MELROSE IN A STIR

MELROSE IN A STIR
CLARK COUNTY HERALD
18-JAN-1893


Melrose is considerably stirred up. 

  There is suburban town near Chicago of the same name, but the post
office has a different name and the mail for the two places gets
mixed .   The post office department proposes to change both names,
giving the name Melrose to the Chicago Suburb.   J.H. Edwards and
P.F. Dodd were in town Saturday getting up a petition to allow their
post office to retain its old name.   We see no reason why everything
should give up to Chicago and hope our little Melrose may be able to
hold the fort and keep its name.
