THE OGLETHORPE ECHO BETtmN OF THE WAICDEBEB. E*> President GRANT landed in San ' Francisco last Saturday, and was the re cipient of the grandest public demonstra te i ever known upon the American con tinent. It is now an accepted fact that the Republican nomination for President will bo tendered Gen. GRANT, but his acceptance is yet veiled in doubt. We believe, that he will be their standard bearer; and it is tiseV' 5 to deny or ignore the fact—he is to-day the strongest man in their ranks nr.d'will be hard to beat. The capitalists r.f the North, East and West will rally arorand him almost to a ma i—and money holds the balance of power in -his world. They want a strong Government to protect their moneybags, and they believe that Grant can and ; will •give it to them. To meet this ad versary the Democracy must make a Stubborn and desperate resistance. They must nominate a man as bold and fear less as Grant, who will meet force with 1 force. There must be no division or con tention in our ranks, but the Democracy of the Union must pull together as a man. We cannot afford to again place oar liberties in the hands of this tyrant. The consequences are too fearful to con template. The inauguration of Grant would he the death-knell to the few rights now accorded the South. Ke bates our section and we return his hatred with interest. There will be no persecu tion too great, no humiliation too vile for him to visit upon our defenseless heads. The whirlwind of his wrath would sweep with pittiless force throughout the length and breadth of our sunny South, and each State be again turned over to that merciless horde of varnpyres, who ! like starved vultures only await the sig nal of their chief to again swoop down upon their prey. REGULATING LEGAL ADVERTISING. We see that this bill was called up in the Senate, last Saturday, and again laid on the table for the present. We hope the Senate will not do the weekly press of Georgia such a gross injustice as to re quire them to work for the public at a price that will ultimately drive nine tenths of us to the wall—which the bill will accomplish, if passed- Even with the amended rate fixed by the Senate on the House bill it is far less than the average transient rates of newspaper. If they are determined to meddle with the matter, let them say the price shall not exceed $1 per square for the first inser tion, and 75 cents for each subsequent publication—the accepted scale for ad vertising throughout the United States. This is now the maximum charge for le gal printing by Georgia papers. It is un fair to make a paper with a circulation of 2,000 work as low as one that does not exceed .‘IOO copies—and that is what this bill will do. As we said before, this act, if passed, will sound the death-knell of a large majority of our county organs. It should be entitled, “A bill to extermi nate the weekly press of Georgia and to build up the monopolous dailies.” We arc yet to see the first line in a city daily denouncing this bill. Oh, no ! They are to reap a rich harvest from the wreck of their weaker and more obscure brethren. Ilut we hope and believe the Senate will come to our rescue and prevent the enactment of so unjust a law. Were it referred back to the House to-day we be lieve it would be overwhelmingly voted down. LEGISLATIVE ABSENTEES. We notice a number of papers agita ting the question that members of the Legislature should be docked for lost time. This we think a penurious patri otism that is indeed contemptible. Very few members in either the Senate or House but have made a great sacrifice of their pecuniary interests iii accepting office. The unforeseen and necessarily extended session of the present Legisla ture has detained them much longer than they comtemplated, and no reasonable man will object to an occasional visit home by members when they can be spared from their post. They are in the service of the State from the day the ses sion convenes until its adjournment, and it is out of their power to accept any other business during that time—hence it is the duty of the State to pay them for every hour of their stay. These men a are making great persoual sacrifice of their own business by remaining in At lanta so long, but they see its vital neces sity and so have nobly remained at their post of duty. Attributing to this unexampled patriotism mercenary mo tives is as silly as it is contemptible. We feel proud of their brilliant record, and when their glorious and Hurculean task is finished, a cheer for the session of '79 will ascend throughout our entire com monwealth, Caching from the mountains to the seaboard. They are heroes all! ANNUAL SESSIONS OF THE LEGISLATURE The late Constitutional Convention certainly made a mistake in substituting bi-ennial for annual sessions of the Leg islature. At the time of the adoption of that instrument we thought this clause a good one: but subsequent events have demonstrated clearly to us the folly of the change. In the first place, bi-enuial sessions are no saving to the State, for the accumulated business of two years will require just twice as lengthy ses sions as were that body to meet annually. Secondly, we think it unwise to leave the varied interests and departments of our State Government so long neglected. Oishouest officials could accomplish a groat deal in two years, especially when they have no master to watch over them. Again, the accumulated business of two years renders the thorough investigation of a department almost impossible. To return to annual will necessitate a change in the Constitution and a rati fication by the people. We suggest that our present Legislature pass the bill and we think the voters will sustain it. THE HEBO-MABTYR, From the tone of many papers of this State, the outside world would be lead to believe that Comptroller-General Goi.psmith —who basjust been impeach ed for high crimes and misdemeanors— i> an outraged and persecuted innocent, who suffered martyrdom at the hands of of the Legislature for his friends. Away with such fulsome, fawning whitewash ing of a blasted character! Let us call things by their right names. A martyr! Yes, our peuitentiary is full of such martyrs and heroes. Mr. Goldsmith had a fair and impartial trial before the Senate, and so conclusive and damning was the evidence against him that his at torneys could not even put up a plea in his defense. The extent of the law-was me ted out to him, and our only regret is that it was too lenient. We have no merey on a man who robs widows and orphans—even if it is for his friends. But .Mr. Goldsmith has paid the penalty for his crimes, and weieagg biai in his retire ment to private life. THE TEST I. A TEST IKON ATUSTA. ■ Dr. *Jane&, the Commissioner of Agri culture, has tendered his resignation to tire. Governor, which was accepted, and Col. M. W . Henderson, of Newton, ap pointed in liis place. Col. 11. i em phatically the right man, and we may now expect, great things from this de partment. There are many ugly rumors afloat about Dr. Janes’ administration. The committee to investigate this Bureau lias not yet reported. The Doctor says he resigned on account of the personal . antagonism toward himself, and which was injuring the Bureau. Ibis week aresolution was introduced in the Legislature censuring Gov. Col quitt, but it was overwhelmingly voted down. 'I his was just and right, for the Governor is as far from any intentional wrong as an unborn child. Severe and cutting thrusts were also made at him by several speakers. I he Legislature referred the case of Capt. Nelms, Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary, to the Governor with pow ,-erto act. It is said he will resign. Ihe impeachment trial of Treasurer Renfro was to have commenced yester day. It is thought that he will be im peached, bnt not deeitizenized,. An early adjournment of the Legisla ture is now probable.

It is asserted that investigations into the books of former regimes in some of the departments reveal matters capa ble of extensive investigation. Ex- Comptroller Madison Bell’s books will bear straightening out, while Dr. Angier, Bullock’s Treasurer, is as liable to punish ment as was Goldsmith. Altogether, the Legislature has got its tail curled, and is disposed to probe matters to the very bottom. In this determination they will be sustained by every honest man in Georgia, no matter if the session lasts twelve months.

The British have to conquer Afghanistan again. ATHENS STILL AHEAD. Astonishing as it may appear, yet it is nev ertheless a tact that Athens is a stride ahead of Atlanta, or any other city in the State, in some very important commercial enterprises. This section of country, and especially Ogle thorpe county, has long felt the need of a first class establishment, where the farmer, the merchant, the mechanic, the professional man, the laborers and etfrubody else, could get their wants supplied without having to visit forty different stores for that purpose. Now, this great want is at last fully supplied by an old established merchant in Athens. He has just returned from New York, where he purchased everything to complete a frst-class variety stnrr. So when you go to Athens—it makes no difference what you want—whether at wholesale or retail, call on JAMES H. H LO GINS, proprietor o/Me Great Southern Vari ety Store, and he will supply you at prices as lotr as the lowest. He is now prepared to supply country merchants with small crates ot Crockery, prepared and packed in New York, to suit the country trade, and he espec ially desires merchants to examine his prices (Width tie will send on application,) before sending their orders to other markets. He will supply you with Lime, Cement and Ker osene (HI in lots of one barrel to one hundred barrels as cheap as you can get it from any market in the world. He has Lamps, Glass ware and China of all grades, Family and Fancy Groceries, Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Hats,’Saddles, Bridles, Whips, Collars, Leath er, Harness, Wood and Willow Ware, Cigars and the largest stock and greatest variety of fine and cheap Chewing Tobacco in the eity. Now, you have all heard of the Nrre* B dersoj the A'orld, and we are now going to tell you of the Eighth Great Wonder of the World, and we want every uiau, woman and child that reads the Oglethorpe Echo to go to Athene and see this great wonder — it is Ltie Fire Cent Qsupter at J. H, HUGGINS’, ivhere everything is sold for only fee cents, and vou can get thousands of things that you uewf, too. When you go, carry along a few nickels and bring back a wagon load of House hold Goods. Don’t forget the place—it’s at J. 11. HUGGINS, No, 7 Broad st, Athens, Ga, CURRENT TOPICS. Twelve years ago Texas sold but 75,- 000 bales of cotton ; last year she sold over 1,000,00<1 bales. Fifty years ago, the 15th of next mouth, George Stevenson’s first engine took the track on rails. A negro in Waco, Texas, caught a number of large rats, and alter skinning them sold them for squirrels. A number of persons boarding with a Mr. Dixon, in Chicago, were poisoned a few days ago by eating some pressed ham. At Dunders, Minnesota, there is a goose thirty years old that laid fifteen eggs and hatched out nine goslings this year. Madame Minnie Shaw, only 271 inch es high, has just’given birth to a tine boy weighing six pouuds, near Fort Wayne, j Illinois. . Upright Legislator—“ What, sir! You take me for one who can be bribed ? 1 You insult my sense of honor. But in case I was such a man, how much would you give ?” Lieutenant Carey is going to sue the Paris Figaro, which said that he being a sworn Communist aad hater of imperial ism, manceuvredso as to lead the Prince Imperial into danger, and then deserted him. A deposit of 8115 was made in the Por amouth (N. H.) savings bank n June, 1835. Last Tuesday the book was presented at the bank for the first time since, and the treasuer entered in it 81,310.70 dividends to July, 1879. It is announced that the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, has been purchased bv a company of Eastern capitalists for 8200,000. The interior will be illumi nated with electric lights, and telegraph wires will be introduced in the cave. A colored woman at Granbury, Texas, has given birth to twins, one of whom is black and the other white. Milk-and-cider, as it were. The husband of the woman don’t know whether to consider himself a white man or to get mad and raise a fuss about it. A pawnbroker named Turner was found dead in his chair in his pawnshop last week in the city of Cincinnati. Aset of false teeth were found lodged in his throat, completely cutting off the opera tions of the tesaphagus and the epiglottis. It was from this that he died. Slaves on the plantations around San tiago de Cuba have demanded their lib erty, and are running away. A Madrid dispatch announces that the Government wilf propose to the Cortes that liberty be granted to the slaves on July 1, 1880, on condition of seven years obligatory labor with wages paid. The tenacity with which toads cling to life is well examplified in the case of one which was resurrected from a catch-basin on Chapel street, in New Haven, yester day. After a seven years’ imprisonment in solid cement this toad, when released from his surroundings, hopped offjust as if nothing unusuafhad happened. The Swainesboro Herald tells how a lot of hands working on a plantation near that place, one day last week came upon a drove of twenty-five ’possums, and be sides these the varmints were hanging on the adjoining trees and lying in the corn ers of the fences in such numbers as to be uncountable. It is unaccountable how they got there. Some notion of the desolation of Mem phis may be gleaned from the fact that on Sunday last, the seventh Sunday since the outbreak of the epidemic, not a church bell pealed forth upon the air, and but one service of any kind was held, and that at the Hernando Street Protes tant Episcopal Church, where Dr. Dal zell, the minister, with two ladies and a gentleman, held morning service. The sad news of the death of Mr. H. Lf Stuart, the generous New Yorker who lately presented the State of Georgia with the portrait of Dr. Crawford W. Long, the discoverer of anaesthesia, is atinouno ed. It occurred on Tuesday at the house ofMrs. Long, in Athens, where he has been a guest, and where he was stricken with the paralytic stroke which ended his life. Brigham Young mixed the Mormon Church property with his own in a way that, in law, left it all at his death as cne estate. The executors, who are Mormon dignitaries, undertook to separate the two equitably ; but the heirs, consisting of the original and only lawful Mrs. Young and her children, have had a re ceiver appointed, and it looks as though they would finally get the entire amount, A negro man went into the house of Judge Sheats, living near Villa Rica, in Carroll county, anti got under the bed in the •room occupied by the Judge's daughters. When one of the young la dies entered the room to retire she ha] - petted to look under the bed and there she saw the villain. She immediately left the room, locking the door, but the negro raised a window and escaped. He was afterwards caught and is now in jail. The British outlook just now must be rather an unpleasant one for the minis try. The war in Zuiuland is not entire ly ended; the struggle in Afghanistan is renewed and An Afghan force is said to be approaching the Russian frontier; a war with Burmah is probable at an early date ; the land question bids fair to con vulse Ireland; and in England there is a very severe depression in the labor mars ket. But it is historical that very much worse situations have been retrieved. A man in Kansas, who represented himself as a “ practical farmer,” visited all the fairs with a prize pumpkin, and took the premiums every time. It meas ured seven feet around and weighed two hundred and thirty pounds. Several days ago, at Counsel Grove, a rival farm er attempted to tap the pumpkin, in the absence of its owner, to get some of the seeds, and be discovered that it was made of wood. This beats the ingenious Connecticut invention of bass-wood cu cumber seed. Mr. E. L. White, a New York Tribune correspondent, who has recently travel ed through Utah Territory, estimates that of the 125,000 Mormon population only one-third are living in polygamy ; that is, only one-tenth of the male adults avail themselves of the privilege of having more than one wife—poverty and other considerations preventing the rest. Of these, only a portion have married since the law of 1862, and a prosecution must follow within five years of the crime, which consists in contracting any mar riage subsequent to the first when the first wife is living. Dr. Folsom relates to us a remarkable case in his practice of yesterday. No such is mentioned in the authorities. A child was born with the whole of its in testines lying outside of the abdomen, having prutruded through an opening near the umbilicus about the size of a quarter of a dollar. After enlarging the orifice and manipulating an hour be suc ceeded in replacing the intestines. He is confident, from appearances, they have been outside all through the foetal life, as the child did not seem to have suffered from it, but as soon as replaced it nursed with the usual vigor. The Cuba Association of Planters has published and laid open for subscription an exposition to King Alfonso, asking ior permission to foment immigration, in view of the forth-coming and unvoida ble abolition of slavery on the island. They propose to import from 25,000 to 30.000 Chinamen yearly, whom they con sider best adapted to endure the climate and the fatigues of Cuban field labor. In addition to these Chinamen, they pro pose to bring Irora Spain and the Cana ry Islands 10,000 workmen, continuing the importation in this manner until the number shall have reached 2)0,000 men- Tlrel of Waiting. The wives of several of the Crawford rioters, who were sent to the penitentia ry about two years ago, have took unto themselves other husbands. The law gives them a divorce. A Stray Nulls Monday night Willie Deadwyler went ont ’possum hunting. lie drove :o a point where lie “ took to the woods’’ a mule attached to a sulky. Upon his re turn from the chase he found the animal missing. Several days afterwards he found it wandering aliout down the railroad. The Eqninox and No Rain. This change passed in our county with a good deal of wind and dust and a few drops of rain, but not enough to lay the dust. A good season is badly needed now. The planting of fall crops has been‘delayed on account of the drought, and cotton is suffering about as badly as , it did last summer. The ground is too ; hard to plow. A Stranjfp Circumstance. Mr. Lacy Banks, of this county, is about 70 years old. He notv lives at the 1 spot where he was born and reared; was for a longtime a Justice of the Peace in his district, once ran for Ordinary, but has never in his life been to Athens. When we consider that Athens is our commercial emporium and lies at out door, this is a rather singular circum stance. —— - I'iiilliikiii Ynms. IV e have received from our clever friend, Willie Stewart, some of thelinest sweet potatoes seen this year. Now Stewart lias no farm to our certain knowledge, and where he obtained this acceptable gift is veiled in mystery. If the patches of any of our friends have been robbed they- had best compromise the matter, as there is now no earthly chance to recover their property. Pettv I,a recur. I lie negro race is undenitbly improv ing in this county, so far as honesty is concerned, as the riddance of our jail from offenders shows.. We hear but few complaints of thieving of any kind. This speaks well for our colored element, and we hope they will continue to show so good a record. There are mean men and rascals among all races, but it is the duty of good citizens to denounce and cry down crime wherever known. J>i<l Guano Ray ? The unanimous verdict of farmers is that they lost heavily be using commer cial fertilizers this year, some claiming | that it was an injury to their cotton. This is not attributed to any decline in the brand of guano but to unfavorable | seasons. For the past three years we j believe our farmers have lost money by using gnano. Less and less is purchased each season, however, and we believe in a few years but little will be bought. Gen. Toombs Eclipsed. Our big-hearted friend Phillips, of the Millstone Store, read where Toombs gave a barrel of flour to a blind man on the streets of Atlanta. Now Phillips is a man who won’t allow any body to get ahead of him, so he cast his eye around to find the most needy and worthy ob ject for a similar denation on his part. Of course the Editor of this paper was selected. And the flour was tip-top, too. Phillips has got a sort of corner on floui in this county, and can sell it cheaper than any man in Georgia. Mrs. T. A. Adams, Millinery. This excellent lady, whose taste is proverbial in our county, announces the arrival of her fall and winter stock. She this season lias bought very heavily and is enabled to offer extraordinary bar gains in every line. Mrs. Adams’ was the first advertisement ever published in the Echo, and each season has it re appeared. She receives a splendid pat ronage from this county, for our lady readers know they can be better suited at her establishment, for less money, than anywhere else. ItctarniMl Home. We see by the Athens papers that Air. C. W. Davis, the famous photographer, has returned from his visit North, and his premium gallery is in full blast. That this will be gratifying intelligence to the many friends and patrons of Air. Davis we have no doubt, as we know of a number who have been anxiously awaittng his arrival. You ean now | make arrangements to have your family photographed, feeling confident you can find Air. D. at his camera, and, if possi ble, turning out work superior to all previous efforts. Times.” AY e are heartily sick of this meaningless cry. Times are about as good now as they ever will be, unless men use their tongues less and hands more. We think the country is in a most healthy condi tion, and men who work hard and man age well have no cause to complain of their lot. We have for several years in succession been blessed with good crops, and peace and plenty now smiles upon the land. If we are not notv ex periencing good times we never will. Let us cease our complaining, go to work and continue to improve our condition, and return thanks to the Giver of all good for the manifold blessings he lias vouchsafed his ungrateful and unwor thy servants. - A New Store and a I.ive Merchant. Our wide-awake young friend, F. H. Kroner, of Winterville, has an advertise ment in the Echo to-day. He has a bran-new house and a fresh lot of goods. There is not a pound of “hard stock’’ in his store. His goods were bought only a few days ago, and are all fresh, stylish and first-class in every re spect. He got a discount on his bills by paying cash, and generously intends to divide the saving with his customers. AY e have known Frank Kroner for a long time and can confidently and fear lessly recommend him to our readers. He is as clever a gentleman as we ever knew and is thoroughly identified with our county. What ever he tells you about his goods yon may go right home and swear to. lie has a splendid stock of goods and don’t intend to keep his light under a bushel. Frank Kroner is the soul of honor and reliability, and will carry out to the letter every prom ise he makes. - Does Farming I*ay ? Yes, better than any other business you can follow, when properly conduc ted. No business is profitable when left even in part to the care of thriftless em ployees. Look at such men as Bob and Raltn Arnold, A. AV. AA’ilkins, James AI. Smith, the Howards, Witchers and like characters in every district of our coun ty, and then say with proper manage ment a farm won’t pay! These men have made money from their farms eve ry year since the war and will continue to do so. Air. S. 11. Stokely says his lands pay him a larger dividend upon the investment than any property he owns. Buy only for cash, stick close to your business, and our word for it, you will make a good support and accumu late some money every year. AA’liat bu siness but a farm could have afforded to pay the usurious advance of 50 and 100 percent, for supplies? and this is what many planters have done year after year. OUR CORRESPOMfIEWCE DEPAfITMENT, WINTERVILLE. REFORM. Oats sown in August have the rust, Mr. Kroner iias employed Jas. 8. Sims as salesman. We are glad to hear of the enlargement of the Echo. Cotton picking has become general all along the line. The fall crop of young rabbits and part ridges are fine. Hon. James M. Smith was at home this week on a short leave of absence. Mrs. Nancy Williams, an aged womar, 1 died in Madison county last week. Mr. John Winter is fast filling up and running over his store with new goods. j Prof. W.

Come | home and learn how to pick cotton. not necessarily make him “ down” on" the Agricultural Bureau, if he did roost near the ! i Commissioner’s old home. Our convictions 1 are the same as they were before, “ Sum.” Your statement, last week, of 435 ! pounds of cotton being the highest on record, is incorrect. Henry Clark, col., during the war or before (then property of Mr. Z. 11. Clark,) picked in one day 712 pounds of cot ton. This can be backed up by “gilt edge” living witnesses. The negro is still living and i is with Mr. Brantley Johnson, Last week this section lost, by- violent death, two of its members. Mr. lames Jones, who suicided in Athens, had, we learn, been partially deranged for several weeks. This, without doubt, was the cause of his lamenta ble act. Yet rumors are afloat of domestic trouble, excessive drink, ill success in busi ness, etc. But they are without foundation, ill-. J. was a quiet, unassumng, educated young man, and beloved by his neighbors. The oth er was Wm. Dunnaway, who lived in less than a mile of Mr. Jones, and their deaths were about 14 hours apart. Mr. D. was engaged ! in working in a well in Oconee county, that was filled with gas, and when he made his hist trip down he discovered that he couldn’t j stand it, and gave orders to he drawn up; but being overcome about half way, he fell out of the bucket, and was suffered to lie there and suffocate by- two cowardly negroes whom he had engaged as help. When assistance arri ved life had become extinct, CRAWFORD. HANS. Cotton bringing more here than in Ath ens. Hurrah! for the Echo!—s6 columns can’t be beat in tiie State. Mr. Luthie is missing from town very often of late. “ Something broke, ’ The guano merchants are getting in their little change ready for the cotton. I don’t know who “ Us” is, but I agree with him in regard to the “ watermelon patch.” Messrs. M. IT. Arnold & Son have se cured the services of Mr. John Hawkins dur ing the winter. We notice anew engine at the depot for Mr. W. T. Patman. It is of the Water town make. Will Tom is always up with the times. Dave has always had a desire to do bu siness on the city styles. I notice he has fenc ed in a regular book-keeper. I also notice an addition to his st ire-house. Uncle Dave Me. has been blowing con siderably among the boys about what a nice time he had while in Conyers—that he rode on the street cars, visited the park, etc. I don’t know about the park. Perhaps he went to the cemetery; but I know that there is no street cars in the city. 1 imagine he rode in an old hack built in i7OO. Ke thought he was in the car and was just as happy as if he had been tiding on Fifth avenue, X. Y. ■ . WIAXEY’S. SEPTEMBER. Farmers grumbling. The shortest crops ever known. Mrs. Durham is quite sick in Athens. There is a good deal of sickness in the neighborhood. Powell’s Factory is paying Augusta prices for cotton, deducting freight. Miss Lillie Fleming, of Athens, and Miss Dawson, of Atlanta, arc on a visit to Mrs. A. T. Brightwell. Miss Nc-llie Gilbert, of Atlanta, who has been spending several weeks with Mrs. Hitchens, has returned home. How is it that in Greene county labor ers can be compelled to comply with their contracts, while fu Oglethorpe the land-own ers are completely in the power of the labor ing class, who work only when they please? ROCK-FENCE. LED BIRD. Chestnuts and chinquepins next. ...... W e say hurrah for the steam gins at Antioch. Mr. Samuel Wooten, of Wilkes, was in our midst last week. The cotton crop is not as good as was anticipated some time ago. The thermometer stood within a few degrees of frost several mornings last week. Our gold mine is beginning to be the most public place in the county. We have many visitors daily. The Rev. Mr. J?igham, our P. E., spent the night with Mr. and Mrs. Wynne, of this community, last Saturday. The Seedticks and our Patch club will play a match game of b. b. at Howard’s bridge, on next Saturday, at 1 o’clock a. m. Mr. J. P. Smith butted his horse, one day this week, but he tried that portion of his head where the hair was the thickest and so saved himself. Madam Rumor has it that, since a cer tain young lady left AVoodstock, one of the young merchants has been to Lexington—and now he is happy. Mr. Smith, one of the employees work ing in our gold mine, was left to remain in the shaft the other night, and came very near freezing to death. The beautiful Miss Kate Lampkin, of Athens, who has been spending several weeks with her friends and relatives of this commu nity, left for her home last Tuesday. We had the pleasure of meeting Miss Willie A. Hardaman, of Monroe, who is on a visit to Miss C. 11. W., of this community. She will leave for her home this week, accom panied by her cousin, Miss Cora Wise. will debate lor tbe>r query, “Should the negro be colonized ?” We answer, No—we want the old, flat-nosed, gizzard-footed, kiukv lieaded, thick-lipped boys awhile longer. Mr. Deverell showed Mr. J. W. Kidd a quartz, that w-as taken from the Sale mine, Lincoln county, and at the same timeclaiming that the ore was taken from the vein on Mr. Id. B. Mathews’ place, which he purchased from Air. Kidd; and we learu that Kid has become so troubled about this that he now wants to go to .Texas. It was only a joke, old fellow —don’t leave for Texas yet. Though Shaking Like an Aspen Leaf AVith the chills anti fever, the victim of ma laria may still recover by using the celebrat ed specific, Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which not only breaks up the most aggravated at tacks, but prevents their recurrence. It is infinitely preferable to quinine, not only be cause it does the business far more thorough ly, but also on account of its perfect whole someness and invigorating action upon the entire system.. Testimony is concurrect, pot - tive and ample showing the decisive nature of its effects, and that it is no more palliative. Physicians concede its excellence, and there is a constant influx of communications from persons in every class of society avouching its merits, and bearing witness to its superi ority over other remedies for malarial disease. It is especially popular throughout the West, wherever fever and ague prevails, as it does in many of the fairest and most fertile por tions of the vast region. ATHENS COTTON MARKET.

And the chills continue to shake us. The roads from Simston to Athens are ! fine. We learn that Mr. W. S Bush’s babv is quite sick. I Jno. P. Faust drives the best turu-out in this preeinct. Bethany church is wrestling with the mission question. The mills are becoming crowded again, owing to low water. Major M. B. Amason has made anoth er round—a fine boy this time. Cotton pickers get thirty cents per hundred and board in Simston. ......“Big John” went fishing the other evening—caught one sucker. The dry weather is playing havoc with I turnip, pea and potato patches. Mayor Cauehble is paying “hisdis | tresses” to a widow in Simston. Capt. J. W. Bridges bought a fifty dol lar sewing machine the other day. Mr. J. D. Hill ha? sixty acres in corn that will yield eight barrels per acre. Henry Bains has been confined to his room for ten days, from a mule kick. Young birds are getting large enough to shoot, and they aie very numerous. Cotton is opening very fast and it will all he gathered by the middle of November. Abe Faust, colored, has a very fine crop Abe is a good negro and deserves his success. Rev. Messrs. Ellis and Gibson gave us some good sermons at the Chapel last Sabbath week. Warnock Echols has moved from the Fleming place and Dr. Brawner will soon movi in. Madame Rumor says that “ Duco” has gone to Athens to become a preacher. So mote it be. Double barrel buggies are becoming very common. There were several at the Chapel last Sabbath. What a pity that the Legislature didn’t investigate Janes before they gave him anew lease on the State. That laughing man from Crawford was at Bethany, last Saturday and Sunday. Can you guess who he is ? Rumor tells of the approaching mar riage of one of our Simston belles. Won’t she invite us to the weeding ? The chills, oh ! the chills! They shake you by day and heat you by night. Several of our citizens are down with them now. We spent a very pleasant evening at Mr. J. I). Hill’s on Wednesday, of last week, where we met Miss Hill, of Washington, who is a bright and interesting young lady. Comptroller Goldsmith, in his future lectures to Sunday-schools, will insist, no doubt, upon the truth of that Scripture, “ The way of the transgressor is hard.” Go it, Leg islators!

Stephens much better than we could do ourselves. He says: “ Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, is a man whose age, experience and unblemished personal character give him a degree of i mportanee that is scarcely warranted either hy his past services or his present wis dom.” WOODSTOCK. IIET. Rah ! for the “ Echo !” Most too cool for cotton. Cotton coming in —slowly. Wonder where two certain young men went last Sunday ? A good manv visitors in our village last Saturday and Sunday. We know a certain M. D. that is badly stuck. We recommend pea-vines. Our merchants are receiving their fall goods, which they are selling remarkably cheap. The accomplished Miss Pope Binns, of Wilkes, was the guest of the Misses Drake last Sunday. A match game of b. h. will be played between the Woodstock club and the Seedticks at Buffalo bridge next Saturday. Dr. Knnebrew and Mr. John Haire, of Lexington, spent last Saturday and Sunday in our community, the guests of John L. Wright. The beautiful and accomplished Miss Lizzie and Tommie Callahan, of Bairdstown, were the geests of Mrs. C. C. Wright, last Sunday. The beautiful and accomplished Miss Fanny Ilubut, of Warrenton, is visiting rela tives in our community. We wish her a pleasant visit. The beautiful and accomplished Miss Fanny Watkins, of Simston, spent last Satur day and Sunday with the Misses Drake, of this place- We hope she will repeat her visit again in the near future. A negro man got his arm cut at Mr. Ed. Arnold’s saw mill, last Monday. He was cleaning the saw dust away from the saw and fell against it and cut his arm. Nothing se rious. The Quarterly Conference commenced at the Methodist church at this place last Thursday week, embracing Saturday and Sunday. The Rev. R. W. Bigham P. E. was in attendance and preached several instruc tive sermons. There was a large crowd present. A certain young man told ayonng lady, not long since, that ho has had the support of a family on his hands for several years. The young lady told him immediately that she had no use for widowers. That young man has never known the blessedness of married life. GREENE COUNTY. The Appalachee Association. Editor Oglethorpe Echo : On Tuesday morning of last week we startl ed to Greene county, to attend the annua meeting of the Appalachee Association. We went through Watkinsville, Farming ton and Salem. Watkinsville presents very little life, but perhaps more now than any other time—brushing up and preparing for the fair that comes off next month. In this aud “ blowing” for the fair every citizen of the county consists of a committee of one—aud of course they will succeed. The crops along the route from the Georgia Factory to Salem are about the same as in this section. Two-thirds of a cotton crop will be made. Farmington shows signs of improvement, and will some day be a pretty but small vil lage. Salem exhibits signs of decay and will, ere long, have a name only in history. Old age seems stamped upon this town, that flour ishen extensively about fifty years ago. From this place to Greshamvi lie, in Greene county, no crops, comparatively speaking, will be made. It will take ten acres of the best cotton near this place to make a bale, aud the upland corn is proportionately poor. We arrived at New Hope Church, Gres hamville, at 12 o'clock, and found two or three hundred people in attendance. All the local ministers were present, and Elders M. M. Landrum, Irwin and Stratum as visitors. The usuai routine of business was transacted, w ith preaching by Elders Butts, Bernard, Brooks, Stratton and Edens. We were handsomely entertained by that genial and whole-souled Christian gentleman, Capt. Win. McWhorter, and his interesting family. Indeed, the people seemed to vie with each other in their hospitality. We will not forget these good people soon. The church is situated on the ridge dividing the water-shed of the Oconee and Appalachee rivers, and nature has built a railway route all the way from Farmington to this place. The people in the Fork are greatly troubled about getting to market, on account of the hills near the river. We were told that five dollars could be made where one is now, were the contemplated road from Athens to Eaton ton in operation—lands being iS per acre and ean easily be obtained. We passed the line of the cyclone of 76 or 77. The up-turned clay roots tell the tale of destruction more forcibly than can be written. For a breadth of six or eight hundred yards nothing is left to tell the tale save those hil locks that will remain for hundreds of years. OUR AUGUSTA LETTER. Avgusta, Ga., Sept. 21,1879. ! Editor Oglethorpe Echo: Since my last there has nothing of any striking importance transpired in our city, save the general stir incident to the opening of fall trade, and from the hustle aud bustle of drays, wagons, carts and trucks on our streets, the idea is readily conceived that it has already set in with a vim that indicates very busy times for the next eight or nine months.’ Cotton ha* commenced coming in pretty pertly. Fall stock* of merchandize of I very descr.ptiou are being dailv received, I and judging from the huge piles of boxes, j bales, trunks, hogsheads, barrels, crates and casks that are to be seen unloaded dailv in I front of stores, on Broad street particularly, it would seem that our merchants are determin | ed to oiler inducements that cannot fail to se l cure for them a liberal share of the trade of | this portion of the State. If the handsomely - decorated and exceedingly attractive show- I windows that meet the eye as one strolls aloDg Broad street is to he taken as an index of I what may be found within, there is no ques j in my mind as to what will be the result of | their commendable determination. The New Market House received it finish ing touch and is considered one of the best ar ranged buildings of the kind in the South. The first story is the market proper, while overhead has been fitted up a public hall, ca pable of seating comfortably twelve hundred persons. The walls are ha ndsomely frescoed, a neat stage and drop-curtain placed at one end, while at the other a suit of comfortable rooms are provided, thus rendering the hall suitable for either shows, balls, concerts, fairs or public meetings. Anew clock has been put in the steeple, and the familiar sound of the old bell once more greets the ear as its clear, ringing tones reverberates through our streets, indicating the divisions of time so concisely arranged by the ingenuity of man. The spirit of improvement is still in full blast, and over a tjpzen building permits have been issued during the past month for the erection of dwellings and stores. Aside from the good work thus going on among our citi zens, the city has also caught the infection, and by resolution of the Council has pledged its faith tea projeet that will no doubt meet the approval ot every one, and that is the con version of the Parade Ground into a hand some Park. This can be accomplished by a comparitively small outly. After becoming | properly enclosed it can he gradually beauti- j fled by being laid off with walks, tlower beds interspered with choice shrubbery and sever al small fountains, etc., thus rendering at a pleasant promenade for “ye old folks,” and a safe and delightful resort "for children. There has recently been erected on Upper Greene street a very handsome church, in the Gothic style, exceedingly attractive in appear ance, and known as the Second Presbyterian Church. It is in chargeof Rev. Mr. Goetchins, who is an eloquent and eminent young divine. I understand that in Summerville (Sand Ilill) the wooden structure of the “ Church of the Good Shepherd” is to be removed and an elegant edifice erected in its stead. The architectural design of the buiiding is unique in all its appointments, and is to be of differ ent colored brick and stone, and when finished .will represent a cross. The contract has been awarded Messrs. D. H. fc J. T. Denning, which is a guarantee that the work will he neatly and substantially executed, thus ad ding another attractive addition to our sub- j hurban village. The pastor of the cnurch is Rev. E. G. Weed. Richmond Camp-Meeting closed last Wednesday evening. There was a large at tendance during the entire meeting, and on Sunday our city appeared almostdesert. Ev ery vehicle that could be procured was brought into requisition, and as the weather was fine, everybody that could secure a con veyance attended. There was great interest manifested in the services, and I understand quite a number of persons united themselves with the church. The weather has been exceedingly dry for the past two or three weeks. We have not had a rain of any consequence during that time. Forage of every description is coming in freely-and being disposed of at very low prices. The health of the city still remains good. There is some sickness hut nothing of a seri- ous nature. Augusta is making rapid progress in the matter of population. In 1860 it was about 11,000, and at present it is compiled at about 27,000, thus entitling us to a free mail deliv ery, which I am informed will be put in operation some time next month. And in this connection I would state that we have 7 banks; 16 schools—l 2 white and 4 colored; 26 churches—lß white and 8 colored; 26 se cret orders— 24 white and 2 colored ; 6 clubs and societies ; 12 fire companies; 6 military companies ; 2 daily papers, and last, though not least, we have 6 railroads that are tribu tary avenues of no Itttle commercial impor tance to our city, as we are thus placed in communication with the surrounding country at almost every point of compas. The excitement in reference to the approach ing municipal election has almost entirely subsided, and everything has assumed a calm that forebodes stormy times when the political storm cloud is again probed ; but it is to be hoped such will not be the case, and that the quiet state of affairs existing at present may continue during tli balance of the canvas. Mr. Mathew S. Kean, one of our prominent merchants and highly esteemed citizens, died in New York on the 17th inst., whither he had gone to purchase goods. His remains were brought home for interment last Satur day. Augusta. THE GLADE. BEPPO. A good shower. Kinder equinoctial. Why don’t farmers sow oats? Potato patches are looking fine. No bay has been saved this season. Our farmers are complaining of the poor pea crop. Several weddings on the tapis for the coming winter. Miss Kerling, of Elbert, was the guest of Miss McCoy Tiller last week. Mr. Jesse Jarrel and his excellent lady paid us a visit last Sunday. Rev. P. F. Brown preached a masterly sermon to a large audience last Sunday-. Chedel’s feet passed through here, last week. He purchased two large hamper bas kets, in which to carry them to Lexington. Mr. Hill’s squad of convicts, who have been at work on Hon. J. M. Smith’s, passed through here to-day. He will return with them in about two months. The two Sunday-schools at the Glade are working harmoniously, pleasantly anti profitably together. The Methodists have kindly offered the use of their church, which was accepted. W. J. Davenport, Jr., is well fixed for ginning quickly and satisfactorily. He has a feeder and compresser attached to his gin, and on the yards he has a pair of Fairbank’s stand ard six-ton scales. “ Bring in another horse.” A CARD. Patrons, remember that, very early this. year, I notified you, through these columns, 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. 1 expect and require that you pay me promptly by or be fore that day, and if you fail to do so you need not call on rue after that dag , but call upon my attorney into whose hands I expect to place, for collection, every note and acconnt 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. Jarrell. September Ist, 1879. Tanning on Scares. At the solicitation of my customers, I have decided to recommence tanning hides on shares, for parties who so desire. The high- j est cash price paid for hides at my tan-yard in Lexington. W. KNOX.

Why should we complain of hard times? Crop prospects were never better, cotton bring ing a good price, the health of the city good, and \\. T. BLACKWELL & CO. storing away 6,000,000 lbs. of fine Sweet, Mellow To bacco for the fall trade, so we all can have a good smoke.
