(Special.) Marshfield people who
send out heavy mails have swamped
the mail clerk on the morning pas
senger train leaving here at 10:40,
and It frequently occurs that as
many as 450 letters are posted at
this station outside the regular mail
bags. Many business men find it
convenient, as do their stenog
raphers. to reply to letters In the
morning and then mall them on the
train. This gives thera an hour
longer, nearly, than if letters were
dropped in the postofflce. An ap
peal has been made, to the people
of Marshfield to place all the let
ters possible in the postofflce.
