along the line of the St. Louis, Kennel
and Southern road. Up to yesterday,
Thursday, SO car loads had been
shipped. Track prices have ranged
from $50 to 800, an average probably
being $50. Returns from shipments
consigned this week have run from 800
to $S5, net; but most raisers prefer to
sell on the track. The melons are not

jolly affair and the guests all declared
the evening a complete success. Prizes

plays, etc.. until the midnight hour
came, when the happy party broke
up with regret and all went home to
rest, and purchauce to dream Of the
pleasures they had enjoyed.

"on the road" then, and his genial
temperament and versatility made him
a welcome guest everywhere. On his
return, after an absence of a quarter
of a century, his old acquaintance had
to only a friend here and
there. Many he had known in the
days had passed to the Great
