Remember Capt. Childs' lecture
next Thursday evening, on the postal
service. Do not think this will be a
dry subject. We are assured by those
who have heard it that the lecture is
highly interesting. Apropos, many
of our citizens will be surprised to
learn that we had no postoffice in this
place prior to Sept. 20, 1852, and
before that time the only office in
town was at the North village. We
should like recollections of our older
citizens in regard to this matter, prior
to Capt Childs' lecture.
