To Dyspeptics.
The most common signs of Dyspepsia, or
Indigestion, are nil oppression at tho
stomach, nausea, flatulency, water-brash,
heart-burn, vomiting, loss of appetite, and
constipation. Dyspeptic patients sulfcr un¬
told miserios, bodily and mental. They
should stimulate tho digestion, and secure
regular daily action of tho bowels, by tho
nse of moderate doses of
Ayer’s Pills.
After tho bowels aro regulated, one of these
Pills, taken each day after dinner, is usually
all that is required to complete the cure.
Ayer’s Pills are sugar-coated and purely
vegetable—-a pleasant, entirely safe, and re¬
liable medicine for the cure of all disorders
of the stomach and bowels. They aro
tho best of all purgatives for family uso.

COUNTY CURRENCY.
COMMENTS CONCERNING COUNTY
CARELESSLY CULLED.
Passing Thonelits of The Echo's I.onf
er About Itinerant railin'.of no Ureot
Importance.
We want more people, more manufact¬
uring industries, more public spirit and
enterprise. The world is progressive and
to keep pace with the times we must be
up and doing. Let each citizen encour¬
age in every way, all new enterprises
which tend to build up the county, and
benefit all the people alike.
That scare given the road commis¬
sioners a year or more ago seems to have
lost its effect. Oui highways are sadly
neglected, and in most places in wretch¬
ed condition*. The last was nothing
more than a scare, but if somebody don’t
mind they will be scared and fined too.
Better do a full duty always that the law
puts upon you.
Our doctors are expecting an unusual
amount of spring sickness this season,
caused by the large amount of bad weath¬
er and number of colds now. We half¬
way believe they are right, and advise a
judicious amount of sasatras tea and dog¬
wood hitters being taken. These reme¬
dies cured spring fever in olden times
and why not now.
An increased number of small tene¬
ment houses’ure seen go ng up through¬
out the county. What this betokens wo
cannot say with certainty. It may be
that the old ones got past habitation, or
it may be that our farmers and landown¬
ers are thusiy ridding themselves of their
surplus wealth. We are rather inclined
to the former cause.
We are glad to note f.n ...creased in¬
terest in schools throughout tho county.
From almost every locality comes reports
of good schools with better attendance
than in years past. Right. An educa¬
ted people are an enlightened, prosper
ous, progres-ive people, and the best
place to get a start towards education is
at a country or village school.
Everybody in this county seems to
have started 1885 with tho determination
of making it one of prosperity. Every
energy is bent towards economy and
thrift, and should higher powers see fit
to visit us with general blessings 1885
will find us better off than at present.
But these good resolutions may give out
and we may be found worse off. Hope
not.
Blessed is ho who has no money to
invest, for he can’t lose it in defaulting
banks. We are sorry for those of our
county who have recently lost by failures
of banks and other institutions. Tho
trouble is, there are so few of us who can
feelingly sympathize with them. Only
we editors can, who are all bloated bond
holders and coupon clippers—over the
left.
We have never heard ns little com
plaint of scarcity of labor as has been
this winter. There seems to he plenty
and to spare in this county, while Home
of our neighbors are compelled to curtail
their farming and other plans because
they cannot get hands. Do we pay bet
ter or treat better ? Or why is it we do
not suffer as others, or as we have in the
past ?
That security and limit plan started
by onr merchants this year does not seem
to set well with many of the credit buy¬
ers in this county. Its just this wav : A
man who intends to pay a debt don’t
mind being bound with security of any
kind, and he who don’t intend to pay
ought to be bound. The limit part of
the business does not seem to be so ob¬
noxious.
We see that rich silver mines are be
ing discovered in other parts of the South
and of Georgia. Wonder couldn’t some
prospector be induced to examine into

see numbers of them buying a year’s sup¬
ply of provisions now and hauling them
home, it’s no bad idea. There is oidy
one draw-back to the plan. With us
when we have a good deal of anything
we use or destroy a good deal, and when
when we have but little it takes but little
to do us. But then we will not suppose
that everybody is like us. If so, what a
glorious(?) country this would he. Ev¬
erybody would be getting out the best
paper in the State. Ah 1
Wonder if in some way the only
mountain within the borders of our coun¬
ty can’t be found to be a solid mass of
silver with a few diamonds scattered
among it to stimulate the miners. Up
in North Georgia they are finding moun¬
tains thusiy built—of solid silver. Why
shouldn’t we do likewise with ours? Let’s
try ; maybe we can do better with silver
and diamonds than wo did with gold.
If not, let's don't try.
There are one or two farmers in this
county who, when other farmers are stir¬
ring around seeing were their credit is
good for a few pounds of pork, are stir¬
ring around to see who has the money to
pay for a few pounds. This year they
will have more than common, hut we
predict that they will likewise have more
trouble in finding the hover with the
money. They are always “solid,” how¬
ever, for it will keep.
A preacher remarked in our pres¬
ence the oilier day that Oglethorpe conn
ty, and especially Lexington, was cer¬
tainly hardened in sin. That it had been
several years since lie had known of more
than one or two revivals among our peo¬
ple, and they were not very largo ones,
lie was right. There does seem to be a
considerable religious coolness with the
citizens of this county. But somebody
else besides ministers will have to give
reasons for it.
The guano season is fully upon us,
and the question is, whether onr planters
will buy it as recklessly as heretofore.
They have had ample time this winter
to gather up and prepare home manures.
Whether they have did it or not wo are
not prepared to say. If they haven’t
they are to be blamed for a shameful
negligence and idleness. Crops were out
earlier than usual, there was but very
little fencing to bo dono and plenty of
idle hands.
Foreign States seem to agree with
Ogletherpe hoys. We know of a dozen
nr more young men who have left this
county to keep from starving who are
now doing well and making money in
other States. They are scattered all over
the South, and a few in the North and
West. It may be that the change o! wa¬
ter agrees with them and infuses energy
into their systems, flood luck to you,
bovs, we rejoice at your prosperity, while
you continue to take the Echo.
While so many of our farmers are
giving their attention to the raising of
fine horses why don’t tiiey divide tho
matter and raise a few mules? It seems
to us there would be equally as much, if
not more, pay in raising the latter It is
a well-known fact that a home-bred mule
can stand more hardslupi and hard work
than an imported one, and the kicking
propensities of a Georgia mule ain’t near
what it is cracked up to be. He’s as
clever about kicking as any of them.
A tide of Northern capital is reported
as coming this way to be invested in fac¬
tories and such like in the South. Won
der if Oglethorpe county can't manage
some way to direct its footsteps towards
the magnificent water powers and other
advantages within our borders. In this
lino we have as many inducement* as
any county in any State in the South.
We only like enterprise to bring them
before the public’s eye. Some day they
will be found out, but too late to make
the present owners rich, we fear.

The Southern Bonanza.
Cottonseed is the Southern bonanza.
There are three and a half pounds of the
seed to every pound of tibre. More than
4,000,000 tons are produced annually,
but notwithstanding the rapid increase
in tire number of mills, only about 10
per cent, of the seed is crushed, the rest
being largely thrown away. A ton of
seed yields So gallons of oil, 22 pounds used
of cotton and 150 pounds The value of cake of these
for fattening cattle. largely used
products is §10. The oil is
lor making find soaps, and when refined
properly can hardly be distinguished superseding
from olive oil, which it is
for many purposes. The hull ot the
seed constitutes about one half its hulk,
and it is lottnd that the hulls supply Not fuel
sufficient to operate the mills. a
pound of coal is needed. After the
burning the ashes are highly valued as a
fertilizer. The oil is also easily convert
ible into glycerene, ns has been demon¬
strated by actual" manufacture, though it
has not been followed up to any great
extent. Taken all in all, there arc few
raw materials which work up more close¬
ly and profitably than cotton seed. Its
manufactured products now reach&8,000,
000 annually, being about double what
they were four years ago. •
A Long Missing Father.
A special correspondent of the Atlan¬
ta Constitution, writing from Dahlonega,
Ga., gives the following: In 1804or ’05
a citizen of this county, whose name wo
prefer not to mention now, left his wife
and six small children, and, so far as is
known, without the and slightest children provoca¬
tion. This woman her were
left so destitute that they had to depend
for awhile upon the charities of friends
and neighbors for the bare necessities of
life—tho woman plowing, doing all herself man¬
ner of man’s work, and exposing
to winter’s cold and summer’s heat to
keep gaunt hunger from her door till her
little children could died grow largo enough
to help her. She two years ago af¬
ter undergoing nearly twenty years of
privation and hardship, a physical wreck. and
The man went to Ohio, it seems,
there married another wife and soon had
another large family growing up around
him. To the surprise of all he arrived
in our town one day last week, accompa¬
nied by a grown son by tho Ohio wife,
compelled, l presume, by a desire to see
his offspring here and his father, who
still lives in this county, an honest,
straightforward his old who man. two old
One of sons, was years
when deserted by this unnatural father,
but now a man and married, happened
to bo in town the day his father came in.
And while doing some trading had known around hi*
town, an old citizen who

saw your father in town this evening.”
lie could hard'y believe it, hut the young
man, who remembered nothing of of his
father, and had only heard from him in¬
directly during all these years, torn by
conflicting emotions, which can better ho
imagined than described, went to see if
really his father was in town. He found
him at one of the hotels. The father
seemed very glad to see the boy whom
lie had left in his mother’s lap. It is
said that tho father has accumulated
good property, and it is to be honed that
he will try to make all the amends possi¬
ble for his unnatural treatment of hi*
wife and children by doing all in his
power for the comfort and welfare of hi*
children. The poor deserted wife was
not spared to witness such r. * i tut ion.
The meeting of father and son under
such circumstances us these makes a pe¬
culiarly strange incident indeed. We do
not desire to do injustice to the old man,
and will say here that wo obtained our
information from the son here spoken of.

From Farm to City.
To live in a city seems to bo the chief
aim of the average young man of to-day,
and there are many who go from villages
and farms, without any definite idea as
to what their future course will he. The
tendency to fast living is too great for the
good of tho people and the country.
It is true the city offers many induce¬
ments to the young man who is possess¬
ed of a large capital of business sense,
industry, enterprise and perseverance,
but there is also many pitfalls The along the
path that ho must travel. tempta
ti ms are many. Unwary feel walk into
quagmires of extravagance, debauchery
aud sin.
Tho young man who has withiin him¬
self the elements of success, will win a
competency and master success any¬
where, be it on farm or in a city. The
cities are filled to overflowing and with young farms
men seeking situations, many
are deserted. The work necessary to
gain a living in a city is greater than on
a farm, though it irmy independence not appeir so that me- is
nial. Yet the true
the success!til farmer's inheritance is
never gained by the denizens of the
crowed city. More than a competency
may be gained by persistent and intelli¬
gent devotion to business, vet tho de¬
mands of the ever-moving, restless throng
