have but one evening paper. Twenty.
one months ago, the Daily West Viz

snaIistle sea In FaItmout, with an ener.
dettc, wIde.awake competitor already

IN favor Of the evening edition. we
stilIyery much prefer It and can truly
say that we are glad our competitor

tant field ready to be occupied. The
West Virsinlan feels added responsible

vsilI turn to 1t for the days news and
viii spend the evening hours reading

II A @HoME" PAPER,
Far off fields are said to look green,
but this paper feels positive that the
best picking" is in home pastures.
our ambition is TO make the West vir-
5ainian a local fayorite and to that end
Ne shall strive with might and main.
AiSiexamInatioh Of theIoeal daiIies will
reveal the fact that a very large major
ity of.the events recorded transpIre be.
tween daylight in the morning and four
O'Clock In the afternoon. The reason
for this is apparent: this period GOV.
.ers the working hours Of the majority
Of people In the various caIllngs.
INCREASE IN FORCE.
In order to cover the local field more
thoroughly than we have heretofore
done during these working hours, a
special court and industrial reporter
has been added to the West Virginian's
force. Mr.. Ioseoh Lehman. who has
been in the business Office for several
months as assistant to the business
manager, has been transferred to the
reportorfal force. Mr.. Lehman is we'll
acquainted with the city and his work
will ada much to the interest Of the pd-
per. His place In the business office
WILDE taken by Mr., A, E. Carpenter, Of
Pine Grove, Wetzsl county, who was
formerly a student at the state Nor:
NAL School here, taught three years

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The West VlrgInlan now has special
correspondents, who write regularly,
from Warrington, FalrVlew, Farming
ton, Worthlnstou, Mononeah, Watson,
Evansville and HouIt, while the First
ward correspondent takes care Of that
great and growing part Of the city
across the river This Is but a begin
ming Of what we hope to accomplish In
this matter Of local correspondence.
This viii go farther than any other
one feature toward making the West
viratnIan the favorite Marion county
paper. With the extension OF the
I street car lines, all these places and
many more can be reached within an
4 hour after the paper ls off the press.
A WoRKlNoMAN's PAPER.
: This paper realizes that about seven.
elphths Of the men Of this region earn
their living, by days work, either In
the mills, or mines, or factories, or
stores, or shops, on the farms, Or at
some equally worthy calling. These
masses Of people, who constitute the
bone and slnsw Of the land, do not
have the time nor the inclination to
read any other than an evening paper.
