Is there foundation for Charles
towns boom? Yes, and it is solid. On
every side there is iron which analyses
from 80 to GO per cent. The soil is rich
and in productiveness it has doubled
since tho war with a yearly decrease in
the quantity of fertilizers used. Several
tobacco manufacturers of Lancaster,
Pennsylvania, hold stock of the Mining
and Improvement Company and contem-
plate engaging in tho culture and man
ufacture of tobacco at Charlestown.
They assert that the soil here is adapted
to the raising of tobacco of fine quality
and this fact will no doubt lead to the
establishment of plug and smoking to-
bacco factories in the near future.
We could write many columns about
this favored locality, but few more
sentences must suffice for the present.
The list of stockholders of the Mining
and Improvement Company is an inter
csting study to the newspaper man who
is familiar with the requisites to a
genuine boom. The list is made up of
capitalists from Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and other
Southern and Eastern States and the
Dominion Of Canada. So Charlestown
has advertising agents in nearly every
State in the Union, as we'll as in other
countries, and they arc not idle. Letters
of inquiry by every mail prove that
these stockholders arc talking the adj
vantages and resources of the place.
! Advertising pays, and Charlcstown will
reap golden harvest from it.

CHARLESTOWN.
The Progress Made by This

Charlcstown was founded by Charles
