The La Cygne Weekly Journal Linn County Saturday 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.
