\ Remedy Needed

Complaints continually come To us
about the irreguiariiy OF the mails from
this place to Little Cobb and Medic.
While we are aware that the weather
the past winter has been rather inclem-
ent "a great many times, for the success
full carrying OF mails. yet there has not
been proper effort made oftentimes
upon the part of the contractor to facil-
itate the matter, and consequently there
has been much cause for censurc upon
the part of til: inhabitants along the
route. The chief cause for this irrepu-
larity is the inadequate pay the carrier
receives, but he knew prior to accept
ing the contract, that it was inadequate
for the services required, and has no one
to blame except himself. Now we
have large number Of Subscribers on
this route, and must insist that their
mail facilities receive attention more in
conformity Ia the carriers contract,
than heretofore. and if mild reprooi
is insufficient. we shall, to protect our
own interests, adopt more formal
method of seeing that the service is per-
formed.
