The Acworth editor was invited last
Saturday by clerk in one of our stores to
participate in IL watermelon feast, and as
the clerk was quite busy at the time, he told
the editor to cut it open. The editor pounced
upon the fine looking melon with a cheese
knife and his mouth watered at the luscious
feast in store for HIM. He sawed away on
the melon and it seemed to be as tough as
a clearinghouse beef steak He labored
and perspired and was about to call in the
services of drill and dynamite cartridge,

efforts. One mouthtul of it was sufficient
