H. C. f. Busch, of Charleston,
has recently purchased from w. John
Schroeder his 40-acre farm below
West Union, located on the Walhalla-
Seneca road. The price paid for this
property was $4,000. Mr.. Schroeder
will continue to reside on the prem
ises until January, 1918, when he
expects to return to Walhalla. From
now on, however, he intends to give
his time and attention to his patent
we'll fixtures and shop work, and q
considerable portion Of his time will
be spent in Walhalla even before he
resumes his residence here. Mr..
Busch will, 1t Is understood, give his
attention to the establishment of
summer colony on the place he has
just bought, which Is ideally located
for such a purpose. He anticipates
expending some $4,000 on build
ings, we are informed. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Busch have visited in Walhalla,
where they have numerous friends,
who will rejoice to know that they
will later be identified with this Sec
tion. 1t is Mr.. Busch's inte ntion to
take up his proposed summer resort
work at the beginning of 1920, CIV
ing himself two years in which to
complete his plans and wind M his
| other business affairs that would in
terfere with his new plans. Mr.. and
Mrs. Busch will be most heartily well
| coined to this section, and the sue
be hailed with delight on all sides.
The Courier is showing this week
what to us Is curiosity indeed,
though some who have viewed 1t say
that they have seen others OF these
shape Of watermelon Of the "moon
and stars" variety. The bulk Of the
melon shows the ordinary dark green
color. while at the end of the melon
appears a yellow circle about four
inches In diameter this circle repre-
senting the moon. Dotted all over
the balance Of the melon are num-
berless little yellow circles or dots,
representing stars. There are hun
dreds Of these, probably thousand
or more. An added popularity Of
the variety is that, dependent upon
the phase Of the moon at the time of
the formation Of the melon on the
vine, the large end marking reflects
the moon phase. Some Of the mel
ons, therefore, represent the first
quarter, the half moon, the nearly de-
veloped orb, or the full moon, as in
the case with the melon brought to
this office. The melon was grown by
Jos. A. Knox. Of Tugaloo river, who
two years ago secured the seed In
Texas. One OF his "moon AMI stars"
melons this year weighed 40 pounds
when ripe, and this he was saving to
cut when his son, Lieut.. julio Knox,
Of the Philippine constabulary SER
vice, arrives on a visit to his parents.
The melons are said to be Of excel
lent flavor, red meat and very dell
cate. We are indebted to 3. r.
Clinkscales, of Round Rock, Texas.
for bringing this melon to our Office.
Mr.. Clinkscales has been spending
some time visiting at the home Of M.
Q. Todd, Of Walhalla, and among
