ROUTE CHANGED.
THE CHANGE MADE IN RU.
RAJ ROUTE NUMBER
ONE.
Now Covers More Territory and Takes
In Thirteen More Families Than u
Did Before Working Successfully.

The rural delivery system is work
ing now more satisfactory than ever
before, according TO the figures show
ing the amount of matter offered and
the verbal reports expressing satisfac
tion with the system in its workings.
Today change is announced in
rural route number one, which is at
tended TO by Nathan w. Martin, and
which extends north and northeast of
the city Instead of continuing north
west on the Fountain City pike from
Chester "a hitherto, he now turns off
10 the west. at the north end of the
Chester bridge. continuing west for
one mile. Thence he goes north one
mile on the Union pike. and thence.
following the pike to the Fontain
City road. Bv this means he
travels one mile further. misses two
families that he formerly served and
takes on fifteen more, making a
gain of thirteen families over
the original route. 1t is thought that
few changes will be made. as the plan
is in excellent working order and has
already come TO be regarded almost as
s. necessity by those who have been
the beneiciaries of it. Should the sp-
propristion bill come to be q law as If
is now pending in congress the routes
Will perhaps become fixture and per-
hapS be extended ere long.

A GOOD DICTIONARY
For Two Cents.

A dictionary containing the definitions
of 10 900 of the most useful and important
words Of the English language, is pub
ushed by the DR.. Williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady, n. Y. 1t is a complete die
tionary, concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common
words whose spelling or exact use occa-
sion at times a momentary difficulty, even
to well educated people. The main aim
has been to give as much useful informa-
ton as possible in a limited space With
this in view, where noun, adjective and
verb are all obviously connected in mean
ing. usually only one has been inserted
The volume will thus be found to con-
tain the meaning of very many more
words than it processes to explain.
To those who already have a dictionary,
this book will commend itself because it
is compact, light and convenient; TO those
who have no dictionary whatever, 1t will
be invaluable. One may be secured by
writing to the above concern, mentioning
this paper, and enclosing a two-cent
stamp. Please mention this paper.

DRY GOODS MARKETS.

New York. Jan. 20.-In dry goods IN the
local markets today. at first hands the
strength added to the market by the de-
velopments of the last few days was very
apparent. In all lines of cotton goods the
sentiment is stronger than heretofore. Al
though sellers do not find 1t advisable 10
advance prices as yet they are still very
stig in their attitude towards buyers. Ad-
yances in both extras and odds in print
cloths are reported and this tends TO give
firmness to the market. Print cloths show
slight advances and very much strong
er tone in eastern lrst-hand markets. tx
tras have been sold TO ths extent OF l3.v0O
al 2Ikc plus l per cent" Further bids at
this figure were refused today. Bids for
thfrtv-eight and a half inch sixty-four
squares at 1-lGc were also refused. II
was reported that there is steady de-
mand for both extras and odds. Eastern
and southern goods are practically on the
same basis now. Prints are generally
firm. They are in somewhat Irregular de-
mand,
