V. RICHARDS & B JO.
\Ye invite the especial attention of our
citizens to the advertisement in another
column ol this splendid dry goods house
ol Augusta. Our handsome and popular
young countyman,Geo. Hall, who is now
in their employ, proposes to his friends
a plan by which they can he furnished
with any goods in then line, at lowest
Augusta prices, and lui\o them forward
ed with express free. 1 his will certainly
prove a great convenience to our citizens,
who will no doubt avail themselves of
this plan to secure first-class dry goods,
Jit reduced prices, sel eted and forwarded
by one in whom the\ can place every
confidence. George Hall is known and
respected by all of ear citizens as a young
man of integrity, honor, and energy, and
the Messrs. Richards may rest assured
that'when they ft'‘cured his services they
held the key that unlocks a goodly part
of the trade of Oglethorpe. This firm
now numbers ii their clerkatorial ranks
some of the ci emo of Northern Georgia.
They have Gt orge Hall, of Oglethorpe;
Ed Snelson, of Athens ; and C. B. Vail,
of Elbert-—a and superior yoting men. The
firm of V. R. Hibbards A Bro. is the
leading dr\ goods house in Augusta, and
our citizens should always give them a
call when they visit that city.
PERSONAL.
We s were happy to see a trio of our
Athens friends enter our office Thursday
morning—Wm. H. Hudson, lleury Mc-
Carty, and Wiley Childers. The former,
we ate grieved to learn, has left Athens
and taken a position as Express messen
ger on some line leading from Augusta.
God never made a cleverer or better fel
low than Bill Hodgson.
Fncle Jim England, of the live firm
of England & Orr, stopped in front of
our office, this week, to “ shake hands.”
V e were sorry to hear him speak oi go
ing to California. He must banish that
notion —Athens can’t afford to lose one
*>lAffer best merchants and citizens.
BLOWN HP.
On Thursday last, J. J. Dixon, white,
nnd Ssm Johnson, colored, while blast
ing rock, in the upper part of the county,
were blown up and pretty badly-burned
in' the -face and eves, but it is thought
neither of them will lsc their sight.
DEATH.
James Wagnon, son of Rufus Wag
non, died near Woodstock, on the 3d
Aged 4 years.
A LOFTY FALL.
Ben Paul, at W. J. Patman’s gin. fell
from the top story, a distance of twenty
feet. Billy Brooks says he was worse
scared than hurt.
STAND BACK. BOYS!
On Wednesday last, a little daughter
of Mr. John R. Colquitt, of this county,
only seven years old, picked 97 pounds
of cotton. Dido your faces, boys.
THE CHAMPION.
Little Woodie Arnold, seven years old.
is now entitled to the champion belt
among juvenile cotton-pickers. He re
cently picked G3 pounds of clean cotton
in three hours.
STRANGE PRODUCTION. .
We were shown by a gentleman some
of the balls that grow on a tree near the
Oconee river, in this county. Their shape
is certainly a curiosity. They are about
as large as the end of your finger, each
equipped with a mouth, and reminds one
very much of monkey and negro heads.
They have each a different expression,
some quite amusing.
FIGHTING PREACHERS.
A couple of negro preachers got into a
dispute in the pulpit, in Elbert county,
last Sunday, when one gave the other
the <l—d lie. The insulted parson fell
back on liis muscle, when a regular ‘'set
to” followed in elmreh. They were
finally separated by the congregation,
and their dispute amicably settled—one
being allowed to occupy the pulpit dur
ing the day and the other at night.
QUICK WORK.
We learn that Davenport’s steam
saw mill, not long since, received an or
der for a house at 8 a.m. By-8 p.m.
the stocks had been cut, hauled, sawed
into lumber, the house finished, and a
family living in it—all in one day. W.
H. Kidd, saw log cutter and hauler ; L.
L. Blackwell, sawyer; J. M. Doble, en

block turner; Wm. Davenport, colored,
lumber bearer.

FINE FISH.
We are indebted to Messrs: Bunkley
and Williams, baggage master and ex
press agent on the day train, for a string
of fine Ires!) fish. These gentlemen have
made arrangements by which they will
supply the citizens on the line of the
Athens branch with fresh fish every Fri
day. This is certainly a great conven
ience, and no doubt our citizens will
avail themselves of the opportunity to
have a delightful mess of fish once a
week any way. Both Bunkley arid Wil
liams are kind, clever, hononable gen
tlemen.
OO*.
CORN-SHUCKING.
We learn that another corn-shucking
came off at the farm of Dir. It. D. Slaton
the other night. The hands finished up
the “pile” about 11 o’clock, when they
danced around the house. Their noise
frightened off one. of the horses, which
has not been found as yet.
ANOTHER.
Our correspondent “Buck Snooker”
writes : “ I forgot to tell you that my
friend, Will R. Ellis, ■gave a corn-shuck
ing last Friday night. Ho had plenty
of black-haws, goobers, and chestnuts to
cat, and something to drink, too. He
made a fine chance of corn for his force,
about seventy barrels.”

HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Negro Child Burned in a Cabin.
Together vitl* a Dale and u HalT
of .Seed Cotton.
That the negro population of the South
is rapidly decreasing is an undisputable
fact. Like the Indian, we predict, in a
short time a negro will be something of
a curiosity. This happy fact is owing
altogether to emancipation. Asa slave
he was always well clad, fed, cared for.
protected, nursed and attended to when
sick, and the young received that atten
tion and nourishment so necessary to
rear them.
But as a freeman his situation is re
versed. He is left upon his own resour
ces—his natural barbarian instincts
again resume their sway, and he is fast
drifting into his old barbarous customs,
which, when brought into contact with
enlightenment and civilization, is sure to
result in the utter extermination of the
inferior. The free negro cares not what
a day may bring forth—he lives only for
the present ; winter finds him scantily
clad, with scarcely food sufficient to sus
tain life; their hovels are dens of filth
and vermin ; their children, when anv
are born unto them, are left to take care
of and rear themselves, and it has even
now come to pass that a negro child is a
rare sight. The race knows not the
meaning of the word virtue, for they
live more like brutes than human beings
(if such they are).
These remarks do not apply to every
negro, for there are some colored fami
lies who reflect credit upon the race—
they conduct themselves in a creditable
manner, try to lead honest lives, bike
proper care of their young, and vote the
Democratic ticket. But in our remarks
we allude to them as a race, not as indi
vidual and isolated cases.
One of the most melancholy cases of
these poor unfortunates occurred in our
county on Saturday last. A house owned
hv the children of F. M. Smith, about
one mile from Lexington, on the Wash
ington road, was burned. The house was
occupied by two negro women, named
Eliza Robertson and Harriet Gilbreath,
the latter a daughter of the former. At
the time of the burning there was in the
house, alone, a male cluld, about live
months old, which was entirely consum
ed, together with one and a half bales of
seed cotton, and everything owned by
these careless and unfortunate creatures.
The mother (Gilbreath) was, with other
children, in the field picking cotton, and
the grandmother (Robinson) was in town
at church. The cotton belonged to Mr.
Thomas M. Smith. The fire occurred
about 3 o’clock p. m. Carelessness the
cause.
A FOWL DECEPTION,
A family in this county was the own
ers of a hen that was guilty of a strange
deception, that caused her death. Last
year she was the belle of the barnyard
and the boast of her mistress, who point
ed her out to visitors as “the best lavin° -
hen in the county;” and many the time
and oft has the presiding cock of the
walk been forced to engage in battle with
some rival chanticleer who aspired to a
place in the affections of “speck,” the
name by which the subject of this sketch
was known. But to continue with our
narrative. After supplying the table
of her owners with eggs for a twelve
month,* she all at once ceased to bring
forth fruit. She would go to her nest,
set thereon, then jump off cackling, but
when the anxious mistress would rush to
the nest to secure the long-looked-for
“chicken fruit,” she found—nothing.
At last patience ceased to be a virtue,
and the death of “speck” was discussed
and decided on by the family. Bhe was
accordingly beheaded and picked, and on
being cleaned, was found to contain a
sack, that would hold a quart, which be
ing opened, was discovered full of hard
eggs. Did any one ever hear of the like
before ?
A BEET THAT CAN’T BS BEAT.
Our friend of the “noble ear rage and
virtuous look,” Mr. Stephen Stokejy,
presented us with a beet that can’t be
beat by any beet in this or any other
beat, county, or State. It measures
twenty-nine inches in circumference.
Uncle Stephen thinks he is a better far
! mer than merchant, but we can’t hardly
accredit that when we consider he start
ed life working at thirty-three cents a
day, and by economy, honesty, good
I management, and successful merchau
! dising has reached the topmost round in
j commercial life. He is certainly a self
-1 made made.
SALE STABLE.
Messrs. Gann <fe Reaves, of Athens,
have opened, in connection with their
livery, a sale stable, which they have
stocked with the finest lot of horses and
mules ever brought to this market. Any
one desiring to purchase such stock
should be certain to -call on this firm
and examine theirstables. On one thing
j they may rely—whatever Jina Reaves or
I Dave Gann tells them about an animal
is true.
“A CHEAP 1IOTF.I.”
The Adventures of an Oglethorpe man in the
“Gate City.”
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
There is a gentleman in this county
whom we shall call Captain—well, by the
name of a man who used to roam over
the seas, who is particularly noted for
his dignified manners and “noble bear
ing.” lie is a lean man, however, and
may not resemble the "fat man” in an
other respect; but he certainly loves his
money, as will be seen by a trip he
recently made to Atlanta. He went to
the Fair, fixed out in his best “store
clothes,” having left behind the cares and
troubles of every-day life for a week of
pleasure in the “Gate City.” He bought
a first-class ticket, and proceeded on his
way joyfully enough, for awhile. But,
alas 1 them Bti were gone, and then the
thought of paying the hotel bill for the
week flitted across his mind, and he was
troubled. Four dollars per day at the
Kimball House would ruin him—the
rates at any of the first-class houses were
more than he could bear. He was really
in distress until the train ran into the
car-shed, where all was bustle and con
fusion —the porters called boisterously
for guests for their respective hotels.
The Captain was on the look-out for his
man, when happily for him an old “ nig”
walked up to him and whispered in his
ear, “Cumgo long wid me. I keeps a
cheap hotel—good far.” That was
enough. The Captain went. After reg
istering his name, he was conducted to
his room—not a very decent one. The
bed had not been made up, and the dir
ty appearance of things in general made
the Captain suspicion something; but it
was cheap, so he brushed off the dust,
bathed his face, and went down to sup
per. Imagine the Captain’s fury when
he walked into the dining-room and
found the table filled with “cullud pes
sons,” and he the only white man pre
sent. lie had got into a darkies’ hotel.
The Captain “ chawed baceo,” cursed,
stood on his head, and llung rocks for a
while, and took tire next train for home,
and “swars” he will never go to Atlanta
again. Mum.
COURT OF ORDINARY.
At the regular term of the Court of
Ordinary, his Honor, T. A. Gilliam,
presiding, on Monday, 3d of November,
the following business was transacted :
George il. Lester was appointed ad
ministrator of R. R. Mitchell, deceased.
T. B. Moss was dismissed from the ad
ministration of the estate of Mrs. TX 8.
Hanson, deceased.
George W. Callaway was dismissed
from the administration of the estate of
John M. Callaway, deceased.
The application of M. F. and I. S.
Tiller to have their guardian, James M
Smith, removed, was dismissed.
Leave to sell the real and personal
properly of Mrs. Elizabeth Edwards was
granted to the administrators, 'A 7 . 11. and
T. J. Edwards.
Thomas C. Jennings was appointed
administrator of the estate of George W.
Bolton, deceased.
A HEAVY SALE. -
This week Tom Witcher was trying to
sell a customer some smoking tobacco.
After much “palavering” a trade was
struck, by which the purchaser was to
take all, the tobacco in the house at six
teen cents per pound. Torn went to
work and counted out one hundred and
thirty boxes of smoking tobacco, and
got Andrew Arnold, the celebrated jug
wrapper, to do them up for him. The
bill was made out, and Tom licked his
heavy moustache, thinking of what a
profitable and heavy sale he had made.
Tli(3 customer eyed the package curious
ly, and pointing to several boxes of sl-a
-pound chewing tobacco, quietly remark
ed, “ Thar’s some tobacco you hai-n’t
wrapped up yet!” ’Tis useless to add
that Tom wilted, and made his customer
a present of a good supply of the .weed to
rue with him. So instead of making a
big sale, it was only a big “ sell.”
TINE POTATOES.
We are indebted to our kind friend,
Mr. John W. Bacon, of Lexington, for
a bountiful supply of tile finest potatoes
(both sweet and Irish,) we have seen in
some time. One of the former was
'quite a curiosity, being in the shape of a
snake, when in its coil. Mr. B. is pro
prietor of the. Lexington Hotel, and is
known to all travelers as one of the best
and most popular landlords in the State.
Any one visiting our county without
stopping at his hotel misses one of the
institutions of old Oglethorpe.
That kind and clever gentleman, Mr.
Royal Stokely, handed us two potatoes
that weighed over six pounds. Can any
of our practical farmers beat them ?
MORE NEW GOODS.
Our friend McMahan, of the firm of
McMahan A Stokely, has just returned
from market, where he laid in another
fine stock of the newest fall calicoes,
together with a full stock of groceries,
boots, shoes, wooden ware, etc., which
they will commence to open to-day.
There were never a pair of more honora
ble, high-minded gentleman associated
together than the members of this firm,
and customers always know, in buying
i of them, that they are sure to get theig
money's worth.

The Crops—A Review of the Aim3 and Use
fulness of the Grange.
S AXL>Y CKOS!?, 0ct.31, 1874.
Edit tr O'/fetkorpo Echo :
Your paper meets with many admirers,
and justly so. too, since it contains news
in which we aie all interested—the local
news oi’ the noble old county of Ogle
thorpe, lately honored by the election of
Elder I>. \V. Patman and Dr. T. D.
Hutcheson to the Legislature. 1 think
if the people will respond to your request
lor correspondence from different parts
of the county, your-paper can bo made
doubly interesting ; hence, I am willing
to contribute my mite, hoping to elicit
from all parts a genere: ■ response.
M e have had frost i.ree consecutive
mornings,- which apparently dethroned
King Cotton, and wrote despair on the
face of his subjects ;but the fact is now
developed that but little damage has
been done, and that on bottom places,
near creeks.
I am happy to inform you that nearly
enough corn will he made in this section
to supply man and beast next year—an
exception, compared with several years
past. This result has been brought
about by increased acreage and good
seasons.
One is led to inquire into the cause of
tais change in the planting of t his coun
ty. In the beginning of the year 1873,
a mystic order made its advent into this
country, called the “Grange,” and said
to be a farmers’ concern, the ostensible
objects of which were to knock out mid
dle-men and advance the agricultural,
•social, moral, and intellectual standard
of the farming class. It was discussions
and resolutions of this order which
brought about increased acreage in bread
stuff*, and inaugurated a system which,
if adhered to, will bring peace, happi
ness, and plenty to our homes and fire
sides. But while much good has been
effected, is it not true that some wrong
steps have been taken, and others in eon
temptation, which weaken the order and
destroys much of its usefulness? One
great error was the taking in of members
not farmers, therefore not eligible, nor
materially interested, sinks into the
Grange. This error, however, sinks into
insignificance when compared with oth
ers now being enacted. Starting out ]
with the avowed object of knocking out 1
middle-men ! Is this grand scheme be
ing carried out? Nay ; on the contrary,
we see farmers trying to be middle-men
all through the country. Hence, we read
of Savannah River Valley Association,
the object of which is to establish Grange
warehouses ; Clark County Council Co
operative Stores, Cotton Tie Associations,
and last, but not least, Direct Trade.
Verily, it will take the last farmer in the
country to officer these enterprises. Who
will take care of the farms now ? Shall
the merchants ? The shoemaker fixes
the last and plies the thread upon the
boot, preparing some lad for the conjugal
hour ; the doctor put* spurs to his foam
ing steed, hastening to his patients bed
side ; but it seems now that we would re
verse nature and pay no attention to adap
tability. Farmers, return to your homes,
leave the merchants in their legitimate
and useful sphere, attend the meetings
of your Grange, work, act diligently,
drive the ploughshare of thought
through the heavy clods of ignorance,
and awaken to life and vigor the slum
bering energies of our people.

THE ELECTION.
The following is the full returns from
the various precincts in the county. As
will be seen, but a small vote was polled,
owing to the fact that no opposition was
ofl’eted by the Radicals, and hence a
carelessness among voters in the matter.
■Some few were opposed to the views
lately expressed by Mr. Stephens in re
gard to tbe thing in the Presidential
chair, and so would not have voted for
him had even opposition been offered; but
the majority of our people remembered,
with gratitude, his past able and honor
able career, and looked upon his present
unpopular stand as a stroke of policy,
and, if necessary to secure Ids election,
would have sacrificed both their time
and money.
The following are the full returns:

ATHENS IN A NUTSHELL.
Specially Reported for the Oglethorpe Echo.
Butter continues very high. A good
article brings 43c. per pound.
A large drove of fine fat beeves arrived
here Saturday last, for this market.
Luckcy & Yancey have a splendid sup
ply of jewelry, watches, etc., which they
sell at low figures.
Weatherly & Cos. sells first-class bacon
shoulders at 12}c.; and superior harm
at 18 Jo., per pound.
Hunter & Beusse are driving a line
gray horse to their delivery wagon—too
fine for so ignoble a calling.
The firm of Burke <k Hodgson will
dissolve at the end of the year. No two
cleverer men ever did business in any
city.
Sunday is a harvest for the livery sta
ble men. The darkies will have vehicles
] to i\ . out, if it takes their week’s wages
to pay for them.
The Newton House is getting a fair
run of custom, and well it may, for Cli
nanl keeps his table supplied with every
luxury the market affords.
Sunday was a clear day. The differ
ent pulpits were occupied by their re
i spcetivc ministers, and notwithstanding
: the cold weather the seats were general
ly filled.
Cotton came in freely last week, Satur
# * '
day being the last day of Oetobor. The
: farmers appeared anxious to meet their
| guano contracts, which expired on the
Ist of November.
An owl perched itself on the comb of
a house Sunday night, and Monday
i morning he was found dead in the yard.
| Whether he froze to death, or died from
i disease, no one can tell.
An accident occurred not long since,
!at the Pioneer Paper Mill. The steam
blew one of the heads out of the dryers.
Fortunately, no one was injured. The
| dryer is now at the Foundry for repair.
! That clever gentleman, Captain N ieker
; son, the Superintendent of the Athens
Foundry, is again to be seen on the
street, after a severe spell of sickness.
He is so kind, so cheerful, and so useful
a citizen, that every one seems glad that
he is recovering.
We have heard, with deep regret, of
the death of Mr. Singleton Lucas, son of
F. W. Lucas. He died suddenly at his
home in South west Georgia. He was
a high-minded, honorable gentleman.
His death is universally regretted by
every one in this community,
R. R. Godfrey, living near the city,
is a most successful farmer. With four
hands he has made 18 bales of cottoi*
100 barrels of corn, sold SOO worth of
j
; fodder, S2O dollars worth of shucks, $152
worth of hay, cut haule(h and sold S4OO
worth of wood, raised and fatten
ed his own bacon, and has housed enough
of every kind of food to support his
plantation another year. No use in an
industrious man leaving Georgia to “go
West.”
A clever young man of this city, who
all like, passing Talmadge & Hodgson’s
store a few days’ since, made some cheer
ful remark to one of the Talmadge boys,
who seized him by the leg, and with the
assistance of some of the young men
about the store, carried him to the count
ing roam, and “Modocked” him in first
rate style. Of course they were all par-,
ticular friends. The Talmadge hoys are
good at practical jokes. Speaking of
them, there arc no cleverer young men in
the city. Their store is well supplied
with every thing to tempt the appetite,,
which they sell as low as can be bought in
town.
CIGARS.
If you want to enjoy a good smoko,
step into a store and ask for one of Kal
i varinski & Liebler’s celebrated cigars.
and if the merchant does not keep them,
!go to someone who does ; and if after
i trying one of their brands you ever buy
any other, you deserve to smoke a clay
pipe and oak leaves the balance of your
life. In fact, their cent-a-piece cheroots
are as good as some dealers ten-cent ci
! gars. Dealers who desire to give their
: customers perfect satisfaction, should al
i ways buy of Kalvarinski & IJebler,
