Ripe Watermelons.
*+%%

The first watermelon came with
several growers the past week,
though we think our friend A. S.
Ruggles got in just little ahead,
having three very nice ones for
sale on Saturday last, June %.
Mr.. Ruggles used the fertilizer
formula proposed by the expert
ment farm, to which, with special
care and good seasons,h he attributes
his success in getting ripe melons
earlier than ever before.
The fruit editor of the FREE
PRESS was "nosing" around with
friend S. W. Thomas on Monday
afternoon and found him very
busy gathering cukes, watering
tomato plants and looking over his
two acres of ROCKFORD canta-
loupes. He also had ripe water
melons for Sunday, and altogether
has model farm. Mr.. Thomas
made the remark to the aforesaid
F. E. that his income from pea
vine hay, the peas now being
planted, would amount to as much
as that from his cantaloupes.

An Historic Gavel.
%%X.%

Edwin Long, Of Carthage, has
gavel made from the root of the
tree to which the horse of Corn
wallis was tied, with handle made
from the native pine. This tree
is an old member of the North
Carolina forest still standing near
the town of Carthage. As Corn
wallis as commander of the South
ern army surrendered to the Fran
CO. American troops in Oct, 1881,
after winning in the battle with
Gen. Gates at Camden in 1880,
and then at the battle of Guillord
Courthouse in 1881, there is con-
siderable history connected with
it. Mr.. Long is going to present
this gavel to the Republican State
Convention at Greensboro August
Goth, 1902, and although its his
tory will prove Of much interest,
it's size very accurately indicates
the dimensions of the Republican
party in North Carolina-lt is ex
tremely small. As Mr.. Long has
been lifelong Republican, and a
man of pronounced views on
questions Of Importance, we are in
hopes that its reception by his
party will be cordial enough to re-
nav him for his time and trouble.

Bows. Feb. 17.-Mrs. S. j. Mendell,

born in New York in April 1924 She

prominent Congregational minister of
that state. She was a skilled musician

Menden, and for time accepted his at
tentions, but later she married Giles
Cornwell. One son. DIR. b. C. Cornwell,
of st. Paul, survives as the result of
this union. Meantime Mr. Mendell also
married and came to Iowa. In 1887 Mr..
Cornwell and Mrs Mendell, both being
dead. correspondence began, renew
ing old-time memories, and resulting in
their marriage in June, 1887, since
which time she has lived on the farm
one mile from Bows. On June Is, 1901,
while going to town In buggy, the
horse became frightened and she was
thrown from the buggy and dragged
ior a distance. AS result she has
been as helpless as an infant until re-
lieved by death on Feb IA. In these
nine helpless months it was pathetic to
see the affectionate care given her by
the colonel, who scarcely left her side
night or day. The funeral took place
on the Sabbath at p. M. services in
charge of her pastor, the Rev. ]. r.

Burial was in Mount Hope.

Des Moines Man Hears From His
Father After Thirty-five Years Abb
sence.

| Special to mes-Republican.
/ DeS Moines, Feb. 15.-The sensation
a man feels on learning that his father
whom he has supposed to be dead for
thirty eight years, is alive and well
and anxious to be placed in communi-
cation with him, may better be imag-
! ined than described. A Des Moines
man, Horace Massey colored has just
Learned that his father, whom he
thought dead for almost forty years,
| is living and is now waiting in a state
of nervous anxiety to hear from him
He never knew his father except as
he was told of him by others.
Thirty-eight years ago when the war
of the rebellion began, and the aid of
the liberated negroes of the southern
states was invoked for many branches
of army service for which they We're
fitted, Mr.. Horace Masseys father left
his home in Nelson county, Virginia,
and followed the northern army into
Tennessee. He was heard from at in
tervals until the close of the war, OF
just before its close, when his wife
was informed that he had been killed.
AS he did not return at the close of
the war, and nothing further was
heard from him, the report was ac-
cepted as true. and after many years
his wife married again. The family
separated and some of the children
drifted west. Horace came to Iowa,
and has spent god share of his life
in this state.
His cousin, Henry Jet, cook in the
Slavery cafe, recently received a let
ter from his mother. Massey's aunt
written from Virginia, telling him that
Mr.. Massey. Sr, had been heard from.
and that If Horace would write to his
mother at Greenfield, Nelson county,
Va. she would send him his fathers
The letter also states that
Mr. Massey has acquired considerable
in the years in which his
family have supposed him dead, and
a part of this he desires to turn over to
Horace. The latter has written to his |
mother, and will await letter from
his father with the greatest impa-
tience. Horace Massey is night cook
at the Oxford cafe.
