Here Is a red-hot roast from the Earl
boro News: For several weeks past Eari-
boro has been cursed with the vilest and
most unreliable mail service that ever dis
graced the name. Through somebody's
asinine management our mail service has
continued to come via Noble on the Santa
Fe, while Shawnee, ten miles west on the
Chocuaw. gets daily mail by train. We
have daily through trains, but either
through malice. Indifference or squirrel
headed fnicompetency this section OF the
glorious Union Is practically without any
man facilities. The Wichita Eagle

Earfboro who have not yet outlived a
former state OF civilization as to become
resigned TO grapevine and country
store methods of obtaining the news, are
fortunate If they get a. paper within three
or four days after IT'S publication The
above complaints are pertinent and in
order when cerulean skies and baImy

starts him on his way to the next postof-

an axle and a hind and front wheel OF an

with wire, rope and stray "reminiscences
Of leather; a horse euacSated. blind. lame
