Rev. j. Is. Campbell, pastor of the
st. John NJ. E. Church, will preach
his laso sermon next Sunday prior to
the meeting of the State Conference,
which convenes next Wednesday at
Chester. Mr.. Campbell came here Il
few months ago to succeed Rev. w. w.
Daniel. who was appointed President
of the Columbia Female College, and
is not only greatly beloved by his own
congregation but is most highly cs
teemed by all of our people. We join

We had the pleasure OF sampling in
our pipe some very fine tobacco grown
on tho plantation of Col. II. w. Simp-
son ut PcndietOn. 1t had very fine
flavor and would please any smoker of
a pipe. This sample only proves what
we have frequently claimed, viz, that
Anderson County can produce rs fine
tobacco as is grown i'll any section of
the State. In some Of the eastern
counties the farmers are giving as much
attention to tobacco as cotton, and
they are meeting with big success. AS
q money crop it is equal if not superior
to cotton, and we hope the farmers of
Anderson County will give it some
attention. Plant n few acres and we
believe you will bc more than pleased
with the result.
