J ?nan marxin, wno for many years conducted, a wholesale grocery at West Union and for the past Beveral years, until about bIx months ago, was one of the proprietors of a large wholesale grocery at Huntington but now travollng for a largo coffee concern, while In the city this week stated that there was no reason but that Huntintgon would be "the first city in West Virginia in ten years, Judging ironi the wonderful stride it ahd made dur ing the last decade and that the population, according to "the government enumeration taken in 1910, was over 32,000 and since that tinio it had increased more than a thousand. Wheel ing, which has always ranked as the first city in West Virginia, has increased very little In population during the past ten years, having rauue about as poor showing during that time as any municipality in the State. Mr. Martin, who is one of the best versed men in the State 011 commercial subjects, stated that West Vir ginla to-day is one of the most prosperous commonwealths In the Union and that Huntington, Fairmont ana Clarksburg were the three most prosperous cities In West Virginia. He further said that the people of this city had no reason to complain about the alleged hard times if they would visit some other cities In this State, to Say nothing of dozens of towns throughout the Ohio valley from Pittsburg to Cincinnati that they would see the difference; that conditions are not the best by any means in the Snipky City, but that all indications pointed to all the larger industries in that place resuming In the near future but there are any number of cities that have not such good prospect in view. in concluding Mr. Martin sa.'d: "You have a pretty town; Fairmont Is one of the best and most up-to-the-minute cities for Its size I have had the pleasure of visiting for-some time; you are doing more building here than any city in -the Sfat?,w Excepting'Htintington. and -judglng'froTn personal observation there seems to be few men out of employment, a:nd to cap the climax, you have good, strong, active, congenial business men and pretty women. What more does a city ask while the sun of prosperity is shining upon it, as It has done-^wHile the deep clouds of hard times has been and is now hanging over many other cities throughout the United States. I have done a good business here and the dealers say they are 'selling plenty of coffee, showing that the people have money to buy the beverage, and all tlie commercial men with whom I have talked, representing various lines, say that they consider Fairmont a rnree X good city; one of the three most prosperous municipalities at present in the Mountain State and that West Virginia has during the past ten years held- her own with any commonwealth In the domain of your Uncle Samuel." ?It is a peculiar thing, but nevertheless true, that whenever a criminal case is to be tried before a judge or justice there are always plenty of spectators, and Fairmont Is no exception. This was plainly Illustrated late yesterday afternoon when "Kid Dawson" and several other young men were given a hearing before Justice K. S. Amos on a charge of the larceny of $120 from K. X. Parker, of Morgan town, at a local hotel about two wceas ago, an account of which appears In another column. Neither the defendants nor the complainant are weil-known in this city, but. when the hearing was ready to bo pulled off the basement oflice.of Justice Amos was filled to overflowing with spectators and It was decided to hold the trial In the county court room so that it -would not ho so oppressive for the principals, witnesses and attorneys. It is strange how quickly the news will sproad thal.a criminal case Is to be tried and .It , appears that the spectators ilsqup .from the earth, so quick'y do ihey put0;ln their .appearance. With few' exceptions, the. men who witnessed the hearing yesterday apparently were employed and looked to be hard-working men. Bo that as it may, they were there and' they heard the case from the time of reading the warrant by the justice until the defendants were taken away by the officers at the close of the hearing. Any time at any hour if a criminal case is to be tried by judge or justice it's a safe guess that^there will be pieuty of spectators. Where is there a pci* son who ever heard of a criminal case being tried In West Virginia or in any other State, that there were not a bunch of men occupying'the seats set apart for . the spetitatorB that they might see and hear the wheels or justice as they grind out happiness or sorrow lor the accused." . ?Here Ja some more dream "dope."
