It is Absurd
For people to expect a cure for Indiges¬
tion, unless they refrain from eating
what is unwholesome ; but if anything
will sharpen the appetite and give tone
to the digestive organs, it is Ayer’s Sar.
saparilla. Thousands all over the land
testify to the merits of this medicine.
Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth
street, South Boston, writes : “ My hus¬
band has taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, for
Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has
been greatly benefited.”
A Confirmed Dyspeptic.
C. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st.,
Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering
for years from Indigestion, lie was at
last induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured.
Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street,
Holyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by
physicians, nor any of the remedies
advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia,
helped her, until she commenced the
use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. “Three
bottles of tliis medicine,” she writes,
“cured me.”

THE OGLETHORPE ECHO: LEXING TOY, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1890.
A DAY IN LEXINGTON.
And \\ lint Fditor Gautt Saw While Spend*
in«r it to Write About.
On last Sunday we paid onr first vis¬
it to Lexington since the new railroad
to that town was built, and were sur¬
prised and delighted to see the progress
and improvement made in this historic
old place. Gen. Toombs remarked
long ago, while in one of his satrical
humors, that Lexinm on was the only
finished town in the United States, for
there bad not been a nail driven there
in twenty years, but could the ghost
of this old statesman to dav revisit the
site of this prophecy, he would open
his eyes with wonder-for if Lexington
was ever a dead town it has certainly
been resurrected and new life and
blood infused into the inanimate
corpse. Within the last
few months Lexing
to p lias gone to work and built one of
a railroads in the South,
is three} miles in length, is equipped
with new steel rails and has a perfect
little gem of a passenger coach. It
makes the ruu in less than ten minutes,
and the train glides along as if on ice.
Conductor Tom Arnold is in charge of
the train—one of the cleverest fellows
in the world. He is a natural wit, and
has a name for every stopping place on
the line. He has christened Mr. L. M.
Johnson’s ‘•Damages,” from the fact
that this gentleman demands §3,000
for a right of way in front of liishouse,
The Lexington Terminal is the only
road in the country that has a church
of its own, having bought the Crawford, old Bap
llst teni Pl e °f worship that will ill take
It impresses us it more
than one church to save the President
of that road. The people their of railway, Lexington and
are justly proud of
well they have cause to be, for it was
cer fainly a great piece of enterprise,
The citizens turn out en masse tore
ceive everv train and welcome the pas
sengers to* their hospitable town. In
f ac t w hen the census enumerator comes
around, all lie will have to do is get the
engineer to give a few toots on his
whistle, and he can take a list of the
inhabitants from the depot platform.
Mr. Hamilton McWhorter, President
of this road, tells us that its business
is beyond their most sanguine expeeta
tion. Christmas week ilic passenger
fares amounted to #150, and that sum
was returned, too, without making Con
ductor Arnold turn his pockets wrong
out every nigh It estimated
that the receipts of th road from this
source alone, the first year will aggre
gate $2,500. The freight business is also
verv large. P Lexington ° is now the ship
nt for not nly that fine conn
try to the south and east, but Centre
ville and other places in Wilkes comity,
have their goods sent there. In fact
merchants within ten miles of Elberton
this side of the river, haul their freight
from Lexington. This road costs only
$0 per day to operate, will pay all ex
penses, aiid return a dividend to the
stockholders. We asked President Me
Whorter what the road cost, and lie re
plied $25,000. We waited about three
hours and repeated the conundrum,
and was answered $30,000. Just as the
train w 7 as leaving we shot the same
question into him again, and the reply
came $35,000. drawback the growth of
One great to
Lexington has been that a large land, part
of the town is built on leased

tee c ai Simple nl nle title* line could count not not be in, had nau, and
people were naturally loth to improve
that liy consent of the court this land
can be sold and a fee simple title given.
rp| ic j s now in court, and so soon
as j_| le decision is rendered, these school
lands will be cut up into lots and im
. proved. Lexington will then take on
j a jjjor boom. Already several new lion
ses are under contract Dr. Faust will

Wm M nowar(1 an q others, Mr. G.
AV. Brooks will erect another stoic on
the public square, and a stock compa

j j and guano factory arc contemplated,
j besides numerous other enterprises.

Enterprising but people they in have the South always than la¬
abide here,
bored under disadvantage of being off
from the line of railroad. Already
them has been a wonderful improve- and
meat iu the business of the place,
the present year the merchants expect
to double or tVribble their sales. Al
ready farmers are trading there who
never before did business in Lexington, of
Another drawback to tlie business
the town was the almost impassable
highways leading into it. But the en
terprising citizens have gone to work
and are having new roadssurveyed and
located on better ground. The
ton road—one of the most broken in
the county—has been thus improved
| so that a locomotive can travel it: and
all the other arteries ot trade will be
Putin similar condition. This will
greatly improve the business of the
! place. of the oldest towns

1 Before the days of railroads, Lexing-
ton was the most important trading
point in this section of the State, and
the people of Athens would go there
to purchase fine goods. The largest
stores and best stocks were in hexing
ton, while our own city was an insig- the
niiicant little county town. But
buildtng of 4he Athens branch railway
sounded the death knell to the progress
of the place. In those days, homo as well des
as now, there were a genus °
itrnamtl ^ 1 “old initon?‘ fn^ips ’They and tliis rhw
L e X contended
.into voilwov would hrim. inm ihc
town small pox, cholera, and all the
ills that llesli is heir to. besides putting
oil them an undesirable class ofeiti
zens. thus destroying the refinement
of the place. These croakers succeeded
in carrying the railroad around their
town, and also in effectually killing it
until the present generation came to
its rescue by building the Lexington
Terminal. A few years ago property
could be bought for a mere song in
Lexington and we have seen nice hou
ses and large lots sell for from SHOO to
$(‘>00. But a great change has now
taken place in values, and the railroad
has several times paid for itself in in
creasing 1 lie price of town property.
Last year Mr. Sims tried to get SSOO for
the residence now occupied by Col.
Taylor. The other dav lie refused SL
000 for it, and it is not thought twice
that sum will buy the property.
To Mr. Hamilton McWhorter does
not only Lexington but Oglethorpe
county in a large measure owe their
present prosperity, lie is one of the
most enterprising men we ever knew,
and makes a success of whatever lie un
dertakes. He gave liis people the stock
law, was and responsible liis efforts for the new than court
house, thing else do to they their more any- rail
owe new
road. What Ilenry Grady McWhorter has been been to
Atlanta lias Hamilton
to Lexington and liis county. of The this pen
pie appreciate the services gen
tlcman, too, and there is not a more
universally popular man in the State.
It is reported that Mr. McWhorter will
be a candidate for Judge of the North
ern Circuit at the expiration of Judge
Lumpkin’s term, who will not offer for
re-election, it is said. He will certain
ly grace the bench, and reflect credit
and honor both upon his State and him
self. We believe that if this gentleman
consents to make the race that there
will be no opposition. He is one of the
ablest and most successful lawyers in
the State, and although ,a young man,
ranks at the head of the bar.
There is some political talk in Ogle
thorpe county, but nothing has been as
yet definitely settled on. For the Leg
islaturc the names of Mr. G. W. Smith,
Co!. A. F. Pope, Mr. Geo. B. Lump
kin and Mr. John IV. Moody gentlemen are men
tioned, but announced none of these their caudida
have as yet
cy. It will be Oglethorpe’s time this
year to name the State Senator, and it
is reported that Hon. C. M. Witcher
and lion. J. T. Olive will be in the
arena.
The democrats of Oglethorpe are de
termined on hereafter holding primary all
elections for the nomination of ean
didates, and let the white voters decide
the tickets among themselves. This is
certainly a wise and timely step, and
we hope it will be adopted. Lexington
Our day among our old
friends was one of the most delightful
ever spent, anti we hope soon to repeat
the visit. • •
