NEW RURAL ROUTES.
Two New Rural Routes Running Out
of Princeton Will be Ready for
Service Dec. L.
One Will Run North into Milo and
Bogus Brook and the Other
Around Spectacle Lake.

A report has been received from
Washington that the application for
the rural routes north and east of
Princeton have been allowed and they
will be opened for service the first of
December. Plats of the new routes
have been received at the Princeton
Office, and also the change that will
be made in route No. 2 made neces-
sary by the opening Of route No. 4,
which goes out east of town, south of
Silver lake and thence east on the
Green lake and Cambridge road to
the Spring Vale town line. From this
point it goes south two miles and west
to Martin farm, thence south to school
No. II, and then west on the main
Travelled road and connects with the
route at the Silver lake road. The.
route will only be one and a half miles
from the Spencer Brook postoffice at
school No. II and arrangements will
be made to have mail exchanged with
that office daily, which will be a great
Improvement over the present round
about service.

road leading directly north from
Princeton to section % of Bogus
Brook, thence east a half mile, north

corner, east half mile, north to Gust
ThOma corner, east to German M. q.
church, north one mile, east one and
a half miles, south to lake, east to

Rust corner, west to Harrington cor
ner, south half a mile, and west to
Harold Mudgett corner, where the

road of the route.
The opening of the new routes will
give to many farmers east and north
of Princeton a mail service that they
have been expecting for some Ane and
the welcome mail wagon will be hailed
with delight by many who have here
tofore been more or less isolated from
the world.
