Friday, January 2, 1891.

The bondholdcrs and directors of the
Big Stone Gap Improvement Company
have been requested TO meet at Bristol
January L but it is likely the meeting will
be adjourned to New York. 1t has hith-
erto been found impossible 10 secure a
good attendance at Bristol; and as the
meeting is to be al important one, full
representation is desired. Among the
matters to be considered is the question
Of consolidating all the leading land COM
panies and other interests of Big Stone
Gan under one management: and 1t is
hoped definite plan will be formulated
for presentation to the parties concerned,
looking TO this end Should this plan be
carried out and capable management be
secured. it would result in vast improve
ment OF the situation here. The reasons
in favor of the movement are so apparent
and So strong that they need no elabora-
ton; and if the parties in interest have
half the business sagacity attributed to
them, they will promptly come to an agree
mcnt. 1t would enhance the value Of the
property pooled incalculablc; and, what is
hardly less important, secure concentra-
tion and harmony of faction.

ing spaces, parks and pleasure grounds,
and it is lesson which We should consid-
CIR while We are in our infancy and can ar
range these things more easily than
at any time later, 1t is pity, then, that
the large island, between plats three and
FIVE, has been disfgured by the location
thereon, Of the Electric Light plant, and
that there is talk Of placing there planning
mills or any other kind Of industry. All
these things should 60 up the valley where
they belong and where their smoke and
noise will not he nuisance to the bust
ness and residence community. Any one
who has lived in such soft coal cities as
Louisville and Cincinnati, where residcn-
ccs and black kc-bclching factories
arc in the same block, will wish to aeoid
repetition of such an experience. Let
US not have in the central part of our city
an atmosphere that one can cut into black
chunks with cheese knife. This island
is large enough. when the old channels
and ruts are filled with Stag from our fur
naccs, for baseball or a football
grounds, or better still for our Fairmont
park for the public good, or, when our
civilization shall lie high enough to war
rant it, for er-gardcn with high
class of orchestral music, such as arc the
delight of the Tyrol, Switzerland, Ger
many and Austria; but the dedication OF
it by the Improvement Company to the
general health and happiness Of our pco-
pie, will forever confirm its usefulness.
In addition to all this We fortunately
can always use more or less Of the sides OF
Stone. Mountain and Wallcn's Ridge for
the public pleasure, in the way of cxcur-
sions, hunting, botanizing and gcolizing'
and the Improvement Company to make
them available for riding and driving
should and perhaps will, this winter,
while such work can he done easily and
chcaply, make surveys for winding and
zig-zag roads that shall finally reach the
top of our mountains, where so many fine
outlooks can be had These roads would
be of easy grades, almost always delight
fully shaded, and constant source of
pleasure. A few road members scattered
here and there (and living in rustic cot
tagcs along the roadside as in the Alps,)
could easily keep them well drained and
in such good repair that they could be
used during the entire winter.
The directors Of the improvement Com
PAW know the commercial value of beauty
and should make the best of it.

Streets and Parks.

The proportion Of street area to that oil
the whole city is in Paris $3.50, Boston
1865, Berlin 2G90, Philadelphia 1870, New
York 29@S, Vienna 1879, and Washington
SAX. When one compares two such beau
tiful cities as Paris and Washington, with
the minimum and maximum proportions
ii IL evident that beauty is dependent upon
something besides streets. At Big Stone
Gap it will be our b0ulevards along each
side of our two rivers, the almost constant
succession along them of laurel, rhododen-
dron, hemlock, holly and noble forest
trees, and best Of all our parks. An idea
OF what these last will be, may be had il

But if, because of mean, misery policy
on the part of our municipal government
it is allowed to become unhealthy, it will
not recover from the reputation during
the life of any adult citizen. All its adj

1891,

The new year is a period for retrospect
aud reform; and it is also q time for lay
ing plans for the future and summoning
resources to execute them. The past,
with its mistakes and follics, should be
pondercd over only so long az is necessary
to appreciate their Importance and to
avoid their repetition. In the words of
the German poet "it comes not back
again." unless We bring it back by the
same weakness, and the same errors which
preciptated previous disasters. Man has
eyes in front that he may look forward not
behind, and his limbs arc adjustcd for
combating and overcoming future OBJ
structions, not those in the rear. 1t was
never intended that we walk backwards.
All aspiration and hope arc for the future.
So, at this relay station, where "the fates
change horses" let us at Big Stone Gap
summon our best resolutions and nerve
ourselves for a worthy race both in the
moral and physical world.
The new year will doubtless witness
important changes iii our situation. For
a time at least it will be u crisis in the
life OF our city. Important plans are
pending and their solution will be deter
mined within twelve months. Upon them
depends much OF our early progress and
development; and it may be added, the
issue for good or evil rests greatly with
ourselves. If we act with union and
energy; if We have u fierce spirit of ag-
erosion and conquest burning within US,
its influence upon others may turn the
scale in our favor when ii might have
gone against US and, like many another
community, we may fix our fate for Veto
ry or disaster, for wealth or poverty, for
glory or shame. Man is in great
measure the architect of his own fortune.
The fault is in himself and not in his stars
ii he remain the mere creature of circum-
stanccs-the drifting atom, driven hither
and thithcr by the conditions around him.
1t is therefore important that We under
stand ourselves and make searching in
Quiry into our motives and aims.
SO far as outward conditions so, they
are all in our favor. Nature has given US
every opportunity for carving from those
hills glorious destiny. Most of us are
yet Young or at the meridian OF manhood.
No crushing disasters have overwhelmed
our hope and no whitening sorrow has
blighted our ambition. Think of the
thousands whose hearts have been broken
on the wheel within thc past twelve
months; who are doomed to endure "thc
bitter little" Of life that remains, trcading
the drcary walks Of suffering, nursing the
memories of buried hopes and pleasures
whose sole business now is to brood amid
wrecks Of shattered aspirations, looking
to the grave only for solacc and refuge.
Under far more favoring conditions we
enter the threshold of 1891. Let US hope
and resolve that whatever calamtics it
may bring, We shall have the assurance
that we have tried to do our duty both
to ourselves and 10 the dear ones DEEPEN
dent upon us, and that whatever pros
perity it may bring, we may utilize for
what is seefiily and good and great.
