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.
