The new town laid out at the depot of the C. & S. W. at Bellair by Hudson & Harvey, is called Numa. The people of Bellair, we are informed, desire to have the name of that place changed to Numa, so as to conform with the name of the postoffice, thereby preventing mistakes in mail delivery, as Johnson county, this state, has a postoffice called Bellair.
