We do not know who's the mean
est man in Barber county but we
can come very near naming the
best one. If we were allowed to
pick the best one this week, we
would have to select Andy OFT of
Eagle. He brought us a fine big
melon on Monday and it was the
first we tasted this season. Water.
melons are a scarce article and one
of this size is a rare thing. Mr..
OFT says he has a good patch but
the coyotes are eating them almost
as rapidly as they ripen. This was
new information to us. We have
lived here twenty four years and it
was the nrsr tune we iealned That
coyotes eat melons. We are now
more than ever in favor of exter-
minating the pests. There is moth
ing quite SO good as a nice Juicy
melon these hot days.
Prof. A. M. Pickett, phrenologist
and hypnotist, opened a four days
engagement at the opera house in
this city Monday. His lectures
and entertainments are most in
teresting and beneficial to those
who go to get the best out of them.
Phrenology, mind reading hypno-
tism and kindred subjects are high
ly elevating when used properly
and Prof. Pickett seems to be the
person who directs them in the
proper channel. Monday night
was devoted to lectures on phre-
nology, two character readings and
one example in hypnotism. The
entertainment was very interesting
and at times fun provoking. We
print too early to comment on1ast
nights work. This is Prof. Pick
ett's second visit to our city. His
first visit was about fifteen years
ago. He is gentleman in every
sense of the word and is highly in.
formed on his subjects.
