POORER MAIL SERVICE.

The Department at Washington no.
titles us of change of mail service un-
der the new Rappahannock schedule.
No mail on steamer arriving from or
going to Baltimore on Wednesdays.
No mail on steamer from Norfolk
Mondays or to Norfolk Tuesdays.
This leaves US with the poorest ar
rangement we have had in ten years.
1t might be taken by some that our
business interests are deteriorating, yet
the reverse is. the true status. A great
hardship will be put upon our people if
this arrangement stands, but 1t is to be
hoped the Department will pay defer
ence to the protest it will receive.

na-TO OLD SUBSCRIBERS.

Some of you, friends, are as much
Tor more) as two years behind in your
dues. Either from neglect, lack of
interest or lack of means you have
failed to respond to our modest appeals
topay up. We cannot carry you longer;
we wish we were able to give to all our
paper free, butt takes several hundred
dollars every month to pay bills, and
our bank account is not flush. In all
kindness and earnestness we ask you
for our dues. This is the last copy that
will be mailed such of you as do not pay
up before next week. We are forced
to purge our list, as raw paper has
gone up to figure almost equal to our
subscription price for the printed paper.
Respectfully,
VIRGINIA CITIZEN.

This Hercules hated to appear in

yards OF cloth it takes to make that
