We feel that we owe our readers
on the Lafayette and Longvicw mail
routes an apology for the failure to
send out their papers last Tuesday.
A rush of job work and the lesscning
Of the force in the mechanical dcpar' :
ment, threw the paper behind, and
although every effort was made TO
get the issue out on time, II could not
be done before the postollicc closed
Monday night, aud consequently the
early mails failed to 90 out Tuesday.
This is the second time in four years
that this has occurred and we regret
very much that II should have hap
pcned, especially at the time II did.
