Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-08-24

UNION CITY, Ga, Aug. 21.-This
thriving little metropolis seventeen
miles out from Atlanta on the New
nan highway, was the scene this att
ernoon of a watermelon contest as
UNIQUE as it was enjoyable.
This contest is one that is held
annually at the picnic grove which
borders the beautiful lake just out
side the city. Splendid melons are
brought from the surrounding coun-
tryside for the judges to view, and
for which cash prizes are awarded
their respective growers. After all
melons have been duly weighed they
are auctioned to the highest bidder
and the money received is awarded
to the successful contestants. This
year, however, the prizes were In
creased in number owing to the fact
and The Atlanta Journal each con-
tributed $40 to the prize fund.
First prize. ($1O) was won by T. s.;
Crow, of Union City, the weight OF
his melon being 70 pounds 4 ounces
second prize ($5) was won by 4. L..
Swinney, of Forrest Park, his melon
weighing 62 pounds ounces; thlrd
prize was won by j. H. Burkhead, OIL
Union City. Thirty other cash prizes
of 81 each were awarded.
A feature of the afternoons enter
tainment was staged when Mrs. L. II.
