me and cry over me and all that sort
of rubbish, don't you know"

THE WATSON MELON,

VH SSlN "IEONs
Seed grown for several years
and introduced by me is of
fered to the public in limited
quantities, as follows:
n h., 35c; u h., Csc; 1 lb.
$125.
Seed guaranteed pure and
from first hands. Address
w. A. WATSON, Thomson,
Georgia.
In offering this melon more exten-
sively to the public I desire to give
it's history. About eight years one of
my brothers (Thomas E. Watson)
friends sent him small package of
the seed and stated to him that he
called it the Watson melon. My
brother gave the seed to me, 1 planted
few hills the first year and was so
greatly pleased with the melon that
I planted about two acres in them
the following year, the yield and sales
were so satisfactory that l discarded
all others.
l have been raising melons for mar
ket the past thirty years, and I con-
slider the Watson melon the very best
that ever saw in every respect. 1t
grows larger, under the same circum-
stances, has fewer rotten ends, keeps
longer after getting ripe, is very solid,
for which reason it is a good shipper.
1t is, in my opinion, the best melon
ever put on the market, with deli
cious flavor that has no superior.

Mr.. Bryan is the most conspicuous
figure in American politics today. He
is more-he is World Figure. His
views on men and things are awaited
with interest in foreign countries as
well as at home. THE COMMONER
is his medium of communication with
the world; but it Is more than per-
sonal organ, for it covers the whole
realm of political thought. Hence, no
one, whether a follower or an oppo-
nent of Bryans doctrines, can fail to
be interested in the columns of this
