m as the strawlwrry gt ms out the Geor-
ale watermelon ». its in, and the Geor-
gia watermelon n as delicious as the
”Wherry. It is the state of Gei‘lrgia‘s
best gift to man. He who makes two
melons grow where one grew before is
the benefactor of his race.
The crop this year will not be quite so
large numerically as it was in l893. This
is owing to the dire frost that cut down
the young vines in April. Many farmers
were unable to get seed after that, and
eotheir melon crop was not rcplanted.
But the” who did replant were reward-
ed by uncommonly fine fruit. It seemed

' great crop of big melons on the stems
that were left. Last year it required the
poduct of 2.7M: acres to make a carlowl.
This year 2.50 acres will fill the same
car.
Southeastern Georgia is the home of
themelon. Last year the state shipped
Moorlands, and they nearly all came
from the southeastern portmn. Tm»
thirdsof these went Westward and one-
third eastward. Shipments begin ordi-
nerily about J nine 10.
Finally, it isexasperating to know that,
fine as are the Illvlnni-l the country in gen-
eral gets, Georgia always kwps her best
(mes for herself. They are so tender and
juicy that as yet no method of shipping
them successfully has been devised.

Household courtesy is the best of all

boys to raise their hats to friends in the

do not tail of refinement in the family.
This will not be brought about so easily as
by the courteous bearing of parents. Di-
rect orders are never necessary. It is as
easy and more effective to say, "Will you
please to carry this down stairs?" as to or
der it done. The politeness of the request
breeds a polite method of obeying. Mere
obedience is worthless. It only shows that
you have the brute force power to compel
your child to do as you ’d.

But, granting all this, we come backlr

Two miles south of Gaineevills is l
prairie. At certain seasons strangers
wonder why it is called a “prairie,"
fer they look out upon a broad stretch
of water so deep that storms churn its
surface into rolling white capped bil-
lows. At times the commerce of the
lake is done by steamer, while at other
times there is not water enough to float
a canoe. In fact, I have crossed the
prairie in the steamer and again have
gone over identically the same route in
a stage from whose wheels clouds oi
dust would roll. .
0n the edge of the prairie. half walled
in by rock, dense with immense frees
draped in long fostoons of moss, is a
pool of water called “The Sink. ” The
depth of it has never been sounded.
From this sink an underground river
flows and makes its way no one knows
where. Sometimes an acre or so of
land, trees and all. will fall into the
underground river, and then the drain-
age of the prairie is obstructed, and the
prairie “goes dry.” In a your or two
the river will have seeped around the
obstruction, and than the prairie “goes
wet." In the neighborhood of Gaines-
villo there are hundreds of the sinks,
all of. them as round as a dollar and
averaging from a quarter to a half acre
in extent.
North of Guinesvillo is a pretty and
mysterious spot called the “Devil's
Millhuppor. ” A large stream of water
comes down hill with considerable force
and disappears in a pool that has no
visihlo‘outlct. ‘ Near Brook-wills is an
other pool very similar to the “Devil’s
Millhoppcr. ” A stream of water pours
into it and disappears in a whirlpool in
the center. Throw a log in it, and it
will circle the pool many times, gradu-
ally drawing nearer to the center. Sud-
denly tho log disappears.
Sumo grcwsomo stories are connect
ed with the Brmksvillc pool. It is said
that the place is haunted, for the reason
that many a man, and Woman, too, has
mysteriously (lisapprnrod in it, never
to be heard of afterward. In the pioneer
days of that part of the country, so the
stt'lries go, there was a secret society
which washed all its dirty lincu in that
pool. In other wards, if a man or wom-
an gave grave offense to any members
of tho society, he or sin.- was gagged,
bound and in the darkness of night
thrown into the pool-Florida Times-
Union.
A mild mannered mun walked up

The man laid on innocent looking littlo

the. cage. Now, a monkey's curimity is
only oqunlvd by his avarice. Ho will
take anything in sight whether he wants
it or not. So tho ring tailed resident of
tho mun lmlli this roll in. At first it
was not pussillll‘ to ma what he had no
quirod, but in an instant the mystery
was solved.
Ho plum-d it once to his mouth and
took a generous bite. It proved to be a
socondhaml piuco of chewing gum. As

just enough sugar in tho pasty stuff to
