THE OGLETHORPE ECHO
T.X.*IITT,
Mt*r, Pablbker ud PrwiriMW.
Ora AKSIVESfIAKY.
On tfco ninth day of October, 1874, the
first miber Echo
wit issued and mffett* entry within the
circle of many art household, an appli
cant for public faror.
The project w considered by many
asa venture destined to failure; but it
had not undertaken without reflec
tion. iTe who appeared as its sponsor
and gave it a “ local habitation and a
name,” had been seized with a desire to
wander into untried regions. His incli
nations were constantly urging, “Go
West, young mao, go West,” and he
’ yi#dt<l to the suggestion and was fer on
tr / jouey to the Pacific coast, to
his vecWire in the Golden region.
' But, judgment had not ran along with
inclination, and its calls were so frequent
end so loud, *6 to -compel attention.
The result was a retrace of steps with a
determination to pass our life on the soil
of grand old Georgia, (where we had
been reared), among a people than whom
•God had never created a nobler.
W* selected Oglethorpe as a center of
popular and prosperous surroundings,
where we knew we should find culture
and refinement. The descendents of a
people among whom had lived the
-Lumps r nr, the Gilmers the Upsons
and “ primus inter pare*,” a Crawford,
must be a people with whom to dwell;
and suTely have we found it “ good to be
here,” ever since we “ built our taber
nacle."
Our success has exceeded our expecta
tions. A noble and generous people
have given ua the right band of fellow
ship and of friendship. Socially, our
position has been and is charmingly
suited to our utmost desires, and they
have appreciated our efforts.
• I*rom its inception, the Echo has
been well received and we are glad to say
steadily grown in popular favor until
uow, it has become a necessity in many
a household where its familiar face is
greeted with a pleasant smile of recog
nition on its weekly visits.
And now, on the recurrence of the
■fifth anniversary of its lurthday, we, its
sponsor, who have labored so hard to
produce such remits, can hut feel proud
ly happy of its success.
Our judgment was correct. Ogle
thorpe and its adjoinings was the place
better suite(jt.o us than the Pacific side
-oT&rad'ot^couritry.
Looking future, we should bg
ungrateful did we not feel an incentive
to greater exertions to put before our
generous patrons a paper worthy of their
confidence and support. Retrospect is
not always cloudless and pleasant. Is it
EVER? During our existence, we have
lived, nationally (a word in common use,
but to us detestable,) under a Radical
administration and, so far as Georgia is
one of the .‘-talcs of the American Union,
we have felt the effect; and yet, during
our short life, what home changes have
been effected and how much better has
been ©ur condition than that of our less
fortunate neighbors. Compare it with
that of our sister, from which the Savan
uah alono separates—long oppressed
Garoliua—and how grateful must we be,
that our circumstances euabled us, so
early in the reconstruction period, to re
gain home rule and develop our re
sources in the onward march to ourpres
entprosperity and happiness.
In the accomplishment of this, the
Echo feels that; wo have not been lack
ing in our efforts and that our labors
have been helpful.
Whilst within the borders of our great
{State we are prosperous in the present
and with an outlook of more brilliaut
prospects, yet there are dark clouds in
the political horizon which threaten to
deluge our common country and, as a
component part, we cannot escape the
evils which may befall the whole.
The contest which began with the es
tablishment of the Government, between
Federalist and Republican, has been
continued with nnabated zeal, through
various party designations, up to the
present moment, with opinions and sen
timents as divergent as the original set
tlers themselves, the North and the
South, have fought this one question.
The Northman has been a Federalist and
elamerous for strengthing the power of
the Nation, as he loves to call our Fed
eral Government. The Southernor has
been a Republican (in its strict meaning)
and desirous of perpetuating the sover
eignty of the several States in onr Con
federation of N ATION3, as Mr. Cal
houn so happily named it. And, tho*
beyond controversy, the results of the
war have given strength to the Federal
Government, it has not been settled that
the States have no rights "which
the Federal Government is bound
TO respect. And this issue is now on
us and before us. Extreme Radicalism
would consign each one of the glorious
old original thirteen to a position, in a
government of their creation, occupied
by counties to their State. Democracy
would resurrect and hold up on high the
old Constitution and show the powers
delegated and retained.
Does any one say we are fighting dead
issues? Never. Nothing inemediably
settled shall we disturb. We assert
these living issues. Alexander Hamil
ton and Thomas Jefferson are dead.
But their sentiments and opinions are
kept iu active existence by the opposing
parties in the country, and the Presiden
tial canvas of 1880 will be contested on
this very issue. We have taken our
stand.
As in the past, so in the future the
Echo shall be found in the front ranks
of Democracy, fighting under the consti
tution for the rights of the States. Our
watchword, j“ Liberty and the Con
stitution — One and Inseperable.

The Legislature has before it a bill to
regulate the price of legal advertising in
this State. The measure would be a
proper one did it not operate against the
country press. In fact, it is said that the
bill was gotten up in the interest of the
city mouopolous dailies who are desirous
of using this as a means to crush out the
countrv newspapers. Not many years
since, these dailies controlled a large pa
tronage from the county officers contigu- j
ous to their cities, and ail of this patron-1
age has been lost by the establishment of
weeklies in nearly* every county. The
country press, as a rule, do not charge

ATHENS STILL AHEAD!
Astonishing as it may appear, yet it is nev
ertheless a fact 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 Oyle
thorpe county, has long felt the need of a first
class establishment, where the fa,~m,er, the
merchant, the mechanic, the professional man,
the laborers and everybody 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 Jirsl-class variety
stare. So when vou go to Athens—it makes
no difference what you want—whether at
wholesale or retail, call on JAMES H. HUG
GINS, proprietor of the Great Southern Vari
ety Store, and he will supply you at prices
as low as the lowest. He is now prepared to
supply country merchants with small crates
of Crockery, prepared and packed in New
York, to suit the country trade, and he espec
ially desires merchants to examine his prices
(which he will send on application,) before
sending their orders to other markets. He
will supply you with Lime, Cement and Ker
oseye Oil 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 aud
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 city.
Now, you have all heard of the Seven Won
ders of the World, and we are now gosng to
tell you of the Eighth Great Wondfcr of the
World, and we want every man, woman and
child that reads the Oglethorpe Echo to
go to Athens and see this great wonder— it is
the Five Cent Counter at J. 11. HUGGINS’,
where everything is sold for only five cents,
and you can get thousands of things that you
neefi, too. When you go, carry along a few
nickels and bringback a wagon load of House
hold Goods. Don’t forget the place—it’s at

Hair Vigor ,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, ■which
is at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
Of the hair immediately, and causes anew
growth in all cases where the glands are
Rot decayed; while to braaby, weak, or
Otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the sealp,
keeping it cool, elean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
Asa Dressing for Ladies’ Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It Imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
artiele for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.
