WHAT ARE you GOING TO DO?

There is not a thinking or observing
person in this city who does not pro-
claim in loud terms the unprecedented
prosperity of the city and county. De
velopment of latent natural resources
are apparent on every side. Never
was so many people seeking perma-
nent homes in the community. Why
is it? Because a few energetic, I'M
selfish business men decided to let
the world know that Bryan was on
the map and have unitedly worked to
that purpose. Men have gained many
thousands from the recent advances
in values who have never been seen
at a single Commercial Club meeting
or contributed one penny to its sup
port, and cant see its benefit While
the faithful, energetic, enterprlsing
half hundred have been unselfishly
giving of their time and money to de-
velop Bryan into what its natural adj
vantages entitle it to be, the best city
of the Lone Star state. The question
is, Are you going to, come into the
ranks of the marchers, or are you go
ing to still watch the procession as 1
passes you to the rear?-Contributed

LETTER OF CONGRATULATIONS
Sound, But Rathereomplimentary
ACCURATE AS TO CONDITIONS
But Rather Frank in Expression
EDITOR PRoeREssrvE WEsrvIRcINIAN

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE WEsTVIRcINIAN
| hope you will give space in
| the first issue of your new paper
| for an expression Of gratitude
from an old friend and patron
who thinks he appreciates your
ability and independence as a
newspaper man.
The writer believes the senti-
ment expressed in this letter is
also the sentiment of large ma
lority of the citizens of this
county.
Without injecting any improp-
er motives or even lntlmating
or attempting to. cast any refiec-
tons as to dereliction Of duty on
the other editors that have served
the public in this county in re-
cent years, we don't hesitate TO
say that our local papers have
not quite filed the aching void
left here when you turned YOUR
back upon us and sought more
fertile pastures.
We hope the experience and
food you have gathered from
those pastures have, fully ma
tured and ripened your naturally
frank and independent spirit and
manner of expression, for there
is general belief in this. county
and surrounding territory that
an independent, high-class, dig
nited journal that will tell the
plain truth about public affairs
and show no especial favors to
any one is just what this section
of West Virginia needs worse
than anything else.
What is and has been true OF
Mingo county regarding our jour
nails is just as true of our neigh
boring counties and, in fact, to I
large extent, of the whole State
There is hardly another sec
ton Of country in the world witt
so much and such rapidly deyel
oplng natural wealth with sucf
an opening for high order o
journals m.
We believe you can give US thi,
kind of journal, and we also hop,
and believe that the people o
Southern WestVirginia and East
ern Kentucky will, in a shor
time, show such appreciation, i
you come up to their expectation
with weekly paper, as to de
mand a daily publication.
We are proud of our count
seat town. We can see it In

intellectual tone as well as, in ma
terial prosperity. Its people ar

Fire, due to a defective hue, de-
stroyed the residence Of Leslie G.

noon. The loss is $4,000 and the in-
surance $4,000.
About O'Clock yesterday afternoon

burning. He looked all around tho
place, but could see no fire or smoke
Ten minutes later tho odor was more
perceptible, and as he started to-
wards the house ho saw volumes OF
smoke pouring from an upstairs room.
He ran there but could find no fire,
but when he reached the kitchen he
found the side of the house ablaze.
Neighbors were summoned by tele-
phone, and IN a short time farmers
from the section were on the scene
helping to get out the household
goods- They succeeded in getting
the furniture from the house. The
building was totally destroyed.
