 The NEWS has 8 treat in store for it's readers. Mrs Lucia Dowd Smith has written an article for the NEWS, en- titled "Boston .'95." It gives a glympse of the international convention, but is devoted mainly to the historic places and scenes in and around Boston. The next issue of the NEWS will contain said article, and we bespeak for it a careful reading not only for it's enter- taining features but for its mine of in- formation. | Florida newspapers are bragging about the size of vegetables and fruit raised in Florida. They mention a watermelon of such size that when the ends of the melon were cut off and the inside of the melon scooped out, ten. year-old boy crawled through the open. ing. Very good, but it would have been a saving of labor to have let the boy eat his way through the melon. Again; said papers mention a peach, eight inches in diameter, which will be exhibited at the Atlanta exposition. Said papers carefully avoid stating whether the boy crawled through the peach; in fact if they mentioned the size of the boy the melon story might moi appear 80 large. Perhaps the frost which killed the orange crop also shriveled the size of said boy.
