The Bossier Banner W H SCANLAND Editor and Proprietor BENTON LA Thursday November 5 1914 KILLING TIME No rightminded person hears without a certain shock the common expression to kill time It suggests a crime almost equal to those of which the law takes ac count Fur time is the stuff of life and to kill time is to kill life Who in his senses would ever think or talk of murdering his potential self In view of the varied and fascinating interests that may enter into a human ca reer it is strange indeed that anyone should consider time as something to be killed and gotten rid of There is surely use enough for every minute vouchsafed to us in this mortal career A person nor mally occupied finds each day too short for the opportunities presented The wiseman counts the precious moments of the day as a miser counts his golden coinsbut only to see how they may wisely be spent not selfishly hoarded We come into the world with a double endowmentwith work to do and with suitable time in which to do it There is time enough for the task but not too much If time

Elkins, Randolph County, W.Va. 1897

"This panoramic map shows Elkins, West Virginia, as it appeared in 1897. The city was developed as a railroad hub in the 1880s by two entrepreneurs and politicians: Henry Gassaway Davis (1823-1916) and Stephen Benton Elkins (1841-1911), with the city named after the latter. Both men served terms representing West Virginia in the U.S. Senate. The map shows the city of Elkins along the Tygart's Valley River, with two bridges crossing the river--one for rail (adjacent to Railroad Avenue) and one for pedestrians and other transport (Davis Avenue). A train is seen on the far side of town, traveling on the West Virginia Central Railroad. The railroad enabled the success of industry involving the extraction of natural resources such as coal and timber. The index at the bottom of the map indicates points of interest, including the railroad hub, major industrial facilities, shops, schools, churches (Presbyterian, Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist Colored, and United Brethren), and the opera house. The panoramic map was a cartographic form in popular use to depict U.S. and Canadian cities and towns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Also known as bird's-eye views or perspective maps, these works are representations of cities portrayed as if viewed from above at an oblique angle. Not generally drawn to scale, they show street patterns, individual buildings, and major landscape features in perspective. This map is by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler (1842-1922), one of the most prolific makers of panoramic maps. Fowler was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, and fought and was wounded in the American Civil War. After working for an uncle who was a photographer, in 1870 he established his own panoramic map firm. Over the course of a long career, Fowler made panoramic maps of cities in 21 states and parts of Canada." World Digital Library.
