The dentists begin with Dr. Col- tier, who has lived and practiced hla profession in Echols county for many years. Dr. Collier bar had more gre ats* fnn. and enjoyed It better than any other man who ever lived In the county. He once represented the coun ty ta the legislature. He Is too wen know* for ms to add ahythlng Inter . csttng to to short e notice. t. As a dental student L. A. Car ter wan the tecond student to tabs dentistry in Rebols County. Ho will \ be referred to again ln the list of physicians, S. Dixie Roberts waa number three of the dental etndente. He •ladled dntlstry and graduated ta ItM, with a high standing In hi* lug from the lecture room directly to Woodvllle Texas, where he has grown to be very wealthy and one of the most prominent physlolana ot all Texas. ■ ■■■■'• 1 Ind. Willie Staten made tho Sec ond medical student from Hohola. When he graduated he went to Jas per, Fla., where he soon built up a large practice. Dr. State iv like many other physicians, eoon wreck ed hie health, which sent him to a premature grave. Dr. Staten waa an exceptionally good physician, a man of sympathy, who sacrificed hla own life that others might live. 3rd. Medical atndent number three from Echols was Elbert Smith. After graduating Dr. Smith located at Javper, Fla., where he practiced his profession for several years, and th-n moved to Waycrnea. !j>t-r, I am told, he purchased a farm tn the country, bull! himself a nice home, turned his attention to in tensive farming and raising stock, which he has mads a complete suc cess of. 4th. Number four of tha medical students was Ben Morgen, who graduated In medicine, but later took law, as already referred to under the notice ot lawyers. 5th. To this number answers Co lumbus Carter. Ho attended lecture* end graduated In medicine tn Ang. In the esrly 80’s. Dr. Carter located at whet wae first ceiled Long Pond, later changed to Lake Park. Hart work and close attention to bis pro fession soon bnlit ap s very largo practice (lor Dr. Carter, the man who did more" work then two stronger men, and who did more than he should have done. Dr. Carter was a man ot energy end Interpriee. The beantttnl home ho built, with all its convenience ahown how tastefully enterprising he was. He never knew how to TStnee the sick.

After he graduated In medicine he located near Hamilton P. O. In Ham ilton county, Florida. Dr. Smith found It very profitable for the short time he remained there; he soon left and went to Waycrose, where he has boon successful In hla huslnssa af fairs and ls highly esteemed by his associates, both personally and pro- feasslonally. 10. We are now to Jesse P. Pres cott on tho list of medical men from Echols, who graduated ln 1890 from the old Atlanta-school. He was a very hard student. Jess waa taken nick' before the final examination waa completed, and. ~ 1 ' * before ’’old” that Jeae t i room •ago: “Toung worry about gra&fflRlng, t wfil too that you get your diploids." ■ This was Indeed a relief to a sfcfk boy In such a trying time. Several other students about that time would have been, willing for most any kind of a sick spell. Dr. Prescott first located noar Brunswick for a time, but later he came back fo Lako Park, where he has been successful in business and ln his profession. 11. Tho eleventh student—John F. Hall—Is the writer, graduated In medicine In the class of 1899 from the Old Atlanta Medical Collegi; re turned home to fall In bed sick with a case of typhoid t.ver. Whenj able to work I located In Hamilton Coun ty, Florida, noar Hamilton P. O.

Forrest Johnson Is the rltory reached from Jasper, north to Douglas, In Coffee county, and from lhe Suwanee river east, to 6 or 8 mlleB of Valdosta, not so now. Echo's only needs an up-to-date literary school with a good system of public schools to make her one of the host counties In- Georgia. The people here are amply able to have them. Let some one get a start on this question, the rest will follow. I know these people, and I know they would gladly respond to such hn important mat ter. I am the first student that car ried a literary diploma to Echols county. My friend Gordon Cranford, was the second.
