CLEVER CITIZENS.
The .Mercer Iliffh school: A Orooo Injas
tire : Renewed Prosperity.
Last Friday morning we boarded the train
at Crawford, destined for Greenesboro, that
we might be present during a portion of the
session of the Superior Court. About 2 o’clock
we reached that classic old town, and were j
met and cordially welcomed by onr genial i
and talented young friend, Hamp McWhor
ter, Esq., and by him invited to the office of
McWhorter Bros., where a magnificent repast
awaited us. There we also had the pleasure
of meeting the Hon. Robert McWhorter and !
his family, and so cordial was the reception
wc met that from the first moment we felt as
if among true and tried friends.
After dinner we visited the court-room,
I where their new Judge, Lawson, was holding
j his first session in that county. We never
! saw a fitter man for this important office. He
was undoubtedly to the maner born—his
rulings, charges and entire proceeding
shaped by profound wisdom, justice and
moderation. We never knew a more impar
tial officer, and every one we met was loud in
his praise. Would that every court in the
.State was presided over by a Judge Lawson.
We also had the pleasure of meeting the
Solicitor General and most of the local and
visiting bar—heroes all.
Judge Weaver, of the County Court, is the
most popular man in Greene county. He
is a model officer and a man without guile.
Col. Walter Paine, Court Reporter, we
found to be a gentleman of rare excellence.
We were with him a great deal during our
visit, and do not know when we were so fa
vorably impressed on so short an acquaint
ance.
The sensation in Greenesboro on our arrival
was a speech made by that brilliant and gift-
led attorney, Mr. John McWhorter, the day
j previous. Every one with whom we convers
ed pronounced it the grandest effort of the
week, and it stamped the young orator as a
lawyer ef marked ability.
During our sojourn in Greenesboro we took
tea with the Rev. H. C. Christian. He is
greatly pleased with his new charge, and has
won golden opinions from all classes. He has
just concluded one of the most successful re
vivals ever held in Greenesboro, and his la
bors were blessed with many important ac
quisitions to the church. He expressed great
solicitude for his many friends in this county,
and said he could never forgtt their kindness
to him when among us.
Friday night, by invitation, we attended a
wine supper given by Mr. B. Johnson, a
prominent merchant. He is a whole-souled,
affable gentleman, and knows how to make
his friends enjoy themselves.
During our stay we made many pleasant
acquaintances, prominent among them Col.
Vase McWhorter, a young man that wins
your confidence and esteem from the outset;
Dr. Allen, a gentleman of polished manner
and rare geniality; Col, W. H. McWhorter, a
leading citizea and courteous, kind gentle
man, and a number of others whose names
have escaped our memory.
Of course we called on our friends of the
press, and were glad to find them doing a
most prosperous business. The merchants of
Greenesboro are liberal advertisers, which
will account for the enviable success of both
their local papers. The vigorous pen of Mr.
Lewis wields an immense influence in shaping
and preserving the purity of polities not only
in his county but the State. Mr. Knowles,
that veteran and noblest Roman of the Geor
gia press, finds a worthy assistant in his son,
a young writer of acknowledged merit, and
one worthy to tread in the footsteps of his il
lustrious sire. He is one of the ablest young
editors on the Georgia press, and we confi
dently predict for him a brilliant career.
We paid a tour of inspection, Friday even
ing, to the mammoth and palacial store of C.
A. Davis Son —the largest establishment of
the kind in Middle Georgia. Mr. Davis, an
agreeable and courteous gentleman, accompa
nied us during our rounds, and kindly an
swered the many inquiries propounded by ye
inquisitive reporter. We expected to see a
large and well-stocked store, but were not
prepared to find in a country town such an
establishment as this. We think it fully as
large as that of Reaves, Nicholson & Co’s, of
Athens, and every department was replete
with every manner of goods in its line. Few
wholesale city houses caC*equal this in di
mensions, arrangement or largeness of stock.
Here will be found every thing needed by the
people of this section—from a finger-ring to a
rosewood burial case; a silk dress to a baud
saw; a wooden tooth-pick to the most gorgeous
set of chamber or parlor furniture. How one
man can collect together such a varied and
multitudinous stock of goods, without omiting
some article, is beyond our ken. But such is
the case—Messrs. C. A. Davis & Son having
iu store every article of merchandise you ever
saw or heard of, except spirituous liquors or
something else calculated to degrade or injure
their fellow-man. Buying in such immense
1 quantities, of course their prices are as low as
any house iu the State.
| On the second floor, in a beautiful room,
■ where every thing shows the touch of refined
taste, is the millinery department of Miss
Fannie Hamlin, a lady renowned throughout
the State for her lovely and exquisitely trim
med goods. Miss Hamlin is a noble repre
sentative of Southern womanhood, who hesi
tates not, when duty cal's, to utilize her rare
advantages and unequaled taste iu earning an
I honest livelihood. Asa Southron, we fed
j justly proud of such true womanhood.
1 he store of Messrs. C. A. Davis & Son was
i designed and built by tlie senior partner, and
, is so admirably arranged that business can be
I transacted with ease and dispatch. He gives
i uo encouragement to idlers, and has uot a
• eliair in his store except those on sale. His
motto has ever been, “ first-class goods, quick
, sales, light profits, and deal with every man
j as you would be dealt by.”
1 riday afternoon, through the courtesy of
Mr. Ilaiup McWhorter, we took a ride
through Greenesboro aud its environs. Like
most Georgia towns the older buildings are
sadly in need of paint and repairs, aud the
streets aud sidewalks generally neglected. We
noticed a number of truly magnificent subur
ban residences,built on the latest and most ap
proved plans. The business houses are, as a
general thiug, in both outward appearance J
and inner arrangement, far above those of j
most towns of its size. The churches are i
commodious aud handsome edifices, rnonu- i
nieuts to the enterprise and refinement of the
citizens. The Court House is large and well- '
arranged, but by no meaus a handsome and
imposing building, while the jail, built on the
public square, is an eye-sore aud disfigure
ment to the town.
A couple of miles down the railroad, near
the spot where that terrible railway accident
happeued about two years ago, stands a small
house built from the wreck of the cars. It is
weatherboarded with the old tin and sheet
iron, and is quite a curiosity.
In mingling with the citizens of Greene, ev
ery man we met was a “ Judge” except two,
and they weie “Colonels.” This county cer
tainly needs reconstructing. Seeing a genteel
looking mau in conversation with a lady, we
inquired his name. “ Yankee Brown,” was
the instant response. “ And who is the la
,dy?” we continue 1. “That Yankee book
agent,” was the rejoinder. We afterwards
met Col. Yankee Jones and Judge Yankee
Smith. Whether this diseriptive designation
holds on with more uncommon names we
know not.
The Echo is almost as well known in
Greene as Oglethorpe county, and every one
we met bad a word in its praise. We added
• aanber of new mnl t oar already large
■subscription list ia this eonaty. We met with
great kindness and courtesy from the citizens,
and shall ever hold the noble old county in
I grateful remembrance.
Saturday evening, about dusk, we left for
Penfield, to avail ourselves of the hospitable
invitation extended by the Hon. Robert Mc
\Y horter, of that classic village. After a
i pleasant ride of seven miles over a good
j country road, comfortably ensconsed in a lan
; dan behind a good team, and in the agreeable
company of our friend Hamp, the intervening
! distance was soon annihilated and in time ;
; for supper we reached the pleasant home of i
our host. To those who are acquainted with
the proverbial hospitality of the McWhorter j
family it is needless to speak of the kind
reception with which we met. Majdr Bob ;
McWhorter still retains that generous and
open-handed hospitality that rendered immor- :
tal the name of the Southern planter. He is I
now one of the Representatives from Greene j
in the General Assembly, and fills that posi
tion in a manner that reflects credit upon our
State. So pleasant and agreeable is the man- j
ner of Maj. McWhorter that one can’t help
liking him, if they tried differently. His
constituency is justly proud of him as a Rep
resentative and cilizen, and several of the or
ganized, who voted against him in the late
contest, remarked to us that in doing so !
they felt as if they were going against the in
terest of their section. Although a bitter op
ponent to secession, he went with his State
and was among the first to shoulder a guu in
her defense and surrendered with the cause.
We remained in Penfield until Monday
noon, and had an excellent opportunity to
inspect the town. This is the prettiest site
for a tillage we ever saw. Nearly the entire
town is a beautiful oak grove, with undula
ting and varied scenery. Notwithstanding
the removal of the L'niversity to Macon, the
town does not seem on the retrogade, there be
ing but one vaeent house, and three stores do
a good business. We noticed some evidence
of improvement, and learn that since the final
adjustment of the difficulty with the Mercer
University property has advanced considera
bly iu price. We never saw a better class of
citizens than those that reside here. They
are hospitable, intelligent, industrious and
exceedingly kind and sociable. They
are very public spirited and enterprising, and
are determined to restore their town to its
pristime glory and prominence. The mer
chants are all young men, and are character
ized for their thrift an enterprise. The Messrs.
Boswell run two stores here, and are assisted
by Mr. E. A. Sanford, a young gentleman of
great worth and intelligence and a general
favorite. Mr. Bynum, a remarkably genial
and pleasant gentleman, engineers another
live store.
Mr. Sanders, a promising young attorney,
has recently opened a law office here, and
bids fair to become a prominent member of
the Georgia bar. He made a most favorable
impression during our short acquaintance.
The Boswell family constitute a majority in
this village. They are noted for their indus
try, thrift, honesty and sobriety. Would that
our State was filled with such citizens.
There is not a drop of spirituous liquors
sold in Penfield, and as a consequence the
young men of the place are noted for their
sobriety and morals.
The land around Penfield rs generally
fresh and is remarkable for its fertility. It
commands high prices, too, several hundred
acres belonging to the University having
been sold some time since at S3O per acre. The
farmers around here use but little guano, and
Maj. McWhorter, ©ne of the largest and most
successful planters in Middle Georgia, does
uot buy a pound.
We went all through the campus, as also
the different buildings belonging thereto. It
was a sad sight indeed to see these magnifi
cent structures untenanted and deserted. The
buildings, we think, are equally as good, if
not better, than those of the State University.
The citizens of Penfield have kept them iu
very good repair, and with a small outlay
they could eb completely restored. The cam
pus is situated on a gentle incline, and amid
a beautiful oak grove. We never saw a site
better adapted for the purpose. Why the
college was ever removed to Macon we know
not, unless it was to help build up that town.
We candidly do not thi. k a more suitable
place than Penfield could be found in the
State for an educational centre. It is a high
and healthy locality, far removed from all
manner of dissipation to which youth is
prone, and its quiet retirement affords rare
opportunities for study.
A compromise has been effected with the
trustees of the Mercer University, by which
they are to turn over to the Georgia Baptist
Association —one of the wealthiest in the
State—the college buildings at Penfield and
SIO,OOO worth of notes, half of which sum can
be collected. It is the intention to resurrect
the college, under the title of the Mercer
High School, thoroughly repair and over
haul the buildings and bring it up to the
enviable standard of yore.
Would that our time and space allowed a
more extended and deserving notice of this
grand old village and her hospitable citizens,
whom we shall ever hold in pleasant remem
brance for the unexampled kindness and
courtesy shown us during our short stay with
them. They extended a generous patronage
to fhe ECHO, and in order to increase the in
terest already shown in our paper we have
secured the services of a brilliant and racy
writer, who will regularly furnish us with
Penfield dots.
9fen- Advertisements.
We direct the particular attention of our
readers to the new advertisements of Perkins
& Brother, J. Phillips and W. T. Young. We
have not the time this week to notice them at
length, but they shall receive due attention in
our next issue.
Our Paper To-Day.
We feel heartily ashamed to give our read
ers as poor a paper as our issue of to-day, but
a multitude of drawbacks, including the sick
ness of part of our force, prevents our doing
better. Our readers must rely for news on
our able corps of county correspondents, which
to-dav will be found unusually interesting.

Obituary.
Pied at her residence in Wilkes county,
Ga., on Monday night, the 10th inst., Mrs.
Martha Callaway, wife of the late Rev. Enoch
Callaway, in the 84th year of her age.
The deceased had been a member of the
Baptist Church at Sardis for many years.
She had been sick for some time previous to
her death, hut she bore her affliction with
Christian fortitude. She was a faithful wife,
a firm but loving mother, an affectionate
friend and an earnest, humble Christian. She
was the mother of fourteen children, nine of
whom are living and five dead. She had one
hundred and two grandchildren, seventy-five
living and twenty-seven dead ; one hundred
and forty-nine great grandchildren, one hun
dred and twenty-seven living and twenty-two
dead ; and two great great grandchildren—
making in all two hundred and sixty-seven
regular descendants.
Living through nearly a century, she has
at last fallen asleep in Jesus. May her chil
dren aud grandchildren imitate her Christian
example, and may we all meet her again on
the shores of the bright forever, and enjoy
with her the rest that remains for the people
of God. A Gbaxdsok.

Our command left James Island on
the 7th of October, 1863, for Chattanoo*
ga, East Tenn. On the cars between
Charleston and Augusta we voted for gov
ernor of Georgia. The most of us voted
for Furlow, for that was what most of
the boys wanted. We were in good
spirits going to Georgia to fight her bat
tles and to see our sweethearts.
At Union Point I left the command
and came home a few days, and then
went back to Richmond Virginia; staid
there until the first of November.
I joined the command again at Knox
ville in East Tenn. In the charge at
Knoxville we had only one man wound
ed, T. J. Mayes, in the arm. We had
a hard time in East Tenn. We were
without shoes and clothing, our rations
; were very short and the winter severe.
| I have read in history about the patri
! otism of our forefathers when they left
| the print of their feet iu the snow, but
I I never expected to see it—but I did
j see tracks in the snow in which were
: the whole shape of the foot in blood.
While in East Tenn. I was elected
| Lieutenant on the 10th day of December,
1863. I much prefered the election of
another man, but the boys determined
otherwise.
We crossed the Holston river near
Bean’s Station, and went into camp
near Morristown, Tenn. The winter was
severe.
While at Morristown we received or
ders to fall in, ail that had shoes or parts
of shoes. Some of us started with pieces
of shoes, and marching over frozen
ground soon tore them to pieces and left
their bare feet on the snow and frozen
ground.
We marched to Dandridge. Here we
met the enemy and put him to flight.
We hid one man wounded here. His
name I left out because I did not think
of it. Henry Dixon was shot through
the leg and afterwards discharged. He
was a small man, but tough and hearty
and made a good soldier. I failed to
mention two other men that came at the
same time that Dixon did—N. L. Young
and A. H. Bell.
At Dandridge we got supplied with
shoes from the Yakees. We then march
ed back to Morristown and staid there
a short time and then we were station
ed at New Market and at Strawberry
Plains. From this place we were march
ed to Bull’s Gap. There we staid some
time, and were fooled with an order, or
rather a grape-vine telegram, to know
how many of the boys could furnish
horses to mount themselves, as all who
could furnish themselves with horses
were to be put in the cavalry service,
when Longstreet was going raid through
Kentucky. This was talked abontiu the
camps for several days and then we
struck our tents stud marched to Zolicof
er; staid here a short time, when we
received orders to get ready for a trip
back to Virginia. We were glad when
the order came, for if we had to fight we
wanted to see Uncle Bob Lee about.
In April, I believe it was the sth, we
left Zolicofer for Virginia. Our first
stopping place was at Charlottesville,
where we met some friends. From here
we marched to Gordonsville, where our
corps was reviewed. We knew when the
review came off that the next thing
would be a fight.
On the 4th of May, 1864, we got ready
to begin the summer campaign. We
marched all day and the next. The
night of the sth we were roused before
day and had to hurry, too, for we did
not get to the Wilderness too soon. Here
we met Gen. Grant and found him a
tough piece of metal. On the 6th of
May we fought the enemy and I never
saw men more determined to do their
whole duty—not only the Oglethorpe
Rifles, but our whole brigade. We felt
that that it was the deciding battle, and
it was, for it never ended until Gen. R.
E. Lee surrendered. In this day’s fight
we had one man killed, Andrew J.
Moore; M. L. Jewell and James Drake,
captured. The writer was slightly woun
ded in the foot.
We remained on the field on the 7th,
and on the night ot the same we were
ordered out to camp on the road to
Spottsylvania C. H., but found the woods
on fire—so we marched to Spottsylvania
and just did get there in time to save the
place.
On the 7th I was put on the staff of
Gen. G. T. Anderson, his A. A. G. being
wounded. Acting as an Adjutant for a
Brigadier-General, on foot, is no easy
position.
As I said, we arrived at the Court
House just in time to save it. Here our
bovs We7v ordered to throw up breast
works, and we sCPO bad a good line of
works that the Yanks COUld not get
across. On the 10th of May we had two
mea lost from our company, David
Christopher killed and David Eidson
taken prisoner. On the 12th the enemy
charged our lines thirteen times, and
were handsomely repulsed at each at
tempt. Our company had two men shot
here—R. M. Jackson lost his arm and
Joseph Epps wounded in shoulder. I
neglected to mention two men who were
wounded on the 6th—James T. Arthur
slight#, and J. P. Thaxton in the hand.
At this place we killed more of Grant's
men than any where else during the war.
It was the first time in our company's
history that we had the privilege of
fighting behind breastworks. Our boys I
received each onslaught with coolness.
After this Grant tried to turn Gen. Lee’s j
right, but he always found his opponent |
in front.
We crossed the North Anna river at
Hanover Junction. Here we fortified I
again, but Gen. Grant could not face the |
music this time, as we were desirous
that he should. We would have wound
him np had he crossed the river and at- .
: tacked us. He then moved to Haw’s
. Shop, as well as I can recollect, and at
was Sunday, the Ist day of June, 1864.
Here Robert Tuggle was mustered into
service, and shot sixty rounds of cartrid
ges at the enemy in two hours after he
joined the company. Here Rob’a Whee
lis was severely .wounded in the knee;
no one else hurt.
From Haw’| Shop ,we moved to .Cold
Harbor. Here we Refe charged by the
enemy and repulsed him with great loss.
The Oglethorpe Rifles did not lose a
single man in killed or wounded. I be
lieve there were a few in the regiment
wounded and one killed.
After the Cold Harbor fight our regi
ment had a few days rest. I will have
to depend on someone else to write
what happened, for I was taken violent
ly ill and was moved to Richmond on
the 16th of June, and did not join the
command until the 22d of July at Pe
tersburg.
From the 6th of May to the 16th of
June it was fight all day and march at
night until we were exhausted for the
! want of sleep. But we were stimulated
I with the hope that we would defeat the
I enemy, and that would end the struggle.
| It was a forlorn hope.
L T p to the time that I had left in June,
1864, our boys were cheerful and hope
ful, but when I returned to the regiment
at Petersburg their countenances were
changed to sadness—for we felt that all
was lost. But we were determined to do
our whole duty to our country and leave
the result in the hand of a higher pow
er. From the Wilderness to Petersburg
we had two men killed, five wounded
and three captured. A. J. Moore and

OUR CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT,
CRAWFORD.
MOSES.
Clear and beautiful, but cool. No
March weather as yet, but we live in
hopes.
Mr. Geo. Hall built a regular stackade
around his garden.
Flateau has bought a horse, but he
had to build a wall for him to lean up
against in order to stand.
A three year old girl in Crawford had
been sitting quietly listening to her moth
er tell her father how bad she was, as
tonished her mother by quaintly re
marking, “ Yes; mama and everybody
says I’m des like you.”
Mr. J. F. C. Cheney has a sample of
the Ohio Scales. Should any one wish
to examine it, it can be found at R. S.
Martin’s store.
Several improvements in view in
Crawford.
All agents are selling guano at 467
pounds cotton per ton. The price ought
never to have been raised.
The shootists of Crawford have order
ed a lot ol glass balls, and they are ex
pecting to break them, a-la Carver.
Mr. Editor, come again. We will try to
be at home next time.
THE CLADE.
BEPPO.
Fishing.
Another fox.
Planting beans.
A large planter in goose Goose-Pond
hasn’t a single hand on his place. They
are scarce and others are needing them.
Good many negroes thorugh here work
until dark or the usual quitting time on
Saturday evening; many others loaf.
Martin’s ferry is launched and is all
right. Chedel’s feet and beaver passed
over it.
Miss Lucy Jarrell, of whom Crawford
once boasted, is making her home at the
Glade. Glad to welcome her.
Compost heaps smoking and farmers
are moving with a steady, regular step.

we said it again.)
Prof. S. P. Orr, of Jefferson, was in
our midst last week, exhibiting Mr.
Sanford Williams’ patent guano and cot
ton seed distributor, and corn and pea
dropper, all combined.
If that Mr. “ Com. T. F. B.” is com
ing to look after us, they had better do
so quickly. If so, give us through the
columns of the Echo ten days’ notice
from date of issue. Ye Ed. must be on
hand if they come, whoever they are.
Dr. W. M. Durham was in our midst
last week.
We except that “Moses” and “En
quirer” think they ought to have some of
the bonor(?) for making us quit our ad
jectives, for the former has been “ ham
mering” away at us forsix weeks. Well,
they shall have it if they want it, but
the latter,in enumerating our pet names,
applies the proper adjectives until he
gets to “ Birdie,” when he says “my !”
“ Birdie” (we wish we could say as much).
We expect that makes him feel like he
was quaffing from the crystal springs in
the Elysian fields or sipping ambrosia
iu the Arcadian groves, or as sweet as
if a streak of sasafras tea, sweetened
with molasses, was er-running down his
back.
A certain Doctor in Lexington, of the
“ big feet” variety, asked a young gent
down here where the new road is that
leaded to a certain old gentleman’s house
(he knot's the old man). Said he didn’t
want to go now , but .
Where is “ Blue Jay?”, Has he never
returned from his last weekly visit to Ha
des ? Rise, ye demon, and tell us about
Proserpine and the Plutonian shores.
Mr. John Jackson shot down two wild
turkeys last week, but got only one
large gobbler weighing eighteen pounds
and a half.
A fracus'occurred, last Sunday, on the
Dr. W. W. Davenport’s plantation, be
tween Buck Winfrey, col., andGus Har
per, col., the latter of whom was dan
gerously cut. The former has given
himself up to the officers and the latter
is doing very well.

Mr. James E. Freeman is quite sick.
He was brought home last Sunday.
The President of the “ Lazy Club,”

A young lady borrowed two cross
cut saws, invited several of her male
friends, and after tea had a sawing party.
Salem had a good congregation last
Sunday -and the Rev Jno. G. Gibson
preached one of the most feeling sermons
me ever listened to.
Every body regrets the death of Col,
It. A, Alston. His friends are grieved,
and Georgia loses one of her best cit
izens.
Report has it that Mr. J. H. Melton
has sold his gold mine.
The school at Antioch, in charge of
Prof.'G. J. Landrum, one of the “old

WINTERVILLE.
REFORM.
Speed the plough
Early planted corn up
Guano is being rapidly hauled ofl’.
The last few showers have helped small
grain.
A stray bale of cotton occasionally j
finds its way here and to Athens.
We failed tb mention, last week, that
Messrs. Hutcheson & Johnson met a se
vere loss, on Monday, 10th, by fire get
ting out and burning up one mile of their
fencing.
A negro child on Mr. H. Myers’ place,
was so badly burned some time ago as
to require amputation of one of its arms
last week. The operation was performed
by Dr. Carter.
Last Monday, while two little boys of
Mrs. Frank Whitehead were playing,,
one cut the ethers hand almost entirely
off with an axe. Drs. Anthony and
Carter rendered surgical aid.
Mrs. Mahony, who resided between
here and Athens, met her death last
Monday in a singular way. She had
been and was sick, and took a large dose
of medicine prescribed for her son for
rheumatism, containing something pois
onous, from which she died in a few
hours.
Col. N., of Athens, is an Episcopalian
of the “straitesi sect”—believes in Lent
Easter, etc. He receutly asked web
Barber when was the best time to
plant potatoes. The dark ’o moon in
March,” was the reply. “ I really
thought you were more enlightened, Mr.
Barber, than to adhere to such redlc-
ulous and supirstitious notions. Why
do you persist in such foolishness ?” says
Col. N. “ Havn’t I got as much right
to plant my potatoes by the moon as you
have to worship God by the moon?” re-,
plied Mr. B.—whereupon the Colemel
wilted.
Winter yet lingers in the lap ofspring,”
solmenly said the Judge the other day,
while warming at the P. O. stove. “ That
sorter reminds me of an adventure I had
in Jackson county a few years back,” says
Tom Winter. “Tell it,” demanded the
crowd. “ You see,” says Tom, “ I had
an invite and went to a frolic up there,
but being stranger like didn’t mix with
the crowd but took a seat in the comer.
By and by the fire getting tvo hot, I
started to the back end of the house and
set down—on a longue as I thought—but
instead it was in the lap of an “ old gal”
—a wall flower—who had took no part
in the dance ; but I didn’t linger.” “Was
there a spring?” asked the Judge. Look
at the bare spot on the top of my head—
that came in collision with a knot on
the jist pole, and you will swear it,” says
poor Tom.
SUM.
Sickness has prevented our former
punctuality. We hope now to go stead
ily on with our business.
Miss Mattie Conaway and brother,
Holland, paid Winterville that short
visit Sunday.
O, look at that impertinent boy, com
ing in church at the woman’s door.
Rev. Paul Morton preached a fine and
impressive discourse last Sunday night
in the Methodist Church. Subject, “The
Christian soldier.”
Miss Emma Eberhart is convalescent.
Church courtesies—Goto church, in
time; go in the house before the service ;
uncover your head at the door and
keep it so till you get back there ; don’t
talk loud arouuU door, or act bois
terously inside or outside of the church ;
go quietly iu the house and don’t talk
to anybody while the services are going
on ; pay strict attention the preaching,
and don’t gaze about over the congrega
tion, but look the speaker right in the
eye and don’t turn around and look back
when any body walks in. Let the preach
er preach a good long sermon, but don’t
be always at it. When the benediction
is pronounced, let every body go imme
diately out and march right off home,
and don’t stand around the church doors
and stare everything out of countenance.
Dr. Carter will actually settle in Win
terville.
Dr. Nabers is undecided yet as to
where he will locate.
The negro who shot and killed Led
better was overtaken near a large swamp
on (Sandy creek, but “gotaway.” Selah.
We saw two horses pass by.Jast Mon
day, pulling seven “top "buggies.”
Who next?
Some men have their cotton rows eight
feet wide.
We’ll plant corn next week, and then
“ strow our guano.”
The workman’s hammer is heard upon
our neighbor J. T. Johnson’s new-house
this week.
We were complimented this week by
a visit from our friends of Madison, Mr.
Frank Brown and daughter, Miss Elleu.
Come again.
Winterville is looking up. There is
a fine prospect for three more buildings.
Would it not be profitable to build a
Baptist Church in this growing little
village.
Dr. Nabers had two calls last Sunday—
pulled a tooth and picked out a splinter.
One of our neighbors has prepared
10,000 pounds of compost.
Somebody’s got a ■ new buggy. Look
sharp girls—he’ll be a “Poke-in” around
next thing.
Who’s that called us vain? They are
just the same. *
Are you a Granger ? Then take those
rails out off that stable door.
W atch out old cows—the March wind
is coming.
There are five Sundays in this month,
and like a lamb did it come, but like a
lion will it end.
We notice some discussion in Jackson
county papers over the; time of holding
public schools. We art satisfied, from
our limited experience, that they ought
always to be held during thSrwinter, It
is true the weather js more disagreeable
then, and some have urged that the acad
emies are not sufficiently comfortable for
this season. Then, the only thing a
community has to do is to provide itself
with a comfortable academy, and if nec
essary, provide a way to send chil
dren through sorts of weather. The
winter season is certainly more healthy
than the summer or spring, and the faii
is the busiest season we have in this part
of the county; and it is fact, beyoad dis
pute, that a child will learn almost as
fast again in- winter as in the summer.
So for this reason, -if nothing else, 4e
say have the public schools in the winter.
BAIRD.STOWN.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
In your last issue you published an
article headed “ A Horrible Story,” in
which it is charged that the Honorable
Dr. Janes, Commissioner of Agri'culture
for the State of Georgia, practices great
cruelty to his sheep and tigs,
that the worthy Doctor actually ampu
tates a leg from each sheep and goat to
prevent their jumping. Now, Mr. Edi
tor, fair play is Ja jewel, and the people
of this immediate section, without dis
tinction, desire to set this matter right,
so that no great wrong can be done the
Commissioner; and in this connection
we might say, with equal propriety, that
two wrongs never make a right—for but
a few months since it was whispered
that any person in the secret could be his
own inspector of fertilizers by applica
tion to the Agricultural Bureau—i. e., be
furnished tags to tag his own packages.
Well, what of that? They who made the
charge never proved it, Ido not know
even if they were asked to do'so. Now,
they may not be required to prove this j
“ Horrible Story,” but to facts : The
Doctor has only about one dozen sheep
of the common stock, too poor to jump.
So much for the sheep. The goats died
out during the last winter bn account of
lack of lorage —and then this is wholly
excusable, for be it remembered the Doc
tor is devoted to agriculture, not sheep
i and goats; and t Jen last, but not least,
1 and that which puts to shame this “ Hor
rible Story,” the Doctor’s fences are not
in a jumpable condition —that is to say,
the sneep onlv have to fall over.
Now, Mr. Editor, right is right, and
! wrong no man, and we truly hope that
all such stories of sheep, goats and
tags will cease for all time, and the
| worthy Doctor be allowed to devote his
time and talents to the theory of farming,
while his neighbors and friends practice
I it. Yours truly, Clodhopper.
SIMSTON.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo :
I notice that “ Wilkes,” iu your issue
of March 7th, accords me the ability to
defeat you for President of a “ Big Ugly
Club.” Now, Mr. Editor, I believe in
giving honor to whom honor is due. ;
Although, I feel very higly compliment
ed by the profered honor (?) I must most 1
respectfully decline in favor of either
your esteemed correspondent, “ Duco,”
W. P. Hill or Jno. W. Martin. I think
that either of the gentleman mentioned ,
above is more entitled to the Presidency
of that club than myself. Most respect
fully, D. W. Glenn.
MAXEY’S.
MARCH.

Rev. M. M. Landrum preached at
Maxey’s new church last Sunday, and

Mr. Colclougli and Mr. Ed Birchmore
have completed and moved into their

F. C. Hitchens has not returned from
Atlanta as yet.
A. T. Brightwell is selling a great
many goods.
The wife of Mr. James Langsford, jr.,
is lying at the point of death.
Mr. Z. Fleeman,-who has been sick so
long with the rheumatism, is much bet

Atlanta is kicking up a terrible row

FLAT-WOODS.
DUCO.
Measles in superabundance.
Work progressing finely.
Flat-Woods can boast of three fine
schools.
A certain, fascinating Lexington phy
sician has extended "his “ practice” in
this section.
One of our young men went to a doc
tor the other day and asked if he kept
“ love powders.” He was sold three
ounces of ipecac, and the smitten youth
went on his way rejoicing.
The green lots around Mr. Tom How
ard’s home is a pleasing relief to the eye.
Our entire people are saddened at the
death of that noble Christian lady, Mrs.
Martha Callaway.
WOLFSKIN.
SQUIRE.
Some sickness about.
A few of our neighbors will use guano,
since the reduction in the price of the
“ stuff.”
Mr. W. R. Ellis cut his foot severely,
with a mattock, trying to dig up a stump,
last week.
John Eidson, a young man living on
Mr. E. D. Martin’s place, has gone de
ranged. He had a similar attack a few
years ago, but it seems had recovered
until recently. It is thought he will
have to be sent to the asylum.
The Jury Commissioners drew heavily
on our district, in revising the box.
Nearly except ye reporter is
on the list.
It seems that there are different opin
ions as to the utility of the Agricultural
Bureau. Some of our citizens claim that
it is doing a great deal of good, while
others say it is an expense to the State
and does uot benefit farmers a particle.
As for our part, we’d gladly take a Mex
ican dollar for our interest in the con
cern. Won’t “ Harry” give us his views
on the subject?
We heard, a few days ago, that Miss
Mary Consins, a young lady from Paul
ding county, had got up a school at the
Brooks Academy.
The “Colonel” spent last week in
Greene county. Well, what if he did ?
He says there are some mighty nice
young ladies down there, and doubtless
thinks so, as he goes occasionally.
We would mildly suggest to a couple
of young ladies that we know, when they
go to the saw-mill again, and their young
man is there, not to talk so loud after the
mill has stopped.

SU-FFRING FOR A LIFE TIME.
Persons afflicted with rheumatism often suf
fer for a life time, their tortures being almost
without remission. The joints and muscles
of such unfortunates are in most cases shock
ingly contorted and drawn out of shape. To
afford them even tempoary relief, the ordin
ary remedies often prove utterly useless. Hos
tetter’s Stomach Bitters, on the other hand, is
avouched by persons who have used it, to be a
genuine source of relief. It keeps the blood
cool by promoting a regular habit of body, and
removes from its impurities which, in the opin
ion of all rational pathologists, originate this
agonizing complaint and its kindred malady,
the gout. Besides this the Bitters remedy dis
orders of the stomach, liver and nerves, pre
vent and eradicate intermittent and remittent
fevers, promote appetite and sleep, and are
highly recommended by physicians as a desir
able medical stimulant and tonic.
Athens Amusements.
An opportunity for the citizens of Ogle
thorpe to see one of the finest theatre compa

and it will be worth a visit to Athens to see
him.
Blind Tom, the great negro pianist,will ap
pear at Deupree Hall, Atjiens, on Wednesday,
March 26th. Tom’s reputation is too widely
known to need further comment.
Jhe celebrated floiman Opera 'Troupe will
be in Athens April 2d and 3d. Will play the
opera of “ Chimes of Normandy” and “ H.

A Cheap and Good Soap.
Mr. L. L. Guffin, of South Carolina, is iD
our county, selling family rights to manufac
ture McGimsey’s Magic Soap. Last Wednes
day he came into our office, and in an incred
ible short time had made a pot of as good i
white soap as we ever saw. We gave it a
thorough test, and found that it cleaned our
office towel of ink, dirt and grease, as al
so removed every particle of ink from our
type. A soap that will do this is no humbug.
It requires no boiling of clothes when you
use this soap, which can be manufactured in
fifteen minutes at a cost of one cent a pound.
It is also guaranteed to remove tar, grease and
paint from clothing, carpets, furniture, etc.;
is good for cleaning floors, paint, jewelry,
plate, etc., as also for shampooing and bath
ing. It is also the greatest known remedy for
scalds, burns, scurvy, or any disease of stock.
1 Every family in the county should have a
right. Price, only $3.
Type tor Knle.
We will sell,'for 30 eents a pound cash, 200 |
pounds of bourgeois type, tbe same now used i
on tbe Echo. This type is almost as good as I
new, and his a superabundance of “sorts” and J
spaces of ail kinds. Our only reason for sell- j
ing is that we will change, in a couple of '
weeks, to brevier, minion and nonpareil. You j
can tell the condition this type is in by exam- !

i a Gentle Hint. — In our style of climate
with its sudden changes of temperature, rain

friends and relatives are so frequently take
from us by neglected colds, half the deaths
resulting directly from this cause. A bottle
of Boschee’s German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, a large doctor’s bill, and perhaps
death, bv the use of three or four doses. For
curing consumption, hemorrhages, pneumo

throat or lungs, its success is simply wonder
ful, as your druggist will tell you. German

THE GENUINE
EM. C. McLANE S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
AND SICK HEADACHE.
of a Diseased Liver.
pAIN Sn the right side, under the
I edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able io
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes myaken
for rheumatism in the am>. The
j stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
