Al was in West Virginia for the
first time in forty:nine years Just d
few days ago. !" said a.. A. Martin. a
travelling man, in conversation with
a reporter for the West vlrginian this
morning.
II assure you there have been. a
few changes in forty.nine years. The
Imagination need not be called into
rplay in, picturing the thousands of in.
dustrles that now take the place Of
the wilderness Of nearly fifty years

West Virginia the greatest Industrial
state in the union, and, even now,
the new dominion is still in its in.
fancy. indust.ially and financially.
Fifty years from now and West Vir.
gnla will lead the union.
