PATTOJWFALL WEDDIRK
Prom Tuesday’s Daily Herald.
There has been a marked improve
ment in the oonditlon of the watermelon
and can talon pe crops in this section dur
ing the last ten days.
Up to tho 16th inststat the melon stated'that the president wilt’not only-
growers were about the bluest set of men press-on congress the neoessMyfor rati-
to be found in these parts, and their do- ''
spondenoy was npt to be wondered at,
in view of the unpromising oonditlon of
their vines. Between the heavy rains,
wind) hail and sand storms, the vines
were in a oonditlon oousidered deplora
ble, and n vpry small crop was looked
forwasd to. • . .»■ ■ l > I oxiim
i The last-fe'w days, however, have will
nessed a marked improvement in the
oondition.of. the vines. More fruit hop
been brought forthinnder tho influeuoc
of the warm, steady sunshine,' und the
Vines are all 1 flourishing ina veiy grati
fying mtmner. , ^orneofthegrowersare
really,. euthusiastio,,qTer the outlook,,so
greatly has it improved within the past
fortnight.
It is probable that the first oar load of
cantaloupes will be shipped from Albany
on Friday. Several of the growers who
.have large pkwtinga near. the oity will
combine, and,,by taking tjje,.ripest mel
ons from tbeir vines make np a fall oar.
Next week, shipments well become gen
eral. The first car of watermelons from
this point will also probably go forward
this week. No, single grower will be
able to make a shipment, bnt, like the
oantaloupe men, several will combine to
make up a oar.
By tbe last ot next week watermelons
and cantaloupes, from all over this sec
tion will bo moving northward. The-
growers are unusually sanguine, for*
while their orops are short as oompared
with past years’, prices are expeoted to
be better. i
There is no general idea among tho
growers as to the manner of disposing
of their crops. Some will seUtoQom-
nission booses in the fields or an' the
tracks, while others iwlll ship. to. the
markets, “on their own hook’’ andttake
ohunces of finding ready sale. Antons
grower expressed it, “We ore in the
market for the best thing that-comes
along. If we can sell for satisfactory
prices at home, we will do so. If, we
oan’t, we will ship.”
TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
latest News From West Virginia Flood Is
Appalling.
Riohmoud, June 25.—Tho latest news
from the flood district describes the
havee as most appalling. Homeless and
hnngry women and children are exposed
to elements and wandering through tho
moan tains crying for relief. The sick
are without medical attention or food
and the dead ate left uaburied. Only
quick relief can prevent heavy mortality
among the helpless sufferors. Near
Keystone, in the Elkliorn- Valley, a
graveyard was carried away by the
flood. 1
The services which are being con-,
ducted by Mias Emma Tucker at the
Presbyterian church every afternoon at
6 o’clock for 1 men only are growing in
interest, and the congregations which
assemble in that church every afternoon
to hear this consecrated little Christian
woman discourse qn the love of Ohtist
for sinners is most gratifying in point of
numbers, and much good is being ac
complished.
