More About the New County.


The Posi- is glaa TO note the fact
that considerable issterest' has mani
tested itself among tie people in the
boundary as laid out in its recent ar
ticle on the subject of the formation
of new county, with Big Stone
Gap as the county seat.
Below is given boundary line for
the new county, as suggested by Mr..
j. P. Wolfe, which is slightly
changed from that given in the Posi-
first article. Mr.. Wolfe is, no doubt,
as we'll posted in regard to the geo
graphical location Of this section as
any man living in it, and at the close
of his suggested lines he gives his
reasons for the changes made:
beginning at Camp Rock, on top OF
Powell mountain, and OH the Scott
county line, thence straight line to the
top Of High Knob; thence with the main
top Of the mountain northwest course
to Little Stone Gap; thence Il straight
line to the mouth of Beings Branch, and
with the ncanders of Powell's river to a
| point opposite the end OF Rogers Ridge.
and with the top Of said mountain TO the
Kentucky lie; thence with the said line
westwardl- to a point opposite Green
| Hill i'm Lee county: thence suuthward'y
including Yocum Station and Stic&ley-
Vile to the top Of PowelPs mountain OH
| the Scott county line, and with the top
! of said mountain and said line castwardlv
to the Kane Gap; Themes a southcastward-
! ly course TO the head Of the Devils Race
Path, including Dutheld; thence due cast
to Stock creek ana up said creek With
mcanders to it's fork thence up the main
Stock creek to It's head Oh the county
| line between Wise and Scott, thence With
the top of Powell's mountain and said line
castwardly to the beginning.
"Thc above territory will cover COG
square miles and leave the other counties
in good shape. Pennington Gap could
not be included without doing injustice
to Lee county. The proposed county
would be in better shape to include Pat
louisville, but it would greatly disigure

could he taken in ON the south side ofPow.
elI's mountain as far east as Patrick Ha-
CAMS and still leave enough territory tOl
that county.
"The proposed county would lose severa
important places in this change, but We
would hold the following; Upper ant

Station and Stickleyville in Lee county
and Dufficld in Scott county, and Biz

the Formations of new county meets with
nv approval. l have long thought the
boundary You described should be formed

the city of Big Stone Gap long before the
city Of Big Stone Gap was formed and
before any railways were talked of. Ny
self and many others have talked OF this
same boundary and believe we voted on
il once since the late war, but were de-
feated. We should at once proceed to get
this very important measure before the
people. Chs Improvement in our section
would help to build w this surrounding

What About It?

w ELI, gentlemen OF Wise, what
have you to say in regard to the cui-
.nrc of tobacco in this region so
naturally adapted to this industry?
The Posi- has, several times, brought
the matter to your notice, and has
published several articles on the sub
ject from men who are recognized
authority.
Now, while this is addressed to the
peoplc.of Wise, still it is more strictly
intended for the citizens of Big Stone
Gap. Everything that is accomp-
lishetl must have bcginning-a
start, and to have a start, it is neces-
sarv to have some one to start it.
Have you, as business man OF
Big Stone Gap, ever given this sub
;ect moments thought? Has it
ever occurred to YOU what wonder
full addition to the business OF the
town it would be to have as many as.
say one hundred farmers within a
radius OF twenty miles around us,
producing an average of two acres OF
tobacco each, with warehouse cstab-
lishcl here! This can all be done
with but little effort.
Let an organization be formed
AMONG the business men of the town,
and sct IN motion this industry that
will be worth many thousands OF
dollars to the farmers surrounding
the place, and give new life to the
bus;ness Of the town. Then, IN a
short while. we will have tobacco
warehouses. factories, etc, that Will
add to our wealth and growth III
various ways. Any quantity OF to-
bacco seed can be procured by applica-
ton to sIcssrs. w. w. Nickels & Co..
Of this place, and arrangements OF q
liberal nature can be made with any
of the large land companies tor lano
on which to raise the crop.
If an organization can be affected
among the business men OF the town
looking to the introduction and en-
eouragcmcnt of this industry, lei
them. ro at it in business-like way
and the Posr suggests that the orga
uization, or tobacco association. az
it might be termed, employ al
experienced tobacco-raiser to &C
through the country and instruct oul
farmers as to the proper manner o.
cultivating the crop. \ plan OF shl:
kind would cost but little and would
be s sure way of getting the people
started right.
Come, whoop up, some OF you
business men of the place; call 9
meeting at City Hall one night next
week and see what can be done.
