DEATH OF JOSEPH HENRY LUMPKIN.
It is with a sad heart we chronicle the
the death of one of our most beloved,
popular and leading young men. Joseph
Henry Lumpkin calmly breathed his
last, on Sunday, the Gth inst., in the city
of Atlanta, surrounded by his mother,
sister and brother, the two former of
whom were summoned to his bedside by
telegraph, and arrived in time to bid a
long farewell to a devoted son and broth
er. But we feel that their separation
will be but for a few short years, at most,
and they can rejoin him in that bright
and happy land where there will be no
more death and parting. With a record
of spotless purity, a heart as kind and
tender as ever animated the breast of
man, aud a strict sense of honor, we feel
that the soul of our young friend was
wafted to heaven with his last breath.
So let his friends bear their affliction
with that fortitude given by the knowl
edge that the departed is “ not dead, but
only gone before.” “ Their loss is his
eternal gain.”
The deceased had just arrived at man
hood, being 21 the 2d day of last Janua
ry ; was grand-nephew of Chief Justice
Lumpkin and brother to the present So
licitor General of this circuit. The de
ceased was for a short time editor of the
Lexington department of the Washing
ton Gazette , and while holding that posi
tion proved a graceful writer. He was a
member of the Baptist Church, and an
active worker in the cause of Temper
ance. During his entire life he was no
ted for his great regard for the truth.
Joe was first taken sick some four
months since, while in Atlanta attending
medical lectures, with what turned after
wards into “peritonitis,” and although he
had the best medical attention that city
could produce, and untiring nursing,
death claimed him for her own in the
bloom of youth and manhood.
His remains were brought to this
county, his old home, and interred at the
family burial ground, five miles from
Lexington, on the Washington road.
ANTIOCH CHURCH.
On Sunday last we attended services
at this church. We found a large and
well ventilated building, in a beautiful
oak grove. The services were conducted
by that most excellent minister and gen
tlemen, the Rev. Mr. Landrum. On that
day he preached the funeral sermon of
Mrs. Thompson, and it has seldom been
our province to hear such au impressive
and learned discourse as that delivered
by the Reverend gentleman on this occa
sion. We were glad, too, to see that his
words had an effect upon many of the
callous hearts present, which was evin
ced by copious tears, let us hope of re
pentance. We have never witnessed a
more refined or attentive audience. Long
may the minister’s words of counsel and
and admonition ring in their ears, and
may each and every one present come
finally come to the determination to lay
aside the vanities and resist the manifold
temptations of this world,and prepare to
meet that Saviour, who died that they
might live. We congratulate the congre
gation upon having s') eloquent and pure
a pastor.
HARVEST DINNER.
On Wednesday last, by invitation of
Mr. F. T. Berry, we partook of his “har
vest dinner.” 'to say the table was
groaning beneath the best the country
affords is superfluous, for the whole coun
ty knows that Tom Berry understands
providing for his table as well as he does
making fine crops, and the ladies know
just how to fix them up. He had one of
those good, old-fashioned dinners that
our city friends read about. But we did
not enjoy it a hit—only weighing thir
teen pounds more after rising from the
table than we did wdien we sat down.
After dining we took a little jaunt over
•the farm. His crop was as clean as a
garden, and everything green and flour
ishing. We think he has the “ brag”
piece*of upland corn of the county. If
our county was filled with such men as
Tom Berry these old red hills would soon
“ blossom as the rose,” and we could
tear down the jail and dispense with the
court house.
AN ANTIQUITY.
"VV e think thiuk the Athens branch can
now boast the veritable passenger coach
that Noah brought out in his ark. The
coach that has been on this line of late
has been taken off, and this thing sub
stituted therefor. To describe it is an
impossibility, for it has such a mongrel
appearance that one would suppose it a
cross between an old hackney coach and
a stock car. We cannot imagine why
the authorities foisted such a thing upon
us unless it was to effectually separate
the two races. If such is their reason
it is certainly a success, for no darkey
would enter it, voluntarily, unless blind
folded. We ask the authorities, if they
can do no better, to have os a freight car
cleaned out, seats placed on the wood
tender, or sell out the road to some com
pany who can or will furnish us a passa
bly decent coach.

MARRIAGE.
Prof. A. B. Ilalwiek, the well-known
rope-walker, was married to Miss Ella
Beusse, of Athens, on Wednesday last.
CHAMPION FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
I will exhibit at Crawford, on Satur
day, 12th inst., the celebrated Champion
Fire Extinguisher. Every farmer and
owner of property should see it. The
most complete and perfect protection
against fire ever invented. Come one,
come all, and see it. Exhibition will take
placeat 5 o’clock p. m. E. E. Jones.
SAD DEATH.
Died, at Woodstock, in this county,
on Sunday last, Mrs. Augusta Daniel,
consort of J. J. Daniel, and daughter of
Judge James Drake.
Mrs. Vollie Johnson, wife of I. W.
Johnson, Jr., died on Friday last. She
was a member of the Methodist Church,
a most estimable lady, and leaves an in
fant only two days old. She was for
merly a Miss White, of Coweta county.
HONORARY.
Col. J. D. Mathews was elected by the
Baptist State Convention, recently as
sembled at Milledgeville, a Trustee of
the Mercer University.
Col. Whitson G. Johnson was appoint
ed a member of the Board of Y isitors
of the Masonic Female College of Cov
ington.
Better appointments could not have
been made.
FINE WHEAT.
Mr. A. G. Power, of Goose Pond, sent
us this week two of the finest heads of
wheat we have ever seen. They measure
5j inches in length, are well filled, and
contains five grains to the “ mash.” On
one head a friend counted 107 grains.
We would like our friend to write us the
name of this wheat, and his plan of culti
vation. There is on old adage that “fid
dlers are good for nothing but hell.”
Goss has certainly given this the lie, for
apart from being one of the finest per
formers on the violin we ever listened to
he has proved himself equally as good at
that most honorable and ennobling of
all callings, tilling the soil.
FOR COLIC.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
As this is a very dangerous season for
horses to kill themselves by drinking an
over-draught of water, while very warm,
I herewith send you a simple remedy for
same. It is also a remedy for colic:
Take two-thirds gill spirits of turpentine,
warmed to a little above blood heat.
Then take a small woolen rag, and rub
on both sides of the neck —the large vein
where horses are generally bled—also on
veins under the flank, near the girth.
Rub rapidly. Let your horse loose and
his recovery is sure. I have practiced
this for 20 years, and never failed to
cure. M. Edwards.
CELEBRATION.
Lexington, Ga., June 10, 1875.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
I noticed in your last w r eek’s paper a
suggestion from Capt. Tiller, that we
have a County Sunday-school Celebra
tion, and that the superintendents and
teachers met at Lexington on 4th Satur
day inst. I agree with Capt. TANARUS., and re
quest that all superintendents of the
different schools, or, at least, a delegate
from each, meet at the Masonic Hall at
Lexington, as proposed by Capt. Tiller.
We will be glad to meet as many as can
come. Respectfully,
R. C. Latimer,
Superintendent of Union Sunday-school,
Lexington.

OUR ATHENS LETTER.
Athens, Ga.
j Dear Echo :—The past week has been
one of interest to the Agricultural De
partment of the University—the formal
opening of the Moore building, a gift of
the city of Athens to the Agricultural
College. It has been named in honor of
one of the most distinguished citizens
that this place has ever furnished—Dr.
R. D. Moore—who, in life, was a friend
of the College in the strictest sense of the
term. Unfortunately, he did not live
to see it completed. Four public lectures
have been delivered, to which all were
invited. I hear them highly spoken of.
Where all did so well, it would be an
injustice to say which did the best. It
is now to be used by the Agricultural
students. The building is a beautiful
structure, was planed by Prof. Char
bonnier, of the University, and cost with
in a few dollars of bis estimate.
I am sorry to say that I cannot furnish
your readers the names of the house
breakers and robbers, expected by this
week’s letter.
The city looks every day like Sunday
—so quiet. I have seen but one “ drum
mer” in some time. No demand for
them here at present.
On Monday last the quiet was slightly
broken by “dodgers,” stating that the cele
brated Confederate scout and spy, Belle
Boyd, would lecture at Deupree Hall, at
Bp. m. With the train came the person
calling herself by that name, and we are
far from being desirous of questioning
her identity. From her past acts it
would hardly be safe. It seems that
our folks were not in the lecture mood,
or scarce of the “ rhino,” as she failed to
get up an audience —only one or two
tickets sold. We have had the pleasure
of seeing Belle Boyd during the war,when
she held a lieutenants commission in the
Confederate army. We did not sec the
Belle Boyd when here. I think we would
have known her, as the features arc or
were strongly impressed on us, as we saw
her daily for a week. She was dressed,
then, somewhat in a different style to
what she adopts in these days of peace!
I promised you a statement of the
Southern Mutual Insurance Company.
As it is published, you can select as you
desire best. It is in a fine, sound condi
tion, amply able to meet all its risks.
We came very near having material
for a local about sundown Monday even
ing. Mr. T. W. Rucker, one of the most
promising young lawyers in the place,
was driving “ down town” with some
young friend, in a buggy. When near
ly opposite the Catholic Church, some
part of the harness gave way. This
caused the vehicle to run on the horse,
that started him at full speed. One
fore-wheel soon broke entirely off,
which threw both out. The horse ran
to opposite J. S. England’s, when he fell
in jumping a ditch, the buggy turning
bottom side up, on top of the “fiery
steed,” holding him down. As soon as
released, he got up, not much hurt, but
the buggy was pretty badly smashed.
W e are glad to be able to say that neith
er young men were hurt, beyond some
slight bruises.
The rains have improved the appear
ance of the crops very much. Some are
now engaged cutting wheat. I hear some
say “it is splendid”—others complain of
not being hardly worth cutting. But
still they seem anxious to save it. They
belong to that class of grumblers, some
of whom are in every neighborhood, who
never get anything to their notion. My
observation is that wheat is very good
—have seen better and much worse. I
saw one field of oats cut, that was sowed
in the fall. It was as fine as could he
wished for.
We bad a very quiet marriage last
week —your friend, Rich Roe, and Miss

Haudrup. They went to house-keeping
next day, as he had prepared the retreat
before taking the help-mate. May their
lives be pleasantly spent together. They
have showed what a great many new
married ones are afraid to do in this fast
age—acknowledged they were poor, and
commenced in accordance with their
means. AV T ould that more had the moral
courage to do likewise. The most of
new beginners want to set up in a No. 1
style. Debts accumulate, poverty comes
in at the door, and love flutters out at
the window. We predict for Mr. Roo
and his lady wife a life of usefulness, and
eventually a full competence for the
evening of their lives. They have com
menced right. May the choicest bless
ings rest and abide with all such.

Another Appeal.—As the report
that we are very wealthy has gone abroad
among our subscribers and has made
them awful slow about paying up, think
ing, doubtless, we don’t want the money,
we hasten to say the report of our wealth
is false in every particular. If ocean
steamers were sellinat a cent a dozen,
we couldn’t make the first payment on a
canoe. The lightning of poverty has
struck us square, and had it not been for
an armful of hay our devil managed to
steal from a blind mule, our large and
interesting family would be without a
mouthful to eat this moment. Is not
this a sad picture, and can you, delin
quent subscribers, look upon it without
feeling the greenbacks rustle with indig
nation in your poeket-books? We do
not like to dun you, but we must if you
fail to take the hint.
Hill-Brownlow.— Parson Brown
low comes out of his sepulcher to snarl
and snivel at Gen. D. H. Hill. The
western papers make it out that the Ten
nessee leper has grappled with Gen. B.
H. Hill. If Hen. B. H. Hill undertook
to fight the old polecat—which he has
too much sense to do—he would take his
rank hide off and nail it up against the
first pig pen.— Constitutionalist.
Mr. Hill could not consistently place
Brownlow’s hide upon a pig pen, because
lie has a great desire for the prosperity
of the South, and such an act would cre
ate hog cholera, and destroy all theswine
in East Tennessee, thereby bankrupting
those prosperous people.— Gainesville
Southron.
No Mytii. —lt is a mistake to suppose
that the lady who concealed herself in a
room where a “ lodge” was about to lie
held, and who when discovered was com
pelled or allowed to be initiated, is a
myth. The “ clock-case” may be a myth
but the lady was not. She was the Hon.
1 Mrs. Aidworth, and continued through
I life to take an active interest in the Order
| into which in her youth she had strangely
! gained admission. fshe founded the
| Dublin Benevolent Institution for Or
-1 phan Daughters of Masons. Her portrait
j still hangs in the principle lodge-room in
! Cork, and under it, in a glass case, the
i apron and jewel she used to wear when
she attended the lodge-meetings.
A Remarkable Cemetery. —A cu
rious cemetery exists in Paris. Nothing
human is interred therein, yet it has its
I dead celebrities, its graves, sought by the
multitude that remember the occupants,
the Yoricks who have delighted them in
life. This graveyard is almost a parody
cn the solemn sleepers who have had
Christian burial. This is the official cem
etery of the Jardin des Plantes, Over
seven hundred bodies of animals that
have died are buried in it. The favor
ite elephant Chevrette ; the first giraffe
ever seen in Paris, and lately the huge
rhinoceros, is there. The rhinoceros
was one of the best known of all the ani
mals in Jardin, having been in captivity
nearly thirty years.
—Our town is occasionally surenaded
by the howling of dogs. A person said
he thought they were the Greensboro
brass band the other night when they
first commenced.
Weatherly & Cos. arc now receiving
a large lot of dry goods, boots, shoe*,
crockery, glassware, etc., etc. &j#cial
