VOLCANO AT CLINT
WOOD. VA.
Smoke issues From Hole Ia Ground Near
Mysterious Mine.

Clintwood. Va, Nov. IL
Joseph Baker arrived in Clint
wood at s O'Clock Saturday
morning and reported a vOlcan-
&c eruption on Prof. y. W. Re-
mines farm half mile east of
this city.
The report passed from per
son to person and Hundreds of
people began TO flock to the
designated point to investigate.
The sheriff, circuit court clerk.
the preachers. the small BOYS.
were all there. and much ex-
element prevailed.
A hole in the ground ten feet
in diameter was found and a
volume of smoke issuing there
from, seemingly that of coal
burning in the hill below, where
there is a coal bank which has
not been operated for years.
Some attribute the smoke to
the presence of natural gas.
though at present no one is able
TO give any practicable explain
alton.
The coal mine near the scene
of the excitement was aban-
doned on account Of COST stories
told about it-many persons
claiming 60 have seen sights
and heard unexplainable noise

THE TELEPHONE GIRL


The telephone girl sits still in
her chair and listens to voices
from every where. She hears
all the gossip. she hears all the
news, she knows who is happy
and who has the blues; she
knows all our SORROWS. she
knows all our joys; she knows
every girl who is chasing the
boys; she knows of our troubles:
she knows of our strife; she
knows every man who is mean
to his wife; she knows every
time we are out with the boys:
she hears the excuses each
fellows employs; in fact, there's
a secret meath saucy curl of
that quiet demure looking tele-
phone girl. If the telephone
girl would tell ali that she
knows, it would turn half OF
our friends into bitterest foes:
she would SOW a small wind
that would soon be gale, en-
gulf us in trouble and land us
in jail; she would let 20 her
story which gaining i'm force)
would cause half of our wives
to sue for divorces; she would
get ali the churches mixed up
in a fight, and turn all the days
into sorrowing night. IN fact
she could keep the whole town
in stew if she'd tell "a tenth
part of the things she knew.
Now don't it set your head in a
whirl when you think what you
owe the telephone girls-EN.
