Suspension of Ac work in Virginia affects 200 workers
A Reliable Infovne halndtle reports that the suspension only impacts spots in Virginia and does not cross into other southern counties. Richmond sent word that complaints were directed at highway commission headquarters regarding projects. The federal administration favors a 45 cent wage, while Virginia opposes paying more than 30 cents extra, and experts expect a quick settlement to restore payrolls. Two hundred men in Biayefield are affected by the suspension.

Old Timers Recall Stillhouse at Flat Top Yard
Old timers recount the Flat Top Yard stillhouse era during Pocahontas coal boom days. The plant, run by the Hams of Oderneal, produced corn whiskey for local use with about six workers. Revenue men visited, craft dwindled after Prohibition advances, and a Brushy Fork visitor once dropped a jug after a spectral warning, leading him to abandon spirits and embrace a sober life.
