Used Her Umbrella,

Two young ladies who live east Of
Rathmel, on the Luthersburg's road,
came to Reynoldsville one day last week
and on their way home were attacked
at lonely place on the Fuller hill by a
young man Of this place. He caught
one Of the ladies', threw her down and
attempted to gag her with a handker-
chief. The other lady pommeled the
assaulter over the head with her UNI
brella. This was more than the young
chap had figured on and he retreated
and the ladies proceeded homeward
1t Is reported that one Of the maidens
had been into one of our banks getting
some money and that the young man
had seen her get 1t and followed them
for the purpose of getting the money.
Whether that was the reason OF the as
sault or not, It was bold piece of busi-
ness and the chap should be brought to
justice for 1t.
Albert Green was arrested Yesterday
charged with assault In the case men,
toned. He waived hearing and will
be tried at the May term of court.

which have usually come in April and
May, which would make large acreage
an impossible thing to attend to. The
freeze has taught many valuable les
son; as one of our friends said the other
day: 1--WE have lived better this year
than ever before, because we have made
our own food and fodder" Many vege-
table growers have almost swamped
themselves by reason of the large
acreage they have attempted to raise,
requiring immense amounts of capital
and labor, too often to be swept
away by the frost. At times this
has been profitable, but the risks are
too great for a man in moderate Cir
cumstances to assume. Truck garden
ing will pay, but it is impossible for one
to become bond holder who is engaged
in it. While it is true that there Is
very small profit in late vegetables, still
this late truck, after the northern mar
kets have ceased to be profitable, could
be canned at handsome profit. Co.
operation or central canneries in the
vegetable region would be great help
to the truckers.

LATE CROPS NOT PROFITABLE
The Eustis Lake Region says:

The Eustis Lake Region says
''It would seem that in the history of
the past years of truck gardening in
Florida almost every phase of the ques-
ton had been met. That the growers
make pretty close estimate now from
experience as to what they might expect
barring the f1ckleness of the commits
sion men. and the changes of the trans
portation rates, but this year has proven
a fact that has never before been clearly
demonstrated; that late crop of vegeta-
tables however perfect, will not pay as a
market product in Florida. If the crop
which should be ready to be shipped in
March and the first part of April is frozen
down, the grower should turn his atten-
ton to those things which he can con-
sumo at home with limited surplus for
the home market. Again, this year has
been particularly propitious for late
crop. We have not had the drouths
