TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF INDUSTRIAL
LIFE YET IN SIGHT FOR ARLINGTON
Prediction Made by John B. Atkinson, Pioneer andExpert in
Coal Mining.
Much has be"en said during the past few years about the future of Earlington aVa
miuiug and railroad town and tho effect on our people of present ao'd poasible railroad
changes. Even some of our business men wero fnr a time timorous as to the outcome,
when tho railroad "cutoff" was begun, and perhaps but .ew it any of our citizens have on
tt-rtaiued anything like the broad view of continuous future prosperity that isjustified by
the physical facts. Thk Bkk lias consistently held that all conditions wore .favorable to"
;a long continuation of. business life and prosperity for this community, but ihbre lmvo
Jljeou, nevertheless, some who wore doubters and some who were afraid. It is sj pleasure
lKw to give our readers the unreserved opinion of a man, who is botha noiheer and an ex
pert in coal mining in Kentucky, whose opinion all willTespeet and!bjQe.ve Mr. JolnB.
