Gradual Growth Begin,

aTduuht oToWtu begins
Coeburn grew in a small way until
the year 1903 when the more progress
sive citizens of the town incorporated
and put into operation the First Ma
tional Bank. During the year 1912
when the business of the place had
increased quite considerably the need
for another bank was apparent. The
Miners Bank of Commerce was
established. Under the capable man
agement of the cashiers Mr.. Dodd of
the First National Bank and Mr..
Ramsey of the Miners Bank, the town
has banking facilities very much bet
ter than those of great many larger
places. The banking resources now
reach close around the two million
mark.
Center of Great Industry
Within radius of three miles
there are over 10000 people. The
town is 1900 feet above the sea level
and is midway between Bristol, Ten
nessee, Bluefeld, West Virginia and
Middlesboro, Kentucky. Situated
MS it is in the very heart of the great
coal and coke industry of the South
west, it is considered by many to be
the logical town to grow into great
city. Since il was incorporated in
1880 the towns growth has been
steady. For many years the lack of
water supply was a serious consider
alton III the history of Coeburn. Dur
ing the last few months more than
100000 have been spent in putting |
in an up to date sewerage and water
system. The tank, holding more than
one hundred thousand gallons OF wa
ter, is located above the depot and |
will supply town many times the
size of Cocburn with adequate water
supply. Plans and specifications for
the pumping machines have been re-
ceived and as soon as the committee
can decide on same, the pumping APP
paratus will be purchased and install
ed, The water has been analysed by
the State Board of Health and per-
mission has been granted the com
pany to use the water.
New Hotel is Built
4 building boom is now in progress.
Many homes and business houses
are in process Of construction. \
new hotel and new five and ten cent
store are among the more important
additions to the town. The hotel will
be located on the main street and will
have is rooms, and will be modern in
every respect. This will be good
news TO many who have business 10

Coeburn was the first town in Wise

Later it was followed by Norton, hut

in this place. Their schools are
among the best in the county, and
the new High School building above
the city is one of the finest in the
county.
Many people from Norton, Wise,
Appalachia and Big Stone Gap have
purchased property in Coeburn. Pos.
sibilities are almost without number.

the annual meeting Of the institute
DR.. Arnold discussed The Calling OF

I have been told that the average
length of pastorates with us is about

MARTINSOR WON'T BE HERE
Big Jack Rogers, Canadian Giant,
VIII Meet EusSace.

Big Jack Rogers, Canadian Giant,
VIII Meet Eussace.
Big Jack Rogers, the Canadian
Giant heavyweight champion of
Canada, will meet Alan Eustace on the
mat in the auditorium Thursday night
in place of Paul Martinson, who was
injured in Chicago and is out of the
game for some time. Rogers is one of
the best wreSters now before the pub
lie, and won g match from Martinson
several months ago. Thus the Topeka
fans will have an opportunity of see
ing Eustace with the best possible OPP
ponent that could be secured for him
outside of Champion Lewis or Stan.
Zbyszko.
Rogers. who is feet inches in
height and weighs 260 pounds, started
as a fighter but renounced the ring
ing boxing exhibition He is big,
heavy, fast and game, and will fur
nish plenty of thrills and excitement.
1t is a very fortunate thing that a man
give everyone an opportunity of seeing
Eustace in action against a clever and
experienced opponent, and will make a
better card even than Martinson and
Eustace, and that seems to be just
what Topeka fans want.
Both men are expected in Topeka
today. and will do their final work in
this city, giving the sport devotees a
chance to see them in action. The
advance sale of seats is good. and ad-
ditional interest has been added by
substituting Rogers against Eustace.
From gossip heard on the streets, it is
going to be record crowd, and every
seat in the auditorium will be filled.
Rogers made very creditable
showing with Zbyszko in Concordia
last night. 1t took the former champion
thirty four minutes to throw Rogers
for the first fall, and the best that
stranger" Lewis did was to stay
forty minutes with Zbyszko for the
first fall in Wichita Friday. Then
Zbyszko claims Lewis fouled him and
won two falls and the title while the
Pole was in a dazed condition. This
indicates Rogers is capable wrestler
and will give Eustace the match of his
life here on Thursday nisht
