Prior to 1820, the citizens here had to go to Lebanon for their mail, that being the nearest point where there was an office. In those days but little mail was received, the postage being 18 cents for every letter.

The first office was at Judge J. D. Lowe's stand, the place being a half mile east of where Students' Hall now is. It remained there till the early part of the decade of 1830, when it was moved to Mason. Here it was called, for a short time, Kirkwood; then the name was changed to Palmyra; but, as there was another such office in the State, the name Mason was given it.
