R. time- table made on Monday last af- fect Clinton somewhat, The morn- ing train going east, No. 28, is due in Clinton at 6.28, instead of 6.33, as formerly, and will carry a par- lor buffet car.

It is work which has to be done by responsible people, who must give heavy bonds for the per- formance of the work and the con- tract is bidding upon a man's bonds- men even after, his demise, as was proved in this town's short One ago. Mail couriers are a necessity of our civilization and they 'should be prop- erly remneerated. If the Govern- ment finds it necessary to yeconomize there are many places where it alight be done to advantage. The rural post- masters and rural mail couriers have been working for meagre salaries too, long. It is time they were paid a fair wage. They serve the people well, they deserve falx remuneration.
