We have not received a Mems
phis paper through the mail on the
day of its publication IN over two
weeks, and often the papers shipped
by express to be delivered by car
rier do not arrive until the follow

part of some one. The trains con-
meet at Milan, giving ample time
to transfer the mails, and there is no
genuine excuse why we should not
receive the papers on the day they
are published.
