<DIV align=center><B>Heavy Express Business</B></DIV>
<DIV align=left> The Southern Express company did the
largest business locally yesterday that it has ever done in its history in
the city. Even the heaviest Christmas shipments of former years were
exceeded and late into the night the men were kept at work consigning
express to the various consignees. Over 100 kegs of ice cream were
shipped from this city while several thousand watermelons were shipped to
all parts of the field. All kinds of produce was constantly on the go
while the brewery shipments to out-of-town buyers were heavier than in
former years. Fourth of July week is always a busy week but the
Christmas weeks have heretofore held all records.</DIV>
<DIV align=center>------</DIV>
<DIV align=left>[<I>I don't know whether the ice cream was produced in
Bluefield or where the watermelons came from, but Bluefield had a really
large brewery to quench summer thirsts (until Prohibition) as shown by
the attached picture.</I>]</DIV>

<DIV align=center><B>Extra Coaches on All Trains</B></DIV>
<DIV align=left> Yesterday every train leaving the city
carried a large number of passengers going to their homes for the
Fourth. Others left for various cities where they will take in the
ball games while many went away just to spend a day in the country where
they could visit friends. Extra coaches were put on every through
train.</DIV>
