The laps seems to be going right
along carrying out their arranged pro-
gram and when any Russians attempt to
interfere they simply brush them back
wards. 1t is really remarkable to see
the almost uniform success that they
have had so far. Even luck has been
on their side. All the accidents-and
there have been many serious ones
have invariably occurred to the Russ
ians. 1t must be remembered however
that as the Japs push the Russians farth-
er backward, that they are pushing them
nearer their base of supplies. while on
the other hand the Japs are getting
farther and farther from home. This is
likely to make some difference in results
in the future, and the Russians claim
that is their object, and when they get
them far enough away SO that the laps
cannot retreat, they expect to defeat and
capture the whole army.

SEEDING.

The situation as to seeding is getting
serious. For quite series of years we
have had comparatively early springs,
and the farmers have had ample time in
which to sow their grain, almost at their
own leisure. This year things are very
different. The cold weather continued
until very late, floods have; soaked the
soil and as yet very little wheat has been
sown in the county. Just what proper
ton of whole however, is difficult to
say, becaus cot the varying conditions in
the different localities, and indeed on the
same farm. Probably majority Of the
farmers in the county barely commenced
seeding last Monday, and if some did
start sooner there are nauy who have
not yet begun. s3.3 & h

brothers fought a duel Friday, each
holding the opposite side of the same
handkerchief. The result is that Jack
Burdett, one of the participants, was
struck twice, once in the leg and again
in the groin. The affair occurred at
Walnut Springs.
According to information, the two
men quarreled last week about some
trifiing matter. A duel was agreed to,
and it was arranged that each should
load his revolver with but two shots
and that each should take hold of the
same handkerchief and not let loose
while firing
AS agreed. they met yesterday at
the break of day at the dividing line
between their farms. No witnesses
were present and the services OF a sur
geon had not been arranged for

chief, which was big red bandanna.

other end.
The latter gave the signal and both
fired. Jack shooting wild and Jess

AT the next signal both fired again,
Jacks cap falling to explode and Jess
shooting his brother in the groin.

!. RECORDS BROKEN
BYLARGE OUTPUT IN NEW RIVER
FIELD-MoRE THAN HALF A
MILLION TONS OF COAL
MINED.

= FAYETTEVILLE w. Va, Sept. s.
More coal was mined in the New river
{ field during the month of August than
in any previous month in the history
of the district. July was a record
breaking month, with 449,065 tons;
but the August shipments eclipsed all
past achievements.
Shipments for the month just closed
$4,000 tons of coal and about lac, 900
tons of coke, or total tonnage from
the New. river field for the month in
excess of 650, 900 tons.
Had it not been for a short supply
of cars during the first few days of
the month, the tonnage would have
been nearly 100000. Some of the
heaviest producers during July also
had short runs for August. The Col
1ins mine, which had led the list for.
three consecutive months past, cut its
August tonnage down to less than
10000
The Sun mine, which is naturally
the largest producer on Loop, broke
all its previous records for August and
loaded over $4,000 tons. The output
of the Rend mines amounted about the
same.
To transport this immense tonnage
required over fourteen thousand cars,
and ths ability of the Chesapeake &,
Ohio Railroad to successfully handle
this traffic speaks well for its manage
ment. Over half the New river out
put is marketed through the agency of
the New River Consolidated Coal &
Coke Company and its numerous
branch agencies.
Better prices are expected to pre-
vail for the present month. and with
all conditions favorable September
promises to be another record breaker
