RADFORD, VA, November 1.-tspe-
ciaI)-'Laugh and the world laughs with
you" sings the poet. and all physicians
agree that laughter is an aid to digss-
ton, as well as means to longevity.
Sometimes. however. laughter comes
dear. even in the land of the free
truth brought home to three young
gentlemen of East Radford few nights
ago. They had their laugh. and declars
it was worth the 81 apiece that it cost.
Now. their friends are laushlng-at theis
expense.
It was Saturday night. and the young
gentlemen. an exemplary book-keeper,
and two popular clerks. were telling
Jokes They were evidently fresh jokes oc
more than passing interest. and the young
gentlemen, In order to give full vent to
their risibilities. repaired to the steps oc
Baldwin's Mill. which stands In a retired
spot back OF the railroad. Here laugh
ter was unrestrained until presently tht
mirthful trio found themselves In ths
midst Of at least hundred people. Then
they were taken before the Mayor. on
the charge of disturbing public worship
and soaked for 81 a piece.
Two Remarkable Facts.
There are two remarkable facts Tn CON
nection with the case. First. that the
place OF worship Is four blocks away
from the mill; second. that the band OF
worshippers are protested Sanctitication-
lists.
The first argues sound lungs for tns
sinners. who broke up the meeting. The
second would indicate that the worship
pers' thoughts were not conferred so conf
pletely on heavenly things as they might
have been, since, at the first sounds OF
mrth they forgot their devotions. poured
out of the hall pel nell and hed them
en- masse to the scene of hilarity.
AS for the young gentlemen, they seem
to have looked at the matter in q philo-
sophcaI light and TO have gotten -heis
full share OF enjoyment out of the joke.
Fine Fruit Exhibit.
The first exhibit of fruit a. the DistriG
Fair, held recently in Radford. was than
of Mr.. w. Scott. of Floyd county. Mr..
SCOTS orchard which is situated at this
summit of the Blue Ridge overlooking
Patrick. Henry. and Franklin counties, Is
the largest in Virginia. and contains
10000 apple, 2t.0c0 peach, and 5000 pear
trees. When the apple trees begin to bear
they will yield 10000 bushels OF apples
annually. requiring 100 boX-cars to trans
port the shipment The fruit Industry has
taken new impetus In Southwest Vir-
ginia, and Commissioner of Agriculture
koiner speaks in glowing terms of It's
future.
1t is gratifying TO note the tnteres,
which is being awakened in the Develop
ment of this rich and beautiful section.
Nature has been lavish of her gifts. but ir
needs intelligent effort and ceaseIess In
dustry to unlock the wealth hidden away
