Receives Specially
Built Automobile

has been presented to a 22-year-old
Noble county veteran, who lost both
arms while serving in the European
theatre, by George NJ. Church, a

A graduate of the SarahsvilIe
high school, Stiles entered the serv-
ice in January 1943, and went over
seas in January, 1914, serving as a
technician fifth grade with an arm

STRIP MINING
IN MANCHESTER
SHOWS INCREASE
King Delivers Tons
Of Black Diamonds
To Outside Market

The Manchester strip coal mine
just over the line in Morgan and
operated by Lawrence King Of Noble
county has been doing real business.
Tons and tons of black diamonds
have been trucked from this strip
mine on the Marshall farm on Little
Olive Green creek and delivered to
railroad at Caldwell for shipment.
A break of stripping shovel and
condition of roads near mine, en-
forced a temporary showdown the
latter part of last week. An aver
age of six trucks have operated daily
when conditions were right and
trucks available.
While the Marshall homes are in
Center township of Morgan county,
the present operations are on an ad-
joining six acre tract of Marshall
farm in Manchester township in
Morgan. The option covers Marshall
farm in Center township as we'll as
in Manchester. The present opera
tions are within a half mile of the
Noble county line and scarcely two
miles southeast of the Morgan coun-
ty village of Reinersville.
Another coal-striping operation
further west of this village in Man
chester township on six acre tract,
purchased of William Brothers by
is now in progress and all
ready for production.
Harold Scott of Bristol township,
Morgan county, has been the leading
spirit in organizing a pool of 460O
acres of coal land in Manchester,
and Bloom townships of
Morgan which the collective body of
farmers in the pool are ready to dis
pose of to companies. So, about
Reinersville as about Cumberland
farmers are beginning to look under
the soil for the old farms hidden
treasures.

Lightning Strikes
Fire Siren Switch

During the severe electrical storm
which hit Caldwell and Noble county
Thursday evening, lightning struck
the fire siren switch at the telephone
headquarters On North street.
The siren blew for a short time,
giving rise to the theory that a
home or business place had been
struck.
Ada Ramage and Gertrude Wehr
were on switchboard duty at the
time, but were uninjured.
On the lighter side, it might be
construed that the forces of nature
were celebrating with Caldwell on
the passing of their $4,000 bond is
sue for the purchase of new fire
equipment.
