u We have received numerous complaints from SUBJ
scribers Of delay in receiving the Sentinel The fault is
not ours. We disposed to make wholesale
charges against Post Masters but, must say, that
there is great neglect somewhere, and hope it will be
corrected. A subscriber in a club Muncie writes
he has been to the Post Office three times and yet his
papers cannot be had, whilst those who not in the
club receive their papers regularly. All papers to that
office, we know, have been mailed in package, and
if they not received it is not our fault.
