THE TIMES calls the attention of its readers to the communication of Postmaster Renne, in another column. THE TIMES admits that Mr. Renne has been extremely accominodating[sic] in the past, and while he is legally right in the new arrangement, is he just to the farming community? a majority of whom, cannot spare the time to come to town more than once a week and that is on Sundays. It is to be hoped that Mr. Renne will see the need of keeping the office open from 12 M. to 1 P.M. on Sundays, then if any one complains, they would complain if they were to be hung.
