Mr.. Grasty Locates at Staunton.
The fact that Thomas p. Grasty, the
most noted industrial writer in Virginia,
whose contributions to the Mdmstfdc
tatrers' Record have done more for Vir-
ginia than the individual efforts of any
one n1an-the fact that he has decided
to make Staunton his home is highly
significant. In a conversation with the
editor of the VALLEY VIRGINIAN, Mr..
Grasty stated that he had come to
Staunton, not alone because it was SO
charming place of residence. but be-
cause it was SO accessible to Clifton
Forge and other rapidly developing
points in the great Appalachian iron
region. Mr.. NJ. Erskine Miller, however,
deserves the credit for locating the
power behind the throne" of the Mans
qtfacturers' Record at Staunton, and in
this as in other respects he has lent a
helping hand to the progress of the
State.

A Big Time for Covington. May 25th,
W 26th and 9th.

1t was the prediction of the writer OF
these lines a dozen years ago, that Gov
ington would some day be a busting,
busy, prosperous and populous indus
trial city. We were led to this conclu-
sion by the beautiful location of the
town site; the presence of ample water
power flowing by it's limits. and it's ac-
feasibility to iron ore, limestone, coal
and timber. This prediction was made
after spending ten days travelling up
and down the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway, between Hawks Nest and Fer
rol. looking into and writing up the ma>
terial resources of the district, as they
appeared to superficial observation. 1t
seems that the prediction then made is
about to be realized
Through the efforts of the Covington
Improvement Company, of which B. F.
Eagle, IT., is General Manager, a
Blast Furnace, 1875 tons capacity, is now
being constructed. The foundations are
laid and forty car loads of building ma
terial on the ground for the furnace,
which it is expected will be in blast by
October 18th, 1891.
A Rolling Mill was contracted for last
Saturday, which will employ from 1875
to 40 hands.
Machine Shops and Foundry to cost
$4,000 have been secured-dimension
ITO by 80 eet-arrangements for their
construction having been made several
weeks ago.
A Patent Roller Process Flour Mill is
now in process of construction with ca
pacity of fifty barrels per day.
One of the most complete brick plants
in the State is now in successful opera
ton, turning out over 10000 superior
brick per day. The large planning mill
and lumber yards of E. w. Nettleton are
busy from sun up till sun down, in furn-
ishing lumber for building purposes.
