RAIN AT DIXIE.
Creeks and Branches Filled to Over
flowing.

Creeks and Branches Filled to Over
flowing
Dixie, GA, July est still continues to
rain. Our Oldest citizens say they never
knew it to rain so continuously SO long.
The creeks and branches are filled TO over
flowing and crops of all kinds are damaged
to some extent, especially those on low
lands. Cotton is growing quite grassy and
cannot be laid by owing to the wet weather.
Under the very high temperature
which is prevailing, fodder is ripening fast,
and cannot be saved for want of sufficient
sunshine to cure II. The weather has been
intensely and unusually hot here for the
past few days. The mercury registered $50
in the shade at one time yesterday afternoon.
But Notwithstanding all this hot and damp
weather, which we have been having for
the past month, the health of the town and
vicinity has not been lessened But then
that's not surprising for Brooks county, for
it's one OF the healthiest counties in Georgia
and claims to have some of the oldest people
in 1t. For instance, your correspondent met
Curtis Carroll in town yesterday, who
said he built the first "horse rack" that was
ever erected in Hawkinsville, and
hewed the stills for her first public inn"
aud came from there to his present home,
two miles north of Dixie, in January, 1882.
It was then a part of Thomas county. He
said the place where the city
of Townsville now stands looked
like where some one had started to clear
"new ground" The underground had
been cut down and a part Of it piled.
The court house was rough log building
16xlS, built OF pine logs with the bark on
them, and was f1oored with pine straw. MIR.
Carroll is now In his SAITH year, has very
robust health, jo~'al and very fond of
joke His Rom ny is wonderful. He
is real active in business for one of his years.
He says he never drank any whisky in his
Nfe, and gave up the use Of coffee many
years ago.
