The Central tobacco Warehouse
presents this week strong argu-
ment for farmers to bring their to-
bacco to Kingstree market and to
Central Warehouse. The Central
boys are hustlers and they are sure
ly doing the business on this market.
Our Lake City correspondent, Hon
w L Bass, is eating pine-apples and
catching tarpons in the sunny Land
of Flowers, which is why we have
had nothing from his facile pen
within the past fortnight. We hope
to have him back "on the job" by
next week.
We acknowledge with apprecia-
tive thanks copy of the Agricul-
tural Yearbook sent us by Congress
man Ellerbe. This is really valuable
book of reference and Mr. Ellerbe
says he has several hundred to dis
tribute in this county, to be had for
the asking.
Saturday and Sunday we fairly
feasted on melons presented US by
our young friend, Mr. w H Foxworth
of Zeb. The cantaloupes, as well as
the water-melors, were about as near
perfection as we would care to see.
Not so large, but big a plenty and
the meat crisp, juicy and delicious.
We apologize to Judge" Wallace
for so long neglecting mention of
that tiny image of himself" left at

congratulations to the happy parents.

Kings warehouse makes its COM
petitors sit up and take notice in the
attractive ad for that warehouse we
present this week. Lake City's mar
ket is leading the State in quantity
of tobacco sold and Kings Ware
house has contributed largely in
building up the market to its pres
ent immense proportions. Read the
statements of sales offered in evil
dence if you are from Missouri"
Somewhat of a pomological freak
was brought US Tuesday by Mr. c D
Cottingham of Salters Depot in the
form of twin cantaloupe. The
melon resembled a huge figure 81
placed horizontally, the upper and
lower spheres being almost perfect
ly formed and about the same size.
When the "Siamese twins was cut
apart each twin made an average
size cantaloupe, unusually sweet and
of delicious flavor. A little expert
mentation might produce breed Of
melon to grow in clusters, which
would be quite a novelty. Here's a
chance for a local Burbank.
