Some thirty years ago Washington got its
principal supply OF melons from the neighbor-
hood Of Onancock. Their cultivation declined
under competition from the south and other
localities and now but few are raised for .ex-
portation. The favoritc watermelon here is the
Mosque Isle, but tho rind is too thin for trans
portation.
Soon after the war strawberries in the same
locality were probably and largely cultivated,
but that industry also declined under the COM
petition of Norfolk and surroundings.
OF raspberries the black caps seem to do the
best here, though some red ones are grown.

The hog. the great American hog, never struck
me as specially interesting study. l know
very little about him, except that he is boss of
the road here. He takes his station in the
middle of the road, just AS he does with you III
the street car seats. l recognize the self-same
hog here and there.
1t is not considered good form to drive over
him; you must 60 around him or await his
pleasure to move, which he does when he is
ready, with grunt, still further characteristic
OF your city hog.
Still, it is customary for every good farmer
to raise his own hog meat, and hogs roam at
will, and outer fences must be horse high, bull
strong and pig-tight.

EDIToR News: No person respects
the opinions of others or delights In
having the world think for itself more
than myself. In fact my highest aim
In life has been TO teach others 10
think for themselves.
| But when we see statement made
as fact which possesses not even the
shadow of truth and a constant re-
petition of which has q tendency 10
corrupt the morals of tho younger
members of society, deem it the duty
of someone to come to the rescue TO
refute such sophistries. We hear 1t
stated again and again that the pres
ent prosperity of our town is due TO
the presence Of several original pack
age houses or '.joints" as they are call
ed, which have been permitted to
flourish in our midst.
Now, / would like to ask my read
ers what are the real facts in the case,
what are the true causes of our pres
ent prosperity? Let me state them as
they occur to me, and 10 every right
thinking person.
l. During the past year the farmer
has received higher price for his
produce than during The four proceed
ing years. A single farmer has sold
five hundred bushels of potatoes for
almost as many dollars.
2. The merchants Of the place have
done more 10 induce the farmers 10
come 10 Baxter Springs the present
season by Offering them u market for
their produce. 1t is fact that many
articles raised by the farmer finds a
better market here than in Galena or
Joplin.
3. The high price of hay the past
year and the large amount baled in the
territory and shipped from this place,
has called a larger number OF work
men to that industry.
4. We have a Furnishing mill and
a manufacturing company, with capt.
tai behind them which must, perforce
exert an influence in the growth and
prosperity of the town.
5. We have many added Temperate
ly to our population, viz: those who
are waiting in the hope of securing a
home in the territory.
6. The very sickly seasons witness.
ed by Galena and Joplin have induced
several 10 take advantage of the love
~ no me sites our city affords.
There are many other causes. each
adding its mite TO produce the effect
falsely laid 10 the door of vile traffic.
Let us think fairly upon this SUBJ
Iject-give il at least the bene fit of an
unbiased judgment for the future good
name of Baxter Springfield Oul
mistakes betray us into line of &C
ton ruinous alike 10 business and
morals. That open or covert viola
tions of the laws OF the United States
and Kansas have succeeded in spite OF
opposition. and co-incidental with the
present state of business revival, is tic
sign that the former is to be credited
with even u 1.-THE of the fact.

The distention of the stomach which
many people feel after eating, may be
due to improper mastication of the
food; but, in most cases, it indicates a
weakness of the digestive organs, the
best remedy for which is one of Ayers
Pills, to be taken after dinner.
