Mr.. John NJ. Simpson, of Tocoa, Ga,
died ut his residence in that town on the
3rd of September, at the age Of seyenty-one
years. Mr.. Simpson was native of York
County, but came to Anderson when q
child, having lived in the Corner township
until 1876 when he removed to Toccoa.
Mr.. Simpson was q higil-toned, honorable
liked by his neighbors and friends. He

valuable member OF Good Hope Presbyte.
rian Church in this County for many years
until the removal of his membership to
tho Toccoa Church in 1876. HIS remains

We interviewed number of farmers on
last Monday in regard to the effects of the
drouth. Various estimates were made as
made in the County. One gentleman said
that In his section upland corn would not
average two bushels to the acre and cotton
not more than one hundred pounds of seed
cotton. The majority of them are of the
opinion that half crop Of cotton will be
made in the County. Bottom land, they
say will make an average ;Inrs y;IIed but TIapS up
think, however, that the County is in q
better condition to Withstand the effects of
the drouth than it was in 1882. and that by
sowing plenty of small grain this Fall our
people will not feel so embarrassed as they
Imagine. AS far as we could loarn every
farmer is preparing to SOW plenty OF lain Gcalna'
BY practicing a little economy, paying
more attention to raising home supplies
and making cotton q surplus crop, We will
vel be able to Withstand drouths, storms,
&c. The farmers have their destiny in their
own hands, and 1t is for them to say how
long they will remain in their present con-
ttar
