Papers Miscarried.

The Post Master at Newport calls our at
tention to the delay in the county papers
reaching that place in proper time. He states
that they are frequently day late As the
package is handled but once after it leaves
this office, the blame can therefore be easily
traced. 1t is delivered here every Friday
morning to the route agent on the train, and
it is his duty to put off the same as he goes
South with other Newport mail, but instead
of doing SO, he frequently does not put it of
until his return trip. We trust be will at
tend more strictly to the matter and thus stop
complaint.
