REV. AIRHART GIVES ADDRESS
The annual Hurst Reunion was
UP STAIRS—
pidly making a clearance of fl'onu n -A ish Suits
held today in the J. W. McCamniack grove near Belle Union. It was a delightful day for the event, and a large crowd was present, more than 1200 people being estimated to be
upon the grounds.
During the morning a program composed of numbers given by member: of the Hurst family was given, v Then on*' of the celebrated Hurst din- ; ners war served. After dinner there X was music, and the address by Rev. T : Airhart of Roachdale. More music .1 was then heard after which James A. £ I Hurst, from Virginia spoke. The v program, both afternoon and morn- ; ing wore excellent and much enjoyY ed. The addresses were unusually *!' i good and held the attention of the
large audience.
Mctiii Cooeli \\ iihsiund Tests ao.l H ive Proven tlmost Indesii-n.l-alde — Eftecl a Big Saving. \ . a re .nli of con:'idemhie talk among (he I. ading ollicials of both Hie Vandalia and Big Foui roads of late, it is probable that, in the course of another year th e greater part of the passenger coaches of both roads xvill be made of metal instead of wood. The New York Central, of which the Big Four is a part, has been contemplating for some time the adoption of this new style coach which has taken so well on the larger roads of the East. The Vandalia now has a number of the new cars In use on its large Pullman trains on tlux through service from St. l.ouis to New York. The officials have given the car a thorough trial I and are very well satisfied with the j durability and other superior quail- j ties of the car, and it is most prob-! abb* that in the time of 12 months! the greater part of the rolling stock I of tins line wll ho made of metal. Many roads of the East have used j the cars for a long time and in all | cases they have stood the test and • have proven almost indestructable in wrecks. It is this one. feature that] is attracting the attention of the lo-
col officials.
While the steel coal car has been in service on the majority of the leading roads throughout the country. not many have been put on the local lines. These cars are indeed a saving to the company because a saving to the company because of the immense loads that can be put on them without fear of collapsing. There is one drawback which undoubtedly causes the officials to hesitate and that is the fact that the steel type car must receive a coat of paint at certain intervals, the exposure to the weather causing the paint metal to rust. Despite his fact the cars have proven very popular wih the different officials, namely, because of their lasting qualities. —•
