F. & W. Ky., especially at the older shipping points, will ho short, though as the same cry has been heard so often lie fore, it is too early to make anything like a close estimate. Friccs so far have held up well, partly because the weather has been favora ble, and partly because shipments to any one point, have not been heavy enough to affect disastrously tlic mar kets. It is usually smooth sailing till the hulk of the crop comes on, and then comes the collapse. If, however, the Melon Growers Association and I he Exchange work harmoniously, aud arc properly supported by the grow ers, prices may lie held up. If Not, Why Not. The TiMiLs-K.vrKnrnisr: has several times spoken incidentally of the early closing movement being made a part of the summer programme in our city. The matter has not been rushed Into as enthusiastically as we could have wished, and we dare say the clerks of the city would echo the same thought. But seriously, this ,’uatter ought to engage the attention of our merchants. There is really no ri'ason our stores cannot close at 1; o’clock every afternoon, except Sat urday, till next August or September. The recreation that, merchants and clerks could secure thereby, would be both pleasant and profitable. We believe we can .-peak for the ladies of the city that they will so arrange their shopping that the early closing will not inconvenience them. Think about this matter, merchants, and we believe you will decide to close at fl and allow tin: clerks to get a little rest. County Court. In the county court yesterday morning, Silvia Jones, a colored woman who lives near Boston plead guilty to assault aud battery. Her offense was making an unprovoked assault on a white woman. She was lined S-10 and casts, or nine months by Judge Mitchell. A gentleman in Alexandria, Iv gypt, offers to sell to the directors of the World’s Fair in Chicago for §00,000 a sarcophagus containing the dust of Cleopatra. This wouldn’t bo exorbitant perhaps for a genuine live “Sorceress of tiie Nile,” but is pretty steep, says the Augusta Chron icle, fora handtul of dust, in a weatli- beaten eotlincr.
