Show i Oswego and Ovego. No one but a person connected with the Oswego postofflee can have the least conception of the extent of the confusion growing out of the similarity of the names Oswego and Owego. The postmaster post-master in Oswego directed that a count ol the letters designed for the village of Owego sent to the postofflee in this city be kept for one week. The number by actual count was 481. Let our Owego friends apply for a city charter and call the place the city of "Anwaga." "Au-waga" "Au-waga" was the Indian name of the place It contains the "Auwaga house," the "Auwaga bank," etc. It seems to be a name they aro proud of, and it is a euphonious and pretty name, and is what the village or city should be called. If they object to the change, why let them continue to receive their business letters via Oswego, averaging 500 weekly, from twenty-four to forty-eight hours behind time. Oswego Times. |
