ECHOLS’ RECEPTION
Over One Hundred People at His Home
Wednesday Right.
THE REWS WENT AHEAD OF HIM
They Played on Piano, Organ and Fiddle,
Sang Hymns and Daneed Some—lt
Was a Happy Home.
Welborne B. Echols, half brother of
Lester Echols, was in The Tribune
office yesterday morning and told of
the joyous scene at the Echols home
near Seney Wednesday evening.
"Lester and the old folks got home
about dark, but the news bad traveld
on ahead and fully a hundred people had
gathered at the house to welcome him.
Some people from Rome going down
on the train told the Seney folks I
think. The news didn’t get scattered
much thorough the country or there
would have been three times as many
folks present. Tonight they’ll come in
droves.
“I can’t describe to you sir, the
scene. The folks just hugged Lester,
and cried over him, for very joy. It
was a jolly time we all had, too. All
of the children were there, and we
sung hymns and talked.
“We had music on the piano, organ
and fiddle. The young folks danced
some too. I’ll tell you it was a great
time, and tonight it will be even gayer
and livlier.
“Lester had got so big and heavy lots
didn’t know him. When he went in
jail he weighed 110 pounds and when
(begot out he weighed 170. He has al
ways been bothered with rheumatism
•some but its getting lots better. Lester
is popular With the girls, and he talked
vto them going and coming last night.”
The Echols home, about three
q darters of a mile southeast of Seney,
is a comfortable and rather imposing
looking country home. Welborn
Echols sr., is a man of considerable
wealth, it is said, *
It has mot entirely been decided
what Lester will do. He may try to
get a job in some store or manufactory
in Rome, or he may work on the farm
at Seney.

Dr. Hammond holds the record among
the physicians appointed by the city for
the most vaccinations. He operated on
about 180 people. Dr. Shaw 80, Dr.

A Crowd of Small Boy s.
Yesterday scores of small boys were
corraled into Curry’s drug store
and the plaintive wails were enough
to harrow the soul of the hardest
heart. But it didn’t stop the phy

The little fellows were nearly all
frightened out of their wits, and went
forward at the call of “next" with
much reluctance.
No Small Pox.
Dr. C. Hamilton examined the negro
