Since the first of October last the mail service (so called) on this route has been a fraud upon the gov ernment and an outrage on the psople. The contract service is for six times a week, yet sometimes there is neither an arrival or departure of the mail at Linkvillc once in seven days. The mail, when it Is carried at all, is con veyed either on horse-back or in an open buck-board without any protec tion whatever from the inclemency of the weather. Through mail sacks are frequently thrown off to lay over at various points along the route, includ ing points at which there is no post office. The continuous failures of the mails to arrive and depart on this route, as required b' contract, their ar rival in a damaged condition, or entire ly destroyed by exposure to the weath er, as well as the throwing off of mail packs to remain for an indefinite period at points at which there are no post offices, have been regularly reported to the Department, but with no improve ment in the service. In fact the scr viceif it can bo called such) is daily becoming more demoralized, and the prospects for the future are anything but hopeful, for all the horses and buck boards of the sub-contractor on this route have recently been taken in at tachment for debt. tlirough neglect. This disfiguring de fect shoull be repaired without delay, by using fragrant SOZODONT, which removes every particle of tartar from the teeth and renders them snowy white. This admirable aid to beauty is perfectly harmless and exhales a most delightful aroma, and is in every respect preferable to the ordinary tooth pastes and powders. Try it and see for yourself. Col.
