HOUSTON
A DELIGHTFUL LOCATION
WITH BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

Houston was in its early history pre-
! eminently a neIghborhOOd of large

healthful finding ready drainage into

number of grist and saw mills.

plOyment to many hands ard affords
a market for tons of fruit and vegeta-
bles grown in the neighbOrhoOd A
new and cnmmOdiOus schO Il house
and new NJ. e. Church are being
built in the village which with the
building OF a number of new houses is
giving boom to he demand for me-
chanlcs. Its condition is ripe for the
introduction of Other business enter
prlses that would find here chpap and
comfortable homes for operatives, and
either supply of the raw material or
a market for the product of the estab-
lishment. A liberal policy has charar-
terized the management of tile land
owners at Houston; they have given
in fee simple liberal plot of land TO
anyone who would contract to erect "A |
house thereon. This policy, in con |
nection with the fact that such built |
ers have found steady employment i'm

jireahle place to locate.
Anyone that had not seen Houston

THE TRADE DOLLAR.-FOr some
time past the New York bankers have
been refusing to take trade dollars and
brokers have been buying them up
at discount and selling them to man
uiacturers and other employers oflarge
numbers of men to pay off with. This
course led to serious embarrassmeuts
TO merchants and their Gu u,tOmers as
the former were obliged 20 refuse to
take money at par which they could
not bank. The result has been u move
ment among New York wOrkingnen
generally to refuse them from their
employers. This made it necessary
for the brokers to find a new market
and the city of Newark and other
towns near New York have been
flooded with the trade dollars Now
the banks in those cities have deter
mined to refuse them FROM uecessitv.
II is prob BILE that some annOyances
may en-ue for a month or two similar
to those experienced when the same
thing occurred a few years ago. Att
that time the trade dollars were gener- |
ally refused at their par value for q
brief period, but after the lapse of two |
or three months the prescription was
so far modified that small amounts
were received by the banks from reg
ular depnsitors and they gradually
worked their way back into general
The New York brokers
are blamed for the present furry and
they are charged with bringing the
matter out for the sake of the money
they will be able to make in the traffic.
Others say that it was done with the
idea of creating such popular preju-
lice against the coin that the Govern !
nent would call them in at par and re-
,Oin them in halves, quarters and !
mailer pieces, thereby making profit I
# about per cent. after all expenses q
# coinage, etc, are deducted. In an Z
with Tribune reporter the l
Assistant United States Treasurer at
Jew York made the following state a

NOTES FROM SIMPSONS,

Mess''$. Editors: As you have re-
qucsted dots from all parts of the
county, we have concluded to give you
ono or two from this section.
Since thc close of the Simpson
school, taught by the very efficient
teacher Miss Shelton, things have been
moving along slowly but surely. The
Ladies' Sowing Society have made no
noise about their proceedings, but
have managed to supply the Homah
Baptist Church with two handsome
lamps for the pulpit, four sido lamps
with rcflcctors, and chandalicr, which
light up the church brilliantly. Per-
sulfs accustomed TO tic dim light
afforded hy candles can appreciate the
; work of the fair ones Of this communi.
ty. They have on hand a beautiful
quilt Intended as present for the pas
tor. They propose supplying the
church with handsome Bible and
hymn-bcok, and will then give tho
proceeds Of iticir labor to the mission
cause. Success attend their noble
efforts.
The community was favored few
evenings since with Il very interesting
and instructive discourse by the Rev.
&. q. Bradford, Of the Boro. Not
withstanding the clouds threatened
rain, goodly number of persons were
present, and all were SO well pleased,
IL is hoped he will pay us another visit
soOu.
The appearance OF another mad dog
in our midst caused considerable eX-
citcmcnt few days since; The dog
came very near taking one Uf"tlit;
| nciglborS, smart enough tn get out Of
his way, but not Smuyt enough to cap
turc him. You would have been
amused could you have seen the party
in pursuit of the dog, Some bare
headed, bare footed, ,irIi1cd with guns,
clubsi etc. The animal passed wit hin
few feet OF the writer but, interested
III book, failed to sec or know he was
about until the persuing party came
up. Unfortunately he made his cs-
cape, and wh" last seen was vending
his way towal,.. tlourishinY village
of Ridgcway. >...
Crops arc sutft ing terribly for want
OF rain. Corn is burning up and cot
ton, i'll places, shplding rapidly. 1t is
impossible for this section TO make the
corn or cotton made last year. Fotu-
natcly pretty fair crop Of wheat and
oats has hccn harvested, Fruit crop a
failure, gardens very poor and farmers
low-sDiricd. When. however. we
compare the crops here with crops in
other sections Of the county which we
have seen, we think the people hero
have cause to be thankful that things
arc no worse. X.Y,z.

ing lis gentlcshowcr. Tie gardens
have long sinte failed; early corn,
spcas and swcotNpotatocs nearly q fail
'urc; and cftn lato corn neatly spent
IN places. Cotton is small, and in
places stands very imperfect. Under
these circtlhsanccs we cGiinot expect
more 'thaN half crop cotton in South

estimate from newspapcr reports, may
apply safely TO the cotton belt OF Uni
ted States, except in Texas and Arkan-
sas, and perhaps Florida and Tcnnes-
SEQ. We hopo to Struggle through to
next June, if our planters sow down
a larger area than ever of wheat and
oats, which they will have ample timo
TO do earlier than usual, as tho cotton
crop can be gathered by the first Of
November in all probability. =,
