SOMETHING IN A NAME.

The following circular has been pre-
pared by the First Assistant Postmas-
ter General in addressing postmasters
relative to changing the names of a
number of postoffices throughout the
country, the titles of which are too
long or similar to others in States
where the name when abbreviated is
liable to be confounded, such as Ga,
La, Pa, and Va
"Sir A great deal of confusion in
the transmission of the mails is caused
by the unnecessary long names for
postofices particularly is this the case
when the prefxes of East, Centre,
New, North, South or West, ETC., or
such additions as Burgh, Centre, City
Corners, Greeks, Cross Roads, Depot,
Hill, Hotel, Hollow, Junction, Mill,
Mound, Peak, Plain, Point, Port,
Prairie, Rock, River, Run, Ridge,
Store, Station, Spring, Town, Vale,
Village or Valley, ETC., etc., are used
The Department proposes to change
the name of your Office. but before do
ing 80 reasonable time will be given
you to state the wishes of the patrons
regarding such change. If you can
suggest short name, more suitable,
due consideration and attention will be
given to your suggestions"
n 1t is believed that the names of at
least 5000 postoffices will be altered,
but the change will be made gradually
so as not to cause much embarrassment
in the mail service.

We write to lay before the

There is a belt nf country ly-

New Years creek to the river;
from said creek towards Wash

This is the richest and the
most productive portion of our

ands Of bales of cotton find
their way to Navasota, Court
ney and Chappell Hill, year
after year, when it can be turn
ed to BRENNAN.
If this road is built and a de-
pot established on the Rock Is
land road you will add consid-
erably to your cotton receipts,
besides you will satisfy a want
long felt. Cedar, walnut and
ash timbers will be continually
kept by your dealers.
This is the route for the in
