SOUTHERN CANNING.

berries. tomatoes. etc. Jackson Nc
Kensie, Sharon, Union City, and
other towns are putting up factories
of ON 10000 to 2O,O30 cans annual
capacity. These movements have
stimulated the truck farming busi,
ness in that reg on, perceptibly.
Gibson couaty alone will score an
increase of 1000 acres devoted to
truct this year. Thisis a hopeful
thing of itself. and will be of great
benefit to tomsto and berry planters,
who grow chiefly for the early North

priced berries, tomatoes and other
vegetables, il the Northern cities,

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

The numerous bank failures through
out the country most certainly suggest
that something should be done in the
matter of making more stringent bank
ing laws. 1t is hard matter these times
to pick up paper without seeing where
some bank has closed its doors and
left the deposltors to howl outside.
It is true not only of state and county
banks, but of national banks-all styles
and classes seem to be having hard
luck.
Money in many cases has been loaned
on property assessed at fictitious values
and the depositor must whack up be-
cause of the poor business judgement
Of the bank officials.
It would seem that the legislatures
are direlect in their duty when they
fail TO make laws which will pre- tect
the depositor-as is also congress, which
witnesses from y2sv to year d0z3L9 of
national bank failures.
Something is wrong, and in these
days of speedy trips to Canada and SO
many aluring deals in options, it is
hard 20 tell just who will or will not
go wrong.
Bank examiners, for the most part,
are to blame-and something should

The influence of the Vaudeville Club

to be a remarkable adult performer. This
is her first appearance in Jersey City since
her return from Germany. Miss Wetzler
has played with Seidl aud Nikisch. Mr..
A. Prince, a noted tenor, will also sing.
But the star performance. at least the
most discussed is that of Mrs. Frank
Molten. Perhaps it may be remembered
that when Aunt Bridget's Baby" went
on the road last year., it took with it a
o and dance, by Andrew LIE Mack,
called THE Lily and the Rose" Then
it was danced by two very pretty young
women. whose gowns were decollete as to
skirts. In the present case, the dance
will undoubtedly be pruned of its sky
scraping features, although these formed
the main feature of the performance.
The song is very ''catchy" and suited to
Mrs. Molten's voice.
Altogether, the entertainment promises
TO be a novelty indeed, and an enjoyable
one.

near the East Ferry Street Station OF the
Newark & New York road, is a four-inch
well bored to a depth OF l04 feet aud peh-
etrating far into the red sandstone form

ton that they had secured connection

AZ first the water subsidized without APP
parent cause TO a point far below its
original level, and when they were be-
coming accustomed to the new condition
it suddenly rose again and flowed over
the surface of The ground. Then 1t as
suddenly subsidized until the superintend-

tom had dropped out. This condition
quickly gave place to a phenomenon
which has since been repeated at irregular

but the most reasonable is the one which
attributes the sudden subsistence of the
water to the boring of another deep well
to the same seam in the rock, and the
sudden outpurst of geysers to expert
meuting with compressed air In the

up from a deep well by pumping air to
