Watermelons of Fine Quality Being Shipped to Ohio Markets.

A. W. Sawin is in the midst of his watermelon harvest and Tuesday shipped his first melons to the market. They went to Cincinnati and consisted of two car loads. Today, Wednesday, two car loads are being shipped to Cleveland. He has an abundant crop of extraordinary fine melons and will, doubtless make a big lot of money on them. The melons are shipped from Fair Oaks, near which place the farm is located. Persons who have seen the big patch say they never saw such mammoth melons and those who have tasted them proclaim the quality unsurpassed.
