New Rural Routes.

y
we are soon to have seven new free
delivery rural routes. This, to-
gether with the FIVE we have en-
joyed for the past two or three
years, makes twelve free rural
routes leaving Union City. Mr..
Taylor informs us that Obion Coun-
ty now, or soon will, enjoy more
free delivery of the mails than all of
Tennessee west of Nashville COM
bined. The carriers on these routes
receive 5000 per year each and will
increase the amount paid out as
salaries tor running the Union City
