RUBILSIIED WEEKLY LY
T. L. GANTT, Editor and Prop’r.
Cash Instead of Ceedit.— People
who can buv lor cash always buy cheap
er than those who buy on credit.
They buy also more closely, and select
more carefully. Purchases which are
paid for when they are made are limited
more exactly to the purchaser’s wants.
There is nothing like having to count
the money out when the article is bought
to make people economical. The amount
of indebtedness incurred is not much
considered when the pay-day is far off.
Persons who do all their business on a
cash basis know just where they stand
and what they can afford; consequently
they find few occasions, lor regretting in
a turn of times, that they have indulged in
this luxury at that, which they would
have foregone had they seen what was
coming.
Real wants are few and can be grati
fied for cash ; at all events they should
be limited to what can be paid for in
cash.
How much of anxiety, how many
sleepless hours, how many heart burn
ings, disappointments, and regrets would
be avoided if this rule were always
stricLy adhered to.
Analogies in Nature. —In many
respects, the cocoanut is like the human
skull, although it more closely resembles
the skull of the monkey, and may per
haps serve Darwin’s purpose as a link
between the two ; a sponge may be so
held as to remind one of the unfiished
face of the skeleton; and the meat of
an English walnut is almost an exact
representation of the brain. Plums and
black cherries resemble the human eye ;
almonds and some other nuts resemble
the different varieties of the human
nose ; and an open oyster and its shell
are a perfect image of the human ear.
“The shape of almost any man’s body,*
we are told, “may be found in the vari
ous kinds of mammoth pumpkins.” The
open hand may be discerned in the form
assumed by scrub willows and growing
celery. The German turnip and the egg
plant resemble the human heart. The
form of many mechanical contrivances
may be traced back to patterns furnished
by nature. Thus, the hog suggests the
plow 7 , the butterfly the ordinary hinge,
the toadstool the umbrella, the duck the
ship, the fungus growth on trees the
bracket.
Asa Council Bluffs woman was doing
her washing, one of her children fell into
a kettle of water. The mother seized the
infant, whose heart rending cries indi
cated the terrible nature of its injuries,
and deposited it upon a bed, while she
ran to a neighbor’s to get him to run for
a doctor. Before the doctor arrived, all
the neighbors had gathered, and among
them had dressed the screaming infant,
very carefully, so that the scalded skin
should not peel off—and sprinkled it
with flour. At length the doctor arriv
ed, almost at the same moment with the
terror-stricken husband, whom also the
-messenger had found and bidden to “go
home and prepare for the saddest news.”
The doctor made a careful examination
of the infant, and promptly advised the
mother to put a shirt or something on
the child, so it might not freeze to death.
The assembled neighbors one after an
other felt of the water in the kettle, found
it icy cold, and quietly separated.
An Insect Trap.-—A writer in a
French horticultural journal relates
sugestive experience : "After sun
set I place in the centre of my orchard
■an old barrel, the ins’de of which I have
previously well tarred. At the bottom
of the barrel I place a lighted lamp. In
sects of many kinds, attracted by the
light, make for the lamp, and while cir
cling around it strike against the sides
•of the barrel, where, meeting with the
tar, their feet and legs become so clogged
•that they fall helpless to the bottom. In
the morning I examine the barrel, and
frequently take out of it ten or twelve
gallons of cockchafers, which I at once
destroy. A few 7 pence worth of tar em
ployed in this way will, without any fur
ther trouble, be the means of destroy
ing innumerable numbers of these in
sects, whose lar\ae are amongst the most
destructive pests the gardener or farmer
has to contend against.”
Boosters, says Josh Billings, are the
pugilists among birds, and, having no
suitable shoulder tu strike from, they
strike from the heel. When a rooster gits
whipped, the hens all march off with the
other rooster, if he hain’t half so big or
so liausum. It iz pluck that wins a hen.
Roosters, az a class, won’t do enny
household work; yu kan’t git a rooster
tu pay enny attention to a young one.
They spend most of their time in crow
ing and strutting, and once in a while
they find a worm, which they make a
great fuss over, calling their wives up
from a distance, apparently to treat
them, but jist az the hens git thare, this
elegant cuss bends over and gobbles up
the worm. Jist like a man for all the
world.
To Subscribers!
-—o-
When we commenced the publication
of the Echo four months ago, there was
a distinct understanding with all sub
scribers that they must pay in advance
for our paper—we did not propose to
wait three, six or twelve months for the
money, as we could not afford it. We have
to pay cash for every article we use—
labor, paper, ink, material, fuel, provis
ions and clothing. How 7 , then, can we
give*credit and run bur business success
fully? One month ago I proposed to
erase from our subscription book every
name not paid up, hut at the earnest so
licitation of some of our friends, who
proposed to vouch for their reliability,
some 150 names of said-to-be good
and responsible men w 7 ere left oh our
books. Since that time the list of non
payers lias increased to near 250, making
about SSOO now due us through the
country for subscription alone. Two
dollars to each individual is a very small
sum indeed, but when you put several
hundred of them together the amount is
considerable. We now need every dol
lar of this money in our business, and
are forced to insist upon all of those who
are in arrears at once paying up. As an
inducement to that end we make this
proposition : According to the under
standing, all those who have been re
ceiving the Echo for three months, and
have not paid for the same, are now due
25 cents additional. All such w r ho will
forward the full amount of their sub
scription by the last day of this month,
(February,) will be relieved of that ad
ditional sum, and receive our kindest
thanks —all who fail so to do will have
their names POSITIVELY stricken
from our books, and their accounts in
full, with that amount added, forwarded
them for payment. You can forward
your subscription by Registered Letter,
paying all expense on same from the
subscription money. In order to let
each one know 7 whether they are in ar
rears or not, we will place opposite their
names, in Red Ink, a CROSS MARK—
meaning that you owe for your paper,
and we want and need the money. If
any one has paid any of the agents whose
names appear at the head of this paper
it is all right. None others (except the
merchants of Crawford) are authorized
to act for us, and parties handing outsi
ders money should know 7 their man, for
they do so at their own risk. Many gen
men of high standing has kindly collec
ted mono} 7 lor us. Of course w 7 e do not
refer to them.
August Flowers. —The most misera
ble beings in the world are those suffer
ing from Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaint.
More than seventy-five per cent of the
people in the United States are afflicted
with these two diseases and their effect,
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness, impure blood, heart
burn, waterbrash, gnawing and burning
pains at the pit of the stomach, yellow
skin, coated tongue and disagreeable taste
in the mouth, coming up of the food af
ter eating, low spirits, etc. Go to the
store of C. S. Hargrove, Crawford, Ga.,
and get a 75 cent bottle, or a sample
bottle for 10 cents. Try ft,
Notice to Contributors.
Communications for this paper must always
be accompanied by the names of the writers —
not for publication, but for our security. This
rule will be strictly adhered to.
To Our Friends in the Country.
Incidents frequently occur in this or adja
cent counties, an account of which, if prompt
ly reported to us, would add interest to our
columns. We therefore ask otir friends in the
different sections to drop us a line, whenever
anything unusual occurs in their neighbor
hood. It is not necessary that a long article,
ready for the press, should be written. All we
ask is the "points'—the date, names of the
parties and the nature of the occurrence
correctly stated.
Cut This Out, it May Save Your Life.
There is no person living but what
suffers more or leas with Lung Disease,
Coughs. Colds or Consumption, vet some
would die rather than pay 75 cents for
a bottle of medicine that would cure
them. Dr. A. Boschee’s German Syrup
has lately been introduced in this country
from Germany, and its wanderons cures
astonishes every one that try it. If you
doubt what we say in print cut this out
and take it to vodr merchant, C. S. Har
grove, and get a sample bottle for 10
cents and try it, or a regular size for 75
cents. G. G. Green, Woodbury, X. J.

The Auger is operated by either hand or

the former is Used. We can bore to any
depth, and as large a thirty-six inches in di
ameter. As soon sts the well is bored we tube
it from top to bottom with good inch lumber,
ripped in strips three inches wine, and of the
proper beveled edges to suit the inside of "the
well. The tubing nearest the surface will
last fifteen or twenty "years, and then 'Vdficith
pull it out and put in anew joint. That be
low the water will last for ages. The wodfi
causes the Witter to of it only a week 'b"r
so. Either pumps or buckets can be Used In
our wells. The bucket fills from a valve fh
the bottom. At the bottom of each well is
kept a galvanized iron bucket, left there for
the purpose of cleaning out the, well, which
can be drawn out at any time, and your well
thoroughly cleansed of the most minute parti
cle of trash or garbage that should chance r t 6
