mahasIka Melons

Eddyyille Tribune: While 1t is a
little late for melons little melon
story of the Sand Ridge may be of
interest; John Barnett who is one of
the best melon editors on the ridge,
put in % acres the past season, from
this patch he sold so, 900 water melons,
besides many Thousand musk melons.
He MAI keted them princip ally in the
surrounding cities and received as
high as s32. 80 a wagon load for them.
The Eddyville melons are giving
Muscatine Island and other melons a
close chase for first place, and it is
probable that next season viii show
the largest acreage ever put in with
corresponding facilities for shipping
them.

WALKED IN SLEEP.
And Consequent Exposure May Prove
Serious TO Young Lady

What G beer Patriot: Miss Lizzie
Hutchinson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Everett Hutchinson, of near
Indianapolis, arose in her sleep We'd
nesday night, put on her shoes and
started out across the fields in the d.
rection of her sisters home, some ten
miles distant. tits not known at what
time she left the house, but search
ing party found her sitting on the
sunny side of hay stack over mile
from home at about O'Clock Thurs
day morning. She wore only her
night dress and was of course thor
oughly chilled from exposure. She
awakened when the searching party
found her and sustained serious
nervous shock at the realization of
her ondition which, together with
exposure will doubtless cause her a
sick spell.
The Hutchinson family had planned
to visit her sister, Mrs Frank Bass,
on New Years day and Miss Hutchi-
son had intended to go and remain
for an extended visit. The trip was
given up and it is the theory that she
went to sleep with this visit upon
her mind and in her sleep uncon-
sciously started to go to her sister.
The Hutchisons are among the best
families in Mahaska county and a
host of friends will earnestly hope
the young lady may not suffer any
serious consequences on account OF
her somnambulistic adventure.

one ton. The tones represented are
as follows:
Tenor bell, F.

Sixth bell, d.
Seventh bell, E fat.
Eighth bell, E.
Ninth bell, F.
Tenth bell, G.
| The news that the bells are to be-
received and hung in time for the
conservation of the church viii be
pleasing not alone to the members of
the parish but also to the people of
the entire city. The chimes are a.
memorial gift to the church by Mrs.
Alice Bennett, of this city, in memory
of her father and mother, Judge and
Mrs. M. T. Williams.
