are crowding New York to secure merchan-
disc and because of the greatest demand for

that tend toward an increase in the cost of

The Bee Rock

Some Of our Appalachia sports
were enjoying themselves one
day last week at the Bee Rock
which has been known as that
way back, in the time when
Appalachia only had one letter.
This rock was known as a So
cial gathering place where the
noble gallianiS either made or
lost their fortune: Well right at
this place is where those young
sports were enjoying the five
up.
Presently one of them got
weary and began to walk
around looking at the ancient
scenes, when his foot slipped
and to his sudden surprise he
had uneurtbed the skeleton of II
nan who had no doubt been
put away many years ago by
some criminal, but nevertheless
the social day for sports was
turned into an appearing excite
ment. The skeleton was brough B
