ly, that one short leg is necessary
to get around Pomeroy with any
degree of facility. That located, as
the city is, upon margin of the
river, reaching up over precipitous
escarpments and extending out
over high and rugged hills, SO
steep, pedestrianism is only made
easy by discrepancy inithe length
of limbs. There isn't enough level
ground in the city to accommodate
circus tent, so to speak, and it is
current joke, that the reason a
menagerie never visits the town is
the absence of level ground enough
on which to pitch circus tent.
To a new conner the appearance
of the place gives an idea that
the oity might at some former
day have been located alto
gether on the top of the hills
and by some oonvulsion of nature,
it might have slid just over and
down. But the unevens surface,
high, steep and rugged rock ribbed
hills, have been the cause of the
building up hers, great thriving,
industrial city, of hardy, restless
and ambitious men, all in dead
earnest. Across creeks and gulohes
and along up theI steeps, are built
handsome residences, shapely
school houses and elegant churches,
with tall cleaning spires, in many
seemingly unapproaohable places,
you see here and there long stair
cases, reaching from streets below
to houses above, all COMFORTING
with the capitol CITY and entrepot
OF the great county of Meigs.
Pomeroy is the industrial bee
hive of all the surrounding country.
From the top of these high endur-
ing hills you look kown on the
great throbbing heart Of. the city,
with it's ponderbus rolling mills
and machine shops and sfoundries,
carriage and furniture factories,
coal and salt works, breweries, cleo
trio light and power houses, ice
plants, and tho Moredock Milling
Company's Great FIGURING Mills.
Everything betokens the industry
of the city. The hillsides every
where are scanned with a wealth of
coal; everywhere you see dark and
dank tunnels gaping out on the
open world, upon the streets and
highways; and numbering wagons
going hither and thither with tink-
ling bells, drawing coal, iron, furni-
ture, timber, salt, products of mill.
shop and farm. OF the industries
of the city it is the purpose of this
article to treat of one only.
