Patea Mail, 26 April 1882, Page 2

Public Announcements. NOTICE. URING the winter months, the Mail will be published three times a week —namely Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. Business in this district is becoming depressed as winter approaches ; and this slackness has to be met by some reduction in the expense of a daily paper during a dull period. The delivery of the Mail at settlers’ houses by mounted messengers is also a serious expense, and is exceptionally difficult in the evenings during the wet months of winter, when the roads in this district are likely to be worse even than last winter. Seven horses are employed in this service at present, and the expense would be much increased if continued daily through the winter. Delivery in town is cheap and easy as compared with a daily delivery over 40 miles of country. It i° intended to resume the daily publication of the Mail next spring, if a revival of business be then felt in the Patca district. There is reasonable expectation that revived prosperity will be caused by railway extension, by municipal improvements, and mainly by sales and settlement of land near Patea. The extension of the railway system will greatly cheapen and facilitate the daily circulation of a farmers’ paper like the Mail, which has to be delivered, by one means or another, at nearly every settlers’ house between Waitotara and Manaia. The tri-weekly issue during winter will be a large sheet of news, containing more original matter and fuller reports than is practicable in a daily sheet. The fullest supply of telegrams fsom Europe and the colonies, through Renter’s Agency and the Press Association, and from other sources, will appear in each issue. The Mail will be circulated throughout the district on each evening of publication ; being specially delivered Southward to Waverley (by train to Waitotara) ; and Northward to Hawera, Manaia, and Normanby by Mail messengers. The subscription for the tri-weekly paper will be reduced to the former rate ; namely, 6s quarterly in advance, 7a credit. Any amount already paid in excess of this will be credited to the subscriber. A Weekly Supplement can now be issued, without extra charge.
