Mr.. Postmaster McNeely, who arrived

we learn incidently. had an under
standing with the Department that
will probably result in additional mail
facilities between this city and Gin

move, the Department is ready to au-,

Lou sville on the same terms as it
is now carried on Tuesday and
Fridays by the Cairo packets.
Mr.. McNeely also gave to the Super
intendent OF the money order office
the names of some frty offices in
Southern Indiana and Illinois, and
Southwestern Kentucky. to which the
benefit of that system ought to be ex-
