IRREGULARITY OF LINCOLN COUNTY
MAIL.-There is provoking irrogularity
existing somewhere between this city and
Troy in the management of the Lincoln
county mails. 1t not untrequcntly occurs
that paper mailed in Troy on Wednes-
day or Saturday, reaches its destination
in this city two and sometimes three weeks
after time. We have mailed letters OF
the post Office in this city for New Hope,
and instead of reaching that point by
noon of the day of mailing them, thoy
sometimes are week behind time. 1t
would be very little trouble for those con
cerned to remedy this. Otherwise there
may sometime grave consequences result
from it. -Clarksville Sentinel.
