A cordial invitation to visit both

Mr.. j. M. Johnson, of Chalybeate,
says he gets his mails very irregular
ly. He says the mails are not carried
through to Chalybeate every week,
that they frequently do not go all the
way to that place. How is this? OF
course we have no knowledge of
the duties of the mail carrier on that
line, but suppose he, like every other
mail carrier, has to make certain
number of trips each week. If he
fails to this he is not doing his duty.
Your attention is directed to the
advertisement of j. G. M. Ross & Son,
to be found on another page. They
have their new spring stock open and
ready for the inspection of their GUS
toners. Come in to see them and
bring your family. Their stock is so
full and complete that all can find
something to please them. Read
their advertisement, and in making
your rounds be sure and call on them.
They want every man, woman and
child in the county to come and see
their stock.
Mr.. q. Sanders, who receives his
papers at Dibrell, was in town one
day this week. He is anxious for us
to change the day of our publication
to Thursday, 50 as to get his paper
Friday. We would be glad to do SC
but it would inconvenience many
Others to make the change. If the
mail carrier could leave Smithville
Friday morning and arrive here al
u o'clock and return that evening
we could send the STANDARD tt
Dibrell Friday evening. Perhaps the
change in the starting point might bC
