<DIV align=left> The summer visitors are coming and going in
droves now. Every day trains are crowded and many of the through trains
are carrying extra coaches. The trains which make local stops seem to
never have room enough for the crowds and for the past two weeks there has been
no sign of a let up.</DIV>

<DIV align=left> Eleven extra cars were taken out on the
Clinch yesterday and will be used today to haul passengers who want to come to
this city on the circus excursion. The railroad people expect to see the
train crowded.</DIV>
