airy 2. The prospect for largely
increased attendance and most
prosperous session was never bright
er. All the faculty will be active
ly engaged, and their entire time

and responsible duties as Instructors
There was nothing but satisfaction
as result of former terms of this
splendid school, and every member
of the college staff will aim for
the best possible results this year.
There is a unity of purpose in the
faculty which, with their recognized
ability, can not fail to do great
things for the school and its stu
dents. There is entire harmony be-
tween the college and our citizens,
and, speaking for the latter, the
News extends to the students, no
matter how many there may be, a
cordial welcome and the assurance
that they will be provided for and
made comfortable.

Delayed Development.

In speaking OF an article in the
Manufacturers Record which was
reprinted in the Big Sandy News
quite recently the Courier Journal
says;
This is an interesting recital as
showing some Of the causes which
have combined to delay the develop
ment of a promising fieldlt is more
Interesting still as forecas,lng oper-
ations in the near future on a scale
commensurate with the resources of
the Elkhorn region. The area en-
braced in the purchase of the Balti-
more corporation covers the south
ern part Of Pike county, the east
erns part OF Floyd and Knott coun-
ties and the northern portion Of
Letcher county. The company's en-
gineers, the Record says, are now
laying out the plans for operation,
but 1T is not expected that actual
development will be started until
spring. at which time it will be
pushed rapidly"
In connection with the work of
railroad extension now in progress il
that part of the State the program
as outlined by the Records article
viii mean a great deal for the four
counties which are chiefly interest
ed. 1t also will serve as a stimulus
to development in other counties of
Eastern Kentucky All in all the
situation in the mountains is more
promising than 1t has ever been and
the dawn of new era of progress
seems near at hand.

ganized in Lexington by John c. G.
Mayo, millionaire capitalist, Of
Paintsville, Percy Haley and others,
has closed deal from A. d. Bright,
of New York for 1000 acres Of

some twenty-odd tracts. at consid-
Grafton said to be unusually large.
This property was purchased over
twenty-five years ago by Me.ssrs:
Moon and Horseley at fifty, cents
and s1.OO per acre for the miner
al rights. Much litigation has re-
suited over the property during re-
cent years, the natives asserting
that the purchasers could not make
legal title because the original plir-
chasers paid comparatively aathins
for the property. To-day this prop
erty is current at $10O per acre.
Thus great fortunes have been bar
tered away in mountain Kentucky

Cecil Moffett. aged 20 years, a

time a resident of Huntington, w.

lision which occurred on the B. &

this unfortunate accident the Cat

ing:
1T has been with great difficulty
that anything could be learned con-
corning the affair, Captain Moffett
not having received any of the
particulars. He left Immediately
for his residence in Huntington to
be with his family in their deep dis
tress and make the proper prepara.
tions for the funeral.
1t appears that young Moffett,
who has been running as brake
man on the road, left Huntington
at very early hour this morning
for Parkersburg, and when his train
had reached Mercer Bottom there
was a headon collision between it
and another freightresulting in the
killing of the engineer and fireman
and young Moffett and engineer on
the south bound train
"The cause of the disaster is re-
ported to have been a misunder-
standing of orders by the engineer
and conductor on young Moffett's
train, but this appears to be only
rumor and has not been fully con
firmed."
The News learns that when the
collision occurred Moffett was
standing on car next the locoho-
tive tender The force of the col
lision threw the tender back upon
this car, and the unfortunate young
man was crushed under the enor,
