New Post Office
A post office has been established at the village of Lexington in
this county, to be called Cedarville, with M.D. Story as Post
Master. It is a special route from Washington to that point to be
carried once a week--the conditions being that the proceeds of
the people of that vicinity. we should think the citizens of Lime
Creek might find it to their advantage to make an arrangement to
have the route continued through to Wassonville. It might be done
with little expense, and thus put them in direct communication
with the county seat.
