Short Corn Crops.

1t is generally conceded that the
corn crop will be short this wear.
From all sections of the State re-
ports are general that the lack of
rain will cut off corn.
In the immediate vicinity of
Albany-Dougherty and Baker
competent judges aver that the
crop will be cut off fully one half.
1t Is low too late for rain to bene
tit corn to any considerable extent,
though there would no doubt be a
slight improvement in the filling
out of the grains.
1t behooves our farmers to save
their old crop to help out the new.
There is good deal of old corn in
the country, and if judiciously
used, our farmers may be able to
make another crop without buy
Ing. There are q great many, Of
course, who have no supplies that
will be badly off, but quite a num-
Der OF planters have old corn
enough to do them another year
without assistance of thenew crop.
1t should be closely husbanded, so
that the stronger may assist the
weaker. Too much stress cannot
be laid on this point, and we trust
that our farmer friends will look
ahead and save their corn, because
there will be slim crop made
Albany Neacs and .AdcertiSer.
The above advice is very timely,
and we would urge upon the far
mers of Terrell the necessity of
adopting it. While it is true that
the corn crop of our county is
much better than that represented
above in the counties of Baker and
Dougherty, we doubt not there are
many farmers, even in this county,
who will scarcely make corn
enough to do them, and those hay
ing a surplus will find ready sale
for it next summer at good prices.

Death of Caps. j. w. Johnston.

After a severe illness of some
three weeks, Capt. j. w. JOHN
ston, of this city, died at the resi-
dence Of Hon. r. f. Simmons, on
last Sunday evening about 6
o'clock. Capt. Johnston had been
a residentof Dawson about twenty
three years, and a resident of the
county for more than thirty-fve
years. He was, therefore,. well
known in this section to all classes
Of ouf people. At the time of his
death he was in his tifty-third
year. He leaves. behind devot-
ed wife and d tender and affection
ate daughter. The deceased had
probably as many friends as any
man that ever lived in the county.
Indeed it is not known that he had
a single enemy. Capt. Johnston
was man of splendid intellect
and one of the best informed men
the writer has ever known. His
information was not circumscribed
or bounded by any particular line
of subjects, but partook Of a broad
and general nature, In fact, he
had been a great reader all his-life
and was a bold and independent
thinker. He held official position
in the county for many yeats and
always discharged the trust with
satifaction to his constituents. A
more honest man than Capt. John
ston never lived in the county,
He was charitable and generous
to fault No man ever appealed
to him for sympathy or aid and was
turned away empty. His remains
were carried to the city cemetery
on last Monday evening followed
by q large concourse of friends. =
The funeral service was conducted
by Judge Ii. NJ. Leonard, and a
FIVE o'clock the coffin, with all tina
remained of this large-heartet
man,was lowered into last its restin;
place there to remain until tn
final day of account. 70 the be
reaved and distressed family "
extend heartfelt sympathy.

The cotton crop is thought by
MANY of our farmers to be cut off
fully one-half but, then, getitle-
men, you don't know anything
about cotton. It will fool you
every time and not try very hard
at that. IL you value your reputa-
tions as wise men don't stake your
judgement ON what cotton will do
or Won't do. Cotton has got plen-
ty of time, yet, Ito get the better of
all your prognostications. The
man that bucks against cotton will

that very badly Cotton is one of
