He has seventy acres in cotton which, as well as ail other crops la his section, are very promising. Caicnlate the lvalue of the strawberry industry -to the section of country .where it flourishes from the statement made by a wholesale grocer I ester day, that his sales in the strawberry section auring the last season averaged 85 per cent, more than they did after the season's close. -v . i It, was reported last night -that Mr. Hiram Moore, who carries on a produce commission business on Market street, between Second and Third, while walking one of the trestles between Wrightsville and : Ocean View beach, was knocked off into the sound, and his left arm broken above the elbow and his head gashed.

It is a real comfort, when tbe thermometer is in the nineties, to note the fact that the people of Kansas have abandoned the old and threadbare style of comparing hailstones to "hen eggs' in the matter of size. The dispatches from Topeka describing the storm there recently all mentioned the fact that the hailstones were "as big as ostrich eggs.' Thanktl BY RIVER AND RAIL.

Potatoes are about played out.' only small and steadily decreasing shipments now being made. - Tbe Plant system up to June 83 has handled this season a total of 868 car loads of watermelons. Of this number 806 have been shipped from South Georgia points and 150 loads have come lrom Florida. Tbe crop is far behind that ot last year, when tbe receipts began coming in from a week to ten days earlier. The acreage has also been reduced, as last year the industry did not prove alto gether profitable to tbe farmers.
