PeopK- were in Snyder Monday
from Ira and Itunn and snid the Sig-
nal had not come to those towns
when they left home Monday morn-
ing. The lista for those towns went i
out from hero Friday afternoon nnd i
oven In the circuitous route ought
to have been delivered Saturday
morntng. In these dnye of rush and
hurry we ought to have a quicker
service and could bare if the cltlsen-
shfp of Scurry county had whnt they
are entitled to. The Siipat contains
matter of Interest and business con-
concern every week for the usb-
sortbers at Ira and Dunn and wltb di-
rect route from Snyder to those two
towns the paper wouli reach them on
Friday and they would gt the county
news fresh fronj the press. As It now
Is they can't get it till neit dayand
some times for three days.
Now If every point were not In
faror of this mail going out from
Snyder Instead of from Colorado we
wouldn't so strongly Insist but In this
ase there is mil a linn of argument
in favor of the Colorado ronte. Rvery
piece of malt sent out on that star
ruute from Colorado la delivered in
Scurry comity. Then again wllh the
entft(irn mall uomlnif
In by carl?
morn fug trains It can be turned ofet;
here to a star polite as early as at jwern cnniluoied by ttev
Colorado. Th j people of Snyder. nrl
nnd those of Hje Smith part of (he
county havn ocraslon erury day for
bustnesfl correspondence and they
ar.ej ofifn loser because of lack of
quick communication. At least K
per cent of the people want a chnngc
in their maH route and they ought
to hare It.
