Weather Stops Carrier Boys; Papers Mailed At P.O.

For the second time within five years The Republican has been forced to mail the daily issue at the postoffice for the city subscribers. Owing to the severity of the weather and the huge drifts of snow we felt the faithful carrier boys should not je asked to make their routes this evening, and believe that our subscribers will agree with us in ’our decision. No weekly collections except on one route, were made todpy, but the boys will collect for two weeks next Saturday.
