how to .'set type" in THE RECORDER
office overfour years ago, but recently
a compositor on our neighbor, the

The d. & N. r. r. ran an ex-
cursion from Durham to the Cotton
Factory last nightabout $50 o'clock;
a tremendous crowd went down;
upwards of two hundred carried
toich-lights. The Durham Cornet
Band made delightful music to and
from the factory; everybody en-
ioyed the trip. This road was bailt

this connection we will say, to the

The RECORDER sand some time
ago thata canning factory would
pay in Durham. and urged upon
some one to start il up; and we are
glad TO know that Mr.. A. b. Mat
news is the first to get the inning
on what we believe will be a paying
industry in this section A canning
factory in Lexington, N. G., paid
handsomely last year on tomatoes
alone, as we were informed BY o
citizen Of that town. II Is one Of
the main industries at Newberne,
N. c., and other parts Of the State.
We have seen il stated that one
acre Of land will yield 400 bushels
Of Tomatoes. The undertaken Of this
enterprise is q young man of more
than ordinary push, and We predict
agsod thing for Durham, and the
surrounding country.
