A New County Wanted.

The question of the formation of new
county with Big Stone Gap as its county
seat, has been occupying the minds of
our thoughtful citizens for some time'
and at the meeting Of the Commercial
Club Monday evening committee was
Amounted to examine into and agitatc
the subject.
The facts of the matter arc these:
In Big Stone Gap and the section nat
ura,iv tributary to it, say for radius OF
ten or fifteen miles, there have been
moro real estate transfers than
there have been in the remainder of
Wise, or Lee or Scott county, and very
likely more than in all combined. And
we cannot have here even Hastings
court. or branch record Office until we
have attained population of 5000 peo-
pie. A very large proportion OF the
legal business originates here and our
lawyers and business men. have more fire.
quent occasion TO go to the court house
and County Clerks office than have
those of any other section of the three
counties. AS we grow, this business
will more than keep pace, and the IN
convenience become matter OF SERIOUS
concern. 1t now requires hard ride OF
eighteen hours to reach Gladevillc, and
even when the railroad is completed anC
trains arc running, there will still re-
main horseback or wagon ride of five
miles from the nearest station. If the
court house should, hereafter, be remov-
cd to Tacoma, there still would be OBJ
jcctions for various reasons. Citizens o.
Lee county, who live within three mile:
Of Big Stone Gap, have to ride some
twenty-five miles to reach their county
seat, Jonesvlle, and some Scott count,
people have to 90 about as far to react
Estillvillc, which is no inconsiderahlI
Inconvenience Lee county, for instance
is bv the necessity of the situation, be
ing valley between the Cumberland
mountains and Waldcn's Ridge, narrow
county, but it need not be such extreme
length. extending rs it does, from Big
Stone Gap to Cumberland Gap. nearly
40 miles. If the citizens of Kansas
or any Other prairie State, had only the
ton counties instead of the one hundred
odd we have in Virginia, they would
still be enabled to reach their county
seats more easily than we do. There
roads arc chcaply and quickly built and
communication is rapid here mountains
and rivers form natural barriers, difficult
to Surmount.
The citizens of the upper end of Lee
county are in favor of this now county
and as our people as a body took nc
part in the recent Wise county conr,
house removal, it is bclived the citizens
or Wise will aid us. Our own population
is unanimous, and the Scott county people
being friendly, will assurcdly be with Il;

Gently washed and ironed at Big Stone Gap,
and there is an opportunity for a
good laundry TO make fortune. Wash
erwomen are as independent and as I'M
reliable as if they had made millions. 1t would
be well to import fresh supply of them or get
first class laundry established.

pay good dividends now, and still larger later
