MONON RAILROAD DISCONTINUES SUNDAY MAIL SERVICE

For the first time in the history of the Monon railroad patrons of the road were without mail service Sunday. The practice of no mail service on Sundays will be followed permanently by the road, and follows a decision of the mail service heads made last week. The Chi-cago-Louisville train, passing thru here at 11:10 p. m., will be the only Sunday train in the future that will take on mail here. Mail for Chicago and points north, taken on by this train, will be dropped off at Monon and picked up by one of the early morning trains passing through here. The desire to cut down expenses and the shortage of competent mail clerks has been given as the reason for the move.
