The Evening Post continues to stab
the Democratic nominee for Governor
of Ohio, because it says he favors
mixed schools. The school issue plays
a very Insignificant part in the Ohio
campaign, as the Post well knows,
but still it fires its arrows at Hoadley,
but praises Foraker, one of the most
bitter sectional Radicals. So far as
we are concerned the 0hioans may
have mixed schools, If they prefer
them, if they will only cease their war
on the South.

JUST now if a man wants to die
economically Macon, Georgia, is the
Mecca he should journey to. For some
time past the undertakers of that city
have INDUCED in spirited and acrimon-
ious competition. The result has been
to make many cautious people, who
were afraid to indulge in the throes of
of dissolution on account Of the ex.
pense attached, no longer timid.
Maconites can now hire a carriage for
a funeral at two dollars a clip, and
other expenses have been proper
tionately reduced. If any citizen
wants to treat a friend to funeral
obsequies Macon is the cheapest place
to set EN- up.

CLOSE OF the MELoN SEASON.

The Crop Good. shipments Fully az
Large as Last Year, and Growers
Satisfied.
This week will about wind-up the
watermelon season. Practically it is
ended now, but an occasional car load Is
still received. Throughout Georgia the
crop this year was good, and the returns
are said TO have been quite as large, If not
larger, than last year.
A gentleman we'll posted on the subject
said that the crop was an average one Of
fair quality. The railroads have not yet
obtained the figures as 10 the number
handled il is believed that il will reach
400 or 100 car loads. The Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway carried
about / 400 car loads and the Central at
least l,01.
The most Of the melons raised along the
line of the former road were shipped TO
Savannah and thence east to New YORK
and Boston. The fruit from the melon
growing country about Macon went next
The melons grown along the eastern part
of the CentraFs line came to savannah
and were shipped hence by steamers TO
Northern cities.
The early melons brought a good
price, but in the middle of the season the
market was glutted more than once and
the returns were proportionately small
One mlddleman IN South Georgia is re-
ported to have cleared $500 on the first car
load that he shipped, and for which he
received fancy price. On some of his
shipments, however, the same dealer did
not make expenses.
The Jersey melon ia now rpening. and
Is going into the Northern and Western
markets, although Maryland aud some
North Carolina melons are being shipped
in large quantities to the West.
The acreage along the Central railroad
was much larger this year than in 1884
while that in South and Southwestern
Georgia was about the same
The planters are not saying about
the result, but as they are not making
much complaint it is inferred that they
are pretty we'll satisfied. The result
along the Central will, it is said, do much
