Gently and thinks the idea good one.
When the government abandoned
the postotllce in New Market, Indi-
ana, and instituted regular mail ser.
vice In its stead, the Hoosiers of that
vicinity were not altogether pleased
with the change. They missed the
old.time social custom OF coming to.
gether to exchange views ON the
crops. politics and the weather. while
the postmaster leislirely handed out
the various letters and packages ana
read the postcards. WI
Oscar Harman OF Marysvllle came
to the rescue with an original sugges,
ton Why not have all the mail box.
es, Tor some little distance around at
least, centered In one spot, thus pre-.
serving something of the spirit OF the
past? The Idea was eagerly seized
upon and executed In such way as
materially to, assist the rural carrier
on this route.
Upon a tree stump. cut down to an
appropriate height, an old wagon
wheel was set, big dowell being
left In the center Of the stump for an
axle for the wheel Mail boxes were
nailed upon the rims and spokes. The
rural carrier does not have to get OUT
OF his rig. He drives up, turns the
wheel on his pivot. reaching each OF
the II boxes In turn. When his rig Is
sighted, II serves as q call signal for
the whole neighborhood.
David Rice, carrier on Route s. 10
mush Impressed with the Indiana
scheme. and says no has IN excellent
place on his route whore one Of these
"cunty postofiices" could be estab-
lished. But he will insist that only
new yarns" be swapped each day.

TRAFFIC
From Cleveland To CoIum-
bus On The PenDsy
The First Train North On
Friday Afternoon
Trains From Other Divisions
To Be Sent Through
Nj. Vernon

1t was announced at the Pennsyl
vania station, this city. Friday after
noon that the temporary bridge over
the Kokosing river near Gambler, was
completed Friday afternoon at !
o'clock and that traffic over the en-.
tire line from Cleveland to Columbus
would be resumed.
An order was received In the city
Friday afternoon that train No. 5Oz
due in this city at 1886 p. M, would
come through from Cleveland to Col
umbus two hours late. An order was
also received that train No. 50S, north
bound due here at 2:O3 D. M, would
proceed through to Cleveland.
No schedule has yet been received
at the local station, but the informa
tion has gone out that there will be
three trains each way a day--one in
the morning, at noon and in the even
ing.
No night trains will be run at the
present time.
Trains will proceed slowly over
the north end of the road.
1t Is tho expectation that traffic
will be very heavy over the Pennsyi
vania through this city for some days
to come.
All Pan Handle trains will be de-
toured to this division of the Pennsyf
vania at Orrville and sent through tc
Columbus. Trains off the Pittsbure
t. Wayne & Chicago division will
also be detoured from Orrville
through Mt. Vernon.
One reason why full train service
will not be established on this diyi
sion Is that all available crews will
be brought into service in pilotine
trains from the other divisions ovei
this division.
1t Is said that washouts are so bat
on the Pan Handle division OF the
Pennsylvania road that 1t will be a,
least a month before trains will be
able to operate on regular schedule.

Commissioners Find Much FIJI
| Must Be Made
At The Bridges Standing In
Eastern Knox Co.
Tour Of Inspection CORc|ud.
ed Thursday Evening

The county commissioners return
ed Thursday night from a tour Of
Eastern Knox county inspecting the
damage done by the recent flood and
estimating the cost of putting in the
necessary bridges and making the
necessary fills. County Surveyor Ar.
thur G. Wolfe accompanied the com.
missioners.
The commissioners found some bad
conditions in certain localities. Els.
pecially was this true near Dial's in
College township where the course
of the stream has been changed by
the Hood. Two fine bridges In this
community were left standing, bu,
the waterway is so changed by the
flood that there is not drop OF wat.
er running under the two bridges.
At the Shaffer bridge near Gambler
1t will be necessary TO make a fill OF
] 200 yards on one approach and sc
yards at the other approach.
At the T'routman bridge. east OF
Gambler. 1850 yards OF All will be
necessary at one approach and 23O
yards at the other.
Al the Mccarthy bridge, near How.
ard, all of IS feet will be necessary
at one approach. A hole must be
filled and 1t will take 80 square yards
Of dirt to do this.
While the village or Zuck was
practically washed away and has been
deserted, yet the commissioners will
make the necessary repairs to the
bridge at this place to accommodate
persons living on the other side oi
the river, making shorter drive to
Mt. Vernon. AT the Zuck bridge a
new span $50 feet in length or fill
of 200 feet will be necessary.
The commissioners also went down
to the Mohican river. but the water
was still so high that no inspection
| could be made. At the Hunter
bridge the commissioners could no,
get close enough to make an inspec
ton. This was also true at Brink
| Haven.
County Surveyor Wolfe Is now
working on the estimated loss by the
food and the bond Issue that will be
necessary to construct new bridges
and make the necessary fills.

This statement flows easily from.

Watered stock is not only one OF
