BIG STONE GAP

The representative OF the ltoa-
nokc Times, who accompanied
the Roanoke boosters on their
special trip through this section
last week, had the following to
say in his paper regarding Big
Stone Gap:
"Big Stone Gap is one of the
important towns of Southwest
Virginia, and when one thinks
of Southwest Virginia they in
stanily think of Big Stone Gap,
for it was the boom of the latter
part of the eighties that attract
ed the attention of the world to
the Gap Big Stone Gap was
incorporated about 1883, and ac-
cording to the late John Fox, Dr.,
himself one of the pioneers,
Twelve railroads were surveyed
to the Gap, aud on came town
buildings, civil and mining en-
Slheers, shrcwd investors, reck-
less spectators, land sharks,
lawyers, doctors, storekeepers,
gamblers, card sharks, railroad
men-all the llotsam and jetsam
of the terrible boom!' Then
came the crash in the early nine
ties and slowly each capitalist
went back to his own trade, and
the blacksmith to his forge, the
singing teacher his hymn-book
and the preacher to his Bible.
Fortunately for Big Stone Gar
she had men of nerve who be-
lieved in her future. The late
