TOWN OF Ward CITY IS NO MORE.
Railway al Last Adopts the POST
office Name.

Some years ago, before the advent of
the Atlantic, Suwannee River & Gulf
railway, a postoffice was established in
a populous farming section about
eighteen miles southwest of Starke, and
it was given the name of "Brooker" in
compliance with the request Of the Pc
titiOners for its establishment. A few
years later the railroad built throuk h
that section and traversed the farm of
the late Emra p. Ward. Mr.. Ward
secured the establishment of depoa and
in his honor the railway people md med
the station Ward City. Efforts we're
then made to get the postoffice depart
ment to change the name Of the post
Office, but the department, has rule
against giving postOfficeia name Of
two words, and though several efforts
were made to get waiver OF this rule,
the department steadfastly declined to
adopt the new name. So matters went
for dozen years In the meantime
the town made substantial grow tn. Its
commercial institutions multiplied and
no little confusion arose from the plur-
ATTY u na.rsss~asSn NIUE railway Asoon
became part Of the Seaboard system
aud the name Of Ward City'3 an.
peared in all their shipping stati1nem.
The officials of the road were alnAcxX

but to end the confusion
the railway short time ago issrled AN
order changing the name OF War Citv
station 10 brooker, ana as such will
be known henceforward. T.
Shortly after the advent of Till rail.
road Mr.. Ward had the property Yadia.
