Tho idea of a canning factory is new and few people aro prepared to venture an opinion on the probabili ties of success. They have passed beyond tho region of experiment in Eastern Texas and have proved a great success. They wero started in fear and trembling and on a very small scale, purely as an experiment, some years ago. Thoy wore a success from the start and havo increased in number year by year, and arc still in creasing, while they have steadily paid both factory and grower. The most notable result has been in the impcL us given to fruit and vegetnble grow ing. There is large profit in both, but only when thero is a sure market, and this the canning factory furnishes. The market secured, the whole coun try in which it is located becomes in terested. Farmers diminish cotton to raise peas and corn and to plant or chards. Tho market gardener in creases his acreage, every spot of ground for miles around is utilized. Women and children turn gardeners, tho boys on tho farm get up earlier in the morning and plant truck for mak ing spending money. No idea can be formed as to the effect on tho whole community. Tho money which tho products of the orchard and garden does not como onco a year like that produced by cotton, but is distribnted through most of the year, beginning with the opening of spring and end ing only with this frosts of fall. The effect of canning factories on sections where thoy exist in Eastern Texas is magical, and puts tho question of their financial success boyond all question. It only remains, therefore, to detcrmino whether the conditions of soil and climate in Central Texas is adapted to fruit and vegctablo grow ing. Many years it was thought un fit for either, but year by year, prao- tico has shown this section to bo suit ed for both garden and orchard. Tho entire cast sido of the river is a natu ral orchard, fine alluvial soil and elay or gravely subsoil, with a perfect drainage. From the river to the Tehuacana, thero is no better orchard land, whilo many parts of this sido aro equally as good. Taking it by and large there need be no hesitation in investing in a canning factory. It would in no timo provo a bonanza. Anothtr Hulclde. Seguln, Dec. 5. Last Sunday at a ball given by tho Germans on San Geronlmo creek, a German by the name of Louis flchoy was vory seri ously handled. The facts as near as your correspondent can secure from reliable witnesses are that a certain Henry Herman and Sohey were about to get Into a flght,when two brothers, Charles and Herman Heinemler.tnod to part thoni, when Sohey, who was drunk, hit Charles Helnomlor and grabbed Herman Helueraler by a rod handkerchief he had tied around his ueok, when H, Heinemier hit him on the head and kicked him.

Ho thon seized nor again, and, seemingly possosed of the spirit of a demon, was guilty of an not of licentiousness, the nature of whloh will not bear publicity. The lady serenmod and ho Hod, running like a scared wolf. Shortly after this offense Mrs. Harry Wheat and aflirs. Hostick were entering the Sanger Bros, store, n negro, who from the description given to tho police was believed to be tho scoundrol In the assault roforred to, forced his way be tween tho ladles. Throwing one arm around Mrs. Wheat's waist he asked hor an Insulting question, and the same time endeavoring to commit a physical Insult. Mrs. Wheat scream ed, at which her assailant took flight. He ran through tho store, passing en route to the clothing de partmont, through which ho escaped Mr. Harry Wheat the lady's husband, who Is employed in tho store as' floor walker and who know not what had transpired. The insult was witness ed by a large crowd, all of whom scorned to have been paralyzed by the occurrence, which was as unexpected as the supernatural. The report of the negro's outrageous behavior spread liko wildfire through the city and public passion rose to a fever heat which was only tempered witli the reflection that tho negro must bo insane. On tho streets such remarks as: "If such things aro attempted in tho broad daylight aud on tho crowd ed streots, what Is not likely to hap pen when night settles down on tho city?" One man suggested: "Tho whole male population of Dallas should turn out and scour tho town in search of the scoundrel!" Tiie city marshal put his force to work up tho case and toward evening Officer Franklin arrested a negro un der the influence of drink who ans wered the descridtlon given by ,'tho ladles as their assailant and who later in the day was Identified by Mrs. Wheat. At police headquarters he did not deny tho charge, but said that he had been drinking and that he did not mean to insult tho ladies. He gave his name as Frank Ray, and said that he hailed from Atlanta, Ga. He Is a light mulatto and about 8 years old. Dallas News.
