MAIL SERVICE TO IMPROVE BETWEEN REIDSVILLE AND LEAKSVILLE
September 15-21, 1924 

Mail service to Leaksville should improve with the establishment of truck mail service between Reidsville and Leaksville. 

Under the new service, the mail truck will leave Reidsville at 6:30 a.m. and arrive in Leaksville at 7 a.m., more than an hour earlier than at present. 

This early mail will be from trains arriving at Reidsville between 5 o'clock in the afternoon and 6 o'clock in the morning and constitutes the bulk of the daily mail now received at the Leaksville office. 

The truck will leave Leaksville for Reidsville at 9:30 a.m. 

This service has been sought for some time by Leaksville residents and businesses.
