when we will raise enough to supply
local demands and keep a large part
iof the timber and local money and IN

comes from visions is easily earned
land largely remains. We can get
much at small expense, and as the
automobile has come to stay we can
get more and more each year.
Good Roads Necessary.
II the people OF this county can
realize all at once the necessity for
.good roads. more lime and more tile,
and act as a unit, and develop what
lis here, there will be more work than
ever, more valuable land than ever
and more easy money than ever. VIVA,

A vast amount Of timber remains,
and nearly all the coal. Limestone is

debt. All that Is needed is energy

readily. These are cattel, sheep and
horses, hay, corn, oats and buckwheat.
These can be sold at any time and al
ways to the "other fellow" We have
been the other fellow" a long time
and must reverse the game.
There is practically no available
lime west Of Randolph county in the
state, and as time goes on all these
lands must be covered with lime as
the carbon has been largely exhaust
led. While our lime may not be as
good as the Trenton limestones of the
valley Of Virginia, still 1t is as good
for crushed lime; and this will be the
general mode Of using lime from now
on. When the general demand comes
we can sell all the lime needed for the
whole country and will be able to dc
so, as we have two railroads now go

large revenue for labor and transpor-

These are only a few Of the many
problems to be worked out, but the
future holds much in store for this

have a tremendous volume Of business

Most of the suggestions contained
~ the following editorial from the FL
k1ne Inter fountain on the Future
pf Randolph County" are applicable t.
ttaTriepn county, and they should
therefore. be given serious though;
~ the people Of this county:
What are the prospects for the
future OF Randolph county? is a
question that is often heard, and oc-
sionally some slight misgivings are
expressed. The optimist, however. can
only see bright prospects for West
Yirginia's largest county.
Have you. thoughtful reader, ever
considered the brilliant outlook fol
Randolph county?
Have you ever analysed the poss:-
bilities Of this section? True. IN.
timber has been removed from large
sections. but there still remain no.
90 ac0res Of timber which is about ono
: fourth OF the total area OF the coun-
~. There is coal under all Of the
county west Of Rich mountain, a total
area OF 400 square miles. Parts OF
this coal field are valuable and will
be mined In Increasing quantities each
year.
Limestone Valuable.
The most valuable part OF the
county is the limestone areas, which
are about one-third Of the county or
$50 square miles. Only part Of this
has been developed and ia growing
IN value each year. The production
OF cattle and grain will become vast
business and will produce more
money than has ever been made from
the timber.
There should be grass enough and
win be when the limestone is crushed
and scattered on the land, for 125
cattle to Craze to each square mile,
and this multiplied by 305 makes 49,
750. Today there are not more than
1880 cattle in the county. Wttn

scattering Of crushed lime there IL

estimate. These can all be fed dur

total level land in the county will pro.

ting much more than two per cors ef-

ss Utilize Level Lands.
There is a strong move to utilize
all the level lands, and when this, ID
done and the limestone sections are
all properly under grass the total
earning capacity OF this county will
be enormous.
The drifter or Spectator who looks
for easy money will not find It here,
but the man who knows how to bu.i Iii
up land and care for cattle will make
q good living and in addition biz
profit. The future prospect for this
