Heavy Sales in Melons.

Wm. Burnett broke the record
last Sunday in the sale of water
melons. He has a fifteen-acre
patch located on the pike near
his house, and he was kept in a
long trot all day Sunday, supply
ing the demand. He sold over
$40 dollars worth. The drouth
hurt his melons considerably this
year, and the whole fifteen acres
will hardly produce more than he
had on one acre last year. They
are not SO large, either, but very
sweet, and he has no difficulty in
selling them. He presented us
with two nice ones Monday, for
which he has our thanks.
