WATERMELON DAY I'M WILCOX.

Recently the citizens of WillcoH and of that part of the Sulphur Springs valley tributary to that town had a holiday which brought out the entire population of that part of Co chise county. The holiday was an nounced for days in advance of its coming and it was brought about as a means of advertising the fact that the Sulphur Springs valley is not sur passed as a producer of melons oy any country under the shining sun For several weeks in advance the ex' act date of ''Willcox Watermelcn Day'' had been heralded far and near. The Wilcox News took the occasion as fitting time to publish a special edition of that paper. PIG lures of Henry Morgan, John F Crowley. Larry McCourt and a few more of the town dignitaries appear ed on the first page and the balance of the edition was devoted to re counting what had been accomplish ed in an agricultural way in the VI cinity of willcox.
 Advertising buttons had been pro yided for the occasion, each bearing the picture of huge watermelon and the name of some enterprislns merchant of Wilcox.
 Watermelon day in Wilcox VIII long be remembered. It brought to the sidewalk of the one business street more than eight tons of home grown watermelons, ranging in size from five to fifty pounders. With the melons appeared every butcher knife in the town and every inhabi' tant. Those who were at the feast say that the slaughter of the melons was a sight to see. From the VIII COX hotel on the west to Crowley s lumber yard on the east was mass of melon hungry humanity unequaied in the history of Arizona.
 During the feast the old timers, and there are many of them in Will COX, indulged in stories of the carly and stirring times of that town. John F. Crowley declared that the first watermelon he ever tasted in Wilcox cost him s2 and that 1t was shipped into the country from some point in Texas. Larry McCourt told about exchanging two bolts of calico and a half sack of coffee for the trst watermelon ever produced in the Gi' la valley and offered for barter in ySolomonville.
 The farmers who have. been home ssteading land about Wilcox during the past two years told. about the Panhandle country in Texas and oi oklahoma and how they expected the Sulphur Springs valley to equal either of these countries in aZricui ture.
 Besides an enormous melon croI the farmers around Wilicox have raised some good rrops of kaffil corn. sorghum and vast amount O vegetables this year.

A work on heraldry, by Paul Graen del, recently published at Leipsic. con. tains some information on the sub feet of sealing wax and the rules gov. erning it's use in the days of old. White wax was for the kings of France. and later for the kings of Sici- ly. A few dukes were allowed the high privilege, through the generos ity of Frederick III. Red wax was for the pope and the German monarchs. but. as a mark of favor to the people, t was allowed to be used generally. Green wax was for the common peo- pie, and some cities which had been unfaithful to their government were compelled ever afterward. as marb of their shame. to seal all public doc uments with green wax"
