Star Route Between Saratoga and

Star Route Between Saratoga and
Riceville to Be Re Established.
Postmaster Mosher is in receipt of
advices from the postofice department,
authorizing him to advertise for bids
for carrying the mail from Saratoga to
Riceville, trips to be made daily except
Sunday on the following time schedule:
Leaving Saratoga at 1890 a. m.
Arriving at Riceville at 1890 p. m.
Leaving Riceville at LAS p. m.
Arriving at Saratoga at 3:45 p. m.
It is to be presumed this route is to
connect with the Saratoga Cresco line
which has been in operation. We fail
however to see the advantage Of such
an arrangement, inasmuch as the Sara
toga-Cresco mail leaves Saratoga at
9:15 a. m. and returns at G p. M,
making no mail connections whatever.

The name Bowie Is a very ancient
one, and is supposed to be a blending
OF the early Morse and Scandinavian
with the later Gaelic OF the Scotch
Hishlanders. 1t has been spelled
Buidke. 5ue, Bui, Buie. Boye. Bowye,
and finally Bowie. The name was spelt
Bowie by the John Bowie, emigrant to
Virginia. and has never varied since
the earliest recording of the name. In
Greyfriars Cathedral at Stirling,
Scotland. which was built In 1900 a. D.,
there were two iyles, or chapels: one
of them was called The Qusens lyle
and the other Bwoye's lyle. and the
Importance OF the family at that day
is shown by tho fact. although the
name OF the chapel was changed to
"Stirling lyle" by the Earl OF Stirling,
who is said tojbe of Bowie extraction.
The same arms were borne in ancient
times by both families Tho Bowies
have been quite numerous and infln-
entail In Stirlngshire for several cen
turtles. A portion OF the obstinate
Clan OF Macdonald refusing to SUR
render to the agents of che crown,
removed to Foc!iabers. in Banff. and

| they called Slack Bowie. and were
known as the Macdonald Bowies.'
They defended their possession sue
| cessfully. and the lands, which could
not be taken from them by sword
were quietly sold. and are now owned
| by the Duke of Gordon.
| There is little doubt that the various
Bowie emigrants who came to America
