<DIV align=center><STRONG>School Girls Pass Through</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Ten young ladies of St. Louis, who have
been attending school at Randolph-Macon, passed through Bluefield yesterday
morning in a private car attached to No. 15 returning to their homes.
Several members of the beautiful bevy were armed with sheep skins, and the
rest declared their intention of returning to complete their college
courses. These young women are very much pleased with Randolph-Macon,
and while they did not say so, it could be read in their faces that they like
the Old Dominion almost as well as they do the land of Anhaeuser-Busch and
Mister Pabst.</DIV>
<DIV align=left>[<EM>I thought the Pabst was in Milwaukee.</EM>]</DIV>

<DIV align=center><STRONG>Wades River to Save Train</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Eastbound passenger train No. 16, Captain
Hutton, narrowly escaped a wreck yesterday afternoon in the vicinity of
Davy. A large tree fell from the mountain top above and slid down the
slope just as the train was approaching. A boy by the name of E.
S. Rose who was standing on the opposite side of Tug River saw the tree fall
and took in the situation. He waded the river and flagged the train just
in time to prevent the wreck, which would have inevitably occurred.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>------</DIV>
<DIV align=center><STRONG>Increase in Traffic</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV align=left> There is a very decided increase in the
passenger traffic of the Norfolk and Western, especially the west bound
travel. No. 3, west bound, last night was loaded to the guards, and
according to the various trainmen coming into Bluefield there has been a daily
gain for several weeks.</DIV>
