NOTICE TO
SUBSCRIBERS
The Eagle office has re-
ceived some complaints and
reports from subscribers who
are receiving their paper late.
Some who used to get their
paper on Saturday in any
number of points in Texas
are now receiving their paper
on Monday and Tuesday of
the next week.. Others whe
need to get their paper on Fri-
day are now having their pa-
per delivered on Saturday or
the next Monday.
These delays apparently are
due to some changes in work

oped recently by the Postal

mailed on regular schedule
and copies are dispatched and
leave the Goldthwalte Post
