Cut this Out; It May Save your
Litte. —There is no person living but what
suffers more or less from Lung Disease, Colds,
Coughs or Consumption, yet some would die
rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of medi
cine that would cure them. Dr. A. Boschee’s
German Syrup has lately been introduced in
this country from Germany, and its wanderous
cures astonish every one who tries it. If you
doubt what we say in print, cut this out and
take it to your merchant, Hargrove & John
son, and get a sample bottle for 10 cents and
try it, or a regular size for 75 cents. G. G.

FINE MUSIC.
Are you fond of music—vocal music—
music ala screamo de yell-o-africano di-
Avolo-tremolo screecho? We’ve got one.
It sings under our window from rosy
morn till eve. Now we like music
—anything from a Junebug tied by the
hind leg to the practicing of a brass band
—but—well, we would like a change ;
*ve are willing to try an accordeon.
A GENERAL THING.
Yesterday one of our merchants was
summoned to dinner, about 11:30, by a
juvenile Africano. Our friend asked,
■“How it happened that dinner was
served so early,” to which question he re
ceived the following answer: “We
Ain’t got much to cook to-day, Mas
Tom!” Echo answers, “ Here too !”

leave of absence for a few weeks.
—The Lexingtonian who “ took lem
onade in his’n” “ stood treat” for the crowd,
and has been in extra health ever since.
—Our young friend, John Bray, was
very low last week with cholera-morbus. We
are glad to announce that he is again on foot.
—lt is not singular that a good deal of
money goes where the woodbine twineth this
summer, when you remember that the wood
bine twineth on the new bonnets.
—The swimming season is now in full
blast, and the boys are getting their hair cut
short, so that it will dry quick, in order to de
ceive their mammas.
— Mr. James Harrison, who is working
the plantation of Mrs. Oliver, has twenty-five
acres of as fine cotton as we have seen this
year. His corn crop is also fine.
—Those live, wide-awake druggists of
Athens, Longs & Billups, are advertising ma
ny articles needed by our people. Give them
a call, and you will never regret it.
—W. J. Davenport’s steam saw-mill
has been removed to the plantation of Mr.

ford. It will be in operation again in a few

—Unless a vigorous application of the

—When you see a Crawford chap bent
up, and who refuses to be tempted to “budge,”
even by the allurements of a game of marvels,
you can set that fellow down as reaping the
fruits of that “ bait” of plums he had eaten
a few hours since.
—The tank at this station is nightly
ornamented with figures that are much im
proved after an application of a liberal sup
ply of soap and water. We would suggest
that they seek a more secluded spot to per
form their ablutions.
—A party will leave Crawford to-night
for Hall county, in search of Harris Pace.
The fact that he had on shoes and a clean
shirt when he left has led his friends to fear
that he has fallen a victim to the wrath of the
natives, and, ere this, fills a bloody grave.
—Our efficient Athens correspondent,
“ Mustopha,” owing to ill health, is now
spending the summer in the mountains of
Georgia, and consequently, for a short time,
our readers will be deprived of the pleasure of
perusing his interesting letters. We wish him
a pleasant trip and speedy recovery.
—Brooks & Roan have now their fine
thresher in full operation. We learn that
it is giving general satisfaction—making a
better turn-out and doing its work in much
less time than the old-style machine. Parties
desiring their grain threshed would do well to
hand in their names at once to either of the
proprietors.
—An Oglethorpe Granger came into
Crawford last week and ordered his hair cut
as close as it could be got. He told the boys
he suffered with headache from long hair;
but we heard him mutter to himself, after try
ing in vain to catchup a lock between his
fingers, that he “ would like to see the old
’oman dash his head up against the wall by
that har.”
—Those splendid merchants of Lex
ington, Messrs. Haire & Latimer, are daily
receiving splendid stocks of groceries. Otar
friends should bear in mind that they can
buy of this firm, for the cash, as cheap as
goods can possibly be sold in this section, or
prompt-paying customers will be accommo
dated till the fall, at a reasonable advance on
cash Remember, they are daily re
ceiving fresh goods and groceries.
—The new hotel at this place will be
opened about the 15th prox. To those of the
traveling public who are not acquainted with
Mr. R. A. McMahan, the landlord, we will say
that a better man for the position could not
be found. One has but to look in his face to
see kindness, accommodation and an innate
love of “ good eating.” His lady thoroughly
understands the culinary department, and we
feel asure that when one once sits down to a
meal prepared under her direction, they will
never fail to give the house a call on every
occasion. We know whereof we speak. Will
let the public know as soon as the house is
open.
PERSONAL.
Col. John C. Reed, of Union Point,
and Maj. Sam Hardeman, of Washing
ton, were in Lexington this week.
RQASTING-EARS.
On last Sunday, Mrs. Winfrey, of this
county, had a mess of the above popular
Vegetable for dinner. They were the first
of the season in this section.
HUGE SNAKE.
A rattle-snake, three feet seven inches
long, with eight rattles, was killed, on
the 18th inst., on the plantation of Maj.
C. G. Hargrove, by Mr. J. D. Hopkins.
■■§ § m
MESON ACADEMY.
We learn that Professor Moss has this
term sixty-one regular scholars, a larger
number than in twenty years. The ex
amination will take place the last week
in July.
CELEBRATION.
A. L. Brown, colored, requests us to
announce to the colored people that
there will be a grand celebration, given
by Friendship Sunday-school, on the
23d of July, between Lexington and
Crawford, to which all the teachers and
ministers are cordially invited.
DROPPED DEAD.
Mrs. Thomas Brown, an aged lady liv
ing near Bairdstown, in this county,
suddenly fell dead, last week, while in
her dining-room, superintending supper.
She was a most pious lady, and her loss
is severely felt by the entire neighbor
hood.
GELORIOUS RAIN.
On Sunday night our section was vis
ited by as fine a rain as we care to see.
Crops were beginning to droop, as also
the spirits of our farmers, but now all
wear a fresh and live appearance. It
came in exactly the right time and quan
tity. We believe it was a general thing
throughout the county.
OLD FIDDLE.
Mr. Mat Briscoe, of Woodstock, in this
county, has a fiddle that was made in
the year 1770—before we severed our
connection with a set of gentlemen, and
linked our destiny with a crowd of wood
en nutmeg manufacturers. Mr. B. should
have gotten up a centennial for that “ vio
lene” four years ago ; but, however, he
will have another opportunity in 1970.
TORNADO RELIC.
A piece of a poplar tree, about as large
as a telegraph-pole, with a splinter run
through it, came up on the train Mon
day evening, destined for Professor
Broun. It was the work of the first tor
nado that passed through this State, and
this relic shows that it possessed a force
unequaled by any known power. The
splinter, which is about three inches wide
and twelve long, is a part of an inch
plank. _
ANCIENT COIN.
We were shown on Saturday last, by
Mr. Frank Edwards, a Spanish coin,
bearing date of 1731, that a negro boy
had plowed up in a field on their place.
How it came there none can tell, but we
think, if it could but speak, some light
might be thrown on the early history of
our county, that is now sunk into obliv
ion. If it had only been dated a century
or so back, we might have woven a very
plausible story of Oglethorpe being in
the line of march of DeSoto and his fol
lowers.
BURNED.
The dwelling house and all the out
buildings on the plantation of Mr. Par
ker Calaway, on the line of Oglethorpe
and Wilkes, with all their contents, were
burned last Saturday night, about 9
o’clock. Loss about SI,OOO. No insurance.
ANOTHER.
A negro house on the plantation of
Mr. A. Witcher, near the Glade, was
burned -Sunday night last. All were
consumed except the occupants, and
they escaped with but scanty apparel.
-Cause of the fire not known, but suppo
sed to be carelessness. The house was
near Mr. W’s residence, and it was by
close watching and sweeping the fire off
the roof that he kept his own dwelling
from being consumed.
CONVENTION.
Let all bear in mind that our County
Sabbath-school Convention will convene
in Lexington to-morrow. We hope there
will be a full attendance of teachers and
superintendents, and all interested in
this great aud good cause. The fact of
the convention being held on Saturday
will, we know, prevent some from atten
ding, as that is the day of service in sev
eral of our churches. We regret that a
prior engagement will prevent our being
present, but our efficient Lexington re
porter, Mr. J. F. Murphy, has kindly
consented to furnish us with a full re
port of proceeding for publication. We
heartily extend the meeting our best
wishes for its success in inaugurating an
interest in the great and glorious cause
that it has espoused such as was never
before Jqiowp in our county.
COUNTERFEIT.
Admirably executed counterfeit sss
bn the First National Bank of Paxton,
111., are being freely circulated along
the line of the Georgia Railroad. Skill
ful experts are deceived by them.
A GOOD CHURN.
The Georgia Railroad should, by all
means, have the second-class coach on
this branch petented. A friend, last
week, after drinking a couple of goblets
of milk for dinner, embarked thereon,
and upon reaching Athens found him
self the proud possessor of a half-pound
of capital butter.
EXHIBITION.
Professor Cheney is preparing for a
glorious time at his examination. Well,
he knows as well how to get up a success
full entertainment as he does to “ teach
the young idea how to shoot,” and all of
his patrons know that he is as good at
that as at laughing. Could more possi
bly be said in a column ?
WOODSTOCK.
A young gentleman informs us that
this little village is in a most healthy
condition. They have a fine school, un
der Prof. Boggs, and all the requisites of
a live country village. The Echo, too,
is daily growing in with its
citizens, and is always received with
pleasure. An exhibition of the school
will shortly take place, of which event
due notice will be given by us.
IMPUDENT.
A gentleman informs us that the ne
groes of Bairdstown are very presumptu
ous. . They lounge around the stores,
stretched out on counters, play back
gammon seated while the whites stand
up, and conduct themselves in a most
free and easy manner. If the merchants
would make an application of the toe of
a boot a few times, we guarantee it would
have a most sanitary effect, and af
fairs would be made#iuch more pleasant
for their white customers. We believe
in treating the negro kindly, but, at the
same time in making him know his place.
They will then be just as well satisfied,
and regard you with more respect.
LAND RISING.
We learn that a gentleman, near this
village, refused S4O per acre for a tract
of land. We are also glad to note that
land has a general tendency upward all
over the county. We hail this as a good
omen. The day is not far distant when
this section of the South will be the gar
den spot of the Union. We have every
thing to render its attractive —health,
good water, a fine climate, soil that is
capable of a high state of improvement,
and good government. All we lack is a
reliable class of labor, and with that as
sured, we feci that every foot of land will
be utilized. We can here produce nearly
every article that is raised in any coun
try, and, with care and a judicious use
of fertilizers, in paying quantities. We
will always extend a hearty welcome to
all good and true men who settle in our
midst, regardless of their religion, poli
tics or land of birth. We can offer all
who desire to settle in our county in
ducements such as they can find in no
other section.
OUR LABOR.
We make the announcement with
pleasure that the negro labor of our
county, and, we believe, it is a general
thing throughout the State, is certainly
improving. Our planters can now place
more reliance in them, and they are
more constant to their work than at any
time since emancipation. They are
slowly but surely falling into their
proper channel, and we think, in a few
more years, the negro will be ac
knowledged as the best labor we can
have. Directly after the war it was al
most impossible to get them to hire for
wages, they being satisfied with nothing
short of an equal proprietorship in the
farm. The planters, we all know, en
couraged this suicidal policy, and not
only turned their lands and stock over
to their former slaves, but gave them
such a portion of the crop as amounted
to ruination to themselves. But the eyes
of all parties have been opened to their
error. The negro sees that he has not
the proper mind or judgment to man
age or conduct a farm, and that without
the direction of the white man his w r ork
is a failure. He, in consequence, is now
willing, yea, even anxious, to hire him
self for wages, and devote all of his time
to his employer. With this system of
labor assured, our farms will soon be
reclaimed—fences that have gone to de
struction since the war will be rebuilt,
new ditches made, old ones opened, and
much of our valuable swamp and low
lands reclaimed, and fresh fields cleared.
True, our labor is not by any means per
fect. Many freedmen still cling to their
old idol of “ forty acres and a mule,” and it
will take years of suffering to rid them of
his hobby ; but when we say our labor is
improving, we mean as class, and not
as a mass.
Thursday was the day observed by the
people of Missouri in fasting, humilia
tion and prayer, and according to an
Associated Press telegram, the grasshop
pers all left for Kansas that day.

A PLAIN TALK.
“Violet Hill,” June 21st, 1875.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
Will you permit me—while some of
your correspondents who, perhaps,
thought they “ had it all,” are in search
of something they have heard of, that, to
their surprise, they did not know before—
to occupy a small space in your best of
papers. I am seriously troubled. Every
thing has progressed to our disadvan
tage until it has become alarming, even
to one of my tranquil temperament. I
fought, bled and well, liked to have
died in the late contest. I came through
safely, however, with high hopes of a
bright future. The want of judgment,
which indulged such absurd expecta
tions, has produced petulance in the sad
disappointment. Cotton is King, and
hard times have been the cries ever
since. Experience has taught me, and
thousands of others, if they would truth
fully confess, that cotton is not King ;
but does govern with a rod of iron a
large portion of our poor, unthinking
people of the South. The most prolific
cause of our helplessness is the great
number of people who are looking for
easy work, that will bring them heavy
gains. If all men were to pull off their
coats and roll up their sleeves, and g© to
work in earnest, then Jordan would not
be such a “ hard road to travel I believe.”
Many, I know, will starve nigh unto
death before they will try the experi
ment. Be it so. In my vicinity we live
by the sweat of our brows, and have not
quite so much to complain of. We
would say unto others, go do likewise,
and you will be happier. But, alas ! for
human happiness, it will never be per
fected on earth.
When we are rid of one trouble anoth
er comes which, to us, seems more griev
ous than the one preceding it. As I
said before, I went through the war,
have withstood the times which have
followed it, and now, oh! Jerusalem,
how the wind blows I I am awfully afraid
of storms, and particularly of a certain
motion of the air which “ old sheep”
call cyclones. I suppose it means a
wind that blows in a circle, or twist and
with a “ quirk” I don’t want any critic,
or any other man,*to correct me in this
impression. If small men do suffer them
selves corrected in their understanding
of words, I might not like it. There is a
“ new issue” now, which is too frightful
to comtemplate. This invention, I think,
is called a simoon. It is said to be very
hot air that goes with a vim. I must
have some protection against these des
tructive visitations—a cyclo-simoon
proof. I want it deep down in the
where the wind cannot blow,
nor the hot air reach me. I have an
indistinct recollection of having seen, or
heard, of some kind of an implement,
with which a hole can be bored plump
through to the other side, if desired.
That is the very thing I am hunting for.
If you can give me any information as
to where such a contrivance can be found,
I shall be greatly obliged.
We have just had a much needed and
refreshing season. Crops, in conse
quence, have assumed a flourishing ap
pearance. Wheat all harvested, and the
yield good. I trust this may be a year
of plenty, and that hard times may come
again no more. *
If any more of your readers complain
because you do not run a paper by their
schedule, they must be nervous, or bil
lions, and actually need treatment, and if
you will acquaint me with the facts, I
will send you some of my Panticuri
nervo-bitlium Powders for them, a box of
which will make them appreciate your
paper as you give to them. It is ascer
tain cure for all manner of diseases in
ancient and modern humanity. Hoping
you and the Echo may expand as long
as there is room for you to grow,
I remain your humble servant,
John W. Kidd.

WHAT IS THE MATTER ?
Editor Ogleihotpe Echo :
We see that you refuse to publish a’
communication in relation to the dis
tribution of money and supplies by the
committee to the tornado sufferers, for
want of name signed to said communi
cation. You did right. It matters not
to ns who wrote said communication.
What is the matter ? Let the matter be
whatever it may, we would like to see a
complete statement of the proceedings of
the committee at Maxey’s—the amounts
received for sufferers ; from whom re
ceived ; how much was in money ; how
much in provisions and goods; how many
sufferers, heads of families ; how many
white, how many colored ; what was the 1
nature and the amounts of the damages
of each ? The committee will see im
mediately the importance of complying
with above, in order to exonorate them
from all blame, and the wag of talking
tongues. Last, hut not least, was the com
mittee chosen by the sufferers ? Did the
committee assess damage from actual
observation ? Did they all meet and di
vide, by direction of committee, what was
received ? Imperial.-
“FRANK.”
We again, in this issue, present our
readers with some lines from the gifted
lady who writes under the above non de
plume. Like all of her productions, they
are exquisitely beautiful, and worthy of a
place beside those of tlie most popular
writers. We are glad, too, to see her
productions*are being copied, with com
plimentary notices, by the press of the
country. When w r e think of such a fine
order of talent as this lady possesses ly
ing dormant at the South, while in the
North it would be extolled to the skies, we
feel more than ever incensed at our peo
ple for not supporting first-class literary
papers, through which we can “ bring
forth” our slumbering claims, and prove
to the world that we are not behind them
in this particular. We would be de
lighted to hear from “ Frank” every
week, for we assure her that the articles
from her pen are always read with rare
interest and appreciation by all.
A. A. BELL.
We were glad to meet in our village,
on Monday last, the above-named gentle
man, who is a member of the pupular
firm of Summey, Hutcheson & Bell, of
Athens, who have one of the finest and
largest hardware establishments in this
section of the State. Mr. B. is truly.a
self-made man. A few years since he
commenced life in Athens without a
dollar, and by indomitable energy, good
management and strict attention to busi
ness, now ranks among the leading mer
chants of that go-ahead city. He in
forms us that the business of their firm
has greatly increased the present year,
and that they are getting a much finer
trade from our county than ever before,
which fact he very properly attributes to
their advertising in the Echo. We hear
tily recommend this firm to our readers
in need of any article in their line. Each
member is a gentleman of the first water.
NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
We have received from Geo. P. Rowell
& Cos., New York, a copy of their
“ American Newspaper Directory” for
1875. It is unusually large, 4& lta i n i n &
984 pages, and is gotten up in splendid
style. It contains a list of every paper
