An Interesting Employee Of tho
Post Office Department.
A L4ttae Georgian womsn Who Has an
Enviable Reoord-Three Times 81 Week
She Carries tho Nails from One

One Of the most interesting figures In
everyday life In this section of tho
State, says New York World corre-
spondent at Tweed. Ga. Is pretty Matte
Hester, who carries Uncle Sans mails
from the village to che point at which
she lives on farm, twenty miles away.
The fair mall-carrier drives little road
cart, In which she has bravely gone over
her route every day, rain or shine, since
she succeeded in obtaining the posi-
ton II the mails are late one may be
sure the delay did not occur in her ter
ritory, for no stress OF weather can deter
this undaunted little public official
The whole country side knows and Yo-
speots her, but if any protection is need
ed on her lonely journeys her own cour-
ago and determination of character will
supply it.
This year Matte succeeded over all
competitors in securing the mail route
from Condor In Laurens County to Lo-
THAR in Montgomery County, and three
times week she covers distance Of
about forty miles through wild
and sparsely settled section. and her
CHEEKY voice is often heard along
she road in her efforts to drive
dull care away. At her side in small
pocket, fully exposed to view, Is
handsomely polished No. SO Smith &
Wesson OF the most approved model,
and as she is crack shot woe be to the
highwayman or tramp who tries TO bar
the way to that part OF the United
States mails under tho immediate care
Of Matte Hester. She has perfect con-
hdenoe in her own ability to defend
herself, and looks With contempt upon
those timid members of her own sex
who fear to go anywhere without an
escort independence Of spirit is so
striking characteristic OF this unique
young person that the narration Of
some Of her remarkable undertakings
would convey on impression of mascul-
Unity. In her own home or under
ordinary circumstances Miss Hester
Is the embodiment OF womanliness,
Shelves with her widowed mother, two
sisters and young brother, but Is the
real head snd direotor OF the family.
Her beauty is OF tho true Southern
type-wavy black heir, deep blue eyes.
beautiful figure and complexion and
the whitest set Of teeth imaginable.
Her jaunty air and pretty face never
fail to attract the attention of strangers
as she rattles swiftly by in her cart,
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, but attending strictly to business.
Attention to business, indeed, is the
chief distinguishing feature OF o
Character whose strength has made
Miss Hester remarkable in many ways,
Still in her twentieth yeae and full
of life and energy, she is determined to
make her way to fortune. She has al
ready shown business qualifications
that would do credit to any man. Last

EAST BIG STONE CAP
i SUBURBAN TOWN WITH ENERGY
AND CAPITAL BEHIND IT..
,tries Projected That Will be Rapidly
Pushed to Completion.

One of the most useful adjuncts in
making Big Stone Gap a CONNER
cial metropolis, rs we'll as one OF the most
enterprsing land companies in itself in
Southwest Virginia, is the East Big Stone
Gap Land and Improvement Com
pany This company have Incorporated
several hundred acres of beautiful
town-sito land Immediately adjoining the
corporate limits of Big Stone Gap on the
east, and they propose to make suburban
town OF great Importance To the sue
ccssfut omplishment of this object,
nature has done all that could be desired.
The land itself is admirably adapted for
business and residence purposes. No
more hcalthful location can be found any
where. The South Fork of Powcll's River
flows with swift descent through the
town limits, giving all the water supply
needed for any number of manufacturing
industries, no matter how extensive. To
further this feature Of their plans, the
company have reserved ample manufac-
turing sites along the river, on both sides,
which, although it is worth thousands Of
dollars per acre, they offer to donate to
worthy manufacturing enterprises. and
give substantial aid Of other kinds also.
The S. A. & 0. X. r. runs through the
town, and is putting in extensive side
tracks, depot facilities, etc. Other rail-
roads that enter Big Stone Gap will
build into the town, besides the Belt
Railway and Dummy Line, which will
connect the suburban town closely with
all parts of the mother city. In addi-
ton to these, it is within easy reach of
all the modern city improvements, now
being put into the latter city, such rs
water works, electric lights, etc, branches
of which will be extended into this town
as occasion may demand.
This company's lands occupy central
position in the town-ste lands of the
powcll't Valley here, and, ms there is no
reasonable doubt that all the available
town-sitc lands around them will be in
demand for town purposes at an early
date, it follows that any development in
any part of the Valley will only
serve to enhance the value of these
lands The Big Stone Gap Improvement
Companys plats bound them on the west
and the north; the South Appalachian
Land Company's town-sitc lands on the
east, while on the west these lands COM
mand the entrance to Powcll's Valley by
the Wildcat Valley route, and also the
entrance to the vast iron ore deposits in
Wallcn't Ridge, near by, as well as to
as fine forests of hard woods us can he
found on thc continent.
The sites OF the Iron Furnaces and
other great industrial enterprises are
within IL few hundred yards Of this town.
site
The hundreds, and by and by the thou
sands, of workingmen employed here will
be driven by the high prices Of other real
estate near by, to seek cheap homes in
the town. 1t will be the stcadfast policy
of this company to meet the demands of
these classes, until their residence proper
ty is compactly bultup with the homes of
Industrious and independent workingmcn.
The company have made plat Of their
