NEW TOWN.
Fa!rmont like the other towns that
are participating in the great develop
mcnt movement, has found it necessary
to have more room to grow on. The
best evidence OF tho truth OF this ia that
company has recently organized and
incorporated and laid of three hun.
dred acre addition TO the town in order
that the demand may DO supplied, An.
other evidence OF the substantial char
acter OF the demand Is that the COM
pany hasn't any stock to sell. Such
men as ex-senator Camden, Governor
Fleming, Cashier Joseph L. Sands, OF
the First National Bank, President W.
S. Raymond, OF the Peoples Bank,
Manager J. +. Watson, of the Montana
Coal Company, Secretary OF State Will
lam A. Ohley, j. NJ. Hartley, Vice Pres
ident OF the First National Bank, Mayor
Thos. W. Fleming, G. L. Smith, editor
of the Hdtr, and .. S. Mckinney, Di-
rector OF the Peoples Bank, comprise
the directory OF the company, and they
are men, all OF them, who have Il firm
faith in the great future OF West Nir-
ginia in general and OF this region in
particular.
To illustrate to the reader the rapid
rate at which this region is grow
ing, let Inc state that the output OF coal
and coke from Fairmont collieries from
100000 tons OF coal in 1857 to 797, 900
tons in 1890; from 81 1000 tons OF coke in
1887 to 223, 5000 tons in 1890. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that by reason OF its
central location, between the eastern
and western coal and coke markets, and
mcnts that have been made, the next
five years will see almost the whole OF
this great Upper Monongahela coal and
coke field under operation.
As TO MANUFACTURES.
But on coal and coke the possibilities
OF the future do not wholly rest. Equal

tween the like ores of the northwest
and the extensive ore beds OF south

LIFE


Gold glow of noon, and gloom OF utter night:
Bleak, bitter days Of winter storm and
stress
And bland, bright hours of summer bloom
and light;
A voice that speaks strange secrets mona
may guess;
An anxious questioning without reply,
A wind that comes and goes-a song, sigh!
A dim, mysterious dusk of ancient trees
That ever stir with wild and wandering
tone
OF laughter, strife, old pains and prophecies;
Deep breath of bliss, heart throb, and an
guished moan;
A narrow streak of sunlit path between;
A birds brief note, high, clear and keen!
A message written in the shifting sands,
Cloud forms that drift athwart the twi-
light CLEANS,
Stray waits far blown from unirnagine
lands;
Faces that laugh or leer in fevered dreams;
Youth, flushed with fame of longing an de-
sire:
Gaunt age, chill-fngered. crouching by the
fire.
Isit masque of mingled tears ami mirth--
A shallow scene, a painted puppet.play,
Made for the gods who sit above the earth
And doze away the yesrsH All, who SHAH
say,
The fruit grows ripe and falls men come
and go;
The end is death and silence this we know.
