Beginning last Mon, the Hampshire Southern will carry the mail. The mail route from here to Romney will be discontinued and the mail will be carried from Old Fields to Cunningham. A route will also be run from Purgittsville to Romney. this is a great mistake on the part of the department, as it will cut off a large number of the people in the Flats, from good mail service.
