STRAWBERRIES BUT NOT WATERMELONS

Press Roberts of Jackson township, Newton county, but who owns some good Jasper county land, was in Rensselaer today and while here, sold twenty-two quarts of strawberries. He has the ever bearing variety and if a good, rain would*come soon he would have a large supply. It will be a very bitter disappointment to his many former customers to learn that Mr. Roberts will not have any of those good watermelons this year.
