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 County Press. From the Augusta Evening News.) 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 but a reasons >le compensation for the <ou*Madvertiaing, which is their main These dailies know this fact, teat it' they can bo gotten out B then they will ag:.;:: :■ r:ro: ami fix the rate a; any > may desire. There is :: i a Hfe *r in the State that no: mgr.. ■!> county ton times the value : Bmtiuing it receives, and the ctuu- Hprouage is not only their right but tity’s interest. The country -ers ot the Legislature should look uis matter, and do justice to their raTpero and their constituency. ITHC CLADK. BEPPO. • —...N0 rain yet.

Mrs. Prof. Glenn returned to her home at Jefferson, last week, in company with her hondsomeson, Frank. Our roads are from too to four inches deep in impalpable dust. Two young gents —We don't now say who—have hung up their martin gourds and are down this way hunting np the birds. We have seen and heard of fewer parff ridges and wild turkies this season than ever before. Where are they ? Who was that at the Association that, sitting beside his “ Dolcinae” in church, pull ed out his hostess’ napkin to wipe his weeping ev—no —nose ? ......“ Sweet little” Miss Blanche Hance closed her school on the 3rd inst., and has re turned to her home at Crawford, and one of onr young men has turned “ pale.” A young man called on a young lady and she wanted to know if he had called to get some sorghum, as some others had done. “ No,” said he, “ I am not after that kind of sweetness.” Mr. R. F. Turner will commence him a neat residence as soon as Mr. John Jackson whom he has employed to boss the job, has completed Mr. Andrews’ house. By the way John Jackson is one of the fastest, cheapest and best workmen we ever saw. We are glad to learn that Mrs. L. P. Goolsby, who has been quite ill at her father’s in Elbert, is much better and will return home this week. Mr. J. L. Jarrell, of that live firm of Witcher & Jarrell passed through here last week, with a load of flour from Andrews & Davenport’s mills, doing his own driving— saving a driver’s expenses.

His brain reeled—he collapsed—his mouth flew open—his cigarfell out—his hat flew off reason came back—he wheeled his horse around and with lightning speed made for his sweetheart’s house, which he had just left. He gathered several friends who, with guns, axes, pithforks, oysters and coffee for three, went to kill it; but getting sight of it ran for their lives, “he above the rest.” He staid all night and rode, next morning, five miles around that spot to get home. Ask a young gent of gigantic longtitude just below here about it. (Explained next week.) ROCK SPRING. P. S. G. Pick cotton. Turnips fine. Gathering peas. Looking for rain. Wells nearly dry. Farmers sowing oats: Chills and fever. Mr. Will Tom Patman is carrying on business with his new engine. We learn that one oftlie belles of Goose- Pond is wearing a large engagement ring. Two-thirds of a cotton crop made this year, but sweet potatoes are puny, like every thing else growing in this section. ... ...Look out, for^wedding times are draw ing near. Butter aud eggs will be of good sale. Hirschfield is doing a good part by the farmers round Sandy Cross, selling good goods very cheap. Come in, all you farmers. Dr. Kinnebrew said that he was com ing in here with his saw mill, but he seems to be very slow. Tell him if he don’t do better we will turn him off und hire him over again. Col. A. D. Mathews says he will make a middling cotton crop if frost stays off three weeks, but if it should come now, his cotton will be short. Some of our boys go to see the girls on one Sunday, and steal their gloves, for an ex cuse to go back the next. Col. L. M. Carter says that his cows have come home once without his going after them.

Onr boys are lying supinely in the shade, while the girls don’t seem to care a bit. Many oats have not been sown as yet on account of the “dry drought.” When “ Red Bird” flew up to roost the other night he was heard to sing, “ Ha-o, this ’ere bed’s got feathers in it.” He evidently has been roosting in a brash heap. Tor the pnblic safety we think that Senator Mathews should be quarantined against, as he has the “ yellow” fever in its most malignant type. There was a sociable at Mr. Chandler Callaway’s last Friday evening.

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.
