A FEW
WORDS PERSONAL
IN ItKI KItKM K TO THK l>.\||,Y
LKAIIKIL
•lost hIkiut tills time twelve months
into, preparations were belli* made
for tli.' hist Issue of the Dally Deader
M that time the partlslan Republi
can paper published In this city was
i reflection upon decent newspaper
efTort. and was not worthy of a vil
lage Since that time we want to
ay that Its “vlleneas" has been
calmed, and Its vulgar utterances of
the past have ceased to reflect upon
11 he better element of our citizenship
■'luce the Deader has come to Blue
field. wo wish •«) say that a new sense
1 "f respectability has dawned upon
that badly printed and iVuugerous
partisan sheet. its management has
put lots of money Into that old de
generate organ or the past, and It
seems now that there Is an effort be
ing made to make It decent. The
Telegraph now is publishing fairly a
decent country newspaper, and we
wish In this explanation to give Its
management credit for it. The Dea
der does not wish to claim any credit
for Hu- change that has come over
the spirits of those who support an 1
control the Telegraph, for the change
might have soon come any way. It
may lie that the Deader has hastened
• he improvement of journalism In
Minefield and caused a general awak
ening in the old journal, this was
inevitable, or it could not have ex
isted it had lived so long without
opposition that it had grown to think
that the people and the town be
longed to it, tint now that It has
found differently, we wish to give*
it credit for the advances made. It
is better for the town and we hope
in the •■ml Mint It will prove better
for all concerned. When we came
•here were all kinds of predictions
•hat we could not exist and to bo
flunk about it we are not pining for
mother .war's ex|ierience of the
.line kind, but we were too old in the
business to lie routed by such a
< Mqiif* as composed the );nng <
ili<* Minefield partisan contingent. N«
withstanding till the adverse circum
stances, we are entering upon our
second year with brighter prospects
than ever Those* knowing the con
dition of our business, are surprised
at iis showing. We are retiring
from tlie active business of the Lea
der because we want rest and sisslst
anee, and then again we believe with
new energies and more money we can
make a much better newspaper iu
the future. That there is a need for
stu b a newspaper here, all will agree.
:tnd that it has now come to stay is
no longer doubted. If we had not
b < n hampered for fear of becoming
involved in a loss of money, or if w*>
had had the support financially we
nith-ipatcd. we might have done bet
ter. tmt as all of these difficulties are
now overcome, with new blood and
iurg\ in the lead, you may look
for a bright future for the Daily
I ,eader.

THE BLUEFIELD
GRAHAM DISTRICT.
That the future Importance of this
district Is better appreciated away
from home is evident from recent
experience. With scarcely any adver
tising. the Chamber of Commerce Is
making most gratifying progress In
Interesting outside capita) to enter
Industries In the district. It is al
ready upparent that a considerable
number of labor employing concerns
will locate here. The population in
Graham and Hluefleld will probabaly
he Increased over 5000 In the next
12 months. Many are anticipating
this Increase, and purchasing real
estate. The two towns— Blueneld
and Graham, are just on the point of
bursting into a sudden expansion.
I he new trade territory opening and
now open along the Tidewater and
the South and Western all finds Its
supply station and distributing point
here. It is impossible in the space at
hand to define just how this new
trade will build up Bluefleld and
Irahain; hut it can he measurably
iproxlmated by what you see the
territory served by the Norfolk and
Western has done for the district. To
illsutrate: If Hluefleld's wholesale
trade is now fl,000,000 a year in
Norfolk & Western territory, It will
soon jump to $ a. 000,000 n year iti
the present and the new territory.
This ratio to all other lines of busi
ness. Things are going to be mighty
interesting for the next Hve years.
