BUILD NOV.

HE statement at yesterdays Rotary club meeting that
recent building operation m this city is already
paying better than per cent on the investment bears out
what The West Virginia has all along commended. that
now IS the very best time IN which to build True the
people who put up the three houses referred at the
Rotary meeting got IN before prices of building materials
started to rise again number of weeks ago. Nevertheless
the original advice still holds sood-there will be for
number of years time favorable for building than
right now.
Moreover the earnings on the investment are not the only
thing that the investor may upon with serene conf
dence. This is growing town. 1t growing much more
rapidly than most people realize. In the very nature of
things property values here increasing each day. While
your capital invested houses and lots is earning ten per
cent and better The value of the property will be mounting
constantly The people who have the business acumen to
pick the right sites and the courage put the buildings
the necessary amount of money going to make money
very fast in the next few years in Fairmont

took the floor at the second or ad-

ton of the People of North Western
Virginia at Wheeling August Is, 1861.
He said he was but plain and unpre-
tending old farmer but he had his
views nevertheless on the momentous
question of division of the state and
he felt that he would not be doing his
duty If he did not express them. He
desired division OF the state at the
right time but emphasized that such
action would abrogate the reorganized
government which was in existence at
that time. He presented letter from
Edward Bates, Of the attorney gen.
erals office washington which the
clerk read. This letter to Mr.. Richie
classed the formation Of a new state
as revolution breach of the consti-
tuition of both Virginia and the United
States.
