ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The Valdosta Times tells iu the fol
lowing interesting fashion of the early
days at melon growing.
The opening of the melon eeaeo
minded some old inhabitants yesterday
of the time, twenty-eight yean ago.
when the industry was first started.
B. Tally, of Ooaley, ia said to have beefc
♦he first real large grower of melons in
this section. Be planted so many more
than be could sell in the local market
that he pot them in an old-faidi
ootton proas and mashed the Juice oat of
thorn and used them for making syrup.
The next year be planted again and
lipped some to Savannah and received
fancy prices fur them, though the
freight was over twice what it is now.
A year or so later Oapc. George [B. Mc-
Bee shipped eqme to New York, though
it took them two weeks to reach their
deetijaliou. The earn had to be char
tered far the season, each shipper hav
ing hie car returned to him for urn.
Others began to raiae melons for ahip-
ent until the borinaa was largely
-erdooe. The shipments from Ooaley,
alone, reached thirty care a day and
Chough small fortunes had been made
out of the crop, much money was lost
when the market finally brok^from over
•uppiy.
The territory for pleating melons wid
ened on til the shipments went np into
the hundreds. Attention waa paid too,
to developing a melon that would do to
•hip, the thick rind Kolb Gem being
product of that idea. Cantaloupe ship
ments started on a large scale only with
in the past three or four vein.
In the early shipments the me
were loaded in layere in tha cars, with
■traw between each layer, hot now they
are shipped without much regard for
in.
It is mid that there will be about for-
ty oars of melons shipped from scat
oa the Valdosta Southern road, alone,
this season.

•The late Col John Cockerell in The
Cosmopolitan said “There arc three uni
que citiei in America, and one of these
is Salt Lake City.” It is not only uni
que in its temple, tabernacie and other
Mormon church institutions, but quaint
in appearance, with its wide streets, im*
raense blocks and martial rows of shade
trees. It bas, perhaps, more attractions,
to the square yard than any city in the
country. And its climate, while temper
ate all the year round, is particularly
delightful in summer. The Great Salt
Lake, with its magnificent Saltair resort.,
where the water is “deader and denser"
than that in the Dead Se«u* n Palestine
2 is an attraction in itself that people

Fishing and bunting can be had in every
