(THREE DAYB IN GREENESBORO AND PENFIELD # A BIRD’S-EYE VIEW OF THE FORMER PLACE AM) ITS AftKACTION**. ♦ Personal Notes--A Mammoth Store—The Press and Court. THE VILLAGE OF PENFIELD AMD ITS 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.

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 Gallant Record, and Individual Deeds of Daring. A ROLL OF MEMBERS, WITH LISTS OF CASUALTIES AND PRISONERS. BY THOS. D. GILHAM. NO. 111. 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 David Christopher killed ; J. P. Thax ton, J. T. Arthur, Robert Wheelis, R. M. Jackson and Joseph Epps, wounded ; M. L. Jewell, J. E. Drake and Joseph Eidson, captured. Getting from Cold Harbor to Petersburg I can’t tell any thing about, as I was not there, and I something else to think and talk about when I returned.

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.

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.

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 reliables,” is flourishing. 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. Thermometer 40°. Copious showers of rain. About finished planting corn. Preparing cotton land. No new cases of measles. Building fish-ponds are new pet pro jects. Rev. M. M. Landrum preached at Maxey’s new church last Sunday, and will preach regularly every third Sab bath during the year, health permiting. Mr. Colclougli and Mr. Ed Birchmore have completed and moved into their new houses, the former as a bachelor. 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 ter. Atlanta is kicking up a terrible row about carrying concealed weapeus. Well, none but cowards carry them. 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. I’l-ooeedings Of Commissioners’ Court, March 4th, 1879. The following orders were passed : Mark H. Young, jailor, $58.15. M. H. Arnold, $4. R. G. Rowe, bailiff, $3. Geo. H. Lester, $10.25. Mark 11.

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 nies in the world. Robert McWade, the rival of Joe Jefferson, will appear atDeupree Hall, Athens, Ga., on Monday evening, March 24th and 25th, in “ Rip Van Winkle,” supported Of an excellent Company. McWade stands at the top found of the ladder as an actor, 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. ,M. S. Pinafore.” ■ *o* 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.

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, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. MILLSTONE STORE. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the Kd, with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver Pii.ls. The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear the signatures of C- McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
