very encouraging state Of affairs.

Some time ago we referred 20 the
many resources the State possessed
in the form of rich and. varied min
erals, almost iuexhaustible timber
supplies, and the advantageous To-
catious for the establishment ofsuch
Industries as would convert the
plentiful raw material into finished
products. The wonderful activity
recorded then is still going on. Our
industrial notes record almost
, weekly the transfers of whole sect
ions of land for development pur-
poses. IL seems in fact as ii thcre
could be harcllysa square foot OF land
that had not passed into the hands
Lof some land, mining or other com
/ pany for industrial uses. But so
+ rich is the State in undeveloped
wealth that there is room for still
more.
Naturally, this interest in West
Virginia is rapidly bringing near to
\ commercial centcrs points in the
4 State long almost inaccessible, and
the railroads, either now building
or IN contemplation, will aid largely
| in opening up hitherto almost UNI
known territory. The efforts in
this direction ofthe Norfolk " IVES

sections of West Virginia can not
fail ere long to prove highly remun-
erative.

Gone.

The year 1890, with all of it's
prosperity and adversely, its oppor-
tunities. its trials and its disappoint-
ments. are gone, aud will be thing
of the past, and the world will Jog
along upon new year. 1t would
be well for us to remember tho less
ons of the year just closed, and be
thankful for the blessings we have
received. Let us turn our faces to
the future, ard if we made mistakes
in 1890, let us with hopeful cour-
age, correct them in 1891, believing
that better things can be accomp-
lished during this year, than were
realized in the year just departed.
Let us remember our mistakes and
see that they are not repeated this
year. As a town we have made
mistakes just as we have individu-
ally. We have not pulled together
as we might have done, as business
men, and as people. selfishness
in business; prejudices and personal
dislikes, have swayed many. The
best selection has not been made in
all cases, for town officers, and some
interests have been neglected, and
others have come in conflict And
yet material progress has been made
Substantial public improvements
have been made, which we would
not do without under any consider.
alton. Our public schools have
made great advancement, and give
promise of better things, now that
our large and handsome new school
building is soon TO be occupied. The
social life of the town has improved;
the religious and moralinterests have
been well taxen care of The vol
nme of business done in our town
has increased, and on the whole il
has been q rather prosperous year
for Point Pleasant. Now, for the
new year, let us resolve to take no
backward step along any of these
lines, but let us work together, ak
ing good care of all these interests
and see to it that every one of them
is surely advanced to greater sue
cess and higher perfection in the
new year which opens to US more
hopefully than did 1890. Let every
one lay aside every little jealousy
and prejudice, and the spirit of in
difference, and work to man and
woman for the material, mental and
moral interests of our town, and at
the close of the year we shall have
great reason to rejoice together ov
er the successes realized.

that General Palmer's election to

without opposition, is an assured
fact. 1t says that Democrats who
have carefully canvassed the legis-
lative situation, and who are fully
acquainted with the gallant vet
Grams strength, say he will be elect
ed on the first ballot. Others, how
ever, while they are certain that
their favorite will win with ease,
think that FIVE or six ballots will be
required to end the struggle begun
last summer, when the State Demo
cratic convention placed General
Palmer in the field. They are
counting upon the parliamentary
tactics the Republicans might pur,
sue to make time and make SEM

The case OF the State against
Ward Clouston, in Wood county,
has ended very much us every one
supposed, who understood the tre-
mendous efforts that have been
made to prevent an exposure of the
facts connected with that matter.
Judge Boreman has decided that the
indictments found against him could
not be tried for various informali-
ties and quashed them on Tuesday.
No one will question Judge Bore
mans integrity in the matter, but
it is to be regretted that the law is
inadequate to enable the State to
put man on trial for such offenses,
and at least bring out the facts con
nected Herewith, especially SO since
it is understood that Clquston l.as
been very independent about the
matter, and insinuated that il he
was punished others equally guilty
