KENOVA, w. VA.

"All things come to him who knows
how to wait" WAS iavorite saving with
the great Napoleon, and it is plain that
someone in rKenova has the spirit of
such generalship thoroughly implanted
in his composition.
Such tactics will win even against
time, which is said to wait for no man,
and the true philosophy of business is
embraced in this Napoleonic epigram
since the implication exists that when
the individual has waited to the limit
of his prescience then he acts and that
so vigorously and with such brilliancy
and dash as to command the admiration
of the world, or at least that part of it
coming within the sweep Of his in
fuence.
Kenova has waited for two years with
the rest of US, but it recognizes now as
the time for action and in the broadsiIe
found on page 10 of this issue of THE
TIMES is proclaimed the fact of its OK
istence, why it lives and how it expec is
to keep abreast of this rushing age.
The fact of Removals coming to tho
front in this Ohio Extension E iition
will give it great prominence but not
greater than it deserves.

.soopE.OF THIS ISSUE.

Great subjects demand distinguished
considerations. and when we began the
compilation of the material for this
issue, while fully approaching the ne
cessities, yet we hardly realized the ex-
tent to which we would be led by our
own advancing thought. Fer instance,
in following the Norfolk and Western
to its logical conclusion as Western
connection, @e .drifted naturally to
Chicago through the affiliations of that
railway discovered at Columbus. Thus
is explained tho appearance of the two
splendid page announcements of the

OF the prominent business interests from
Roanoke 10 Kenova and a few OF those
further on. Our actual scope, however,
embraces only that territory lying on

Western Railway, and Including the
towns of Blueheld, Graham, Pocahontas,
the various coal interests in the Flat
Top region, those OF the Kenova coal
field, and Kenova itself, but as the
major includes the minor, we find our
selves again extending the scope to the
,urthest limits of the Norfolk and West

to other conquests and other work
OF this nature which may embrace those
points not legitimately included in this

THE roCAHoNFAs GOAL COMPANY

THE FOCAHONTAs GOAL COMPANY.
THE TIMES takes pleasure in referring
particularly to the scope and achieve
ments of the Pooahontas Coal Company.
1t is primarily the sales agent for the
coal operators of the Norfolk and West
ern system. Markets are as necessary
as source of supply, The Pocahontas
Coal Company finds the markets for Vir-
GINA Goals. 1t has introduced Poca-
hoGtss Flat Top Goals into the markets
Of the country in the face of the closest
competition, and proved its great supe-
riority as steam coal over all compel
ttors.
Now with the completion of the Ohio
Extension the great West is open as a
consumer, .and the Pocahontas Company
will enter boldly in the interest of the
great coal field which it represents.
The coal measures Of the Norfolk and
Western system are the most wonderful
tituminous deposits Of the world and
the Pocahontas Coal Company is their
especial champion.

WHAT THE TIMES HAS DONE.


With the completion of this edition
THE TIMES marks another red letter in
its calendar. It is with pardonable
pride that we point to our successes in
the production of special issues.
The first attempt in this direction
was the production of a sixteen-page
Issue tocelebrate the N Getting of the
real estate convention in January,
1894. 1T was success.
1t was followed by hotel edition in
May Of the same year. The numerous
and beautiful railroad hotels and
summer resorts of South west Virginia
have never been more graphically set
forth than in that beautifully illustrated
and we'll written production.
In the -Southside Virginia edition
which followed the attempt was made
to show the adaptability Of the territory
along the main line of Southwest Vir-
ginia for sheep husbandry, and the hun
dreds of responses thereto bore ample
testimony that the edition reached the
mark. The substance Of the edition
was .afterward reproduced in pamphlet
form by the Norfolk and Western Rail
road Company. Here let US bear testi-
mony TO the staunch and liberal support
which has been at all times extended to
our efforts by Vice President Eddy, in
advertising the resources of the country
tributary to the Norfolk and Western
The anniversary edition of TIE TIMES,
published in September, 1891, was our
most ambitious attempt. A twenty-four
page edition. published in addition to
our regular issues, was an undertaking
to tax every energy, but it was success
fully accomplished. 1t was principally
devoted to Roanoke, and it hit the mark.
Several other issues of minor import.
aBee bring us up to the present attempt.
We will let it speak for itself.

THE soUFHwEsTERN ALLIANCE.

Itis becoming for IKE TIMES to set
forth the natural interdependence and
alliance between Roanoke, Sou west
Virginia AMI the coal fields of the Ohio
Extension.
Without the development of the Poca-
hontas Flat.top coal measures, Roam.
oke would have scarcely an excuse for
existence. The town was founded in
the thorough belief of it's projectors
that the mineral resources Of Sout west
Virginia would center liz city whose
manufacturing and commercial import
anoe would grow with the development
Of those resources. The forecast has
proven true.
AS mines have been opened and fur
naces erected Roanoke has grown. The
production of upwards of 5000, 600 tons
of coal in 1892 has had sure reflection
in Roanoke. The principal supplies of
the coal field are drawn from the dob
bling houses of Roanoke. Not few of
the leading collieries are operated by
Roanoke men and Roanoke capital.
Not o. colliery is opened, not forest
cut, not rail laid, not a mandatory
established in all this great Southwest
counteErthat Roanoke Is not benefited.
Therefore does Roanoke rejoice at the
development of evory enterprise tetwoen

ham. We are all branches of ono great
trunk. May it live long and prosper.
LUMBEE AND TANNING INTERESTS.
The vast virgin territory, for the first
time rendered accessible through the
com oletioE of the Ohio Extension, is not
only noted for its inexhausSible mineral
resources, but also for tho great mass of
timber, which may be used for lumber
ing purposes, and the large acreage con-
timing that galuable commodity known
as tanbark.
When we pause to reflect upon the in
tense vitality OF the development now
in forco through out the United States,
but more especially in thet territory
Immediately tributary to the Ohio ex-
tension and then draw dedustion
from the conditions as they exist,
making a proper distribution of in
forests, we are forced to the conclusion
that the lumber interest is one of the
greatest and, indeed, second only to coal
in it's relation to commerce, m anufac.
ture and the every day life of COM
munities.
1t is true that structural iron enters
largely into the con tractors estimates
whore at one time lumber occupied the
field, but this has only served to awaken

the lumber merchant to renewed encrgy
and greater skill in tho preparation OF
his prod uct and given to the aranttect o
new fold for hi, labors in the arrange
ment of interior decorations and orna-
mental exteriors which can only be
economically constructed OF wood.
So we see that the Immense poplar
forest of the territory tributary to the
Ohio Extension will enter largely into
business estimates from henceforth, and
as foreshadowed by our correspondent
who writes specially upon this subject
on the ninth page of this issue. the day
is not far distant when this really
beautiful wood will command much
higher price The same is true Of other
woods susceptible of taking on higher
order of development, many Of which
are indigenous to the region known as
Ohio Extension territory.
Tho Important interest of tanning or
the marketing of the bark also deserves
ashare of our attention o, inasmuch as here
again is presented most fruitful source
of money getting, the previous imprac-
ticability Of which has been eliminated
by the completion of the Norfolk and
Western Ohio Extension.
1t is not necessary for US to go into
further detail on this subject beyond
saying that any one desiring additional
information can gain some by consult
ing the news and advertising columns
Of this issue Of THE TIMES.
