Daily Messenger OF Monday, NOV. 18TH
this clipping is taken: "At one time the
European mails were transported over
this road once week in a special car,wlth

val OF the train one day at Randolph, The
Englishman said to Conductor Pierce,
This is blasted lively town, how many
Inhabitants are there hereY Conductor
Pierce, with his ready wit, answered,
srhey are al here you can count : hem. >"
