Where 10 Spend Sunday.

Where to spend Sunday. Wanted,
some cool, delightful place, free from
flies and dust, burning pavements and
red hot brick buildings. Well, there is
Bar Harbor; the Sunday excursions to
that watering place are in force. Then
there is an excursion to Lakewood and
Skowhegan. How is that? The new
Crescent park is giving delight to
many; you might take in the afternoon
concert there. The boats down river
will take very many to cool sea breeZes
and green trees. A sail in the naph-

delightful. Parties desiring to hire the
launch may do so.

THE WATERMELON.
Bio Red Fruit Is In Great Demand and Every
one is Enjoying II.

For some time the water melon has
been in the local markets. but it was not
until the recent hot weather that there
was any great demand for them. From
now on to the early fall Augusta people
will eat hundreds of the great fruit,
which. though it is supposed to be
special favoritc throughout the South, is
eaten throughout the northern states
with great relish.
Tradition and the comic artists have
made the watermelon the favorite fruit
of our colored brethren. and also have
caused the impression to go abroad that
white folks are unable to appreciate the
deliciousness and uneXplainable luscious
ness of the big. red. juicy product OF the
southern farms. Here in Augusta the
colored population is so small and the
sales of the fruit so large that 1t Is pos
