The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1890-06-26

After a lapse of several months I will
attempt to send you few items of news
from this section of the County.
Rain, grass, heat and politics arc the
subjects most discussed by the farmers at
this time.
This immediate vicinity was visited by
an exceedingly heavy rainfall last Fri
day night. Crops upon creeks and
branches were almost ruined in some
places. Uplands were badly washed and
the crops upon them were seriously injured
in many places. Terraces, bitches and all
arrangements made to carry off the surplus
rainfall failed entirely to perform that
duty, and our farms are badly scared and
scanned by tho sudden down. pour of rain.
At this writing all hands have gone to
work brayely to repair the damages, and if
the seasons continue propitious, the crops
will soon recover from the disaster. Far
mers are we'll up with their work, and the
crops have not suffered seriously from
grass or want of proper cultivation.
The weather has been sultry and the
heat at times somewhat oppressive, but
the hearts of the weary farmers are cheer
ed by the excellent prospects on every
side for large crop of corn and cotton.
Loafers are scarce with us, as everybody
is as busy as bees, and our little town is
about as lonely place as can be found in
the County.
The committee, who have in charge the
repairing and reitting of the church at
this place are progressing finely with
their work, and when the Association con.
venes in August next it will have neat,
comfortable Church in which to meet
and transact its business. The good house
