al Rip WatermeIon Crop.

From the meager reports received
from the watermelon districts the
crop promises we'll The vines have
spread out, almost entirely covering
the ground, while from under the
dark green leaves peep thousands
of melons. The season is ten days
late, but much of the fruit has
about attained its full size. The
rains of the past week were general
throughout the state and were quite
beneficial to the vines. Shipments
will begin about June 20. The Sa-

loads during the season. Each car
is supposed to average not less than
!, 900 melons. The crop along the
line of the Central railroad is report
cd to be much larger than ever be-
fore. Farmers along its line have
been increasing their acreage for
three or four years past, and this
year it is much greater than usual.

The COIOred Race.

Rev. DR.. Allen made a statement
in the Presbyterian general assem-
bly,, in session in Cincinnati, show
ing the increase of the colored pop
ulation since the war. Here is a
few of his significant facts: Twenty
years ago, at the close OF the war,
there were in the southern states
3,947,0 colored people, and now
there are more than 100000. Then
there were in Mississippi 100000
negroes, now 100000. Then there
were in South Carolina 40O,OoO,now
more than 100000. Five hundred
colored babies are born in the Unit
ed States daily. The colored popu-
lation of the United States doubles
every twenty years; the white pop
ulation only once in 80 years-eight
years will not have passed before
the negroes will be in numerical
majority in some of the southern
states. At the present rate of in
crease in 1885 there will be $4,000,
900 white people in the United
States and l92,O00.000 colored,

Gen. Grant, in his forthcoming
beck, tells this story of Gen.
Bragg: 81 have heard a story in
the old army very characteristic of
Bragg. On one occasion, when
stationed at a post of several com
panies, commanded by a field Off
Ger, he was himself commanding
one of the companies, and at the
same time acting post quartermas-
ter and commissary. He was a
first lieutenant at the time, but the
captain was detached on other du-
W. AS commander of the company,
he made a requisition upon the
Observation-Disclosures some
thing he wanted. AS quartermas-
ter, he declined to fill the requisi-
ton and endorsed on the back of it
his reason for so doing. AS com
pany commander he responded to
this, urging that his requisitiOn call
ed for nothing but what he was en-
titled to, and that it was the duty
of the quartcrmaster to fill it. The
quartermaster still persisted that he
was right. In this condition of at
fairs Bragg referred the whole mat
ter to the commanding officer. The
latter, when lac saw the nature of
matter referred, said "My God, Mr..
Bragg, you have q uarreled with eve
ry officer in the army, and now you
are quarrehng with yourself"

Notification Of the People Of Kedron.

Kedron's situation, advantages,
and undetermined you tbs that sur
round this quiet little community,
prompts me to present an article to
the CITIZEN which / deem q mere
notice to the people of Kedron on a
long neglected but most i'm
portant subject-educatio of your
children. 1 have labored under the
impression for many years that
some eloquent and encouraging
person would make an effort to
arouse the people of this place and
stir up a good school, but it seems
that no one has yet mentioned such
thing; still every citizen here will
acknowledge the duty that is upon
them. You may be in sore need of
milk COW but unless you make
preparations to own her you never
will. To do is to act and to act you
must be personally interested and
especially in the Gauss of education.
AS to good minds, this vicinity will
compare with anything; but as to
actors, we have something like
knurl, and in conclusion | will say
to the best of my knowledge theirs
not q community in south Giles
that denies the contributions of her
privileges anymore than Kedron's.
That [ may not incur a too severe
identification allow me to state that
we have no one here who would put
forth any entrenchment or mutiity,
against the cause of education; still
it seems that we are getting consid-
cradle behind with this needful
work. Education comes under the
head of herring property. Suppose
every family of this place owned
farm in Florida at a cost OF much or
little, as they are the heads of intel !
lectual families, Wonld they not be
continually trotting down to Flori |
da 10 see after their farms? OIL
course they would manifest a great
deal of interest in those farms.
Why? Because they have chill dren !
end some day when their heads are
laid beneath the sod they will heir
it. Why not secure good schools
and manifest as much interest in
educating your children as in those
farms? Now the question arises,
will educating your children do
them as much good in after years
as to heir this property It GER
talnly viii. Empty heads invaria
bly, make empty pockets besides a
long intolerance of every day bur
densi moreover it is showing your
children little more respect. To
do them justice you have to let
them heir education In proportion
TO wealth. What we need and what I
we must have is a good school at
,he Smith institute. It's true we
are surrounded by very good
schools and those that are able can
send their children to college. but
here are so many that are not able
and it's the duty of those that are
n good circumstances to WELD
heir influence over a community
md encourage the cause of educa
ion at home, so that those that are
lot able to favor their children !
ly colleges may not totally BIO de-
1riYed of schools. Let's wake up
md employ a good teacher, one {
hat can teach any study, and have
light or ten months school here
lext year. Commence considering
he matter at once. We can en-
hoy a teacher for so much and put
n the public funds as part pay and
make him do his duty. II.
