AZ This time there is q crying demand
here for more dwelling houses. There ie
not & comfortable house in the place but
What is occupied, and more would be
rented If they could be had. Many lot
owners living nj . distance. are making q
great mistake by not improving theii
property here While their lots are lay
ing lido, if they wore improved by the
erection thereon OF nice comfortable
dwellings, they would be the source
of d handsome rental income Instead
Of yearly drain for taxes. In the Ian
guage Of the Bristo! Courier, 'scome on
back" boys; while other towns tottered
and shook and went to pieces from the
effect Of the recent great financial cyclone
Big Stone Gap has stood the shock with
out even crack or break in her walls OF
iron, coal and timber.
The Posg will try to furnish aext week
list Of Improvements, buildings, indus
tries, ETC.. that has been put in here DUR
ing the past year, in order to show the
public Che true state of a.sairs.
