Passing Throng
Luther Burbank has stirred up the
Mitylene section of Montgomery
County by using a cantaloupe and a
watermelon, crossing them, and pro
ducing a fruit looking something like
a cantaloupe and a grape fruit, of
most delicious flavor, and it can be
eaten right down to the rind.
Manager Ed Taylor of the Qay
Teague Hotel, discovered this deli
cacy at a local wholesale produce
house, and has been serving it to his
guests. i„
Two life-long friends, planters out
in the Mt. Meigs locality, Thomas
Oliver and Jack Taylor, divide every
thing with each other. They are cot
ton planters, and it is stated they will
not diversify. They believe in stick
ing to the fleecy staple.
Mr. Oliver recently came to the
city and dined at the Gay-Teague Ho
tel. Manager Ed Taylor Introduced
him to a "Honey Dew” melon. It was
the Burbank cross of the fruits. Im
mediately he became enamored of It
and bought two from Mr. Taylor and
took them home, out Mitylene way.'
His family partook of the "Honey
Dew" and declared it the most pal
atable thing of Its kind they had
ever eaten. Mrs. Oliver suggested
that Mr. Oliver send one over to Mr.
Taylor, which he did, sending a note
with the fruit, stating that he had,
during the past summer, diversified,
also requesting his neighbor to plant
the seed and ascertain If he would
have the same good luck in growing
it as himself.
Several days later Mr. Oliver met
Mr. Taylor and asked him how he
enjoyed the fruit.
"I don't know nothin’ about what
vou sent me.” replied Mr. Taylor. "I
fed the — thing to the hogs."

everything passible to make her de
clining days bright and cheerful.

cinnati, she requested that at her
death her remains should be returned
to Montgomery for Interment, and it
was In compliance with this wish that
