CEORCIA'S MELON CROP.
Its Marketing Seriously Interfered With
by the Tie-up.

ATLANTA, GA, July 2.-Georgia's
melon industry is suffering seriously from
the tie-up OF the western railroads. Chi
cago is the best distributing point the
on-growers have. Now they cannot get
a carload of melons into the western
market. The railroads have stopped
taking them for shipment. This cuts the
roads out OF large item OF revenue and
causes a heavy loss to the farmers, who
grow the crop extensively.

A rabbit had been caught in n

staid Abraham's hand. There was no
means of preparing it for food, how
ever. The pilgrim had the faith that
moves mountains. Planting his foot
in the yielding soil he stood up and
prayed for succor. A spring gushed
out, as the water did from the rock
when Moses smote it with his rod,
only this spring was of hot water.
The pilgrim slew aud cooked the rab-
bit. lie bathed his weary limbs in
the water which he caught in gourd
and then allowed TO cool, and then
