The latest news thrown at Rappahannock is that someone has suggested the stopping of half the mail service through the county. This new idea means only one daily mail trip from Front Royai to Culpeper and back, in place oz the morning and evening service both ways at present.
It looks like we'll have to holler for Burr Harrison. He manages to think Rappahannock is a pretty good place and he usually sees we get looked out for. Maybe we’d all better start yelling—long and long ——or someone will suggest Rappahannock gets wiped off the map completely!
If care is not taken, the county of Rappahannock is going to develop an inferiority complex. First, we got handed around in the redistricting without any respect to our wishes. Then, the bus company up and removed the bus service through the county, despite the protests of citizens. The bus from Fredericksburg to Winchester runs on Saturday only now.
The county ego jumped up several notches when Governor ‘Battle remembered that Rappahannock still existed and named a judge from this county.
Here we go — getting pushed down again—with somebody’s suggestion that the mail service get cut in half. It might be of interest to know just who made this suggestion? Does he live in the county and thinks his mail comes too often? Or does he live out of the county and doesn't know how we feel about it? Or maybe he suggested that all the mail throughout the state be cut in half in delivery service, especially in the locality where he lives? Or maybe he's getting ready to run for an office and thinks that advocating “economy” would better his condition?
May we suggest that in place of cutting our mail delivery to one mail daily, that the fine fellow who had this brain storm just keep his thoughts to himself in the future, and leave us in Rappahannock alone.
We like the mail service in Rappahannock; it's good, and we prefer to keep it that way.
