Speaking of that Trapp place,

it coming to my mind, reminds
me OF what | have heard preach
ers say in relation to the man
mentioned in the Scriptures who
could not attend the supper to
which he had been invited, be-
cause he had bought a piece of
land and must go and see it.
The preachers have said often in
my hearing in talking of this in
cident, who ever heard tell of
anyone buying a piece of land
before looking at it! 1t was a
mere excuse for non-attendance
at the supper" Well, when |
give you my experience in rela-
ton to this tract of land proba-
bly, you will say the preachers
were right. l got the Trapp
land from Lee Trapp, trading
him a fine tract of land at

Clayton, who was a good farm
er, to go and examine the Trapp
place for me. He went. and
came back wonderfully pleased
with the place, and advised me
to trade. Trapp exacted four
hundred dollars difference. and
my nephew was decidedly of the
opinion it was deserving. ANA
so without ever seeing the place
myself, | traded and gave nv
note for four hundred dollars
difference. So soon as | made
the trade, like the man in the
Scripture, | was very anxious to
see my land. Going one morn

fully over the land and buildings
pointing out the lines and cor

the starting point and l was
ready to start back home. Mr.
Trapp said, We'll, how do YOU

Trapp, | have given you my note
for $4,000 difference in the
lands. You make me a deed
back to my place and | will re-
convey this to you and pay the
$4,000 note. He said, "No, that
would not suit me-. Then |
said, We'll, I'll pay you $4,000
more for a cancellation of the
contract" But no, it did not
suit him. And | did not blame
him, for there was more differ
ence in their value than that.

to his home in this city for the winter.
has INDUCED quite extensively in the
cultivation of melons during the past
season and has made n success of the
venture. He has not raised any for
the market but had plenty for family
use. and is thinking seriously of en-
barking i'm the business on n larger
scale another spring. In speaking OF
the matter the other day he stated
that he raised not only musk melons
but also watcrmelons. The later mel
ons he planted down under the bank
near the shore of the lake, where the
ground thaws early and has the sun
nearly all day long, and where the vines
are protected from the cold winds and
the frosts of early springtime. The
melons were of good size and delicious
flavor and ripened as we'll as they do
in places farther south. Tho musk
melo:is were also very nice and ripened
even more throughly than those in the
markets.
