DISSATISFIED.

The collapse in the mel~n industry
this season has had any but an en-,
conraging effect uFon the growers.
They have spent their time and
their money on this crop, and have
experienced heavy losses. The At
lanta Constitution, commenting on
this condition Of affairs, saws;
Reports from Southwest Georgia in~
dictate a very intense feeling of dissat-
istaction among the melon men.
Tits claimed that the shipment of
melons this season has resulted in
dead loss instead ola profit. Commits
sion merchants in the northwest in
telegraphing for melons promised
good market, but in making returns
they say that when the melons arri-
we'd they found the market glutted.
One man shipped three carloads of
fine melons, and in return he receiv>
ed II cents!
The explanation was that railway
treighIs and commissions had eaten M
the money.
Now, it goes without saying that,
ii the railways and commission mer,
chants are going to charge up to the
full value OF melons, the shippers will
give up the industry and turn their
attention to something else.
BY next year it is to be hoped that
the railroads and commission men
will all become part Is to some
arrangement that will yield our pro
ducers at least moderate profit.
The state Of feeling among the
planters is decidedly against the future
culture of the melon. 1t is a crop
that has paid in the past and the gen.
eral feeling among tue growers the
past spring was that the crop had
been worked up to such point that
it would be profitable one. 1t has
been thought in this section that the
melon was fruit that is always IN de-
mand in the summer in the northen
markets. The gradual losses for toe
the past two or three years, ending
this summer 10 almost total loss to
the grower, has shaken his confidence
in this crop and he is now almost per-
suaded to abandon the culture.-Al.

Sells Her DangI,ter.

Mrs. Rebecca Wright, of Chattanooga,
Tennessee, sold her daughter Lizzie to
the proprietress of bagnio for $11.
Lizzie Wright was arrested on the street
drunk, and her mother refused to pay
the fine, but agreed that Alice Cooper
who conducts bagnio on Helen street
should have the girl if she would pay the
fine.
The stationkeeper refused to let her 90

took the money herself, and paid the fine.

A Noble WOn,au.

'There goes lady with the sadde.t
history in Memphis" said gentleman
on Main street recently, as a magnificent
blonde passed. The lady in question
appeared to be about 30 years of age, land
bore herself with a queenliness that Is
rarely seen. The gentleman continued:
Ten years ago she was betrothed to ms
magnificent specimen of manhood as
she is of womanhOod. He was wealthy.
and their devotion was the occasion OF
comment. A week before the marriage
was to have occurred the lady learned
that her mother had died in a mad-house
and that insanity was hereditary in the
family. She sent for her lover and broke
the engagement. He pleaded in vain.
She loved him too wen to chance sad.
ding him with an insane wife. Then.
too, she said, it would be crime for her
to risk the infliction of the doom that
hung over her on posterity So her low
en- went his way, broken-hearted. She
took up her joyless life and is living it
grandly. 1t must be torture to her 20
know that at any moment the doom NAV
fall, but she never shows it. She bears
herself as proudly as though life was
bright before her. 1t is the saddest
story | over heard. ~ Memphis Ava

1t is said that his DRY repeats il

pages for few fatts and sound tie
warning.
When Egypt went down three per
cent. of her population owned 95 per
cent of her wealth. When Babylon
fell two per cent. of her people OVID
ed all her wealth. When Persia fell
one per cent. of her population own

When Rome fell from the zenith
OF her power and greatness, 1900

In 1880 the capitalists of this coun.
try owned so per cent. of its wetltb,
In 1860, 65 per cent. of its wealth.
In 1880, rs per cent, and it is reas.
onably safe to predict that by the
close of the present century they will
own 80 per cent. of the total wealth

Are the American people prepared
