Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1901 — Still Another Rural Route. [ARTICLE]

Still Another Rural Route.

And still another rural free delivery mail route is in prospect in this county. Postmaster Hurley, of Blackford, is working it up. It is to start from Blaokford and will be 20 miles in length. It is somewhat different from most rural route propositions, in that it is to carry the mail to two other offices, and the contract for carrying is to be let to the lowest bidder the same as the ordinary star route. People along the line can have boxes and have their mail delivered at their houses. The route, as before stated, is to start from Blackford and is to take the mail to Gifford and Newland.
