Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1916 — No Reasonable Cause for This Delay [ARTICLE]

No Reasonable Cause for This Delay

Complaints have again been made of the irregularity once more in the arrival of the packages of Democrats at Parr and Fair Oaks. Our subscribers say that Wednesday's Democrat is not received out on the rural routes until Thursday, and Saturday’s Democrat not until Monday. This, we are told, has been ‘•regular’’ for the last two or three weeks. Inquiry at the postoffice here resulted in learning that the Parr and Fair Oaks sack was overlooked last Saturday morning. But, we were told, this was the first time it had occurred in the last month. Of course it shouldn’t occur at all, but if the reports coming from our many subscribers who receive their mail either at Parr or Fair Oaks is correct, some one else has been at fault in the packages not reaching their destination several times before within the past month. The papers are mailed here regularly every Tuesday and Friday evening, probably not having missed being so mailed more than two or three times in the past 18 years. Nearly 300 copies of The Democrat are sent to Parr and Fair Oaks to subscribers receiving their mail rt the local offices or over the three rural routes out of those towns, and it is an important matter that the packages reach their destinations promptly on Wednesday and Saturday morning. The matter will be taken up with the division mail superintendent at Cincinnati if this poor service continues any longer.
