While there are many families in
this county short of fuel yet the situa-
ton has been considerably relieved
during the last week. The adjustment
of the strike trouble between the
miners and operaors whereby the
miners have gone back to work, makes
the prospects for obtaining coal much
more promising. On these prospects
the railroad companies and fuel dir
ectors have issued orders releasing
great amount of coal and coal is
being received by the dealers here
much more readily The ban has been
lifted and the schools and churches
and all business houses are permitted
to rum as they see fit. However, it is
important that efforts be made to
conserve coal just the same as there
is liable to be a shortage all the
rest of the winter unless there is a
long stretch of warm weather.
