The proposed change Of the point
on the Iron Mountain r. r. where we
receive our mail from Sabula tc
Glover will not, we believe, better
our mail facilities one bit. 1t is true
the roads are some better to Glover
but it is also true that there are two
hills to cross on that road where there
is only n on the Sabula route
There is not much difference in the
distance to the two places from
Centervile, but we are inclined tt
believe that Sabula is nearer.-Rey
