rates prevail on the railroads, il may
be mentioned that on a carload of coal

from the Bluefield region the freight
amounted to 4S cents a ton more than

Groundhogs continue TO be pest on
the farms in this neighborhood, par
! ticularly TO the north and west OF

fectly useless. His flesh is not de-
sirable as food, his hide is of no ac
count, and there is no sport in killing
him. They have encroached on the
borders OF town and their dcns are al
most UP to the corporation limits.
