Fortson, July 14.—The rain has held up
for several days now and we farmers are
happy, as there is some prospect of getting
rid of the grass. The crops on bottom
lands are about ruined. The people above
here who make corn to sell every other
year, will not make any this year.* Some
portions of our country are in a bad way.
The farmers have borrowed money from
foreign companies and mortgaged their
lands away. It is only a question of time
when they will have to give up their lauds
and become tenants or change their occu-
., pation. If a man ow r es one dollar more
U>e hous f ol '“ gentleman in the northern part of j thall he has resources with which to pay,
he is already a bankrupt. If a man
has one dollar more than all
his obligations he is on the road to wealth.
If a man wants to run a one-horse farm,
and has not enough money to run on a
cash basis, he had better not run it.
Mr. N. B. Thompson has been spending
several days with his father. He leaves
this morning for work on the Georgia
Midland.
A half dozeu hands on the place of Col.
Wadkins, who were working* for wages,
left him the other day for the Georgia
Midland.
The lightning struck a calf for Mr. L. J.
Haines, also one for Mr. J. R. Thompson,
