guilty parties ought TO be fired out of
their places unless there is change
for the better. One week will bring
complaints from our subscribers at
Bcllevicw aud Cadiz who fail to get
their papers. Another week our pa =
rons al Lafayette will be served in n
like manner. The other day an Oak
Grove subscriber came IN and report
al that there had been no mail sent
there fora week. Yesterday we re-
ceived note from Pembroke saying
"Yom paper at this Office has been
from one TO four days behind time
here for more than n month. This
IS giving much dissatisfaction with
your patrons" When we know oui
papers are oil mailed the morning OF
publication, and that we have moi
failed to mail them on time for years
we are at u loss TO understand the
cause of the complaints. We hope
the postmastcrs will notify us OF
every irrcgularity and we will inves'
tigate matters and try to locate the
pegllgcnce and then make complaint
to the proper authorities. We are
getting tired of these useless and an
noying blunders of incompetent Off
cials.
