Fine Specimens
OF Fruit Grown Near Pen
nineton Gap.

No better evidence of the
great possibilities Of this and
Sdiolning counties as fruit
Taising sections could be had
than that shown in Big Stone
Gan last week. G. S. Cake,
representing Stark Bros, Muir
series and Orchards Company,
Louisiana Mo-, exhibited this
fruit to the Post, G. Il. Blanton,
J. w. Chalkley, j. r. Bullitt,
Judge w. s. Matthew'S and
others interested in fruit culture
in this vicinity.
The specimens shown came
from she orchard of j. B. Gill
bert, Stark Bros. representative
at Pennington Gap and from
10 year old trees. The exhibit
included Stark Delicious, Black
Ben, Champion and Grimes
Golden apple; Fame and
Kiefer pear; Van Deman
ounce and Stark Gold Plum.
For size, color and condition, :"
said Judge Mathews. this
fruit is the finest collection |
have ever seen from our local
territory. Certainly it marks
an epoch in the progress of
fruit culture in Southwest Vir-
ginia and directly lends the
strongest argument for the de-
yelopment of our idle land, the
clearing and planting of our
mountain and hill sides"
There is not one thing ex-
traofdinary about this splendid
fruit" said Mr.. Cake. "Such
high quality fruit as this can
and will be raised in this sec.
ton just as il is about Roanoke
and in many other places in
Virginia, thus bringing to your
people a vast revenue to say
nothing of the greatly increased
value of land not now bringing
the owner n dollar. A visit to
the orchards near this city of
Messrs. Graham, Williams and
Cousins, now heavy with fruit,
WILDE sufficiently convincing"

En- The land is rough, gravely

MIR. Cake has about conclud.
ed negotiations with Messrs.

Coal Mines
AT Josephine Preparing to
Commence Operation
Again.

The coal mines at Josephine,
near Norton, owned by the
Intermont Coal and Iron Com
pany, which have been closed
down for the past two years, is
making active preparations to
commence work again, and by
the 18th of October they will be
shipping both coal and coke.
This company's coke plant is
composed of so ovens, and they
make a good quality of coke.
The indications are fine for n
good business at all the mines
in this field this fall and winter,
and coal is already bringing a
good price and the demand is
steadily increasing.

Work Progressing on Licking
ton & Eastern.

Sergeant, Ky, Sept. 1.-THE
track layers on the next exten.
sion of the Lexington and
Eastern Railroad into the coal
fields have now reached the
mouth of Kingdom Come, seven
miles below Whitesburg, and
unless something unforeseen
should occur the first trains
Will be running into Whites
burg within eight or ten days,
all told. The date of the com
ing OF the first train into the
city will be celebrated in grand
style, an attractive program
being now prepared. Thousands
of people will come to Whites
burg from the surrounding sec
tion and it will be day long
to be remembered. This great
coal field is receiving its awak
ening by the coming of the
railroad and millions of dollars
have already been expended in
developments. Just what the
future will show in develop
ments is hard to conjecture.

move that they will extend the
branch line of their road up to
this New Town if in return they
are assured of n certain number
OF enterprises being erected there

There are thousands of acres
OF land covered with the finest
of timber, such as oak. poplar.
maple, pine and cedar through
out the eastern part of the
county, that would be manu-
featured into lumber for export
which i'll itself would pay the
Norfolk and Western Company
to extend it's line TO the New
Town. The opening up and
development of this section
would mean much to the peo-
pie of the eastern part of Car

all the land lying Immediately
around Barker Mines belongs
to the Virginia Mining Compa-
ny, and no one can buy n foot
of it to set up any kind of bust
ness or enterprise. But should
the road run on up TO this New
Town, then there will be found
all the land for sale that is de-
sired.
Practically the whole eastern
section of this country and a
great part of Floyd county are
obliged to make Betty Baker
Depot their shipping point and
haul up the rough mountain
road to get to and from that
place. But with the station on
this side of the mountain would
make n vast difference in the
convenience and also consider
able increase in the amount of
