Our information is that Teague’s Station will soon have a post office. We understand that the bond of the Postmaster has been executed and forwarded and it is expected that the necessary documents authorizing the opening of the office will be received in a few days. This is a great convenience to the people of that section and the Bulletin congratulates them.
