Travelers on the Athens road.^'ridav, discovered the body of a colored man suspend ed from a tree near the place of Mrs. King.

The coroner’s in quest concluded his death to hgve been suicide. The widow Pulliam, who created such an excitement in Elbert county recently be cause of a popular suspicion that she had been mysteriously abducted, has been heard from.

'O rtetherpe fwatr will Dave a. tfWtoSM Paper. A New Pristine OMee, and Other Inpmvements. | Oa thfUSHh day of October the Echo villbefive years old. It was ar inten tion to celebrate this event by reducing the price of subscription to ”.*1.50. but upon h protest from all the -subscribers t > whom we mentioned the matter—they 1 contending that £2 was as cheap as they asked—we have decided to give them . even more than this difference in an en larged paper. About the third week in October the Echo will appear as a 56- column paper—the largest weekly in the South, ami will contain more reading matter than any four or fire ordinary county papers. This enlargement will entail a considerable additional cost upon us, but we intend to swell our sub i seription list to 3,000 copies weekly and we want our friends to set to work and help us do it. _ The people yf this and adjacent counties have stood manfully up to us and we intend to give them a j Newspaper that they may be proud of. To the merchants and citizens of Ath ens, too, are we indebted for a princely patronage. They appreciate the trade 1 of our people and most magnanimously divide their profits with the local paper. East Saturday we received 5345 worth of advertising in that progressive little city, Messrs. James A. Gray & Cos. con tracting for *l5O worth. This is a firm that kno%vs and appreciates the value of printer’s ink. To enable us to facilitate our work we have just closed a contract with Mr. J. J. Norton, a well-known contractor, to build, by the latter part of next month, anew and commodious office on Church street, into which the Echo will move. It will be conveniently arranged and well lighted, and adjoining will be built a reading room for the benefit of our patrons and the public. As soon as our subscription authorizes —which we hope and believe will be by or before next spring—we will put up a mammoth steam power-press. To make these necessary improve ments to our business will require a large cash outlay, and we are depending Upon our patrons for the money. Let each subscriber set to work and get us another name. It can be easily done and will help us a great deal. The Echo now has a large and gener al patronage through the counties of El bert, Madison, Ilall, Jackson, Walton, Clarke, Oconee, Greene, Taliaferro and Wilkes, and a splendid general circula tion in this and other States—especially Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas. Until our enlargement takes place sub scribers must bear with us. We have more advertisements than we well know what to do with, and the reading mat ter will be necessarily cramped for a few weeks. We will issue supplements, however, and thus bridge the chasm. OEHERTIMC THE ROOST. Clear Case of Ilats Leaving a Sinking Skip. The Colonel Stuiadt* on the Burning Deck. For some weeks past the famous old Bachelor’s Roost in Lexington, like its inmates, has shown visible signs of de cay. At night the occupants xvere arous ed from their virtuous slumbers by a cracking of timbers and a perceptible settling of the building, and upon step ping out on the piazza in the morning they would find that it was parting from the main house and gave hourly signs of total dissolutiou. Like faithful mar riers aboard a sinking ship did Col. Morgan and Judge Gilliam endeavor to save the home that had sheltered them for nearly a century by sacrificing their meagre stock of xvorldly goods. With their confiding innocence they thought it too heavily stocked with weighty fur niture, and day by day continued to throw overboard articles that even a blind rag-picker would pass by in dis gust, but in their eyes of inestimable value. First xvent the Colonel’s box of flint rocks, that he yet believes to be an unexplored Golconda; then his Honor’s chest of old winter clothes with a circus picture of a nude woman pasted on it — the only image of woman ever permitted to invade this sanctuary; then all but txvo of their chairs; their cords of emp ty match boxes; and one by one the ac cumulated nothingness of years—but still the old Roost continued to give way and its demizens shivered upon the bare floor. The Colonel had pasted over the door the gallant sentence — “ />.V T fJll'ft If THE ROOST!" advised that, to still further lighten the load, Judge Gilham and him self discard the use of socks and draw ers and curtail their allowance of food. With a heroism that was truly noble and grand did these veterans on the al tar of bachelorhood accept this last re sort. But this sacrifice, too, was in vain. The old shanty was still subject to periodical convulsions, which increas ed in number daily. At last the Judge could stand the pressure no longer. Some one told him that the Bible said “ Self preservation xvas the first law of nature,” and he determined to bid no longer de fiance to this sacred edict. He rented a room in Col. Mathews’ old office (a ver itable relict of the flood,) and is there located, solitary and alone. Among his clothes he brought a fine stand of bed ■ bugs, which, by crossing with the ones he is sure to find in his new quarters, will doubtless raise up an improved breed. A rumor having reached our ears that Col. Morgan also intended vacating the Roost, yve called at that domicile and intervieyved him on the subject. We found the old man wearing the look of a martyr to principle, who was prepared to sacrifice his life on that altar. lie lis tened to the creaking Avails with a hero ic indifference, and a halo of determina tion surrounded his brow. When yve made known our mission and announced the report our aged friend cast upon us a withering look and replied: “ What! Desert this sacred spot be ■cuvase a few timbers groan beneath the accumulated glory of ages? Did Napo leon leave France until he was carried away by force of arms? Did Hanibal desert his beloved Carthage until borne from thence in chains? No, sir; yvith this Roost lias I linked my fate. It is the only bride I ever knexv and to it I am wedded, for Aveal and woe, until death or a general tumbling-in parts us. So long as one plank lays upon another it shall be my Jiome and habitation and its fall shall be my funeral pyre. When Gabriel shall sound his last trump my weather-beaten soul will arise from the debris of this grand old temple of happy and emancipated mankind!” We listened with awe to these noble sentiments as they dropped like parched peanuts from the lips of our aged friend, and have our pencil ready sharped to pen the closing scenes of las career. t " (iraj’s. This name falls like the deyv of heaven upon the spirits of dry goods buyers. It signifies to them splendid goods and loav prices. This fall they have eclipsed the State with their grand and glorious dis play. Read their hand-bill ad. in the Echo to-day which xvill tell you all about their stock. They spend §l5O in advertising in our paper alone and xvan ted to charter a whole page. This house is a representation of “ young head on old shoulders. Mr. Robert Gray, one of tho livest young merchants in the South, is supported on the shoulders of that old reliable mercantile veteran, Christopher Grav. We will shortly give our readers a full history of this splendid establish ment and tell them of the thousands of cheap and beautiful goods to be found there. It is an Alladin’s palace. ♦♦♦— A Bcautiliil .Store. One of the prettiest stores we ever en tered is that of Parker, O'Farrell & Cos., on the corner of Thomas and Clayton streets, Athens. It has just been com pleted and is now occupied by one of the cleverest firms in Georgia with a bran-new stock of goods. Everything is as neat as a pin. The proprietors are in timate friends to the Editor of this pa per and xve can knowingly, unequivocal ly and enthusiastically recommend them as honest gentlemen, born merchants and the unadulterated extract of su preme cleverness. One thing is certain —they must have a big trade"from Ogle thorpe and xve intend to see that they get it. Advertisement next week. ♦♦♦ A MatlsJuno. Mr. Sock Pruitt, of the Athens Banner, is said to own the finest madstone ever found. This is a strange formation, found in the maw of deer, and is a sov ereign cure for all poisons. They are worth many times their xveight in gold dust and are very rare. The strangest thing is that if you allow one to fall its curative properties vanish. Old hunters say that as soon as they kili a deer they can tell by its appearance if it contains one these stones. The mad*stone owned by Mr. Pruitt was given to his father by an old friend from Southwest Georgia while a member of th*Legislature before the war. A SAD SUICIDE. Mr. Jmmtm H. Jhm, Famrrl r it l!Hi< ■!, Takes His Owi Lite ia an 'Athena Store, Beemaoe'Credii is Kefssed llim. We learn that one Mr. JamesS. Jones, of Madison county, accompanied by tv friend whose name we - did not learn, ! x-isited Athens, on last Wednesnay, and j after getting to the city they separated, | each one intending to do some trading. At about 1 o'clock the announcement was made on the street that a man had j committed suicide in the store of Mr. F. 11. Lynch. A large crowd soon col lected at the store, but no one was found who could recognize the wounded man. ! lie appeared to be a stranger to alia At ; last someone called in a man from Mad ison county, and he, at first, failed o recognize him. oo account of the blood on his face and head. At last it was de termined to remove him to the Station House, when, in removing, his compan ion recognized him as James S. Jones, xvhom he had accompanied to the city that morning. He knexv of no cause for the rash act, and says that Jones left a wife and two children and was an en- I tirely respectable man. Upon inquiry, our informant learned | that Jones had tried to buy some goods : at some store and xvanted them charged to him. "Tliis xvas refused, and lie im | mediately xvent to the store of Mr. Lynch and bought a pistol and had it loaded, and xvithout paying for it, placed , the muzzle just behind his right ear and i discharged it, the bullet entering his | brain and felling him to the floor. Dr. W. M. King xvas at once summoned, and after probing the wound pronounc ed it fatal. Mr. Jones xvas still living xvhen our informant left Athens, but was breathing heavily and slowly, and was expected to die in a short while, j Mr. Jones is a step-son of the Rev. L. j W.

The Author of Hog Clover. ! We are told that this valuable forage plant xvas first imported to this county by Dr. Henry Hull, pf Athens. Photographer in Town. Mr. L. A. Green, a photographer, has arrived in Lexington and pitched his tent in the Masonic Hall. He requests all those xvlio desire their pictures taken to give him a call. — The Equinox. On next Monday is the equinox and the sun xvill rise and set exactly in the east and xvest. Storms and a change of xveather may also be expected- Let us hope it xvill not bring frost. Wrong Name. Dr. J. 11. Alexander xvrites us: “You got the name of the ‘ Hog Clover’ xvrong, and to make it intelligible to Botanists had better correct it. It is ‘ Medicago Lupulina.’ I suppose the ‘ Lupulina’ to be a diminutive of the Latin Lupus (a xvolf), thus signifying literally Little Wolf Clover.” Shamrock. The veclit or old-field clover, which it is stated was brought to Georgia by Sher man’s raiders, is said to be nothing more nor less than the fatuous shamrock of Ireland—a plant that has been immor talized both by song and story. It has covered our fields and is rapidly rooting out that arch fiend, Bermuda grass. :— • Within an Ace of Front. On Thursday night of last xveek the thermometer registered 50 deg., xvliich xvere in 10 of a frost—and 10 degrees are very easily overcome. For txvo weeks past the nights and mornings hax-e been downright cold and we all tremblingly await the advent of the xvinter king. A frost iiow xvould sound the deatli-knell to our ootton prospects. - .. . The X. E. ftcorgin Pair. Extensive preparations are being noxv made to render this a grand success. Neither labor nor money is spared and a splendid programme is offered. Ath ens and Northeast Georgia is ox'erfloxv ing with enthusiasm. Oglethorpe must fall into line. The interests of Athens and our people are one and inseparable. Let is lend our aid to making this fair the event of the season. Next week xve xvill issue xvitli the Echo a large supple ment, giving all information on the sub ject. Watch for and be sure to read it. A (houseof Base. Mr. George Latimer and family moved this xveek to Atlanta, Mr. L. having se cured a situation with Longley &?Rob insou. The removal of this family is in deed a loss to Lexington. They were our near neighbors, and better ones we never knew. The best xvishes of our entire people attend them. Mr. W. B. Lester is building a neat little cottage on his father’s land and will shortly occupy the same. Mr. Thad Olive has moved to his farm, Vacating the Robinson lot. A Xew Corn. We were shown last Friday the shuck from an ear of corn, raised by Mr. Fiel ding Dillard, the seed of xvhich he ob tained in the mountains, which is a nexv variety in this section. The shuck is an imperial purple, and we learn is used by the old ladies of North Georgia to dye yarns and cloth. It is said to make a beautiful and lasting shade of purple. The ears from this com are of medium size. Mr. D. is noted for his extensive and prolific varieties of corn, he making it his business to improve the seed by crossing the best kinds. — Death of Mis* Hattie Arnold. Just as xve xvere going to press the sad and startling announcement reached us of the demise of this pure and beautiful young lady, daughter of our esteemed friend, Mr. J. W. Arnold. Miss Hattie xvas just budding into xvomanhood, and was sincerely beloved by all xvlio knexv her. ’Tis sad to be thus cut oft' in the bloom of life, but ’tis best for the deceas ed. A bright crown axvaits her in heav ed. Our heart bleeds for the’hereaved family. They should take comfort in reflection that the belox'ed “is only gone before.” We learn that her death xvas caused by a cold contracted during her recent tour to the mountains. The Jail Committee. This committee met last Monday to act on the reception of the new jail and we learn that it resulted in a “ bust up.” The committee contended that the con tractor was obligated to dig the well; while Mr. McGinty thought it an outside job—and on this rock they split. We hope an amicable adjustment will yet take place, as the building is certainly a superior job of work. The committee deserve credit for so manfully standing up for what they conceive to be the rights of the county. They are the class of men to handle the public money-bags and their names should be placed upon a roll of honor. Litigation would con sume enough money to dig a dozen wells. ♦♦♦ Hon. Amos T. Ackerman. This gentleman spent a day in Craw ford recently and charmed the people with his pliable tongue and instructive conversation. He is rather gloomy about the future of this section, and thinks for the next fourteen years no perceptible advance will be made in our prosperity. Politically, we have no more use for Mr. Ackerman than the devil has for holy water, but are bound to accredit to him an intellect of the first magnitude, and acknowledge that he can see as deep into a millstone as the man that picked it. We think, however, he is now looking at Georgia's future through partisan glasses, manufactured especially for dis appointed Radicals. A Parsonage. The members of the Lexington circuit are again agitating the parsonage ques tion. We learn that a movement is on foot to buy the Callaway cottage and re surrect the same, but several, members are opposed to investing in this piece of architectural dilapidation, prefering to build anew house. This we think the wisest plan, for a comfortable four-room house could be built for about .*6OO, which is only $l5O for each church to raise. A parsonage is badly needed, for there will not be a vacant house in Lex ington next vear, we think. Mr. Mid Johnson is offering to sell beautiful lots in his grove at SIOO an acre, and there | are three parties now' with an eye on them. ■Sg, See Gray’g 15c Jean*.

The Immense -Sums sio ton from the State. Dr. Janes Now on Toast. The “Echo” Contribute., 40 Votes to tiupeach Renfro. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 16,1879. Editor Oglethorpe Echo : The Legislature, I presume, is claiming the attention of the country just now, and there fore something in the way of a letter from the Capital will, I hope, be of interest to your many readers. The House, during the past week, has pass ed quite a number of Dills, but few of any gen era I Interest—some of which are general laws and some local. Investigation and impeachment is the main excitement now. The impeachment of Gold smith is drawing to a close. He has tendered his resignation to the Governor and abandon ed his defense and given up the gbost. The Governor, however, refused to accept his res ignation and the impeachment will never theless go on to a filial conviction. He (Gold smith) has probably robbed the State, if re ports be true, of more than sloo,ooo. Conip troller-Geuerals of Georgia will, henceforth, be honest or else step down and out. There is no doubt of his guilt. The laborx of tne Legislature in his case have not bean in vain. $122,000 a year have been collected for the past five years more than xvas necessary for the legitimate expenses of the government, and yet it has all always been absorbed. The belief now is that it required that amount to make up for the stealing. 1 learn the special tax on whisky returned to the State by Gold smith was, for the whole State, SIO,OOO, when the amouut ought to have been near, if not quite, $75,000. In this ease the State has lost not less than $50,000 a year. So in the matter of insurance taxes. The auionut returned, as collected, was very far short of the truth. So I might continue to enumerate. The legislators do not exult over the fall of Goldsmith, but feel sad that a prominent Sun day-school man should thus turn out. Just so it has ever been. Those who desire to play the rascal often put on the garb of Christian ity, to more eflectually deceive. 1 believe Goldsmith was the head of all the Sunday schools in the State. Let his late be a warn ing to all future office-holders in Georgia. The committee to investigate the Treasurer have made a report of the evidence in his case and accompanied it with a resolution impeach ing him for high crimes and misdemeanors. The evidence shows that Renfroe, the Treasu rer, has been receiving interest ou deposits of the State’s funds. He is convicted of receiv ing himself between $5,000 and SIO,OOO. Per haps he has received much more. The House has been discussing the resolutions of im peachment in his case all day to-day. The vote has not been taken yet, but tne indica tions are that they will pass by a very large majority. Renfro has a great many personal friends and influencial family connections; i besides, the banks of Atlanta with which he ! has deposited the State’s iunds are legging for ! him. A great effort is being made to save ‘ him from impeachment. Some of the House —who are mt to lie reiiedou—are making ex traordinary efforts to save him. But he will have to go. Renfro sent in his resignation and proposed to pay the State back the inter est collected by him on deposits, but this the House will refuse. The Governor dare not ac cept liis resignation. If he were it would not save him. The committee on the Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary have reported. This com mittee are divided. About half censure and the other half exonerates. His ease will be disposed of next Friday. No doubt he has done wrong, but his wrong is not so serious as that of others. The committee to investigate the Agricultu ral Bureau are hard at work. They are ma king some progress. Rumor has it that they have so far discovered many irreguU.ri ies and are likely to dig up others more damaging. The whole concern is no doubt full of corrup tion, and .if the vote were to be taken over again would be abolished without any oppo sition of consequence. The Commissioner, it is reported, is about to resign in order to save himself. “ Leaf by leaf the roses fall.” Your editorial commending the Legislature for its actings and doings was highly appreci ated by your friends and the Assembly gener ally. It sounded a great deal better, and looked more decent and manly, to encourage a body of men engaged in a great undertaking which, if successful, will benefit the present and future generations, than to be writing of them as if they were a set of rascals, knaves and ignoramuses—like, for instance, one of your correspondents, who wrote some time s nee that the people of his neighborhood were training hounds to run the Legislature out of Atlanta next winter. He ought to run for an office in his county again, to see how many friends he has. The Legislature, in these in vestigations and impeachments, have to fight the blood, the flesh, and the devil, and need the support of an honest and intelligent con stituency. Let me say again that your edito rial on the Legislature contributed at least twenty votes in favor of impeaching Renfro. With such able endorsement the Legislature will yet clean out the Augean stables. M. WOODSTOCK. HET. Base ball. Needing rain. Picking cotton in a hurry. Sowing oats in abundance. Col Tom. Daniel, of Greene county, smiled upon the boys again last Saturday. With a little more rain and a late fall the pea crop of our district will be very fine. The young people had a grand socia ble atCapt J. H. Wright’s, one night last week. Let’s have nother. Died, Sept. 15th, 1879, Mr. Howell Har rison, at the residence of his son, Mr. W. H. Harrison. He was 83 years of age. The beautiful and accomplished Miss Della Callaway of Wilkes, spent a few days with the Misses Drake, last week. Messrs. Ed. Dorsey, from M. G. &J. Cohen’s, of Athens, and McWhorter, of Anti och, paid us a pleasant visitone day last week. Messrs. Peek A Oliver are getting as much sawing as they can do. They also have a gin attached to their steam mill; so bring iu your cotton. The beautiful and accomplished Miss Anna Turner, of Centreville, spent a few days with Miss Cora Glenn, last xveek —and a cer tain young man was happy. The Patch Club, of Woodstock, and the Seed-Ticks played a game of b. b. last Satur day week. Score stood—Seed-Ticks, 30; the Patch club, 18. They will play another game next Saturday week, at Chandler’s Hill. The Fountain camp-meeting was a suc cess, notwithstanding the split up among the trustees. We never saw better order at a camp-meeting in our life. We hope the trou ble between the trustees will be settled, and let old Fountain be a camp-ground for gener ates to come. It has been a camp-ground from my earliest recollection and I hope it will remain one. “Our ville” seems to be troubling some of the correspondents—N. S. N.” in partic ular, who says, our ville xvas never pronounc ed but once, and that time by a Woodsawyer, etc. Now, I don’t know “N. S. N.,” but heard that he xvas a country school teacher So I suppose that accounts for his abnormal state of mind. Col L. A. Greene, the artist, and his j beautiful and accomplished daughter, left I here last Monday for Lexington. The Colonel ■ is a first-class artist, and we xvish him success. ! Give him a trial and be satisfied for vourselves. ! M iss G. made a number of friends in our com- j mnnity, especially among the young men.

Patrons, remember that, very early this • year, I notified you, through these colamns, that I would ride for half-price mileage, with the distinct understanding that I be paid promptly by November Ist, at which time my professional year closes. I expect and require that you pay me promptly by or be fore that day, and if you fail to do so yon need not call on me after that day, bnt call npon uiv attornev into whose hands I expect to , place, for collection, everv note and account not settled by that time. If you wish to settle your bills you must call at my office, for I can- ! not afford to ride ten times as much to collect as Ido to make the money. No deductions • allowed on bills. Very truly, W. H.

Moss, Principal. WILLIE MURRAY. The Glade community was shocked bv the death of this young man, on the night of the 15th Inst. He was the son of Mrs. Sarah Cooper, of Athens, by a former husband. He had resided at the Glade for several years, where he gained the confidence and esteem of the entire community, as the many anxious watchers bv his sick bed aoundantly testified. By his honesty, integrity and kind-heartedness he had become remarkably popular with those who knew him best, and his associates fee 1 that a valued link in their social charm is broken A few weeks ago Willie was strong in vigorous young manhood, but typhoid fever selected him as the victim of its relentless fury, and despite the skilful nursing, anxious watching, heart* throbbing* of loving friends, [and the earnest prayers of his devoted mother, his young form was stilled in the icy embrace of Death, and his spirit sped its flight to the God who gave it. About twenty-two years closed his earthly ca reer. How short the stay on earth! How bright the prospects of his budding manhood! But how soon the slanting shadows came athwart his ‘ flowery pathway and spread the pall of imper ishable gloom over the earthly scene. How certain it is that death'will come, bnt how uncertain the time of its approach? Let the young be admonished and be ever ready. If words of sympathy and tears of compassion would soothe the sorrows of the bereaved moth er her tears would soon he dried; but how vain all earthly comfort!
