The way some farmers have of rais>
ing watermelons and pumpkins in close
proximity to each other may be fine
thing on the pumpkins but it is ruinous
on the watermelons. The mixing of
the pollen fromthe blossoms materially
increases the size of the watermelon,
but the pumpking flavor doesn't add
much to the eating quality of the
melon.

his form somewhat bent with the weight OF

George w. Salter Lodge of Good
TemUlRrS,

Tie regular meeting of this flourishing
lodge was held last evening at Northeast
Temperance Hall, a large membership be-
ing in attendance. The influence exerted
and the good accomplished by this lodge is
really q wonder to even its most sanguine
members and friends, and proves beyond
doubt that the best portion of our commu-
nifty is educated to that degree upon the
temperance question that they are ready not
only to affiliate with, but to work earnestly
in an organization so admirably adapted for
the highest advancement of the temper
ance movement as is the order of Good
Templars, and of which order George w.
Salter Lodge is one of the most efficient and
thorough-going.
At the meeting last evening great
amount Of work was accomplished and the
liveliest interest manifested in the progress
of the cause. The erection of a building
more suitable for the purposes of the lodge
than its present quarters, which are rapidly
growing too small, and the establishment of
library and reading-room, have about been
determined upon by this lodge, and the en-
terprise having so excellent support and
judicious managers cannot fail to succeed.
A handsome set of regalia, far exceeding
any in this District in beauty and elegance,
has just been procured by this lodge. Sew
eral applicants for membership were elected
on last evening. After the close of the
business session, remarks were made by
Mr.. Kalstrom, G. w. G. T., and Mr.. J. A.
Bailey, of Perseverance Lodge, and the
choir greatly entertained the lodge with its
admirable singing. DR.. G. A. Norton is the
chief templar and Mr.. +. @. Gate is the
recording secretary of the lodge, and either
of these gentlemen will cheerfully furnish
any information desired regarding the
lodge.
