During the last days Of the siege

very highly the juicy qualities OF the
mule steaks which, in those DAYS
that tried mems souls, had become
"a luxury. The last wall paper eli

for printing when the Federal troops
look possession of Vicksb1rg on July
an 1863; and was printed with an

MERCHANTS
UP IN ARMS
Changes Made to Compete
With Virginian Railway.
Effective Tomorrow

Merchants of Dlucflcld are UP I'm
arms against the Norfolk and West
crn Railway ON account % the new
schedule which IL efrectiv. tomorrow
and has apparently been arranged
without thought or consideration
for this city, inasmuch 80 glance
vt 1t shows that people who wish
TO shop here. coming from the coal
Aolds and points cast will not have
n reasonable length of time to ac-
compliSh their purpose. Or account
OF this new timetable business Wis
itors to Blueileld Will pe compelled
To remain here all night, entnili1g
an extra expense which, even II IL
could be afforded many people would
not do. Undoubtedly the timo OF
arrival and departure OF the Norfolk
and Western trains on a7d after to-
morrow will prove ruinous for Blue
field and the merchants - going to
take active steps to have I. rearrang-
ed. In the words of a prominent
business man here: "The Norfolk
and Western has handed Bluefield n
lemon"
by consulting the schedule II is
observed that people west OF Blue
field will have to arise about three
o'clock In the morning to come to
this city, arriving here shortly after
Z O'Clock. This people will not do.
II they do not catch this train those
at intermediate stations will be COM
PEELED TO catch the train which ar
rives here at 1920, and II they do
not catch No. I. which leaves here at
2:15 they will have to spend the
night here. Train No. will leave
Blueticld for the east at S:55 a. M,
but people at Intermediate stations
cannot board IT.
People who come to thiS city from
inteTmodiatc stations in the east will
not arrive until about 1'i5 y. M,
ana cannot catch another local
train TO return home until the fol-
lowing day.
All Of the merchants and business
men assert that this schedule will
play havoc with their business, as
the retail trade Of Bluofeld is COM
posed largely Of that from the Gelds
and nearby points east, It is clearly
seen why this Is true.
The matter has been called to the
attention OF Bluehcld-Graham Cham
Der OF Commerce and this body will
cooperate with the merchants here
n asking the Norfolk an Western
10 rearrange the schedule
ON the whole the new schedule
is fierce and many have character
iZcd IT, as rank and raw deal"
TO-. BlueGcld No effort wi be
gpdred to have the Norfolk and West
ern declare it's new system Of train
crvicc void, and substitute made
which viii meet with the require
mcnts Of the city.
BlucGcld has always proven n
source OF great revenue to the Nor
folk and Western. the freight ship
ments and passenger receipts to and
from this city by way OF this route
throw many dollars into the Golfers
of the treasury OF the roaI.
In railroad circles f. 4, a well
known fact that the Norfolk and
Western in maHing the many recent
changes in IT'S passenger service is
doing so % compete with the road
constructed By the late Henry H.
