THE HERALD is pleased to re-
cord a visit to our city by R. H.
Bushway, manager of the Alvin
Fruit & Nursery company, of
Algoa, and also a member of the
l. & G. \. immigration associa-
ton. The gentleman was here on
business connected with his nur
sery, and talks very Interestingly
of the fruit growing proposition in
the coast country. Speaking of
the extreme cold weather of last
February Mr.. Bushway said the
orange trees at Algoa, which had
absolutely no protection, with
stood u temperature of IS degrees
above zero for several days with
out injury, and the trees Today are
loaded with splendid fruit The
gentleman thinks this section
equally adapted to the growing of
oranges, while figs attain phe-
nomenal growth. The Satsuma
orange is said to be the finest COM
mercial orange i'll the world, and
the trees are able to resist cold
that would kill orange trees on the
old sweet or sour stocks. The
gentleman is very enthusiastic
over prospects in this section, and
sees no reason why it should not
become a formidable rival TO Cali
fornia in the growing OF citrus
fruits. He is a most well informed
man, and IS a very interesting
talker on the lines mentioned
fabove.

this section for fig culture, little
dreaming of the results to so soon
follow. The cuttings were from 8
inches to foot in length when put
out, and about the size of man S
finger. How large are they now,
do you ask? They are an inch or
two IN diameter and higher than
mans head. Nor is this all.
The trees are loaded from top to
bottom with fruit, and the size is
something wonderful. The flavor
is as good as can be found any
where, and if a more phenomenal
development has been attained any
where the report has not reached
this section. This leads THE
HERALD to come out fair and
square and say no place in the
United States excels this in fig
growing. Just think of fig trees
not over eight months old, with
from 800 to 400 figs on, and then
wonder why no more attention is
paid to this particular fruit, to say
nothing of many other varieties
that are known to do well here.
Verify the wonderful resources of
this section have never half been
told.

Among yesterdays arrivals in
Brownsville was S. NJ. Lesesne, of
Edna, representative of the Gal
weston News. He reports every
thing quiet at Edna, but says con-
siderable feeling was engendered by
the removal of Monk Gibson to San
Antonio for trial, although no
great amount of blame is attached
so Judge Wilson for his action in
the matter. Mr.. Lesesne says the
guilt of Monk Gibson for the Smur-
der of the Condit family is not
doubted by the people of Edna,
although many people believe there
was more than one man concern
ed in the horrible crime. The gen
tleman describes the accused as be-
ing a negro of average intelligence,
and says he tells his story up
to a certain point as though
some one had told it to him,
but when questions are asked con-
corning the crime, the negro mere
ly says / don't know and no
amount of questioning can elicit
any further information. There is
considerable sentiment at Edna that
the murder was done primarily
to prevent encroachment of the
whites upon the settlement, which
is made up almost entirely of ne
groes, and was instigated by others,
the names of whom Monk Gibson
will not reveal.
