Game More Plentiful.

Freezing, Va, May -. Small
game, such as gray squirrels,
phesants and partridges, is
more plentiful in Dickinson
county than 1t has been for
some years past. Especially is
this true of the Virginia side of
the Cumberlands, which section
is mare sparsely peopled than
other sections OF the county
In these mountains squirrels
are being killed by the score.
Black squirrels are said to be
found occasionally. This spe-
cies of the rodent family is sell
dom seen here. The game laws
are not enforced III this county
in consequence of which there
is much reckless shooting at
all seasons.

Farmers generally report that

crows and other vermin are
taking it up TO an almost alarm

which was thought to be nearly
extinct, is to be found in con-
siderable numbers in and about

plant the missing corn at the
first working, but the second
planting does not ordinarily
thrive.

o. tensive yards to handle their
large traffic from the mines and
sectiOn adjecent to Big Stone

these yards would be built soon
and when completed that it
was the intention the Railroad
Company to making this place
tn starting point for all trains
OF the Virginia and Southwest
ern, that all the trainmen would
make Big Stone Gap their
homes, which would greatly
Benefit the town. He stated
that q good many of these men
were already acquiring home
at this place. He realized that
the town was very much handi-
capped at the present time on
account of suitable houses for
people to live in who wished to
move their families here, but
Stated that he was very much
gratiiied to announce that ar
rsngements were on foot, with
