Hello, Central

How much longer must Point
Pleasant wait for telephone
service over the city? Now we
would like to have some one snswer
this question for us. We are over
one hundred years old. Our cor
poration as a town has even passed
its own mile stone, been town
ever since the reign of Napoleon l,
away back near the battle of Lex
ington in Revolutionary war times,
ever since the Sandwich Islands
were discovered by Captain Cook,
and almost time immemorial, and
yet we haven't a telephone!! Now
how much longer must we wait
1t is not the duty of the editor or
publisher of newspaper nor has
he the authority to look after these
enterprises and modern convent
ences and secure their location in
our midst, but it is the duty of
every enterprising public spirited
newspaper exponent to advocate
everything that is for the general
good of the people, and to call the
attention of the people to the mani
fold advantages and the urgent and
imperative necessity of securing for
a town those modern devices and
inventions that are used by every
body in every branch of business.
How must our young progressive
business men that are every day
doing all in their power to further
the interests of the town feel, when
a stranger drops in and kindly asks
permission to use the telephone a
few minutes
Now Mr.. Aldermen or Council
men we make one last appeal to
you in the name of all that is good,
be charitable with us in this one re-
quest and let us have telephone
exchange if we have to give a COM
pany permission to erect their poles
in the middle of the streets.

From the New York Sun of yes
terday we clip this paragraph, along
the line of our remarks in our last
issue as to the probability of an in
crease of immigration to the South
this spring:
From several of our Nebraska
contemporaries we learn that relief
sent there from the Southern States
has already given an impetus to a
Southward movement among those
of the Nebraska farmers who have
so many times suffered from bad
crops. There is news that when
the spring opens thousands of them
will leave the Blackwater country.
West Virginia should take some
pains to present her claims for
portion of these industrious people.
They should be informed that even
a partial failure of all crops at one
time in this State was never known;
that we have vast areas of farming
lands which can be bought without
expending a fortune on a single
farm; that we have thousands of
acres of timber lands which can be
paid for by marketing the timber
on it; that we have good roads-as
the term is generally understood;
good schools, good churches, and
good society, and everything else to
make an industrious people pros
