September 16, 2011 - Friday is candy day at the Truxton, Mo. post office. Fresh off their school bus, children head inside where postmaster Carol Street offers one per child. The building, built in 1910 as a bank, became the post office in 1945 and still serves that function for its 96 residents.  It could close as early as January, listed among nearly 3700 post offices slated for closure. "We could have protested with signs," said resident Naomi Moran. "But we don't get much traffic."
