A Former Staunton Lawyer Heard From

A private letter has been received at
this Office from Mr. j. Lewis Bum
gardner, who has recently located at
Beckley, Fayette county. W. Va,
where he will resume the practice OF
law. He is much pleased with his new
location and thinks his county will
see more improvements In the next
few years than any county in the State
and says no people could be more cor
dial or hospitable in their welcome of
strangers than those of Beckley have
been to him. The location of the town
is simply ideal and its growth
has been phenomenal, and with
some municipal problems RICH thy
solved is, he believes, destined to be
one of the most delightful residence
cities in Southern West Virginia.
Mr.. Bumgardner's numerous friends
here, will be glad to hear that, in his
removal from his native city, his lines
have been cast in such pleasant places.
He has been prominent member of
the StauntOn bar, and as attorney for
the Commonwealth, was an able pros
ecutor. He is a popular and eloquent
speaker and was often heard on the
hastings and in various public assem-
blages, where he always had delighted
audiences, and was an acknowledged
leader in social circles, nor will he be
slow to make friends in his new home.
