By all means we should have
mail dispatched from Ironton on
train No. 8 which goes north about
seven o'clock P. M. AS it is now
you can deposit a letter for st.
Louis in the Office at 4:30 O'Clock
P. M. and it doesn't leave the Office
until two o'clock the next day
lies in the Office almost twenty
four hours. 1t is ridiculous and
the change should be made at
once.
