Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 May 1902 — PLEASE REPORT. [ARTICLE]

PLEASE REPORT.

The Democrat is issued regularly every Friday afternoon and the papers delivered to the postoffice in Rensselaer in time for the evening mails that day. They should, therefore, reach every office in Jasper county on Saturday, and most offices on that morning. Of late there has been some complaint from subscribers that the paper failed to reach their postoffice until Monday or Tuesday This has been particularly true of Blackford, the postmaster there claiming that the paper did not reach there until Monday or Tuesday about half the time. The Blackford mail is made up here and goes through via star route without change, and the postmaster here claims that our package is sent out regularly every Saturday. If so there is no good reason why it should not reach its destination Saturday afternoon. Our Blackford readers will confer a favor by promptly reporting any more failures of the paper reaching there on time and the matter will at once be taken up with the postoffice department at Washington and the trouble located and corrected, even through someone’s official head drops into the department waste-basket as a result.
