There are men in this country
mean enough to stop their paper for
some fancied grievance and then
sneak around and borrow it of a
neighbor or loaf around the stores
and read someone else's paper. The
man that does this has a soul in him
SO small that it will probably never
be found on the last Great Day and
he will thus escape the quarters
specially prepared for him.

One of our business men who has
recently returned from an extended
western trip said that he had seen
no place where young men had bet
ter opportunities for success than
right here in West Virginia. He
said that to an outside observer all
places in this one particular seemed
much the same-that in each one
were the crowds of successful men
arrayed in strong contrast, against
the crowds of those unsuccessful.
1t is fact that we need to remem-
Der that success depends much more
on the man than on his surround
ings. Perhaps it would be better
to say that the successful man
knows how to find the proper sur
roundings and all men resemble
water in their accomplishment of
seeking their proper level. When
man cries out against fate and
protests that circumstances and not
himself are responsible for his failure
it is sure indication of his own
weakness. Strong men create cir
cumstances.

WHY Nor INVEST AT HoME?-It
makes us very tired to see men of
means in this town running off to
neighboring towns to invest in
"booms," drawings" and other lot
tery-like concerns, and still want to
be classed in the front rank of pub
lie spirited citizens who always want
to lead in every new enterprise and
be recognized as martyrs in the
onward march. And we feel sorry
for them when these investments
have turned out badly for our
friends, which has been the case in
almost every instance, and many of
them who have invested their money
away from home could not now re
alize half the price they paid for
their lands. OF course, Point Pleas
ant is a slow place, and always will
be while her capitalists go off to the
West and the South to invest the
money that should be turning the
wheels of progress right here at
home. We denounce it as shame,
and call for halt. Let our friends
who are so anxious to get rich and
have money to invest, start "build-
ing boom" right here at home.
There is just as much room for one,
and we believe it will pay just as
well here as it does elsewhere.
Everybody knows the demand for
homes in Point Pleasant, and what
profit there is in building and sell
ing, and in houses to rent. Here,
then, would be no fear of not real
izing on your investment. Away
from home you lose your money
and your profits by being "man-
aged out"
