Gravely the document winds up by declaring that the party is ready "to repel the arrogant challenge of any claaa ard to maintain a government of all the peo ple as contrasted with government for some of the people; and, finally, to allay unrest, rnnnicion nxi strife and to aecure th. nn>P'iiion of all citi zens in the solution of the complex problems of th" dnv to the end that out eoorrrv. *iappy and prosperous, pr Hid of It* past, sure of itaelf and of it» inatitutio«i«. may laok forward with ronfW-nce ,a ^he future" It appes" *Jiat th* Democratic par ty is highly pleased » ",«i (lie effort of the Republ.-ann to mnl.4 a platform.

All along the road the field* point to a bountiful harvest thin year Of course it la too early yet to predict about moat eropa, far the lack at rain often seriously affects vegetation. The wheat ia as fine as one mr aaaa it in this section, and there appears to b« the usual amount of it. Corn is knee high and green and thrifty and grow ing fact. There are plenty of paachea and other fruit, the June peaches are turning red on the trees. We war* surprised at die amount of com that is planted. Everywhere along the road are fields of corn and certainly there will he no shortage of bread in thia part of the country if the rains do net fail us. The tobacco la liaflinilin to grow and the leavee are aa large a< a man's hand and the plants all of uni form siie which means that the crop will be uniform in size. There appear* to be a perfect stand for one sees no missing hill*. The houses along the way. many jf them, have baen newly painted and thia part of the county has changed so much in the past few years from what it once was that one would hard ly know the section who had not visit ed it in fire years. A large force of teams and men are busy moving i:rt and making gA>d road* near White Plains and the road they have already finished shows that they ar« making a road that will be a credit to any sec tion.

When yo editor think* of those day* one of the mind picture* that stand out promin ently ia tho watermelon* that crew in tho tobacco field We had a cuatom hack then o[ planting w.it'-i melon *eed in tho miasing hills along about this time of the year. The melons would come in later than the regular crop that we planted along the *and ridge in the river bottom. Of all the good eating that a boy ever had. the bent ia to find a nice melon on a frosty morning hid in the graas. Every boy loses his knife, and we recall that just *uch was our luck at times. But a boy can always find a way to sat a melon. We recall how we would burst the melon on a rock or a *tump and then with a splinter from a fence rail scoop out the rich, red, frosty, cool meat from the rind. If we had any interest in the many fields of tobacco Ijslwsaii this city and Dob son we would have melon* growing in those fields and have plenty of ripe melons slong about tobacco curing time. They do not grow large when thus planted, but they grow good, and the work of cultivating the tobacco i all that is required for the melon vines. Thus one get* the melons without sny extra work. Get busy snd pUnt the missing hills in melon seed. And along about next frost bring a| nice one to this office for making this i valuable tugireation. That ia all wt charge for this article.
