WHAT HAS THE FUTURE In STORE
FOR MARTINSBURG?

lit does seem as if Martinsburg
will make forward bound in the
next few years.
There are reasons enough to justi-
fy The prediction.
There is unusal business and in
dustrial activity all around us.
Baltimore and Washington capi.
tai is pushing southwark.
Philadelphia and northern aud
eastern capital and labor are looking
in this direction.
The Shenandoah Valley is TEEN.
ing with life and effort never known
before.
The Cumberland Valley is over
flowing with wealth and prosperity
and is crossing the river for new
fields of investment.
Beginning at the Ohio River there
is a boom in railroads, glass works,
nail mills, &C.; coming on to the Ka.
nawha and Monongahela railroads
skirt every bank, coke ovens blaze
along every mountain slope, timber
is falling and finding its way to
market where ten years ago it was
deemed inaccessible.
Como to the Cheat and to the
North and South Branches of the
Potomac,-to the famous "Davis'
Road region, that will connect the
Potomac territory with the Great
Kanawha and Ohio country; here
capital is centering; emigration is
coming in,-railroads are conJending
for the transportation of it's wealth
to the seaboards, the B. &. O., the
West Virginia Central, the Pennsyl-
vanla, the Chesapeake & Ohio; the
Piedmont, Cumberland and Henry
G. Davis branches; the Cumberland
Valley going around by Winchester
in and up to the coal beds of the
mountains; the Western Maryland
fighting for the right of way ON the
towpath of the canal from William.
sport to Cumberland, from the coal
mines to Washington and Baltimore,
These roads have millions and mil
lions they will spend to make untold
millions more.
Consider our home claims: Martins
burg is in the line of all these roads;
there is coal and timber and ore and
limestone and probably gas and oil
in our mountain spurs and valleys !;
capital is seeking after it; land is
being bought up and leased, all of
which means business and business
means money and money makes the
town 60.
Even right here in town there are
encouraging signs property is in
demand; the town is spreading ont !;
a better spirit of Improvement pre-
walls; opposition is ceasing; fogyism
is dying out or feeling ashamed OF
itself as out of place in the light of
facts versus old Rip Van W, the
field of every business and profes.
sion is charging, and there are many
signs that indicate a favorable trade
wind in this direction. Every mans
help helps, and fortune helps the
town that helps itself.
