ter Nelson responded that he would not

The mail route between this place and
/ NAPLES Mills, has been given to Mr..
Cetching of Kentucky. It has not yet
been reported, but we suppose the line
from Glendale to Drawbridge, via Milron,
if it has not already been awarded, will be
awarded to some Washington lobby-gob-
lin. Under the next contractor, the mail
is obliged to leave Drawbridge in the
morning and return in the afternoon,
thus necessitating the driver to reside
there. This would make no difference if
there was any money in the business; but
under the Washington system, the routes
are taken by professional contractors and
sub-let at starvation prices-there always
being plenty to take them at a nominal
amount, who i'll the end come out at the
little end of the horn"
