For South Lincoln Made BY Rural
Route Re-ArranQement.

Another Encouragement of the
rural routes in Lincoln county went
into effect the first of the month
designed 10 facilitate the delivery
OF mail for south Lincoln. Rural
Route Carrier Jesse Manning, who
takes Route 3, out of Stanford, now
meets the Waynesburg carrier at
Highland and exchanges mail with
him, so that mail intended for that
part Of Lincoln can go out to High
land by Mr.. Manning and be trans
ferred to the Waynesburg carrier
and be delivered more quickly than
the route around by Junction City
and the Cincinnati Southern. Mr..
Manning now leaves Stanford at 8
o'clock each morning instead of z
and returns at two.
The next change which should be
made in the routes, should be TO
have mail for Hustonville and More
land leave Stanford each morning
instead of being sent to Junction
City and down the c. S., Mr.. Nc
Clure, the Moreland route one car
rier should start from Stanford. GO
to Hustonville direct and return to
Stanford via Moreland, instead OF
,tnrtlng ut Moreland, coming to
Stanford and returning via Huston
vile as the route is now laid out
II is said that this route would b,
re-arranged by the Postoffice De-
partment if the residents on the
route affected would get mp a pc.
tition, and il behooves them to d,
so, if they desire an earlier deliver,
of mail from this point.
