Stevenson One of the Men Who Made Huntington
The Huntington Herald Dispatch of last evening contained the following editorial:
The news from Fairmont might be worse. Huntington will have no objection to Mr. John B. Stevenson's becoming interested in a Fairmont business enterprise, but if Fairmont undertakes to claim Mr. Stevenson's citizenship, Huntington will offer prompt and strenuous objections, and will resort to all the known expedients in an effort to prevent it. Mr. Stevenson is one of the men that has helped to make Huntington. He is so much that kind of a man that we doubt if he could be induced to live anywhere else.
