Numerous changes will take place this
spring in our neighborhood.
VIM. Borland has bought at private sale
the property of John W. Grimes for 100000.
He will occupy the same about the first OF
April.
The editorial in last weeks issue Of The
ADVOCATE on Public Education has been
favorably commented upon and endorsed by
its many readers in this section. When the ar
ticle was shown to two prominent gentlemen

Star Route system, it would receive their grae
itude and. in our opinion, would be gamer

readers know the impractCablhty oi thus so
called Rural Free Delivery and it is needless
for us 10 go into detail. We are informed by
the party who has the petition IA charge at
this place that fully niue-tenths OF the patrons
of the late postofiice have voLUNTARlALLY
signed it. People here cannot understand
why they should be deprived OF a system that
