The P. O. Dept has ordered some
change in our rural route which
will be effective Sept. f6th.' The
changes are partly to enable the
! carrier to wait at the office till the
Holly mail comes so that the entire
route may be served the same day
the mail comes in. Heretofore the
south end mail was day late
while the north end received mail
the same day the mail arrives. The
people OF the south end never have
liked this idea and In order to SER
We the entire route the same day
the mail arrives 1t was necessary
for the Dept. to change the route
some so that the carrier need not
come back to the office after serv-
ing the south end. The route will
travel the Plains grade west from
the Holly road, which used to be
the old Star Route. These people
have been trying for this change
ever since tho Star Route on that
road was discontinued. There is
change on the south end in that the
carrier goes south on the Holly
road to the Buckeye Store. instead
ot crossing the Holly road as at
present. This change brings the
route nearer to number on the
| south, east corner.
The amended description of the
route is as follows: East 2, South
