IN CITY AND COALFIELD
------
Norfolk and Western Surgeons
    Two special Pullman cars passed through the city last night on their way to Norfolk, Va.  The cars were filled with physicians and their wives who went to Norfolk to attend the annual meeting of the Norfolk and Western surgeons.  The party had the cars all to themselves and when they passed through this city seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.  Among those who went from this section were:  Dr. and Mrs. W. R. Willaims, Richlands; Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Grear, St. Paul, and Dr. B. S. Clements, of Giatto.

                                                                        C. HECK,

[This is another example how West Virginia must have been like the Wild West in those days with passenger conductors having to pack heat.]
