PATRONIZE HOME PEOPLE.
Too often it is the case that peo?
ple imagine thoy can do better away
from home than they can were they
to deal witli merchants ami mechan?
ics of their own town. This is a big
mistake, as the result usually proves.
Take, for instance, the merchants
of Big Stone Gap. They arc a live,
energetic class of men; honorable and
upright iu their dealings, and there
is sufficient legitimate competition
among theni to guarantee reasonable
prices, in buying their goods, as
they do, in good quantities, of course
they get tho benefit of eldest prices
from jobbing houses, and bring their
goods here to otter to the public with
a reasonable profit added. While
the object in doing this is to make
money out of thoir business, still,
think of the inconvenience the people
would be at if wc had no merchant*)
among us.
It is not doing them justice; in
fact it is not right, to buy the little
5 and 10 cent everyday necessities of
them; simply for convenience sake,
and then when you want to purchase
a nice bill of spring clothing, house
furnishing goods, or other articles that
amount to something, order of sonic
retail house in a city where, on ac?
count of high rents, expensive living,
etc , they are forced to charge you
'2b to per cent more than the same
article could be bought at through oi
from the business 'men of your ow;a
town.
Patronize home merchants, home
mechanics, home laborers and lioinc
people; keep every dollar in circula?
tion at home you possibly can, and
help to build irp your neighbor and
town all you can.
HAVE YOU ANY EN CO UR AG! NC
NEWS?"
Tm-; question in almost every
mouth about Big Stone Cap just at
this time is : "Have you any en?
couraging news?" This is but nat?
ural, and nothing else can be expected
from the nervy people who have
so heroiciy toughed it out through
the siege of business stagnation that
has been upon them for nearly three
years past. Although times have
indeed been hard on them in many
respects, still there is no reason f?i
them to become disheartened outside
of the fact of the slow progress that
iN being mado by the large compan?
ies that have it in their hands tc
start the place on the road to rapid
growth and prosperity or to hold it
and its citizens in their present
hampered position.
There is no doubt in the minds oi
all who have given any thought, to
the great ami almost nnequaled nat?
ural resources surrounding J>ig Stone
Gap as to the future of the place. The
immense quantity of superior iron
ore so near the town, the great veins
of fine coking coal, tbe almost un?
touched forests of poplar, oak, ash,
etc., that extend for many miles in
almost every direction, all go to
warrant the belief that Big Stone
Gap is at some future day to become
one of the most prosperous and im?
portant towns in this country; but,
tip to tbe present time, the people
who ??risked their little all" and
came here with the purpose of assist?
ing in building up and developing
tho country have to a very great ex?
tent met with disappointment. This
disappointment has not been brought
on them because of their bad judg?
ment in overestimating the future of
the town aud the superior advanta?
ges surrounding it, but, as mentioned
above, because of the slow progress
iu the development of the valuable
properties owned and controlled here
by wealthy corporations.
If the Virginia Coal ami Iron Co.,
the Virginia, Tennessee and Caroli?
na Steel and Iron Co., the Powell's
River Coal and Iron Co., and other
large corporations that own the bulk
of the valuable mineral property sur?
rounding the place were to commence
the development of their valuable
, holdings iu earnest, then prosperity
aud a general revival in business
would be the result ; but, uutii this j
is the case there is but little eneonr
agementto hope lor an improvement.
Because this immediate section is
richer iu iron, coal and timber re- ]
sources than almost any other portion
of tho south is no advantage to the
hard-working mechanic, the business
man or the every-day laborer who
hav.rcoriie here to make tins their
home unies? these natural resources
are developed ami they .are given
busiues - ami work to do.
Let work commence ; let the great^
companies interested hereto to .work
and prove to the worSl" "thaTBig
Stone Gap's a<lvantages have never
been over-estimated, even byMs most
enthusiastic friends. By doing this
they will also show the people who
have located here, and who have so
patiently waited for this happy -vent,
that they have neither misplaced
confidence in the ability 'and frit'en*
tions of the ditTorent coin panics, nor
over-estimated the resources Of the
country.

A dispatch from Now Orleans? of yes?

meeting between Fitzimmbns ?nd Hall, in
the Crescent City Cinls house, Hall was

Fitz, chucks his little $40,000 into Iiis hip

The Coke Situation.
The coke trade last week dropped hack
a few points in production, says the Con
iiellvillc Courier in its weekly resume of
the coke situation. Almut 3(50 ovens were
blown out and in consequence the produc?
tion decreased* ahout 3400 tons. For the
eurrrent week, however, a more hopeful
feeling prevails. The severe weather on
Saturday was responsible tor a short run
at many of the small plants in the region.
Though ovens being blown out there is
nothing like a despondent feeling among
the coke operators. They deem it a bet?
ter policy to keep just enough ovens in
blast to supply the demand than to keen
m< st of the ovens in blast and run four
days a week or stock the over production
of coke. Last week much slock coke was
shipped from the region. The operators
are' making a determined cilort to get
their yards elenncd-un. The car supply
has been extremely good', and nearly all
I he works got a six days run last week.
The shipments were larger than they have
been tor the last six months, the most
notable increase being in the Eastern
shipments. For some reason the Pitts?
burgh shipments decreased although the
pig iron market is fairly active. The
crushed and fouudary coke trade contin?
ues brisk.
A detailed report ol the operations and
output of the region for the week ending
Saturday, shows 12,830 ovens in blast und
44IIII idle, with a total estimated produc?
tion of 123,354 tons. Compared with the
productiou'of the previous week this writ
a decrease of 3380 tons. The H. C. Frick
Coke Company blew out 150 ovens" al Stan?
dard, 100 at Leisenring No. U, fc'O.at Kyle
and II! at Leisen ring No. 3. At Youngs
town (>1 ovens have been fired up. At the
?aincy plant of VY. .!. (injury, :20 ovens'
have been blown out and hoarded ove>r.
The other operators nude no changes in
their active and idle lists of ovens worthy
of mention.
The shipments spurted attain last ?veek.
For the week they aggregated 7503 c.ars
consigned as follows: To Pittsburgh and
river tripples, I7fif> cars, to points east
of Conncllsville, 2|49 cars Compared
with the previous week's shipment thi.
was an increase of tlH) cars. In the Pitts?
burgh shipments there was an increase oi
141 cars. The Eastern shipments eclips?
ed those of many months back. They in?
creased !H4 cars over those of the previ?
ous week. The l\ K. H. Eastern ship?
ments were very heavy while the 1). ?.V 0.
hipinents east were light.

"Despite the fact that f shold lie jubi?

Sterling Morton, to-day, l I am troubled.
Everyday that passes sees the timber
producing land of this country reduced by
:2.~>.000 acres, .lust think, over one fhous
and acres every hour. Thorn are but
40,000,000 acres of timber left in this
country and at this rate of fle&l ru'd idn the
trees will last but a generation.
"The most important matter that, will
occupy my attention when 1 enter the
Cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture will
be the preparation ot national forestry
laws, to be presented through some kind?
ly Congiessnian to Congress.
"Nearly three thousand ties arc con?
sumed for each mile of railioad Hack laid,

benefit would be derived bj r-cc.uriii'g leg?
islation that would make the railroads
utilize their right of way to plant trees
for their own consumption. Think of an
arbour reaching from Jersey City to San
Francico, from ocean to ocean; Vou
would be able to travel this distance in
an arbour, cool and Rustless yt\ Su'uimer
and free from snow in Winter, were the
railroads to set trees each side of their
