LEXINGTON, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1883.
A new idea has struck us since we
moved from our old quarters in the
Opera House to (he new China Hall,
first or second doors above the Uni¬
versity Bank, and it will profit you
if you take advantage of it.
A New Years’ offering; something good.
We mean to give this iittlo piece
of the Echo a value that it never
had before—a cash value. To do
this, we offer you a discount of five
per cent, if you will present this ad.
in settling all retail hills of one dol¬
lar or over. Don’t show us the pa¬
per until you know the amount of
yours bill; you can then he sure (hat
we did not price things to make up
for the discount. If yon will think
a moment you will see that this
piece of paper may be worth five
cents or it may he worth $5.00, ac¬
cording to the amount you wish to
buy. You know that our prices
have always been low, and therefore
can guess that with our present low
expenses, they won’t he any higher.
Don’t you think it is possible they
may be lower? Anyway we intend
to make you buy from us.
New China Hall, opposite Campus.
We have the prettiest store in
Athens, improved to suit our ideas
and business. AVe have the lowest
expenses; we have the fullest and

ores, together with a descriptive list
showing location ef mine, character of
ore, preparations, etc., and a circular
also to the mill and timber men that
they furnish samples of wood. These
should be ready by the first of June.”
I)o you not intend to include the rail'
roads?
“Most certainly, but a circular ad
dressed to the railroad manages at this
time would, in all probability, he laid
aside and forgotten; but later, if the mat
ter were represented to them in person, I
have no doubt that the railroad manage
mentsof Georgia would respond last. as

They can show the mineral and forest
resources of Georgia, not only to New
England, but to the world, and they
will not be tardy in doing so.”
“Do I undestand you to propose to
send a special agent to represent this
matter to the railroad authorities?”
“No, that can be done from this He
partment;*but we hope that the Lcgisla

an expert, that our minerals may be

is a matter of great importance and if
negleted, may rob the finest mineral ex¬

What do yon think will be the ex¬

and give them proper time, I think
they will respond in such a way as will

essary appropriation. These are Gov
enor Stephens’ views and they are mine.”
A Uoitianlic Case.
A sensational and romantic case has
been brought to light on the issuing ol
a warrant by Gov. Stephens on the requi
sition of the Govcnor of South Carolina
for the arrest of H. G. Porto. About
twclvo years ago Porte moved from
Marion county, S. C„ and settled near
Palmetto, in this State. Ho was accom
panied his’wife, by a woman who was boys supposed
to be and by two proved presum- lie
ed to be their children, tie to
a man of industry, and won the good
opinion of his neighbors, who refused
to beileve in his guilt when the sheriff
with a warrant for his arrest on a charge
of kidnapping mid obtaining money taken
under lal-c pretenses. Porte was
to Kairburn, where, without reserve, he

The Southern Cultivator for February.
We gladly welcome the February
number of this old and popular journal,
We are not surprised at the universal
favor with which it is received. It is
full of practical information on the va¬
rious details of agriculture and kindred
subjects, including the Dairy, Live Stock,
etc, etc. The table of contents indicates
a ricli treat to its readers which will be
realized in (nil measure.
The clear and able leader “Thoughts
for the Month” by Dr. Jones, is worthy
to be regarded by the farmers of the
South as a sure rule of success. The In¬
quiry Department” by tiie same expe¬
rienced writer is replete with interest
and reliable information, given in res¬
ponse to tbe published questions. The
knowledge gained from this Department
of the journal, alotre, will be worth
vastly Every more than its subscription price.
question and answer brings some
fact to view which is important.
We arc much pleased with a new
feature of this journal which consist of
brief exposition of Supreme Court de¬
cisions, of die various States, affecting
questions that relate to the rights and
the duties ot the agricultural class. As
this feature will be continued, from
month to month, the farmers will learn
enough of law for his own protection,
and many may be saved the expense
and annoyance of profitless litigation
through this instrumentality.
Although this journal already excels
any publication of its class in theSouth,
the proprietors are determined that it
shall be advanced to a still higher de¬
gree of excellence. In the March number
will appear the first of a series of arti¬
cle from Mr. David Dickson, who,
many years successful ago, proved himself the
South, most and agriculturist readers of the
gave the of the Cul¬
tivator the benefit of his system and
methods. The benefit derived from his
writting then was incalculable. His ad¬
mirable letters will ho revised, rewritten
and will embrace his present views.
Tire series will run through twelve
numbers of tire cultivator, ami will em
brace every detail of information which
underlies the successful culture of the
soil. All who know the reputation of
Mr. Dickson will appreciate the value
of liis contribiilionsand shoulds ubscribo,
protnply, for the journal through which
he has consented to communicate his
views to the people.
Each number of the cultivator will
contain essays, from the pens of learned
and experience Agriculturists, Horticul¬
turist, Dairyman, Raisers of Improved
Live Stock, of Bees, etc., etc., from all
sections of the South and Soutwest.
Thecflbrts of the publishers to give the
journal Southern farmers an agricultural should bo

There is something peculiar idea to a man, that

buy anything would that can expected on

have something of the kind to sell. It
really cost a tanner not less than five
times as much to buy corn as it does to
raise it, and yet a majority of them
think it cheaper to raise cotton to buy
it with, when really they don’t clear
themselves on the cotton they do raise,
No farmer can make anything oil cotton
in this section, at tan cents a pound, ex
eept as surplus crop. He will not save
on it, even as a surplus crop, more than
his labor.
Last year s crop of cotton was the
largest that has ever been produced,

likely to be permanent, has left this
whole country on the verge ot bankrupt

the merchants in various parts of the
