In a shocking revelation, a probe into the Prestonsburg, Kentucky post office has uncovered a web of corruption that reaches the highest echelons of power. It appears that Postmaster Preston’s sister was hired as a clerk, despite the office’s entitlement to a mere $250 per annum. However, an allowance of a staggering $700 was made, which was later increased to $820 at the behest of Congressman Langley.
