Several Cars of Fine
Watermelons Loaded
Several caus of fine watermelons
were loaded here Tuesday and Wed
nesday. Mr. Dan Palmer topped the
list with the highest average melons
and also with the highest price re
ceived. Mr. Palmer loaded a car of
38-pound average melons and receiv¬
ed $350 for the car on the track here.
Other cars of smaller melons sold at
from $150 to $250 per car. Among
those loading melons were Griner &
Brooks, E. T. Cochran, U. U. Camp¬
bell, L. V. and J. M. Harrison, Elias
Rackley and G. B. Baggs. The grow¬
ers seemed to be having some diffi¬
culty in selling their melons on the
track, due to the scarcity of buyers.
A11 of those loading here are inde¬
pendent growers. The acreage in
Mitchell county is small this year and
some of the melons are late on ac¬
count of dry weather.
Mr. John L. Stripling, of near Ca
milia, loaded two cars of melons Tues¬
day at another shipping point which
he soid for $650. Mr. G. M. Cochran,
of Flint, loaded three cars of melons
. , , , ,
‘
ceived , , an even $1,000 •P 1,UUv for . the three
cars, his best car bringing $350
Mr. J. C. Moore Makes
First Tobacco Sale
The first sale of tobacco made from
tha—1925 crop announced in Camilla
was made Saturday by Mr. J. C.
Moore of Bethany community. Mr.
Moore had just finished curing his
first barn, which consisted of sand
lugs or first picking which is usually
the poorest of the crop. Mr. Moore’s
tobacco looked so good that his dem¬
onstrator, Mr. Gibson, offered him 20
cents per pound for it and Mr. Moore
accepted his proposition. There was
300 or 400 pounds in the lot. Mr.
Moore has three and one-half acres in
tobacco and those who have seen it
pronounce it among the best in that
section of the county.

Musical Comedy
Pleases Audience
The musical comedy, “Marjorie,
played to a full house Tuesday night
at the opera house and the entire au
dience demonstrated the /fact that
they enjoyed the play to the fullest
extent by their laughter, applause
and praise of the whole play.
Fun reigned supreme from the time
the curtain rose on the scene about
the village postoffice at Osh Kosh to
the singing of the last chorus by the
entire company. One ridiculous sit
uation after another kept the au
dience convulsed as they followed the
breezy little comedy through to the
usual happy ending. The acting was
especially good throughout. Mr. Max
Berman as the village “constabule,’
made a complete hit with the au
dience. Miss Virginia Davis played
the part of the heroine, Marjorie
Brooks, and her beauty, grace clever
acting and singing captivated every
one. Prof. E. Hac-kett, Jr., as the lead
ing man, Dick Darrell, did some clev
er acting and singing that won much
applause. His pal, Mr. Laurier Bush,
was another good actor and Mr. Wil
liam Fleming as the village shylock
was indeed fine. Mrs. C. H. Taylor
as the widow Brooks, Mrs. O.
Swindle as the stranded tourist lady
and Miss Maggie Griner as the “con
stabule's” wife were all *gpod, and of
the sepulchrfrKsanctimoniousness
Messrs. Bill Fry and Atwood Coch¬
ran as the deacons of the Sisters of
Sophronia added largely to the fund
of laughter. Musty and Dusty, two
witty, shiftless tramps were imper¬
sonated by Messrs. Carroll Spence
and A. J. Pinson, claiming a high
share of praise as stars in the everf
ing’s performance and displaying
rare ability as comedians.
The music was one of the largest
drawing cards of the show. A num¬
ber of late songs, bright and snappy,
interspersed the program. The chor¬
us was supported by some forty or
fifty of the college contingent, their
youthful grace and spirited singing
providing the indispensible quality
needed to make a big hit. There
were seven or eight complete changes
of costume and all were rich, beauti¬
ful and effective. A four piece or¬
chestra with Miss Lulawill Brown as
piano accompanist gave some excel¬
lent instrumental music all through
the play, which was equally enjoyed
with the other features.
The proceeds of the play went to
the benefitlof the Camilla High Sehob!
Athletic Association, a very worthy
cause. To Mrs. E. Hackett, Jr., and
Miss Mabel Hartley goes the praise
for their diligent and efficient efforts
in getting together the production
and training the cast.

ing the day to result in large profit

F0R A happier country
Nearly every spring we hear pleas¬
ing reports of neighbors coming to
father and planting or cultivating
the crop of a sick friend. Some
neighbor has fallen ill and so has
been unable to get his farm work
done, whereupon some good Samari¬
tan with enterprise enough to take
the lead invites all the neighbors to
come together on a' certan day and
put l/ut the viic man’s mau » farm tax m in tti shape. This aius
is one of the finest examples of
borliness that we know of, and every
body ought to welcome an opportuni
ty to be of such assistance to a friend

Coming now to some opportunities
f or recreation and social life on the
f arrrl( one’s thoughts turn naturally
j- 0 f iS hing trips and fishing parties,
; s unfortunate that our country
folks are very largely turning over
couri try sports to city people. The
f armer w ho works hard through the
y eaT j s certainly entitled to some time
f or recreation, and fishing and hunt¬
ing are the logical and

tunity to enjoy them should be a part
of the heritage of every farm boy.

j us t as far as possible, the social
activities of a country community
ought to be held at the schoolhouse
as the logical “community center.”
It is an excellent thing for each school
to have its own baseball team and for
this sport to be continued on the
school grounds on Saturday after¬
noons after school closes. “My boys
certainly work better all through the
week since I began giving them Sat¬
urday afternoons off for baseball,”
.one farmer told us some time ago, and
many other fathers have no doubt
had the same experience’.
Nearly every town of any size now
has its swimming pool, and probably
no other form of recreation has grown
so rapidly in popularity these last
five years. Here again there is no
reason why country people should not
make greater use of a natural coun¬
try sport. More families might well
do what two or three families of kins
people whom we know have done.
They have built a couple of bath¬
houses, one for the men and one for
the women, on the river’s edge, and
often go there during week-ends, with
their bathing suits, and have more
fun than any similar group of towns¬
people have at their expensively built
“swimming pools.”

It is none too early to begin mak¬
ing plans for summer picnics and va¬
cation parties. Of course, family pic-

nics are always in order, and any
family haring a car will find it worth
while to have a picnic supper qut in
the woods or by some riverside or
.creekside once every week or two.
For larger picnics the best agency of
direction and control is usually a Sun¬
day School. Every Sunday school
ought to try to have at least one pic¬
nic a yeaT.

“Agricultural - -o —- -— excursions” grow
steadily in favor year after year.,On
these excursions any number of far¬
mers—six, ten,.twenty, fifty or a hun¬
dred or more—get together under
their own leadership or the leader¬
ship of the county agent and make an
automobile tour. Usually they visit
some noted farm or farming commun
iyt or farm enterprise in an adjoining
county or more distant county. In
other cases such parties are organiz¬
ed to attend the annual meeting of
the state farmer’s convention or state
farmer’s institute. It is none too
early farmers in any community to
consider whether they might not fol¬
low the example of other progressive
communities in this respect.—Clar¬
ence Poe, in The Progressive Farmer.
