Fayetteville Courthouse Pride Amid Forest Fire News
The piece contrasts Fayette county courthouse cleanliness with Raleigh county’s older building. It notes a small forest fire near Oak Hill, sparked possibly by a cigarette, and describes local sights including Oak Hill Steam Laundry and Arbuckle Creek. It recounts anecdotes from residents about oxen plowing, and a historical coin with William III inscriptions found in Beckley.
