Mr. Thos. W. Johnson of Four Oaks, Route 4, carried the first load of watermelons and green peas to Four Oaks that that town had seen this year, of the home-grown variety. Mr. Johnson had ripe watermelons on the Fourth of July, and green peas were on his table a week earlier, but he took his first load to town for sale on Tuesday, July 7th.
