Just at this time if you have a
dollar and don't know what to do
with it, send it to the flood sufferers
on the Little Kanawha. The dis
tressing part of their condition is
their disaster coming SO close on the
heels of the Johnstown flood, caus-
ing lack of interest and sympathy
for the sufferers of our own State
They need the money, though, and
need it bad.
Judging from the appearance OF
the melon fields on the broad Letart
bottoms, the melon outlook for this
year is not flattering. Melons from
that locality are usually in market
the latter part of July, but it is safe
to presume that none will be shipped
for several weeks to come.-Raeine
