BLUEF|ELD AND
OUR COAL PRO-
DuCIAG REGION


Draw line around three or four
counties In Southern West Virginia.
two or three I'M Eeastern Kentucky
and two in Southern West Virginia.
and you have defined an area of
country in which has set in de-
velopment exceeding any yet seen
south OF the Ohio river. II is one
that will exercise a potent influence
I'm the industrial expansion OF the
south. The cause OF this great de-
volopment Is in plain view of the
traveller on Norfolk and Western
train few miles north OF Bluefield
w Va From the car window he
may see what. supposedly is coll
umn OF coal, set I'm masonry. and
placed In the face OF the mountain
beside the track; but a closer scru-
tiny reveals what Il is-the outcrop
OF coal vein. in the greatest and
most valuable yet found on the globe
liz feet Pocahontas No. 3 To go
into details as to the quality OF this
great coal, is here quite unneces-
sary For steam and coking II is
the standard. All the world knows
what Il Is. Away out in Oklahoma.
when advertising their fuel resour-
ces, they say: Our coal is the equal
OF any In the world. except Poca-
hontas." That's the exact language
OF the Board OF Trade OF town now
advertising for factories.
But the No. seam is not all: the
other seams OF the Pcahontas Sc
ries, the New River measures, and
tho Kentucky Elkhorn. all OF like
character, but differing in thickness
OF vein, and all within the limits OF
the described territory--in these is
that development OF so notable i'm
portance. To reach this region, here
we have the Tidewater (now the
Virginia Railway Company building
in from Norfolk--over 400 miles
and the South and Western, coming
in from its Seaboard Air Line con-
nection In North Carolina to a point
in the wilds OF Pike county, Ky.
where II conneets-in the midst OF
the Elkhorn coal neld-wfth the
Chesapeake and Ohio. These great
new roads are building at a cost of
probably $1OO,O0O.OOO. They are
remarkable not only for their sub
stantial high-class construction, but
because their inland termini are. so
10 speak, I'm the woods-no city, or,
at present, even a town of any con
sequence. IL is, OF course, at once
seen that they are building for one
sole purpose coal tonnage. Thus
the Norfolk and Western, which
trayerseS the Pocahontas H.
coal field and is, at this time, the
largest coal carrier in the South, will
presently have two great rivals,
though not competitors, I'm coal
transportation.
What has this development to do
with the industrial growth OF the
south? To see concrete Illustration
OF IT, you have but to visit the cities
OF Norfolk, Lynchburg, Roanoke AMI
Biueileld, w Va. That portion of
this coal territory developed by the
Norfolk and Western railway has
poured into these cities a rich stream
or wealth, which, in but few years
mas exceeded the accommodations a

Several times mention has been made
in The STAR that the cemetery near
Pleasant Avenue, known as the Reyn-
oldsville cemetery, should be given a
name, but the company has not seen fl
yet to give it a name. Now that the
Grand Army Post and Sons of Veterans
have decided to hold the Decoration
Day ceremonies In that cemetery each
year, and that large monument is to
be erected therein in honor of our SOL
dier dead, we think it is but fitting that
the cemetery be given some other name
than the Reynoldsville cemetery. Knob
cemetery, Avenue cemetery, or any
other name would be better than Reyn-
oldsville cemetery, as there are four
cemeteries near town and any one OF
them would be a Reynoldsville ceme-

"Quiet Observer" in the Pittsburg
Gazette-Tymes says: ''It so happens
sometimes, and very naturally, too,
that the arrest and incarceration OF
a naggy, annoying man brings peace
fulness and cheerfulness to the home,
for there are men, and not few, who
are the terrors OF their homes rather
than their joys. In a great majority
of instances Ihis could have been avoid
ed II the woman in the case had exer-
cised common sense in the selection
OF husband. Most men contract their
bad habits before marriage, so that
by quiet inquiry girl can find out
very nearly the sort of man he is. 1t
is bad policy to take up with a tippler,
or gambler, or sporting man, with a
view to reforming him. 1t may have
been done In few instances, but they
are SO few that they are not sufficient
to found a rule. You may depend upon
1t that Q man won't do any more for
you as his wife than he will do for you

There is no better advertisement for
any community than good newspaper.
It is an expensive thing to keep a news
paper up to the best possible standard,
but II the merchant takes advantage OF
its advertising columns and advertises
iudiciously, it will prove to be one of
the best business investments they can
possibly make. II the merchants fail
to advertise it is the death blow to
the village. First, the trade Of
the village drifts away to other places,
and the large mail order houses; sec.
ond, the newspaper manages to exist
only, and is a poor representative OF
the town; third, without a progressive
newspaper the people soon become
antiquated, ossified, almost, and cease
themselves to be progressive, after
which a process of decay sets in and
1t does not take the town long to dry up
and wipe itself from the map. A good
newspaper is of more value to town
than is generally supposed, but no town
can have good newspaper unless it
is given proper support. The paper,
however, is always worth hundred
times more than it costs, and finally
proves to be large interest bearing
nvestment.-FallsC Creek Herald.
