I am troubled every year more or less with bugs on young watermel- on plants; can you, 01 some of the readers of your valuable journal, tell what will destroy them, or how to keep them off?—W. K. A., Greeuesboro, Ga. Answer.— The most effective remedy for this insect is a frame covered with mosquito netting put over the plants. But this is a troub¬ lesome arrangement where melons are cultivated on a large scale. I)us- ting the plants with Paris green or London purple may be resorted to with good effect. One of either to twenty-five parts of flour.—South¬ ern Cultivator. “CHILD OP TIIK CONFEDERACY.” [To Miss Winnie Davis, in behalf of the Floyd Hides, of Macon.] From the Sumter Republican. Fair daughter of a kingly sire. Cradled amid tho fiercest lire Of battle’s stern array; Thy lullaby the cannon’s roar, Or war note wild of those who wore That stainless garb of gray. Too young to hear the mournful knell, Or feel the shook when Richmond fell, And all our hopes went down; But now the purest, brightest gem, In nil that glittering diadem That forms the Old Alan’s crown! Each fragant Georgian breeze that sweeps Adown our rugged mountain steeps. And from the sunlit sea Bears blessings on the love and truth Of his old age and thy bright youth From Southern chivalry. The memories of these valiant men Turn hack to that dark season when, In chains, the conquering powers Bore our loved leader far away; But oh! wc bring him Lack to-day In fetters formed of flowers. Fear not toelaspeach tough brown hand, For Gu y sre noble great and grand, These Veterans of the war. i Each grasped a gun or sabre hilt, The fruit of many a bloody ttlt, Each bosom bears a sear. With Stuart’s peerless Land they hied, Or marched where Stonewall Jackson led His oft victorious host, And wept with Lee in dark defeat, When each man, rather than retreat, Fell bledingat his post. Unflinching they bore the brunt Of war along the battle’s front, In those wild times of strife; And for each thread of silver, now, That glistens on thy lather’s brow, These men would pawn a life. A mighty people, proud and free, To Georgian soil we welcome thee, Storm cradled child of Mars! These guns of joy—the same that boomed Hound thee, most precious hud that bloomed Beneath the Stars and Bars. A thundering chorus, welcoming ' ^ To fold thoe in her amis! Mostoomeky M. Folsom.
