The preface of the book best sums
its contents up as follows:
We receive many inquiries about
West Virginia, its agricultural produe-
tions. climate. soils and the opportuni-
ties for securing comfortable homes
among our hills, mountains and val
legs To answer these by letter is
tedious task, especially If an attempt
be made to give the information de.
sired BY prospective investors and
j home seekers. To answer these In
quiries more fully and satisfactorily
the following pages have been pre-
pared 1t may also. in a measure.
otlN We Tue pun l'p0t VI Sli'NlllS III d Sth-
era way, that West Virginia is rich
in her agricultural products as well as
coal. oil. natural gas and timber. This
fact has not been so fully advertised
as has been the Industrial enterprises
and mineral resources of the state
The Cultivated Area.
There are about 5.155, 532 acres of
virgin land In West Virginia yet to be
brought under cultivation, which is al
most half of the total ACREAGE classed
as farm land, or about 20 per cent OF
= the total area of the state. Our agri-
cultural productions could be largely

market in the rapidly growing centers

states, and the probabilities are that
home production will not supply the
demand for years to come. The devel-
opment of our. natural resources may
be said to have only begun. Millions
in money are still pouring into the
state to be used in the dove 'opment of
coal, oil, natural gas and various con-
structive enterprises. Railroads are
penetrating almost every section of
the state, the building of which con
stitutes some of the most gigantic en-,
terprises known to modern engineer

turers Record "for four years there
has been al Of $4,000 900 year put
into West Virginia properties, enter
prises and developments. One of the
greatest individual enterprises ever
seen-the H. NJ. Rogers $4,000 900
Deepwater-tidewate railroads. be-
ing built for almost the single object
Of developing West Virginia coal
mines and hauling the coal to market.
All of 81 100000 a month IS expended
in futhering this enterprise. Henry
G. Davis is putting millions in road
that bisects he state and ooens up All
immense new territory. The Norfolk
and Western. the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Baltimore and Ohio roads are
spending millions in the development
and Improvement Of their lines in the
state. Tho United States steel com
pany has spent something like sl0,-
100000 in buying Pocahontas coal
lands. developing the same and con.
strueting coke ovens, and still has
only covered a small pat Of the COM
pany's holdings The Kanawha and
West Virginia railroad is spending
81, 600. 900 in the development Of coal
properties. The Berwini and White
interests have expended $5,000,000 on
coal developments in West Virginia"
These are only a few of similar enter
prises that have been taking pace
and the consequent demand for labor.
1t centralizes a large non-producing
population which must buy everything
consumed. 1t has also drawn largely
upon the rural communities. Young
tracted thither by the indictment of
better wages than the farm, managed
after the old way, could provide. In
some cases, the Old folks are left to
care for the farm as best they can,
and such farms as well as virgin land
could be bought for a reasonable sum.
With energy and a little capital these
lands could be made to produce a
comfortable living provide a home
free from the cares and anxieties ex
perienced in the strenuous life in the
city.
In these days of advancement with
rural mail delivery, the telephone and
the raj roads penetrating nearly every
section of the state. country life is no
longer isolated as it was in the days
of our forefathers. Progressive steps
have been taken to improve our pub
lie highways. which will in the near
future result in great benefit to our
rural people.

School Advantages.

In addition to our excellent free
school system. our numerous colleges,
seminares, academies and high
schools are second to none Besides
these, ample provision is made for the
farmers sons to equip themselves for
a broader and more scientific knowl-
edge of their profession. The College
of Agriculture of the State University
at Morgantown is as fully equipped as
any similar institution and is doing
much for the ele7ation and promotion
of agriculture in the state.
The state is liberal in it's support
of the institutions that promote
higher social life. About all the
religious denominations are rspre
scented and stand upon an equalfv De
fore the law. No special favors have
been extended to any creed or de-
nomination. Thus the religious work
of the early settlers has had vital
influence in moulding the lives and
character and contributing to the well
being OF our people. In speaking on
this subject, we can do no better than
to use a historical sketch so well de-
scribed by Hon Virgil A, Lewis, who
said that almost before the roof was
on the rude log cabin. some one OF
the jealous, sef-sacrificing heralds OF
the cross found his way to 1t. With
Bib'e in hand clad in the rough home
spun of the border, they went from
one cabin to another proclaiming the
glad tidings OF Peace on EarJn, Good
Will to Men and by them the first
congregations in the then Translate
gheny wilderness were organized. No
lifty spire or sounding bell guided
these worshippers to the place where
PRAYER was wont to be made. for 1t

EXPANSIO
c. NJ. Carpenter to Open Branch
Store at Brandon

Our jeweler and optician, c. NJ. Car
penter, had decided to expand bit, and
accordingly announces that he will open
ajewelry store in Brandon in few weeks.
The Brandon Union in commenting
upon this move of Mr.. Carpenters tells
the story in this way;
c. NJ. Carpenter, of Middlebury, for
merly of Brandon, has leased the store
which is to be vacated by H. E. Hemen-
way and will refit it with line of jewel
ry goods as soon as Mr.. Hemenway shall
vacate. Mr.. Ewing Adams, who was
with Mr.. Carpenter in this town, will
manage the Brandon store. Mr.. Carpen-
ter began business in Brandon and it is
not too much to say that he was very
successful. He was devoted to his bust
ness, was skilful workman and per-
sistent advertiser. In fact he was the
only good advertiser we have ever
known in Brandon in his line. Some
people, when business gets dull, with
draw their ad.; Mr., Carpenter when
business got dull increased his space.
When he opens again in Brandon he will
attract his full share of the patronage.
