These long wasted wasps that
make you dodge by their impudent
disregard of your presence and that
live in little mud houses under the
roof, are good things to keep after all;
they live on flies and each one will
catch and eat or store away more of
the miserable insects in a day than
any patent trap that's going. Then
too, the "spindles' or .darning
needles" which can't "sew up your
ears" because they nave no needles or
yarn, ought to be let alone; their
chief table board is mosquitoes and
they are hearty livers.
The small boy and the colored
gentleman are in the height Of their
glory just now. Watermelons are
awfully and scandalouslv plenty and

supplied with gigantic melons weigh
ing from 70 to 80 pounds each that
can be purchased for only fifteen cents
apiece. just think of it, Fifty
pounds Of delicious, juicy melon for
only fifteen cents, The exceedingly
hot weather Of the past couple Of
weeks has materially FASTENED the
ripening process and hence has thrown
a vast quantity Of them On the mar
ket at one time. The opportune arri-
val Of heavy rains and cooler weather
will prolong the growth Of the vines
and the watermelon crop will last TN
/ til the frost comes.
