Central Agricultural Fair.

Uses to prove one OF the most attract
i've yet held by the Society.
The Journal at Little River.
We understand that there is a great
delay i'll the delivery of the JOURNAL
1pLittle River, in Brunswick county,
and at the Post offices on the route
between WhitevilIe and Little Riv. +.
We have traced the matter up and find
out that the fault is neither with us
nor with the postal Department.
! There is weekly hack line running
from Whiteville to Little River, and
we understand that it leaves the for
mer place regularly every Friday
morning about O'Clock, which is only
| about one hour earlier than the arrival
of the mail train at Whiteville, from
! Wilmington. The mails for Little
River, therefore, are compelled to lay
over at Whiteville for just one week.
We hope that those WHO have the
charge of this hack line will make
some better arrangement than this
BY making schedule for the hack to
leave directly aft T the arrival of the
train from this city. IL great uccommO-
datiOn will be afforded to those living
on the rorte.
