REMARKs.-Mr. Richardson's opin-
ion of the Wealthy apple is the univer-
sal opinion where it has been tried,
north of the Baldwin's range. All
through Northern New England and
Canada it is the coming apple. AS Mr..
Richardson says, it CRAFTS well on crabs,
but it is apt not to grow to full size
when so grated. The experience with
Mooer's Arctic plum also accords with
ours. The old bearing trees died, hav-
ing borne a heavy crop last year, but
the young ones survived, some injured
and some not. No pears survived to
any useful purpose but the new Rus
slams, which have made strong growth
this year from their terminal buds.
Some are four feet taller than in the
spring. Russian and North German
cherries, hardy enough for any place in
North America likely to be inhabited,
have lately been brought to this coun-
try, and also large assortment of plums
for all uses, native to country where
the winter temperature is far lower
than any that visits New England. No
liver in the cold North needs to go with
out an abundance of tree fruits of the
best kinds, now that foreign importa-
tons and new hardy home sorts are be-
coming so abundant. In our opinion,
the best fruits will be grown far north.

Refer ring to the Warner bil! proposed as compromise, he says there is only one objection to it, which is suspen- sion of coinage. He does not think bill containing such provision can pass Congress.

 January Ist, 1856. His salary is fixed at$I.5oc year, besides which he IS to get $I for each bond taken by him and as cents for every poll tax he collects. His duties have heretofore been performed by the sheriff. Taxes after this year will be collected by the treasurer, who will get salary of s3.ooo. Almost all county officers will be paid salaries after this year. The "Act" has not

Our Little CITY.

It's a fact that everybody who
comes to our town as a stranger is
surprised to find that we have a
little city Of so much growth and
prosperity. We can say to our
visiting friends that no town in
Southwest Georgia can boast of q
greater growth in the past three or
four years than Dawson. We
have sixty or sixty-fve business
firms in our town and they are all
solid. Dawsons handles annually
from ten to twelve thousand bales
of cotton and sells more goods
than any city in Georgia with no
greater population. AS an evil
dence of growing prosperity there
is scarcely no season of the year
when our mechanics and carpen-
ters are not engaged in repairing
and building residences and stores.
Our population is constantly on
the increase, which affords anoth-
er evidence OF our growing pros
perity. Only a few years ago the
population Of Dawson numbered
twelve or fifteen hundred, now we
have not less than two thousand.
In addition to the facilities which
we have already in our town, there
are now in process Of erection
large and commodious hotel and
four brick stores. These will be
completed and ready for use by
fall We feel greatly cheered at
the prospect, and with new COM
peting railroad, the continued
prosperity and growth of our town
would be assured beyond all per-
adventure. We cordially invite
the people to examine the outlook
of our city and come and locate
with us. We extend you a hearty
welcome and promise to do you
all the good we can and as little
harm as possible.

Obituary.

Fulsome praise Of the death
and highly wrought panegyricl
are to be deprecated. They are
distasteful to all modest people
and misleading to the public. But
when q good man dies to modest
~ set forth is virtues is proper
William G. Simpson was born
in Duplin county, N. c., Septem-
Der 18th, 1926, and died at his
home in Terrell county, Ga, July
18th, 1885. In 1881, when he
was six years Of age, his parents
moved to Georgia, where he grew
up and lived to the day of his
death. Brought up on a farm, he
early developed taste and talent
for agriculture, which he made
the business of his life. How as
siduously he followed it and how
successfully he prosecuted it, all
who knew him know.
In early life he was married to
Miss Annie A. johnson, daughter
of the late Judge Haley johnson,
of this county, who, with three
sons, survive him. That he was
an affectionate husband and kind
father, and to his children wise
counselor, those who knew him
need not be told. He was in eve
ry sense the head of the family
to whom they all looked, and not
in vain, for wise counsel and safe
guidance. Nor was Ills family
the only ones who availed them
selves Of his good judgment. 1t
was constantly brought into rcqui-
sition by his neighbors and friends.
Indeed, so highly was his advice
esteemed that he was considered
the oracle of the neighborhood by
the younger generations which
had grown up around him.
As was to be expected OF stch
a man, he promptly responded to
the call of his country in the hour
of her peril, and as an officer in
the 51st Ga. Regt, did gallant
service in her defense.
Besides other positions of trust
and responsibility, he represented
his county in the legislature of
the State, where he was ever ready
and alive to the interests and well
fare Of his constituents. Mr..
Simpson possessed in high de-
gree many distinguishing charac7
teristics which placed him, and
would justly place any man, high
in the esteem of his fellows. He
was eminently truthful, honest,
honorable, genial, hospitable, kind,
and above all charitable. No man
doubted his word, no ono his in
tegrity. Allknew him to be above
dishonor. His genial character
and sunny nature was the delight
Of his friends, his hospitality the
Joy Of those who assembled around
his bountif IL board and partook
of the pleasures Of his cheerful
home,
His kindness was proyerbial
and his charity and beneyolence
Astounding.
He had never attached himself
to any church, but he entertained
good hope that in his early life
he had made peace with his God.
Such, briefly, was the life Of
the atTectionate husband, the kind
father, the good citizen, the gent
al friend. q.
