'EADA1Ts' DIGGINGs."

An adventurous miner of Kings
ton is credited with having at last
struck the famous "Adams Dig
gings." He was prospecting at
one OF the extreme northern forks
of the ella, when he came upon
an old cabin, which had the APP
pearence Of having been deserted
for years. Looking farther, he
found some old sluice boxes. with
the wood work almost entirely rot
ted away, and an old shovel, OF
which the handle had almost en-
tirely disappeared. He began to
search for gold, and soon found
that he could wash out the yellow
dirt, in big paying quantities. Fix
ing the location of the discovery so
that he could not miss it. he re
turned to Kingston, sougth his part
ner, and communicated the i'm
portant intelligence. They let a
few others into the secret, and the
entire party started out from
Kingston. last week, confident
that they would open up the big
gest gold camp in the country.
Teams are now constantly en-
gagged in hauling ore from the
Montezuma mine in Cooks range,
to the Ivanhoe smelter at San Jose.
The ore averages 10 per cent lead,
and is the best iuX yet found in
southern New Mexico. There are
about 1000 tons on the Dumps,
and fully 5000 tons more blocked
out in the mine, which can be rails
ed for 80 cents per ton. Aside
from its linking qualities the ore
runs about ten ounces in silver to
the ton. The Montezuma is one
of the finest properties in the coun-
ty.
Gross output of the Tombstone
tor June was $751; 100.

The celebration Of the sesqui-

at Savannah is reported as having
been grand success. The city
was overwhelmed with visitors,
and the military display is said to
have been the most imposing ever
Witnessed in the state. Gov.
Stephens was on hand and deliv-
cred the address Of the occasion,
which consisted in review of the
facts that attended the first settle
ment Of Georgia. Probably the
most interesting feature of the oc-
casion was the landing of General
Oglethofpe and the mother colony,
which took place on Monday, the
first day.

Discussing the question: "Does
whiskey help trader the Balm
bridge Democrat has the follow
ing: Several years ago, after a
hot contest, liquor was routed out
OF the town of Carrolton, of this
State. 1t was freely asserted and
believed that the prohibition of
whiskey would damage the trade
OF the town, and many voted to
sustain their convictions in this
respect. Mark the result. On
the day of the election Carrollton
did a business of 100000 per an
mum. To-day her trade amounts
to 100000; and the sale of liquor
could not be re-established in that
town under any circumstances.
And all over the State where pro
hibition prevails the same result
Is attained. Common sense. If
seems to us, shows that when vice
and intemperance are 'scotched
prosperity and happiness must
increase" -

land is laid off. Some thought ten
feet wide enough apart for the
hills, while others advocated from
IL to IA feet. Those who advo-
Gated the wider squres contended
that, while the yield per acre
would not be SO heavy, the differ
ence would be more than made up
In the size of the melons. The
mode of cultivation is very simple.
The land is laid off into squares,
and in the centre of each square is
deposited enough seed to insure
good stand. The hills must be
made very rich, and stable or lot
manure is the most desirable,
though we heard of some who US
ed guano almost exclusively. The
cultivation is all done with a pillow,
and the vines are disturbed as lit
tie as possible after they begin to
run.
AN ESTIMATE OF THE SEASONS
MELON CROP.
AT the convention on Saturday
there We're seven counties repre-
scented, viz: Lowndes, Brooks,
Thomas, Mitchell, Decatur, Dough-
erty and Lee, and from those pre-
sent it was estimated that 1000
acres will be planted in melons
alone in these seven counties this
season. Thirty-fve hundred acres
will be planted in Lowndes coun-
ty alone. Placing the estimate at
the very lowest yield that has yet
been obtained by those engaged in
the industry-1.000 to the acre
this will make a crop Of 100000
melons ia this section this year.
At the lowest average net price
received for last years crop-S15O
per car load this will bring into
the counties above named during
the months of June and July the
snug sum Of 81, 05O,000 for melons
alone. The crop shipped from
Valdosta and Quitman last year
Melted about 100000.
ABOUT OVERPRODUCTION.
No fears seem to be entertained
by those who have been engaged
IN melon growing for several years
past that there will be too big a
crop made. Indeed, they say that
the demand has been steadily in
creaslng every year, and that the
market is gradually widening.
Last year they sent their melons
farther North than they had ever
sent them before, and wherever
they have been introduced thew
have increased in demand and be-
come standard commodity. It
IS with the Georgia melons like it
IS with the Florida oranges-the
market is widening every season
and the demand is constantly in
creasing. People North, South,
East and West now look for Flor
ida oranges and Georgia melons
every season who never knew what
they were until a few years ago.
Instead, therefore, of trying to dis
courage others who go to make in
quiry about the melon business,
those who are engaged in it, ex-
tend every encouragement to their
neighbors to embark in this vet
lnclpient industry.
IRISH POTATOES.
The Irish potato has been found
to be another very profitable crop.
We found that those who planted
them on an extensive scale last
year made from 80 to 70 barrels
per acre, which Melted them from
50 to 81 per barrel. Nothing is
more savory than a young and
tender Irish potato, and the de-
mand for them last year was good
where they were introduced in the
Northern markets at least two
month ahead of the New England
crop. They are shipped either
IN flour barrels or in crates made
of light material.
The Tale of The False Teeth.
False teeth may tell lies in quiet
