The course of the democratic press
and leaders during the financial furry
is worthy of remembrance. l1stead
Of irving to make political capital
which would he very easy thing to
do under the circumstances, they have
done ell in their power to induce
c4lmnfss. Mr.. Bryan has everywhere
talked confidence aud hope. The con-
trast between these conditions and the
acts of some other parties in some
ether years is very noticeable.

IhiS Season.

The acreage planted in canteloupes
about Americus is much larger this
season than in any year previous and
considerable quantities of this delicious
fruit will be shipped to northern mar

have planted both canteloupes and
watermelons.
The vines, to an extent, were killed
by the freeze last week, but have been
replanted.
In adjacent counties, particularly in
Lee and Stewart, large fields are planted
in canteloupes and with favorable sea-

results.
