Thanks TO the efficiency OF Congressman
Ryan. and to the efforts of NJ NJ. Murdoch,
we are at present deriving the benefits Of a
daily mail service from Anthony to Wichita.
We have suffered so many unreasonable de-
lays and Irregularities in our former mail ser
vice from Wellington. that the new daily SER
vice is Il welcome relief. The new route.
which for the first few days was all in cOnfu-
sion. is now running smoothly and is the
surest and quickest method of sending all
mail matter.-Anttoay Republican.
The new daily mail will prove a great con-
yenience to the business men Of Wichita and
Anthony The old service was nuisance.
We hope within few months to see large
passenger coaches vibrating between these
points loaded with passengers and express.
Personally, we were simply working for the
interests of the Southwest as we have always
endeayored.
