Larger</STRONG></DIV>

<DIV align=left> The Virginian Railway, according to some
trade papers, is shipping thousands of tons of coal from the Winding Gulf daily,
but information received in this city yesterday brings the total down to ten
cars daily. It is expected, however, that in the course of a month the
road will be carrying twenty-five cars a day from the Winding Gulf. There
are no coke ovens on the Gulf so all the shipments are of coal. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad [<EM>sic</EM>] has graded within seven and one-half
miles of Mullens and it is reported that the road is going to run into Mullens,
but nothing definite can be learned. Mullen, although small, expects to
be a prosperous town some of these days.</DIV>
