A man who don’t live more than 100
miles from here is tired of plowing, and
too lazy to do anything else, wants to
make some money by weaning mule
colts. He says the plan is very simple
—just keep the colt from its mother half
a day, then let the colt come, and when
it goes to suck “Egg-bag Beauty” will
just stick lus head down on the other
side, when the colt will see him, which
will scare it so that it will never attempt
to suck again. Price, $1 if brought to
him ; if not, $1 and a meal’s victuals.
No cure no pay.

WRITE FOR US.
AVe are determined to publish a local
paper, and to do so successfully, we call
upon our frieads, all over the county, to
keep us posted as to everything taking
place in their respective neighborhoods.
AY rite us each week of the marriages,
deaths, roads, improvements, schools,
crimes, magistrate trials* church, school,
and crop news. In fact, there are daily
occuring events in the county that
would help render our paper interesting.
You need not trouble to write it up—
only give us the points, and we will fix
that,

those indebted to them to “fork over.”
A settled fact—That Jasper Hopkins

pole.
One of the belles of AVashington has
been visiting her friends in Crawford
this week.
A matter of surprise—How McMahan
& Stokelv can sell goods as low as they
do and not'fail.
The weather during the past week was
unsurpassed for maturing and gathering
the cotton crop.
If someone would haul a few cords of
good oak wood to Crawford they could
sell it like hot cakes.
AVe disposed of 300 extra copies of the
last issue of the Echo, and they did not
near supply the demand.
The cotton crop is turning out badly.
It is now thought that only two-thirds
of a crop will be gathered.
The old gallery, near the hotel, is be
ing demolished, to make room for a sub
stantial row of new r stores.
Mr. 11. J. Pace was taken suddenly ill
last AVcdnesday. AVe hope his sickness
will prove of short duration.
The cheapest, safest, and most conven
ient mode of sending small sums of mon
ey is by post office money order.
Country wagons are now coming in
rapidly. One would be surprised at the

AVhcn six young ladies sit down to
talk about anew dress-pattern, a small
boy with a tin horn is a refuge for the
weary.
AVhen an iron vessel, stove, or stove
pipe is cracked, the opening may be
stopped with a cement made of ashes,
salt and water.
Tin chestnut crop this year is remark
abb ood. The woods around Crawford
ai\ all of them, and the children and
squirrels supremely happy„
The colored population congregate at
their church near here every night, and
cavort around until the “wee sma’ hours
aya**- the twal.” This is too much of a
good thing.
A fine pet hog, weighing some 200
pounds, belonging to Air. Norton, of this
village, has come up missing. AVe doubt
not but some suffrage-slinger has “ taken
him in out of the wet.”
Another corn-shucking took place at
the farm of Mr. J. J. Dillard on AVed
nesday night last. One of the bhovs,
who was on hand,says “everything went
lovely and the goose hung high.”
This is the season for a nice cold in
the head. Some of our readers may be
grateful to know that frequent teaspoons
ful of lemon juiee and sugar will posi
tively relieve the afflicted headquarter.
Now is the time for candidates to an
nounce their names. AVe charge only
$3.50 to publish them until the day of
nominating, the third Friday in Novem
ber next. Maimed Confederate soldiers
half price.
A heavy freight train passed Crawford
on Tuesday. AVe surmise that the mer
chants of Athens must be receiving new
goods. AA’hy don’t they let the people of
Oglethorpe hear where to find them, as
they are anxious to purchase ?
It is not high crimes, such a robbery
and murder, which destroy the peace of
society. The village gossip, family quar
rels, jealousies and bickerings between
neighbors, meddlesomeness and tattling,
are the worms which eat iuto all social
happiness.
Mrs. Bogle, of this place, is prepared
to accommodate the ladies of our county
with the lafce*at styles of millinery. She
is a lady of excellent taste, and ladies
desiring to be fitted to the latest styles of
dresses, and “ a perfect love of a bonnet,”
should give her a call by all means.
AA r e return our heartfelt thanks to those
subscribers who so promptly paid their
subscription, and hope the good work
will go on. If it is not convenient to
call at our office, leave the money with
Air, J. J. C. McMahan, who is authori
zed and prepared to receipt* for same.
One of our young bachelors says it is
awfully annoying to have some other
fellow’s clothes left in one’s room by the
washerwoman. Sunday morning he put
HV another fellow’s shirt, but couldn’t
wear it. Although it was ruffled around
the bottom, the sleeves were too short to
put cuffs on, and there was no place for
a collar.
FINE POTATOES.
A\ r e were shown this week by Air. H.
J. Pace three yam potatoes, the net
weight of which are over eleven pounds.
The potato crop this year is remarkably
fine, the roots being both large aud
numerous. They now- sell in market at
only fifty cents per bushel.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
AVe learn that a Justice of the Peace of
this county decided, a short time since,
that where a party rented land from an
other for a part of the crop, the owner of
the land had the right to appropriate a
part of the products of said land before
harvesting, as the landlord is part owner
in the growing crop.
A SUPERB PAPER.
AVe are in receipt of the Savannah Ad
vertiser, one of the best dailies in the
State. It is ably edited, handsomely
printed, and only $7 per annum for the
daily. If any one desires a first-class
daily or weekly from the seaboard, wre
cheerfully recommend this excellent
paper.
GORED BY A BULL.
One of the numerous bright little boys
of Air. Royal Stokelv, feeling his Span
ish blood begin to rise, sallied forth and
attacked a bull yearling, near his home.
The bull, as well as young Stokelv, had
his “ dander up,” and was anxious for
the fray. At the first round the bull
overturned his opponent, and so came
out victor. No damage save a skinned
cheek for the young belligerent.

MARRIED,
On the morning of the 15th inst., at
the residence of the late AVm. J. Park,
by Rev. AVm. A. Florence, Air. J. AV,
Bacon, of Lexington, Ga., and Airs.. Car
rie Thompson, of Oxford, Ga.
If the wishes of numerous friends
could be realized by the happy pair just
united, their future would be many years
of uninterrupted happiness, ending at
last with a rich reward for their many
kind deeds while on earth. L.
CHILD BITTEN BY A DOG.
A little child of Air. Benj. Paul, of
this county, one day last week, went into
a neighbor’s yard for the purpose of get
ting a bucket of water, when the little
fellow was attacked by a ferocious yard
dog and severely bitten. Dr. Adihold
was called it, and his wounds dressed.
AVe learn that this dog has frequently
bitten children, who chanced to enter
the yard. If we were the father of that
child we would speedily send his dogship
to the happy land of canine.
THE ECHO.
This issse of the Echo, owing to the
numerous trials and tribulations incident
the publication of anew paper, will be
found lacking that interest and amount
of reading matter we desire or intend it
shall contain in the future. AVe have
not as yet succeeded in securing a full
exchange list, and our force Ts short. So
we ask that our readers will bear with
us a few issues, until we succeed in get
ting under good headway, when we guar
antee to publish a paper that will please
all.
NEW HOTEL.
AVe learn that a movement is on foot
to erect a large hotel at this place, near
the Echo office. Such a building is sad
ly needed here. The present hotel, kept
in good style by a most estimable family,
is entirely too small. Only this week a
gentleman was desirous of engaging in
business here, but had to abandon the
idea, owing to his inability to secure
board for himself and family. Mr. Nor
ton, our architect, proposes to erect a
suitable building if someone will lease
it for five years. This is certainly a rafe
chance to embark in a sure and profita
ble business.
THE SENIORS.
This excellent debating society, com
posed of our young men, meet every
other Saturday night and discuss some
interesting subject. These debates are
always attended by the ladies, which adds
double interest to the occasion. The
points are generally well taken, and dis
cussed in a manner that would do credit
to more experienced heads. The Presi
dent, our popular and handsome young
townsman, Alartin Johnson, decides all
questions in accordance with the “ law
and the testimony.” His decisions never
fail to give entire satisfaction. He pre
sides with the ease and grace of a Pal
merston. This society is undoubtedly a
success.
STEALING A RIDE.
Some time since an old hen, with four
chickens, w r ent to roost on the couplings
of a freight car at Athens. After night
the car was coupled to the train and
carried to Union Point without disturb
ing the brood. On the return trip they
still remained in statue quo until their
arrival at Crawford, >vhen one of the
chicks flew off; another stopped at AVin
terville to take its morning drink, but
the bar being some distance, w r as left.
The old hen and two chickens reached
Athens safely. The last we heard was
that McAlpin wras hunting up the owner,
so as to collect fare. Taken altogether,
it was a most fowl affair.
The cotton crop of 1873-4 amounted
to 4,170,488 bales.
ALL FOR LOVE.
Story of Young Men who Would
A-Wooing Go.
WORSE THAN SNIPE-HUNTING.
A couple of the young bloods of Craw
ford visited Lexington one night this
week, for the purpose of calling on one of
the fair daughters of that classic little
village. One was a stranger, bearing a
Nimrodic name, and the other a resident
of Crawford, by business a changer of
the hues of buildings. They reached
Lexington after nightfall, having accom
plished their jonrnev on “ fooLbaek,”
and instantly repaired to the house of
the fair one, to wham the stranger, who
wc shall designate as Aigh, was intro
duced by his companion, who shall be
here known as Bee. Mr. Aigh, being a
young man of very captivating manners,
soon so far outstripped Bee in the good
graces of the fair one, that the introdu
cer began to rue the step he had
taken in presenting so insinuating a gen
tleman to her whom held his heart
strings as a boy would the cord to a kite
—to be elevated above the clouds or
dragged to the earth, at the pleasure
and will of the holder—and began to re
volve in his mind various schemes to get
his dangerous rival from the field. At last,
thanks to a naturally stregetic mind, or
the God of Love, who took pity upon his
disconsolate situation, a bright idea en
tered his cranium, which had been able
to contain nothing save the image of his
adored one for months past. He plead
indisposition, and insisted upon his for
mer friend (now rival) accompanying
him, as he felt “ kinder bad all over,”
and didn’t feel able to sit up longer.
Aigh, being of a naturally sympathetic
temperament, readily consented to quit
instanter the delightful realms he had
just discovered, and accompany his
friend. The young lady so far relented
as to contribute a vial of camphor to
bathe his fevered brow, and the old lady
gave a bundle containing a bunch
of boneset and six pods of red pepper, to
make the u poor gentleman” some tea.
After they had quitted the house, Aigh
was conducted around for some time by
Bee, who began to recover very rapidly,
and at last left, “ for two seconds,” in a
strange street.
Bee, feeling himself once more clear
of his dreaded rival, made rapid strides
back to the house he had quitted but a
short time previous, with a clear field
ahead.
Aigh patiently waited two seconds,
which slowly grew into two hours, and
then into four. At last, seeing no sign
of his friend, he began to retrace his
steps, and reached Crawford just as the
king of day began to illumine the eastern
horison. He quietly crawled into bed,
without offering up his usual prayer, and
was soon wafted to dreamland.
He arose next morning at 9:45, and
after borrowing and loading nine double
barreled shot guns, andstrapping around
his waist sixteen seven shooters and
three old sabers, filled his pockets with
rocks, and started in pursuit of his tor
menter.

FASHION DOTS.
Jet trimmings hold on.
Ladies inclined to embonpoint should
wear tightly gored skirts.
All cashmere overdresses must match
exactly with their silk underskirts.
Etiquette requires bridal gifts to be
sent a few days ahead of the event.
A white silk can be turned and reno
vated in fifty different ways.
The - simplest dress a young lady can
get is a w'hite tarlatan.
The most stylish hats for young ladies
are “ Rubens” felt, turned up with a sil
ver buckle, bound with velvet of the
same shade, the crown swept with a
rong ostrich plume which touches the
shoulder.

THE LADIES.
Nothing is more cheering to the dull
and monotonous life of the editor than
visits from the ladies. Their presence is
always a bright oasis in the dark and
sterile -waste of his existence. AVe al
ways feel better after our sanctum has
been honored aud brightened by the
presence of the fair ones, and renew' our
task after their departure with redoubled
energy. AVe are always happy to see
them in our office, and will take great
pleasure in showing them the various
stages of newspaper making.

IT’S TIME.
The depot at this place is being replas

for the sketches and writing on the walls
were not calculated to interest either an
artist or an orator.

POYNER HOUSE.
The traveling public will find here an
excellent hotel, kept by Mrs. Poyner,
whose greatest care is to see that her
guests want for nothing. The rooms are
scrupulously neat and clean, the beds such

so comfortable that it is almost an im
passibility to arouse the sleeper in time
for breakfast, the table supplied with an
abundance of the best the country af
fords, and the charges very moderate,
TAKE NOTICE.
I would respectfully and earnestly call
upon those indebted to the firm of R. S.
Martin & Cos. to lend them a helping
hand in this, their “ day of deep distress.”
I hope that the confidence I have placed
in my. old customers has not been mis
placed, and the best possible way to
prove that my estimate of them was cor
rect is fox them, one and all, to come
forward and pay off old scores, or so
much as they can, and show at least a
willing mind to help those who, on their
part, have aided them.

CARD FROM A. L. BROWN.
Lexington, Ga., Oct. the 13, 1874.
Mr. T. L. Gantt — Dear Sir: I deny
of writing any such notice as I saw
printed in your last -week’s papers, and
I hope your honor will allow me to cor
rect it, as it was somebody else ; for lam
sure it was not my writing.
A young man by the name of John
Smith has written some, but I cannot
say this is his, or I cannot say it is not.
But I know it is not A. L. Brawn’s
writing. .
Please correct it.
Very respectfully, A. L. Brown.

ENCOURAGING.
WHAT IS THOUGHT OF THE
ECHO BY THE PEOPLE.
From numbers of flattering letters re
ceived by us since the first issue of the
Echo, we cull the following :
Stephens, Ga., Oct. 14, 1874.
Capt. Gantt — Dear Sir: The first
issue of your valuable journal has been
received with gladness, and read with
delight by its subscribers in this vicinity.
Youradvice, “subscribe four theEcHOand
be happy,” should be taken by every* cit
izen in the county, and every one pos
sessing any degree of public spirit should
subscribe at once. Are we more inter
ested in Queen Victoria’s family than
| our own? Should we take a greater in
| terest in the State of New York than in
! the State of Georgia? Is there any inter
; est to the people of the county greater
i than that required in the progress of old
I Oglethorpe herself? The Echo answers
j no. Then why not throw aside a little
j of our selfishness, support a good paper
, published at home, a,nd transmit at least
an item to posterity ?
With much success, 1 remain yours
! truly, J. F. S.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 9, 1874.
• Mr. T. L. Gantt — Dear Sir: The
welcome Echo to hand, and like its pro
prietor, seems small to glance at, btit is
full of rich, spicy, as well as sound read
ing matter. Shall look forward with
j pleasure each day for its arrival. “ I
| could not but scringe for Bill in his aw-
I ful misfortune in losing his teeth, still
j worse his dilemma at the gate, and when
! the trace came unl.Lehed.
Yours, very truly, J. B. S.
Friend Gantt ; —’The Echos, in its
swadling clothes, came duly to hand.
The appearance of the infant is quite
creditable, and resembles its papa in tone
and address. Long may it cry out, and
its wail be heard from the snow-clad
hills of Maine to the gold region of Cal
ifornia. Your friend, J. C. W.
