Newspaper Office.
A newspaper without a postoffice,
and in a town" without a building
except the newspaper office in sight,
has just been established at Haiti, a
newly plated town fifteen miles south

Hazel New Era, is the proprietor. The
railroad still lacks ten miles of reach

get there till the first of the year.
Hiatt is in the geographical center of

of the town confidently expect to be
able to move the county seat to that
place from Castlewood. which is on
the eastern edge of the county and
difficult to reach from the western
portion.
