A VERY GOOD REASON.—The reason
why only one sample bottle of Jferrell’s Hep
atitic for the Liver will be sold to the same
person, for tea Cents, bv our Druggists. Haike
& LATIMER, is because of the enormous ex
pense of importing the llepatiue into this
country; but as there are fifty doses iti the
large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose
is cheap enough after all for a medicine that
cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All
who have not had a sample bottle are entitled
to one for ten cents, at Haike A Latimer’s
store. Three doses relieves any ease of dys
pepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver emu
plaint, in the world. Regular size bottles,
fifty doses, SI.OO. aug7-ly.
HOW IT IS DONE.—The first object of
life with the American people is to ‘’get
rich” ; the second, how to regain good health.
The first can be obtained by energy, honesty
and saving; the second (good health) by using
Green’s August Flower. Should you be a de

dysne psia, liver complaint, indigestion, etc., 1
sucn as sick headache, palpitation of the

On Sunday last, together with Captain

several things we there noticed, that are wor

Miss Ella Burton, of this counlv, has
been a confirmed invalid for a number of
years, and a number of leading physicians
pronounced her case incurable. At last the
Drs. Durham, of Maxey’s, were called in,

the young lady’s father, which we publish for
the benefit of those suffering from diseases
pronounced by other physicians incurable.
This is only one case among thousands where
these gentlemen met with like success.

The Katy-did is now heard nightly on

and the shadows are gathered about, he lifts
up his voice loud and long, and through the

is yet unwritten and unsung.

THE I>E.HOC RATS.
Official I’rnrcisliiigs of the Ifvcting in
Lexington Last Tuesday.
Lexington, Ga., Oct. 2d, 1877.
Pursuant to a call from Arthur llaire,
chairman of the Democratic party of
Oglethorpe county, to take such action
as might be deemed expedient in relation
to the selection of a candidate for Sena
tor from the 30th senatorial district at
the approaching election in December
next, and for the transaction of other
business, an unusually large meeting of
the Democrats of said county assembled
in the Court House to day.
The chairman called the meeting to or
der and stated that in accordance with
previous announcement Mr. Lump
kin wonld no%v address the meeting on
the subject of the new Constitution.
Mr. Lumpkin then addressed the meet
ing, explaining in detail the provisions
of the new Constitution and the changes
proposed to the Constitution of 1868.
Hon. James M. Smith was then called
for and responded in a very happy
speech,w’hich was received with great ap
plause.
Mr. Samuel Lumpkin then offered the
following resolution which was uuani
mously adopted :
Resolved by the Democrats of Ogle
thorpe county, that the new Constitution
submitted by the late convention meets
with our hearty approval and endorse
ment, and should receive the cordial
support of the whole people of Georgia.
Framed by the truest and best men of
the State, with careful and well consid
ered regard to the best interests of our
entire population, it is in our opinion, an
instrument worthy of this grand old
commonwealth. Under its provisions,
we confidently predict that the present
and future generations will enjoy the
blessings of good government and a re
newed and lasting prosperity.
Col. J. D. Mathews then offered the
following resolutions:
Whereas, we believe that the Demo
cratic party of the 30th senatorial dis
trict will acquiesce in the selection of a
candidate from the county ofOglethorpe
for Senator in the approaching election
on the first Wednesday in December
next, therefore,
Resolved, that we hereby recommend
the name of Samuel Lumpkin as the
choice of the party in this county for
that office, and feeling sure that, if
elected, he will fully and ably represent
the interests of the entire district, and
make a capable and faithful Senator,
we earnestly invite the Democracy of
Madison and Elbert counties to unite
with us in giving him a cordial and gen
erous support.
Resolved, further, that in taking this
course, no departure is intended from a
Senatorial nomination by a district con
vention, i the same is desired by the
Democracy of Madison and Elbert coun
ties.
Col. D. C. Barrow offored the"~lblk>w
ing as a substitute for the resolutions
proposed by Col. Mathews :
Resolved, that on day of the
present month, the Democrats of Ogle
thorpe county are invited to meet at the
several places of holding elections in
said county, to select one delegate from
each militia district _of said county to
meet like delegates of the tivo other
counties composing the 30th Senatorial
District, for the purpose of selecting a
proper person to represent in the
Senate of the next General Assembly.
The subject was then discussed by
Cdl. Mathews, Hon. John T. Hurt, and
Rev. J. G. Gibson, who favored the res
olutions offered by Col. Mathews, and by
Col. Barrow, who spoke in favor of bis
substitute. Col. Mathews stated that
he did not believe that the Democracy of
Elbert and Madison would desire a Sen
atorial convention at this time, but if
mistaken in the opinion, and they de
sired and called such a convention, then
under the resolutions offered by him we
would cheerfully send delegates to meet
their delegates at such time and place as
might be appointed, that this was the
spirit and intention of said resolutions,
and that they contained nothing to the
contrary. Col. Barrow insisted that the
plan proposed by him was thejproper one
and should be adopted.
A vote was taken on the substitute of
Col. Barrow and it was defeated.
The original resolutions offered by Col.
Mathews were then unanimously adop
ted.
On motion of the Hon. John T. Hurt
it was then resolved that a copy of these
last named resolutions signed by the
President and Secretary of the meeting
be forwarded to the President of the
Democratic party of each of the counties
of Elbert and Madison.
Col. Mathews then introduced the fol
lowing resolutions which after some dis
cussion were adopted :
Besolved, by the Democratic party of
Oglethorpe county in mass meeting as
sembled :
1. That a primary election for two
Democratic candidates for Members of
the House of Representatives be held, in
accordance with the party usage hereto
fore established, at the several Justice
Court grounds in the various militia dis
tricts of the county and at the town of
Crawford on Saturday, the 13th day of
October 1877.
2. That the eh 'tion at each of the
said places and at ~aid town of Crawford
be superintended by one Justice of the
Peace or ]%tary Public, and two other
members of the party, or if a Justice or
Notary public is not in attendance then
by three members of the party. The
polls to be opened at each of said places
at 9o'clock a. m., and closed at 4 o’clock
p. m.
3. That said managers at each of said
places shall see-thatsaid election is con
ducted fairly, and that none vote therein
except known members of the Democrat
ic party above the age of 21 years. And
said managers shall make returns of said

election to the chairman of the Demo
cratic party, clerk of Superior Court
Ordinary who shall consolidate the same

4. That the two persons receiving the
highest number of votes in said election
are hereby declared the nominees of the
Democratic party of this county for
Representatives in the approaching elec
tion on the Ist^Wednesday in December
next.
Hon. John T. Hurt then offered the
following resolution which was adopted
without apposition.
Resolved , that we cordially endorse and
approve the political course of our gal
lant Senator John B. Gordon, who in the
bqlls of Congress as on the fit-id of battle
—in every station to which his fellow cit
izens have called him—has displayed
courage, skill, command, integrity and
honor, entitling him to the unabated
confidence and esteem of the people
whose sovereignty he so worthily repre
sents in the Senate of the United States.
On motion of the Hou-R. B. Mathews
it was resolved that the proceedings of
this meeting be published in the Ogle
thorpe Echo, and that the Elberton
Gazette, the Athens Georgian and South
ern Watchman be requested to copy the
same.
On motion the meeting then adjourned.

. COMMUNICATIONS.
Our Representatives.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
The time appointed to nominate two
candidates of the Democratic party to
represent Oglethorpe in House of Repre
sentatives of the next General Assembly
is near at hand. It is the duty of every
person to turn out that day in full force
and nominate the best men for these
places. Oglethorpe demands this. It is
a duty she owes herself as well as the
whole State. It is in order to inquire
into the public acts of those who aspire
to represent her in the Legislature.
When a man offers for such a respon
sible office the people demand to know
his record.* In view of these facts, I ask
as a citizen how our Representatives in
the last Legislature voted on the impor
tant measures before that body. The
journal of the House shows that Hon. A.
F. Pope voted for State Aid. He voted,
to endorse the Marietta & North Ga.
railroad five thousand dollars per mile.
This road, when completed, would have
been about 125 miles long. It will thus
be seen that Georgia’s debt would have
been increased in round numbers over
six huudred thousand dollars. This
bill was finally lost. He also voted to
loan the net earnings of the convicts of
the State to the same road. This was
State aid again to the extent of twenty
five thousand dollars a year. This bill
passed. He also voted to give Savannah
about thirty thousand dollars to ditch
out the swamps around the city. This
was State aid again in its worst form,
and makes a precedent that will be dan
gerous in future Legislation.
In so doing, Mr. Pope probably did
not represent twenty-five men in the
county. Shall the people of Oglethorpe
county endorse these votes of his by
electiug him again ? The tax-payers
think not. These charges are not here
say, but are matters of record. The
people of Oglethorpe county feel that
they were misrepresented in these votes
of Mr. Pope. .If Col. Pope has
been misrepresented in this commu
nication, the people are anxious to hear
from him, and no one more than the
writer. So far as State aid is concerned,
the people of this State and county are
opposed to it, and will not and do not
endorse these votes of Col. Pope. The
larger part of the public debt of Georgia
has been incurred by State aid, and we
are too floor and too much oppressed
with public debt and taxation to elect
men w T ho cast such votes.
A Farmer.
Hon. A. F. Pope.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
I see the names of other candidates
suggested in the Echo for the General
Assembly, but this gentleman, whom I
consider one of our best and truest men,
is let pass without a word of commenda
tion. I have known Capt. Pope foya
number of years, and also know hiin to
be one of Georgia’s purest and truest
sons. In war and peace he has shown
his devotion to his State and section, and
I feel that it is due him from the people
of Oglethorpe that his name be returned
for the next Legislature.
I have heard the argument advanced
against his re-election, that he voted for
aid to a certain railroad. Well, under
the new Constitution his hands are now
tied against a repetition of this “offense.”
But even did Capt. Pope vote for that
measure, I know that within his honest
and noble heart he thought it was for
the public good.
Let notour readers open their ears to
every charge trumped up by his enemies
—if so kind and high-toned a gentleman
may be said to have enemies —hut go to
Capt. Pope in person, stately our griev
ance, and I feel convinced that a satis
factory explanation of his actions will be
given.
Let us return him to the Legislature,
say I, and I feel assured that, if the
voters of this county will open their
ears to reason and close them to cytumny,
that my wish will be made g>od by a
large majority. Amicus.

A MODEL ESTABLISHMENT.
Tle Renowned Boot and Shoe House
of Peter Keenan. Aiigustn.
It always affords us great pleasure to
spefik or write of a true and reliable per
son or firm—hence, in laving the claims
of this clever, honorable,
and public-spirited gentleman before our
readers we dp so with special pleasure.
Have you ev&r seen Mr. Keenan,reader?
If not, it is worth your while to pay a
visit to Augusta for a single glance at his
open, kind face. One look is enough to
assure the most fastidious eounoiseur of
human physiognomy that he has all the
requisites one*could ask in a man or
merchant. His establishment is one of
the seven wonders of Augusta. If you
fail to call at and inspect the same when
you visit that city your trip has been
made for naught. We.have known Mr.
Keenan intimately for a number of years,
and know whereof we speak. He not
ouly leads his business in that city, but
in the. State. Nearly every section of
Georgia and South Carolina pays trib
ute to his stauding as a merchant by ex
tending him a full share of its trade 7 and
in all the time never has a word been ut
tered against his goods or his character
as an upright merchant.
He keeps 110 shoddy stock. Every
thing in his store is of the best make and
quality, and if a pair of boots or shoes fail
to give satisfaction they will be exchang
ed or the money refunded at any time
within three months after purchase.-
And when Peter Keenan makes a pledge
it will always be fulfilled.
A prominent gentleman of Lexington,
two winters ago, bought a pair of boots
from Mr. Iv., which he has worn steadily
ever since, and he told us the other day
that they were as good or better than the
day he purchased them. The reason of
the durability of his goods is, that Mr.
Keenan has them 'made according to
order, especially for his trade, by the
most responsible manufacturers.
In conclusion, we earnestly beg our
friends to keep Air. Keenan ever in mind,
apd when they desire any thing in the
boot or shoe line, to send him their
measure, and style desired, and if they

Card of Thanks.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
Please alloiv us, through your paper/
to return thanks to the Crawford band
for their excellent performance at our
exhibition on the 28 Sept. Notwith
standing the absence of one or two
pieces, we think their music would have
done credit to a hand of much more
experience. As most of the performers
are young men, they will doubtless be
pleased to know that many of the fair
sex expressed themselves great
ly surprised ou hearing, music so good
from a band so young. Respectfully,
D. W. Meadow.
