In the Year Of Our Lord; 1896,
with the general religious awakening
all over this State, men who profess
TO be followers of the meek and lowly
Lamb Of God, are already beginning
to talk and vie with each other a bout

saw mills each make on an average
ten thousand feet of lumber Il dav;
many Of them are small portable mills
and do not run the year round, and
many others make only slaves and
ties. But West Virginia makes and
ships out Of the State annually over
two hundred million feet of hard wood
lumber, counting ties, slaves and
logs, which are exported, and at the
lowest estimate this brings into the
State Fix million dollars annually.
This does not include probably ST.
OOO,O0 worth Of timber that goes out
of the different small streams to large
mills on the Ohio river.
1t is estimated that III 1896 West
Virginia will sell over $4,000, 600
worth Of lumber, slaves and ties.
The two largest mills in the State are
Senator Camden's, on the Gauley, in
Webster county, and the Alexander
Lumber Company's at Alexander, in
UpshIr county. They employ about
300 men each, cut over 10000 feet Il
day, and run nearly the year round.
