Full Text

The Milwaukee Sentinel publishes a list of all the Post Offices in Wisconsin which would be useful for business men if correct, but as they place six in Iowa County, which are not there, we are somewhat disposed to doubt the accuracy of the list -Min. Point Tribune

It may seem singular that we should know better than the Tribune, about the number of offices there, yet we think that such is the fact

Will the Tribune specify, so that we may correct if wrong?-Sent

[Certainly, neighbor. According to our ideas of lines and boundaries, neither Elk Grove, Benton, Gratiot, White Oak Springs, Willow Springs or Wiota, are in Iowa County, and singular as it may appear to the Sentinel, they will find upon examination that such is the fact]
