Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 July 1908 — AN INEXPLICABLE MYSTERY. [ARTICLE]

AN INEXPLICABLE MYSTERY.

For the past few weeks there has been more complaint from subscribers about not receiving their paper than ever before in the past ten years. Just why this is we are unable to state, as the paper is mailed here regularly Tuesday and Friday afternoons and in plenty of time to go . out —and does go out—on the south and north trains on such evenings. Wednesday’s package of Democrats, for example, did not reach Lee until 11:20 a. m., Wednesday instead of about 6:05 p. m., Tuesday, as they should. We are not advised whether the other p jckages south reached their respeotivi I offices on time or not. Other complaints come in where one or two subscribers at a postoffice do not get their paper, although we know that their papers are sent in the packages to their postofflee. With our system of mailing it is almost impossible for us to miss a name here, and Jtfst why' all this trouble should come on at this time we are unable to state. We hope the fact that this is campaign year and The Democrat being a democratic paper has nothing to do with it.
