THE ECHO, LEXINGTON, GA.; WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER. 3, 1897. ^ w ® 0 CENTS' FURNISHINGS. An October Without Frost. The month just gone is phenomenal in that it was an October without frost. In this latitude such has never before been the case within the memory of the oldest citizen. The mouth was al¬ so notable for its few cloudy or rainy days, there being but three or four days in which the gathering of crops was hindered. -- Surely Growing Better. Surely the world is growing better. We had a gentleman call upon us Mon¬ day to ascertain if he was due any sub¬ scription upon his paper which was stopped twenty-three years ago. This gives us hope. If a delinquent of that long standing comes to settle up his dues we have reason to be more hope¬ ful of some of those of more recent date. He sets an example for others to follow. --- Corrections in Court Proceedings. In some of those unaccountable ways tvvo errors occurred in the account of the proceedings of court which we pub¬ lished a week ago. First, Mrs. Lizzie Hush obtained first verdict for divorce from Geo. W. Rush instead of vice versa as it appeared. Second, the suit of O. F. McRee against N. D. Arnold was dismissed at cost of plaintiff will in¬ stead defendant as stated. Errors occur in the best regulated newspaper offices as well as elsewhere. ---— Yesterday's Sales. Only two bodies of land were sold here yesterday. One of these was the G. W. and G. II. Mattox lands consist¬ ing of 1,707 acres, which was divided into eight lots and bought by Mr. I. 0. VanDuzer, of Elberton, for the heirs for $13,150. The other was the J. J. Lumpkin place, situated near Sa¬ lem, containing 140 acres and was bought by Mr. W. M. Hawkins for $1,545. Both these bodies were sold by the administrators for division among the heirs. Stoves and Tinware. Mr. C. J. O’farrell, who for many years sold stoves and tinware to our people, but who for the past four years was the efficient postmaster in Athens, has returned to his first love as will be seen by his advertisement on the oppo¬ site page. He can be found at the old stand of E. E. Jones with a most com¬ plete line of stoves, ranges, tinware, and housefurnishing goods and he most cordially invites his former pa¬ trons to call and see him, promising the same fair dealing that characteriz¬ ed him when in the business before. The people of this section will gladly resume business relations with him. - Dr. Carswell to Lecture. One of the rarest religious, literary and historical treats this community has ever had is in store for our consented people tonight. Dr. Carswell has to give at the Baptist church his lect¬ ure on the “Lost ten tribes of Israel” which has given him more than State¬ wide reputation, Those who have heard this lecture say it shows such a vast amount of study and research into ancient and biblical history as it is hard to realize can be made by one mind. It will be sure to interest, en¬ tertain and instruei ail bearers regard¬ less of belief or sect. The small ad¬ mission fee of 25 cents will be charged. The Meetings at the Baptist Church. Drs. E. R. Carswell and A. E. Keese began Sunday morning the series of meetings at the Baptist church an¬ nounced in our last issue. They will at least coutinue through this week and longer if deemed advisable. Good congregations have attended the ser¬ vices, both morning and night, not withstanding the threatening and rn clement weather for part of the time, and all have been regaled and greatly benetitted by the forceful sermons by Dr. Carswell. There had been no pro IS festing internet in tbei, ,oul,' eal.a ion. To Adminstrators, etc. T . „ .

Among other business transacted they decided to plaster the parsonage and it was found that it would require at least $25.00 to do it. Each church was assessed $5.00 tor this purpose. At the suggestion of one of the young la¬ dies present, it was decided to get the the young people in the neighborhood, regardless of denominations, to pick cotton one day and try to raise the nec¬ essary amount. So on Saturday morn¬ ing a good crowd of boys ami girls re¬ paired to the cotton Held of Mr. Joua than Bryan and such a time as they had.
