Our Mails.

MIR. EDIToE-A timely and pertinent
editorial OF late ENTERPRISE calls
attention to the recent change Of sched-
ule in our mail trains. That suffering
public should quietly submit 10 such
injustice and injury is not to be thought
of. But the case with many pOstoffices
in the county is even worse than your
editorial indicates. The delay of five
hours in the delivery of mail along the
railroad is bad enough. but OH MANY
branches of the route the new schedule
involves delay of twenty. four hours.
The carrier route to this i, flee embraces
three other Offices, and the schedule
was so arranged as to conform to the
time of the mail trains. As no change
has been ordered in the schedule of our
carrier, the northern mail for these
four offices lies over at Keller for nearly
twenty-four hours, and this in spite of
the fact that two u. S. Life Saving Sta
tions are supplied by this office, to say
nothing of the damage and inconven-
ience done to the people generally.
If no better arrangement than the
above can be made by ouraa lroad au-
thoritles, let US, By all means, petition
the Department for Il return to our
post .chaise facilities. We cannot suf-
fer in point If time, and will at least
have the satisfaction of knowing that
our mail is en- route. and. not quietly
lying over within five mills Of us.
The people of this section are not
only disguised, but Indignant.
Yours truly,
