“Pumpkin Center Times Star,” a local correspondent from Ferrellsburg in Lincoln County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Lincoln Republican printed on Thursday, March 23, 1911:

The weather is fine at the present writing.

The farmers are hustling about getting ready to plant potatoes.

Walt Stowers is very ill with indigestion.

Richard Tomblin and his son, Coon, George Fleming and James Gore, of Pumpkin Center, were arrested a few days ago on a charge of grand larceny and confined in the Logan county jail to await the action of the grand jury. It is believed by many that they will have to serve a sentence in the penitentiary. Mr. Tomblin is a well known business man of this vicinity. He was one of the largest stockholders of the Burns Chair factory and was president of the firm when the arrest was made.

The stockholders of the Burns Chair Factory held a meeting last Saturday and elected J.W. Stowers, President. The business will start up at full blast in a few days.

Jeff Burn has just finished a fine dwelling house for Sol Riddle.

E.O. Petrie and F.B. Adkins have the hall about completed which will be occupied by the Golden Rule.

Allen Bryant has recently moved into the Petry and Adkins property.
