According to Mr.. Etters statement this city
is the only one in the land where a Sunday
delivery system has been In force. When
this delivery was discontinued on account
of the general closing Of business places dur
ing the summer there was little or no com
plant, but now that some stores are open
for short time Sundays, the morning de-
livery is missed. Perhaps there would not
be so much complaint II better service was
given at the postofiice on Sunday forenoons,
but as 1t is business men are compelled to
wait while school girls and others blockade
the window. II a change in the matter of
distributing mail at the postoffce is made
the business men will doubtless become re-
conciled to the loss Of the usual Sunday
morning delivery.
