exchange among the list of papers it ro-
ceived the present week. The new paper
is the Big Stone Gap Posi-, published at
Big Stone Gap, Wise county, Virginia,
and bearing the date Of the 9Th inst. The
editor and manager of the new paper is

perience in the newspaper business; and,

skill and ability, the RerieW has no hesi-

who was formerly "dealcr in the earth
in broken doses, will ''make his mark"

is to make his. paper distinctively a local
/ Journal, devoted TO the interests of the
young town in which it is located and the
section of country directly tributary to it.
This is In the line Of judicious journalism.
Seven thousand copies of the frat number
Of the paper were printed; so that is evil
dent that Mr.. Harris means to have
|large circle OF readers. politically the
paper will pursue strictly an Independents
course" AS the paper contains eleven
columns OF advertising matter, mostly Of
a local description, all Of which is con-
tracted for by the year, it is evident that

that the paper shall be q success from the
