May 7, 1881

The postoffice at West Point, Mo., was discontinued Monday by order of the
Postoffice Department at Washington, and the postmaster at Burdett, Mo.,
instructed to take charge of its effects. West Point is only a short distance
over the Linn county line, and a large number of Linn and Miami county people
have been receiving mail there, and of course the Missouri patronage was good
for a small office. As there are two stores at West Point, and a fair settlement
around the place, it was a mistake in having the office closed, and the people
out that way are naturally indignant over the matter. They are making an effort
to have the office re-established, and that will probably be done as soon as the
Postoffice Department learns the exact situation of affairs.
