What’s up? Have the mail agents lost all care for the valuable packages entrusted to them? We never get a mail here on Monday mornings although the train from the south passes this point Sunday nights as regular as clock-work; and it often happens that no mail matter arrives at the Bolivar post office for two or three days at a time. Does the fault rest with the distributing agent at the Junction? It is to be hoped that some one of Uncle Sam’s chosen pets will look into the loose way in which mails are handled on the Mississippi Central Railroad, for it is an actual hardship the way Hardeman county people are treated as respects their papers and correspondence.
