BRIEF MENTION.
And now having spoken of the large
industries, a brief mention of the les
ser ones is but justice to the town but
the limited space allotted me for this
article, prevents my SO doing; how
ever in passing, shall pause to make
mention of the Fire Brick plant
which was destroyed some time since
Undaunted by disaster, this is being
rebuilt, and it's owners inform me will
be ready for work in months time,
employing about 40 men. And SO it is
that Buena Vista has an ever growing
pay roll. and thrifty laboring class,
many of whom are owning their own
homes; the surest guarantee of a
healthy and permanent prosperity.
There are many other points of in
terest about the place worthy of men
tion. among them the fine supply of
mountain water, the graded public
schools, the saddle manufactOry-the
celebrated Wilburn Saddle-the large
stores, the handsome depot, the hotels,
etc. And just here let me nail this
point-no town or city can be too par
ticuIar for the excellence of it's hotel
Tho hnfaI % ha
home of the travelling man, the visitor
and the stranger within the city's
gates. And it is the Impressions made
here that are the first and most last
ing-his opinion OF the town. In this,
Buena Vista has naught to fear. The
Colonade, where l spent several days,
is an excellently kept house. The at
tention is good, the rooms comfortable
and the table first class. About the
house the genial proprietor, Mr.. Jos.
T. Wren and his wife, have infused an
atmosphere of hospitabIe cordiality
that is ever appreciated by the travel
ing public. Mr.. Wren, I hear, is from
Eastern Virginia, where hospitality
and the art of entertaining is to the
manor born.
Another place where favorable or
unfavorable impressions of town are
often made Is the post office. Here the
genial j. w. Waddy and his courteous
and efficient assistant, Saml W. Tar
dy, make business with the Office not
only satisfactory but pleasant.

"Have by some surgeon Shylock on
thy charge to stop his wounds lest he
do bleed to DEATH" People can bleed
to death. The loss of blood weakens
the body. 1t must follow that gain of
blood gives the body strength The
strengthening effect of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in large
part due to it's action on the blood
making glands and the increased sup
ply of pure, rich blood it produces. 1t
Is only when the blood is improverish-
ed and impure that disease finds soil
in which to root. The ''Discovery''
purifies the blood and makes it antag-
gonistic to disease. When the body is
emaciated. the lungs are weak, and
there is obstinate lingering cough
.'Golden Medical Discovery" puts the
body on fighting footing against dis
ease, and so increases the vitality that
disease is thrown off, and physica
health perfectly and permanently re
stored. 1t has cured thousands who
were hopeless and helpless, and WHIT
had tried all other means of cure with
out avail.
