General II. a Ayers and Mr.. H. J. Ayers,
Of Big Stone Gap, returned from Ne"
York recently, where they were engaged
in the transfer of the Stone Gap Colllery
Company, General Ayers coal and coke

acres of very valuable coal land. 1ney
also o,yn.ftfe Wise Terminal Railroad.
& ,,,nninr from Merton to Glamorgan. a
distance of about five miles. work is now no"
being pushed rapidly on the cohstruc-
tion Of the first five hundred COKE ovens.
t;lamorGan is considered BY experts tne
finest location in this entire coai ilelo. i
General Ayers will continue as presloeiMl. NJ
Of the com pary. The Messrs Ayers. IN
conjunction with Mr.. Warren j. Wlllltts.
of Michigan. have purchased the prop
ertys of the Norton Coal Company. stu
ated at Norton, Va, and will at once
commence the construction OF three
hundred coke ovens. This company mas
been shipping coal for three or four
Years, but has never made any coke. Mt.
j, o. Petit has been made general man
ager of this company.
GREAT ACTIVITY.
There is great activity in the coal fields
adjacent to- Big Stone Cap, ana prices
are steadily going up.
Big Stone Gap is the center OF the field.
and all of the large companies have Of
fees here, and the general officers, except
those who are compelled to live at the
mines. have their residences here. There
is no doubt but that within the next few
wears Wise county will be a perfect bee
hive of coke ovens and coal operations
4 There are in operation in Wise county
at ri esel.t Q 1S6 coke ovens, as tolloWs:
666 at StoneSa, operated by the StCnega
Coke and Coal Company; $50 al Dorches-
coke Company, 151 at lnman and $40 at
Lenis Greek. operated by the Virginia
Iron. Coal and Coke Company.
There are in course of construction IN
this county at the present time $50 coke
ovens. Within short time a number
OF new plants will be started in this
county.
GREAT OUTPUT.
The present outptn of coke in Wise
county is about 5000 tons per week,
which is among the best made in the
world
The demand for Wise county coke is
so great that the operators are entirely
unable TO supply the demand for their
coke. This region will eventually equal.
& if not surrass, the famous Connellsriile
region in Pennsylvania.
The town of Norton will ask the next
Legislature Of Virginia. for the privilege
OF issuing bonds to the amount of $25,0O0
for the pnrpose of making general im-
provements5 in the town.

with questions about the Worlds

how to reach St. Louis, what the

will cost while they are visiting

PUEBLO is very much overdone
30 far as laborers are concerned
You can go down that city's busy
streets and see hundreds Of idle
men waiting for something to turn
up. Laborers have hocked in
there from nearby Colorado towns.
while Kansas and Nebraska have
furnished more than their share
1t is fact that Pueblo is doing
great deal of building but there is
no demand for the great influx of
laborers pouring into that town,
and many of them will have to
walk out. Stay away unless
you have money or position
promised before you go there.

ORIGIN OF wEDDINd-RING
Ancients Believed Special Nerve
Ran From Ring-finger to
the Heart.

The wedding-ring is the subject
of quaint historical facts and end
less superstitions. 1t was proba-
bly, chosen as the symbol of mar
riage more for convenience than
anything else. II is supposed to
be symbol of unbroken love and
of power, and to carry special cura-
tive virtues with it. Tue old
good-luck saying about it is, AS
your wedding wears, y ur cares
will wear away" The ancients,
Pliny among the rest, believed
that delicate nerve ran directly
from the ring finger" to the heart,
and that the ring placed on that
finger was very closely connected
with the heart In early christian
marriages the bridegroom put the
ring first on the brides thumb,
then on the first finger, then on
the second, and, last of all, on the
third, saying as he did, "ln the
name of the Father, and the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost" P" The
thumb and first two fingers repre-
Sented the Trinity, the next finger
was the one the ring was left on,
to show that, next to God, wom-
ans duty to her husband May

looks much more prosperous to us
than having the shops moved to
Pueblo. Florence would rather
see Salida retain them than have
them go to Pueblo, besides the

prices by from 20 TO 50 cents per ton.
Il has been a narrow market for
the cereals, with price changes few
and the government crop report OF
March 10 on supplies in farmers
hands still hanging over the market.
Hog products are slightly weaker
and speculation has naturally been
almost absent.
Raw cotton has continued on its
upward march, aided by bad weather
conditions, checking the interior
movement, and shorts have been
forced to cover almost continuously.
While a crop equal to last years is
more generally conceded, the fact
that exports are taken indicate
that American spinners are short OF
supplies, reversing the position OF
two years ago, when foreign manu-
iacturers held of and lost money.

But, you say, this calls for larger

"Mr. Box would prohibit home
study under fifteen years OF age.
This is Just and reasonable. The
high school student needs the benefit
derived from independent study and
halliday session should be provided
to meet this need. Before the tif-
tenth year conditions should be such
that the child can master his lessons
in the school room, and under the
guidance Of wise parents SO spend his
leisure moments that he shall not
lack for recreation or training in the
formation OF Industrious habits"
Miss Noble says that this can be
accomplished when parents cooperate
with teachers, when children do not
come to school wearied with parties
and amusements. The leisure hours,
she thinks, is doing more than school
work to ruin boys and girls.
The whole paper is an excellent
one and should have been heard by
every patron.

SCHo0LBOARD TO POSSESS,
Library Must Have incorporated
Ownership for Insurance.


The Public Library association met
yesterday. with Mrs, Gordon to dis
cuss rooom, etc., for the library.
Owing to the requirements OF insur-
auce companies the board Of educa-
ton will probably be asked to become
nominal owner OF the books purchased
Otherwise insurance will not easily
be obtainable. Three good lots have
been offered the ladies provided a IL
brary building is erected. For the
present it is probable that the books
will be put in the city hall, second
floor, il room can be arranged for
them.
The association committee has to.
day called on nearly all the contrib
utors to the old carnival fund and
asked them for their share Of what re-
mains Of that amopnt. About 5000
was unexpended in the carnival two
years ago. Only two out OF about
one hundred contributors hesitated to
give their share to the library-those
are to receive in cash the amount
coming to them il they wish. Every
body else was more than willing to
use the money for good purpose and
assigned their interest in the balance
Of the fund to the association.
