Mali Routes ina Upper Louisiana.

1t would appear that the list of successful
applicants for Mail Routes in our section of
State, from the Baton Rouge Gazette is not
correct. The route which was stated to have
been taken by Mr.. Oliver of Hayrisonburg,
is again advertised in the Natchez Free

From this it will be seen there is another
chance for bidders on this important route,
which passes through our town. 1t would
appear the above is the specific terms of the

ceive bids. They are different from those
first advertised both as regards time and
mode of conveyance. The reported success
