Mt Pleasant May, 7 1891 Mr Register Dear Sir; As a subscriber we would like to have you insert the following. We have heard that ui psition is the soul of busisf ss.. But opposition in bids lor mail contract has not given Mt P. a very .soulful one. We sympathized with Ephrai n " when she got her mail ccrried on a wheelbarrow. wheelbar-row. But listen to our tail of woe! We have laid some claim here to being the Queen city of Sanpete, but we now give up the title. Our citizens are waiting here nearly every evening on account of lateness of the train. But what do we set? A small boys toy wagon coming along the street with our mail, (your wheelborrow is'nt a circumstance) And do not think that this is only for once as the wagon is ironed & braced for the purpose as though it had come to stay. Now Mr Ed. we ask you to sympathise with us as we did with you The reason attributed is that parties interested have while underbidding others underbid themselves, and while we have all respect res-pect for the old Gentleman draging the wagon and admire his pluck we do not approve of this stvleol carrying mail and propose the contractors have a small boy to push behind when he gets struck as hr did to night.
