LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Wants Earlier Opening
Frostburg, Md., November 1st
To the Mining Journal:
About five weeks ago I was able to get my mail at noon on Sunday and get on the car for home, and again last Sunday. Both times the cars were a little late. But if the post office would open at 11:45 a.m. we who live down this way could get our mail and home every Sunday.
As it is, we have got to choose between riding home without our mail or walking home with it.
As "The Eckhart Philosopher" would say—bay yeminy, may nem is YUMBO
