been to Holly Springs during the day,

The Holly Springs Reporter complains
of the irregularities of the mails, and
says:
For the past ten days it has not been
uncommon for the route agent to carry
the mails past this place, to be returned
in day or two. Often the north mail
comes from the SOUTH and the south
from the north. Is this state of affairs
to continue during the winter
The same paper says regarding ship
ments of cotton:
During the month Of November. 1870,
1886 bales Of cotton were shipped from
the Holly Springs depot, as follows: 10
New Orleans, I'll; to Memphis, ll76;
to New York, $40; TO Cincinnati, So.
Had transportation been furnished the
shipments would have reached nearly
5000 bales. sW a. $50
Several of our North Mississippi ex-
changes are complaining bitterly of the
inadequate facilities offered by railroads
for the shipment of cotton to this city.
The Independent South, published at
Holly Springs, says:
Our merchants have had great trouble
this season in getting transportation for
their cotton up TO last week, when ar
rangements were made between the Mis-
sissippi Central and the Memphis and
Charleston railroad to run occasionally
a cotton train from this point through to
Memphis. We would be delighted if ar
rangements could be perfected to secure
through freight trains every day from
this road over the Memphis and Charles
ton road. 1t would add much TO the in
terest Of Memphis.
