One of Darrell Young’s campaign promises while he was running for sheriff earlier this year was that he would look for ways to save the taxpayers of Cannon County money.

Sheriff Young has already delivered on that promise in several ways, including the installation of a mailbox at the Cannon County Sheriff’s Department.

Previously the department received mail at a box at the Woodbury Post Office. Sheriff Young said the department will save $97 a year by having mail delivered.

Trustys Patrick McCullough, Jason Couch and Tony Barrett constructed the mailbox.
