We just received word of a problem at the News Tribune printing department and our paper will not be printed and ready to pick up until midnight or after.
Consequently, we will picking it up at 8 am tomorrow morning and have it back in Orleans about 10 am.
This means all local subscribers with USPS delivery will not receive their paper until Thursday or one day later than usual.
PO Box delivery will also likely be late too. We should have papers on the newsstands by noon.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

CORRECTION!!!
The front page story this week in the Progress incorrectly stated the courthouse flagpole dedication was scheduled for next Tuesday.
It is taking place this coming Sunday at 1:00 pm.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
