HALF-SHEET.'
As will be seen, we present our readers
this week with a half-sheet. During the
past summer every journal in the coun
try has suspended publication more or
less times, hut the Echo has not missed
an issue or a mail. We give nearly our
full amount of reading matter, but leave
out some of the advertisements. We
will make up their lost time.
We had the pleasure of meeting, yes
terday, an particular friend, Mr. A. T.
Brightwell, of Maxey’s. If they ever
make cleverer men than Gus Brightwell
we would like to live near the manufac

humbug will be given uext week, by an
observer.
Hon. W. S. Williams at Home.—
We clip tlie following paragraph from the
Xapanee (Ont.) Leaver, which speaks for
itself:
Last Monday our Mayor, Walter Scott
Williams, and wife, returned home from a
somewhat protracted visit to the South.
His trip has certainly improved his phys
ical condition and appearance. He
speaks in the warmest and most pronounc
ed terms of the unvarying attention and
kindness extended him during his entire
journey, and lauds warmly the open-hand
ed hospitality for which the chivalrons
Southerner is proverbially noted. “Way
down South in Dixie” is to our genial
Mayor an idea and a myth no more, and
his memoties of that fair land, embalm
ed with so many pleasing associations and
experiences, will, no doubt, form a pleas
ing relief to the tedium of workingday
life. We give Mr. Williams and his
amiable wife a hearty welcome home.
Editor OglethorjK Echo :
In the last number of the Echo there
was a glowing description given of a bird
hunt, to which we propose to give the
sequel.
A certain individual met at the rendez
vous without gun or horse. Fearing to
let him venture out on such legs, though
body very gaunt, a friend proposed to
lend him a horse if be would go to the pas
ture and catch him. The pasture being
on the road, he took the sadle on his hack,
hired a freedman to accompany him and
set out to find the horse. After a half
an hour’s run he succeeded in capturing
the steed, and when he appeared upon
the field, we mentally congratulated him
on the fact that Nasbv wasn’t there. In
the course of the hunt we found a chestnut
tree and a hickory-tree, both well laden
with fruit. Instantly the gunless man be
ing very much anamored with the skill of
the shootists, began to beg them to shoot
some of the fruit down for him. They de
clined. “ Well,” he said, “ I will climb
the tree aud get some.” We begged him
not to do so, as one of the hunters iu the
rear might come up and seeing him up
their mightshoot him for a squirrel, as he
bore a striking resemblance to that ani
mal, “ Well,” he says, “by grauy, I'll come
here Sunday and climb the drotted tree
and get some, and sure enough he did” as
we have since learned. Though our dis
tinguished fellow-townsman had an
appointment on that day, his eloquence
had not half the charms ef those two
trees, and when we heard that this man
had a large supply of nuts laid up for
winter nights, we were reminded of the
little stanzas, “ How doth the little busy
CRAWFORD, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1875.
bee improve each shining hour.” During
that hunt a squirrel was killed and ye
gunless man eloquently described what a
nice pie he would have made of it. But
after having carried it nearly home he
took it out of the sachel to feast his eyes
upon it, when he noticed it had several
protuberances upon it. He says, “Hallo
Bill, what are these things on this squar
rel? “Oh,nothing,’’says Bill,“but wolves.”
He ripped out a cuss word and dropped
the animal, and any one seeing the
gloomy, disappoiment look which spread
over his countenance as his vision of a
nice pie disappeared would have pitied
him. Our friend was very handy hold
ing horses and pulling down fences, but
we will have to leave him at home next
time, as our horses, from some unac
countable cause, would endeavor to nib
ble him whenever he passed in front of
them. I guess, however, they tookjiim
for a corn-stalk.
A Shootist.
Mr. Editor : As the decline in cotton
has caused our farmers, generally, to put
on long faces, and almost tempted some
to curse their luck, I being, naturally,
one among the many, concluded I would
leave home for a day or two and visit
my friends down the country, and tender
them my sympathy in the hour of peril.
I think the farmers along the road, as
far as Union Point, will make corn in
plenty, except some few who failed to
pLqnt, and others too lazy to work it.
The cotton crop is turning out much bet
ter than anticipated awhile back. The
farmers around Antioch, Maxey’s,
Woodville and Union Point are carry
ing in their cotton to pay for the phos
phorus, or whatever you may term the
worthless, nasty, stinking stuff; and if
the truth was known, there will not he
many bales left after this imposition is
settled.
The steam cotton-gin at Antioch has
ceased operation, the engine having
failed, but I don’t suppose ’twill he long
before McWhorter & Young will have
another engine in operation.
I see your man at Maxey’s has erected
his new store, hut don’t suppose his
house, goods, or he himself is an-ticy
clone.
The man that cleared the $1,300 on
his farm of twenty-eight acres, I don’t
think, lives about Maxey’s.
The man out west of Maxey’s who
owned tlie 40-acre field of corn, on which
he used no manure whatever, was only
aided a little by tlnflielp of a double
handfull of cotton seed under every hill
of corn, what I call the best of manure.
In passing through Bairdstown, I got
a glimpse of Mr. Yellow and the little
Irishman.
On arriving at Woodville, where we
took dinner, after sharpening our appe
tites, we met with a good many stran
gers, and several acquaintances. Our
f end Joe is still agent at the depot, ai
ded by our little friend Bobby. Mr. W.
P. Me is still merchandising there, and I
think doing a good business. Mr. W. B.
Guill is still at his old stand ; has a nice
little dwelling-house, near his store,
where he keeps always on hand a nice
lot of family groceries, and at prices that
no one can complain of; sells his groce
ries and tlie like at from ten to twenty
per cent, profit ; commenced a few years
since with comparatively nothing ; says
the way he made his money was by sa
ving 50 cents out of every dollar he han
dled. He is a poor, helpless man, with
eleven in family, two of which are small
boys. He is running a small farm at or
near Woodville, which pays him hand
somely. He planted one-quarter of an
acre of upland in yellow goad-seed corn,
Ist of last June, without any manure on
it, and gathered it 28th October, after
his family of eleven in number eatraost
ing ears off of it, (which they were very
fond of,) until it got hard. A number of
hogs in it, two nights, eat and destroyed
a great chance of it. What was torn
down, he had gathered and fed to his
horse to keep from souring. After which
he gathered what was left, picked out the
rotton corn, and measured the sound
corn, which he found to be five barrels
and twenty-one pounds, off one-forth of
an acre. He has witnesses to prove this
—the quantity of land, corn, etc. At his
request, I went and looked at his pile of
corn to satisfy my own curiosity. He
will make 13 bales of cotton, besides po
tatoes, etc. Made six or eight thousand
bundles of oats. All a one-horse crop.
Can any of the phosphorous fellows beat
I this ? Let us hear from them after they
! pay the imposition bill.
With my respects, I remain yours,
Zero.
