Why Not.

Ii you must SulMlSS something
about person, why not surmise
something good. 1t costs no more
money or mental effort. If you must
set something going abouta business
man would it not be just as easy to
start something that might help him
as something that tends to injure?
Should business man become
cramped would it not be as easy to
say his experience and good business
sense will pull him through as to say
he is bound to fail?
If one of your neighbors or
town men should aspire to some
position would it not be better to
give him kind word to the stranger
and help boost him than try to hold
him down?
Does it cost any more to make
kindly remark than it does to say
an unkind thing? Do you ever
think how much harm a thoughtless
suspicious remark may do man
who may be in present hard luck
but who has done you friendly
turn or two in the days that are
gomez
What if man may have some
disagreeable traits or even some
real vicious ones, did you never
think that there may be some good
side to his make up that has ten
dency to soften the effect of the
bad2 Why not seek out that good
side of his character and speak of
that?
Strong operators in this field have
been assailed by the slanderous
tongue and the whole field injured
thereby. The men assailed were
not hurt because they were strong
enough financially to be indifferent,
but the general reputation of the
field has been affected.
Why are we all so much more
ready to believe and circulate a
damaging report than favorable
one1 Is it because of petty jeal-
ousies or is it because of the lurking
devil that seems to find a home in |
most heartsr
Life is short and our years for
doing good and making men fell
good and enjoy life better are few.
When you are tempted to say evil
of any one stop and think if you
cannot recall some kindness he has
done to some one if not to you and
speak of that and let the evil
thought go unspoken. Would We
not have a much better world if all
would act on that principlel

Will Sing Their Jubilee.

There seems To be an almost alb
solate certainty that the scene of the
rapid industrial development which
West Virginia has been enjoying
for the past dozen years is to be
transferred from the central and
eastern sections of the State to the
southern and western portions where
unlimited resources and unequalled
advantages ale at the command of
enterprlsing capitalists and opera
tors of the country. Especially are
the counties of Wayne, Lincoln,
Logan and Mcdowell to enjoy an
era of unparalleled prosperity during
the next decade, which promises to
eclipse anything ever witnessed IN
the history of the State. Particu-
larly is this to be true in Logan and
Mingo counties, each of which are
to see opened up hundreds of thous-
ands Of acres of their rich mineral
and timber lands by the advent Of
new lines Of railroad which are al
ready In course of construction or
on which work will begin by mid.
summer. Coal mines which will
employ thousands of men in the
aggregate are already being opened,
while many more are in contempla-
ton, on which work will begin i'm
the near future, WI lie scores of i'm
mense lumber plants are TO be in
stalled anil the hitherto unbroken
forests of these counties all of which
assure period of phenomenal devel-
opment which will encourage other
lines of enterprise which will not
cease until the southwestern port on
OF the State will assure one of the
wealthiest sections in the entire
country.
Truly the few local men who
possessed the splendid foresight
which led them to invest their entire
holdings at home are to be conyratu-
lated upon their good fortune which
certainly speedily awaits them.
