-te- 80
The new rural mail routes recentlv
established will be in operation bv
March l, it is stated. Union and
Jonesville are to have an additional
route and there are several other ad-
ditions and changes.
Under the plan for the service out
OF Union there will be several chang
es IN route No. 1, while new route
to be known as No. 5 will be estab-
lished.
Postmaster Young of this city, in
speaking of the proposed changes
gives out the following as to routes
Nos. / and 2, which he hopes will
meet with the appreciation of the
general public: n
Route No. i, as amended. Starting
at postofiice, carrier will 90 east to
ottaray Mill village, via Perrin
Scott, Lowe, Boundary and Gregory
'treets, serve all the streets in Otta-
ray Mill village; thence east to Mon
arch Mill Office. thence southeast bv
Coieman's, Spears and Dunlap's cor
|'ners. to Beulah church corner; thence
-easterly to Tom Davis corner:
thsltce southeast to Meals Shoals
Corr; thence southwest to Sims
corner, thence west to Mitchelps
corper; thence north and southwest
TO Jones Corner; thence northwest
via j. c. Sartor's corner to Coleman's
corner thence via Monarch Mill office
ITO. Postoffice.
Route No. 5. Starting at postoffice
carrier will o east via Monarch Mill
Office and Jim Browns place to Phil
iipi church corner; thence north to
Lease Vaughn's and retracs to Will
Vaughn's corner; thence to. Mt. Ia
bor;s thence to Dr. Hopes corner;
thence southeast to Loves Ford
road; thence westernly to Wander
ford corner; thence South to wor-
|they's Ferry corner; thence west and
northwest To- Whitlock's corner;
|thencE southwest and 10 Brown
op, - ssAs =. 80 Ag(f
me- l.shence northwest to Kit Ivey,s
corneA; thence south to Glover Nor
'ris's corner; thence southwest and
west to postoffice.
The changes on route one to route
five and the crowding of route one
on the Santuc route will require all
parties affected to see the Postmas-
ter and state if they have any good
reasons why the routes should not be
established as above described, and
at least three-fourths of everyone ad-
jacent to the routes will have to
agree to put up the regular regula
tion rural box before the government
will order service established.
Postmaster Young is very anxious
to make his report as soon as posi-
BILE and requests all parties interest
ed to write or see him by the 10th
of next month. He wants to hear
from everybody on these routes
whether they favor or are opposed
to the changes and the establishment
OF the new routes.
Route No. will open up a part of
he county that has had very poor
mail service and it does not seem
there can be any good reason for any
raising any objection, while the
changes on route No. opens up the
Fairview section with an ideal SER
vice and puts Meals Shoals and the
road toward Santuck on the route
from the court house instead of
"om Santuck. AS to the changes on
Santuck route, since they have been
fully investigated by the postoffice
inspectors it appears that they
should prove an improvement on the
service these people have heretofore
enjoyed.
The people in Phillip neighbor-
hood in making such showing as
induced the postoffice inspectors to
give them this service, are to be con-
graduated, and those around the
Spears place and along the Beulah
read certainly deserve this change;
while those around Meals Shoals,
Sims McDaniel's, Gilmore's and Je-
ter's place, on the road from the
Shoals to Santuck, are in better fix.
being in direct communication with
the town and on daily mail route.
1t is hoped every one interested
will give Postmaster Young all the
assistance they can, and as soon as
possible, SO he can get up his neces-
sary reports, hold examinations for
carriers and get the routes put in
daily operation.
