T. A. Slocum. M. C , the Great Chemist
and Scientist, Will Send Free, to the
Afflicted, Three Bottles of Bis
Newly Discovered Remedies
to Cure Consumption
and All Lung Trou
bles.
Nothing can be fain r, more phil
anthropic or carry more joy to the af
flicted, than the offer of T. A. Slocum,
M. C., of 183 Pear! street, New Ycuk
City.
Confident that he has discovered
an absolute cure U r consumption and
all pulmonary complaints, and to make
its great merits knowD, he will send
free, three bottles of medicine, to auy
reader of The Jackson Herald who
is suffering from chest, bronchia!,
throat and lung troubles or eonsump
tion.
Already this “new scientific course
of medicine” has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless
case3.
The Doctor considers it his relig
ious duty—a duty which ho owes to
humanity—to denote his infaliiable
cure.
Offered freely, is enough to com
mend it, and more bo is the perfect
confidence of the great chemist mak
ing the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded con
sumption to baa curable disease be
yond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
—the mistake will be in overlooking
the gen* r :us invitation. He has on
file in his American and European
laboratories testimonials of experience
from those cured, in all parts of the
world.

W. F. HEAD, T.C. J.C.
YOEMAX IN JACKSON COUNTY.
What He Saw That Will Interest
Readers of the Echo.
Editor Echo:—l propose to com
ply with my promise, and, by way of
preface, will say that there is not a
more genial traveling companion than
Mr. John W. Bacon. His acquaint
ance with the people, the roads, and
especially the hospitable homes in
the counties between here and the
Blue Ridge mountains, rendered him
the more acceptable.
We spent a few hours in Athens
and spent the night with our friend,
Mr. F. T. Berry, who left our county
two years ago, and who, after spend
ing one year in Clarke county,moved
into Jackson. He has been rewarded
for his toil this year by a fair yield,
but the low price of cotton and a
money rental will make his profit
short. His hay crop will, however.
help him out, he being only six
miles from Athens, finds ready sale
for that and other farm products. He
has some as fine cotton as I ever saw
on the Brasos bottoms in Texas. Ii
is a large bowl variety, forty of which
will make a pound, and several acres
will average more than a bale to the
acre.
After spending the night very
pleasantly, indeed, we left for Har
mony Grove. I have passed through
that bustling little city several times
dh the railroad, but I have not seen
the place except from a car window
for twenty-five years, and oh, how
changed! From a straggling little
village it has grown to be a neat and
compactly built city. As evidence
of the amount of business done I was
informed that Mr. Powers alone
bought 275 bales of cotton off wag
ons the day before. The guano
debts are the hardest on the small
farmers of Jackson and Banks coun
ties, for most of them raise their own
hogs and hominy. That, of course,
is indispensable to success, even if
cotton brought a better price. I re
gretted that I could not remain long
enough to inspect the factoy and
other enterprises built up with home
capital and operated successfully.
On reaching Maysville, we found
that Mr. Charley Bacon and wife
had given a dining to a friend, Mrs.
Woodin, who was to leave for At
anta on the train that evening, and,
while not in time to enjoy the social
part, we had a most excellent din
ner. I made many pleabant ac
quaintances, among them Mrs.
Charley Bacon, father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. Moore; also the parents
of our friend, Tom Moore, of Win
terville. I spent the evening in look
ing around the town. The „ chair
factory is quite an important indus
try. Being near an abundant sup
ply of timber, with their machinery
they turn out good substantial chairs
at a rapid rate. My old friend,Hon.
Geo. E. Deadwyler, was in town and
claimed me for the night, as I had a
promise of long standing. I say
Honorable, for he represented his
district in the State Senate when
ion or and probity had more weight
in elections than in this day. Since
political preferment has become
largely the reward of political fer
fidy, he has dropped out of politics
and devotes his time and attention
to the most important and honorable
of all vocations, farming. The place
on which he now lives, two miles
from town, he bought several years
ago in partnership with another gen
tleman, who ran it without profit.
After buying him out the first year
there was only six bales of cotton
made on the place, with only a
meager supply of other farm pro
ducts. Last year he made 132 bales
of cotton, an abundant supply of corn
and several hundred bushels of
wheat. Mr. D. used to raise a great
many horses, but he has charged to
cattle, finding it more profitable.
He has experimented with forage
plants and has sodded in Bermuda
grass land that seldom failed
to make a bale of cotton to
the acre; that is for glazing.
He has introduced from Florida what
is known as the velvet bean, which,
to use Clerk Lester’s expression,
“takeß the dilapidated linen off the
shrubbery.” The pods will not ma
ture in this climate, but any one who
wishes to obtain seed can find out by
writing to him. He filled his silos
with it and had a large pile under a
shelter which he was feeding to his
horses and cattle for several weeks.
The horse he drove had eaten noth
ing else, and was in fine condition.
It would tax the credulity of your
readers were I to attempt to describe
its luxuriant growth. I clipped a
small cluster of pods from a vine in
his orchard, where the land was thin,
eighteen in number. He has not
tested it sufficiently as a forage
plant, but thinks he will like it, not
only for ensilage, but as a pulverizer
and fertilizer of the soil. It is a rare
treat to ride over Mr. Deadwyler’s
farm and see what the intensive sys
tem has accomplished. Though
mnch of the land is hilly, there are
no washes. He alternates between
the terraces, sowing down and culti
vating. The steep hill-sides he has
in orchard grass for pasture. He
has some negroes on his farms who
have been with him thirty years, and
seem contented. I spent a whole
forenoon riding over his farms, and
was perfectly delighted, and would
advise others to pattern after him.
I returned to Maysville late in the
evening and spent the night with
Mr. Bacon. I interviewed Mr.
Phillips the next morning. He is
domiciled a mile from town, lives at
home and boards at the same house.
Outside of his taxes, he owes not a
cent, and can pay that at any time.
He will have fifteen bales of cotton
from his two-horse farm, and an
abundant supply of corn, wheat, oats,
peas and potatoes, all his own.
Would that we had more such, and
why not? Credit and too much
cotton.
I had a pleasant time with rela
tives near Dry Pond, and with re
gret terminated my pleasant visit to
Jackson county by boarding the
train at Harmony Grove Saturday
morning.
Much of the laud on the North
eastern railroad twenty-five years
ago would not make a bale of cotton
to three acres, now produce a bale
to the acre. Sowing peas and turn
ing under the vines with the two
dorse steel plows has accomplished
the result. In the town of Maysville
Mr. Laymaster began with four
acres aud this year has increased it
to six, from which he will make over
3,000 pounds of lint cotton, and made
last year thirteen bushels of wheat
to the acre, though not a favorable
wheat year.
Oglethorpe farmers, try intensive
farming on a small scale. “What
others do, why with patience should
not you?” Turn over anew leaf, and
try to save something from the
wreck of this year’s farming opera
tions—honor, if nothing else—that
will prove valuable in your future
operations. Surrender what you
make to your creditors, and throw
yourselves on their generosity. “Pay
what thou owest” is a sacred obliga
tion. If not all, do the best you can.
—Yeoman, in Oglethorpe Echo.
bain Jons Takes a Hand.
There is a heated prohibition cam
paign being waged in Macon, and
the election occurs December Ist.
Rev. Sam Jones is taking a hand in
the fight, and on last Sunday week
he opened the ball in a red-hot ser
mon to “men only” in a big circus
tent. Here are a few of his sayings:
“Here, you little narrow-eyed, pig
eon-toed, box-ankled, poodle-head
thing, what do you mean when you
tell me it ain’t my business and your
business when anybody drinks? You
are so little that when you die they
won’t have to bury you, for there
won’t be enough of you to stink.
“Anything that curses my wife, my
child, my mother, my home and my
country is my business, and thank
God for it, too, that I know it’s my
business.
“Yes, and some of you little scoun
drels will say: ‘Sam Jones, you don’t
live in Macon, and ain’t in this fight.’
“No, I don’t live in Macon, and I
thank God I don’t. If the devil
finds out you Macon people ain’t got
what he wants you order it for him.
The only difference between Macon
and hell is tlatthere are some good
people m Mocon and you’ve got a
river down here, and hell aint got
either.
“The devil gets anythinghe wants
here by a two-thirds majority. Now
ain’t that so? If a man should run
for mayor of Macon with the ten
commandments as his platform and
another man should run with Ma
con’s past history and record as his
platform he would win two to one
over the good man.
“And you little dog prohibitionists
out there in front of me. You are
running with your tail between your
legs. Curl your tail over your back,
hold your head up and be a man. I’d
rather cut my tail off than to be run
ning around with it between my
legs.
“And you little flop-earned hound,
what’er you want to cuss for, any
how ? Yon dirty-mouthed dog. If
you want to get cured of cussing just
go home and get your wife and your
mother to cuss some. That’ll cure
you—that’ll puke a dog.
“I know a man who used to cuss all
the time. He would go home and cuss
everything and everybody. One day
he went home and dinner wasn’t
ready.
“ ‘Ain’t that damned dinner ready
yet?’ he roared at his wife.
“Poor woman—martyr, too, she
went into the kitchen and soon re
turned.
“ ‘No, the damned dinner ain’t
ready,’ she said, ‘the fire’s gone to
hell, and damnation is to pay.’
“The man was dumfounded; but it
cured, him, and he ain’t cussed a
cuss since.
“Oh, you old cusser from Cueser
ville You are rotten. Why, you
say you cuss and don’t even know
it. Now here, when you feel a cuss
ing spell coming on take to the
woods. Yes, take to the woods and
don’t stop until you find a hollow
tree. Get in the tree and cuss up
the hollow, but don’t let anybody
hear you. *
“I want a cussing carr on the rail
roads. We’ve got a baggage car
aud a mail car and an express car
and a sleeping car, but I want a cus
sing car on every railroad so they
can run you black-mouthed cussing
dogs into it for the protection of the
decent people.”

Mrs. Fannie Wood, wife of J. W.
Wood, was born April 29th, 1847,
and departed this life September 2d,
1898. She was a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Espy of Jackson
county. She was converted August,
1871, and joined the Presbyterian
church at Chestnut Mountain, Hall
Cos., Ga, 1874, and lived a consist
ent Christian up to the time of her
death. She was a great sufferer for
months prior to her death, but she
bore her affliction with fortitude and
resignation to the will of her Heav
enly father. She was ever the same
patient, self-sacrificing, sweet-spir
ited sufferer. A devoted wife, an
eff'ectionate mother, a faithful friend,
she was true in all the varied rela
tions of lire. Gentle, refined, cour
teous, adorned with a meek and quiet
spirit, she was a perfect lady. She
had one of the most beautiful char
acters, and we rejoice that we knew
her, loved her, and we will ever try
to imitate her example. The crown
ing glory of her life was her Christi
anity. She was ready and willing to
go or stay, that she left with her
Heavenly father, to whose will she
was ever submissive. She fought
the good fight, finished her course,
kept the faith, and has gone to wear
a crown of righteousness in the gol
den city, where no one ever says, “I
am sick.” She leaves to mourn her
departure, a loving husband, two
children and a host of friends. Her
loved ones miss the sweet influence
of her beautiful life, and her Chris
tian example will ever linger in the
hearts of those who knew her. May
we all live to meet her in that sweet
home, where she is now basking in
the sunshine of God’s presence.

John W. Hunt
Was thrown from a loaded wagon
near Apple Valley Oct. 14, 1898, and
was so seriously hurt that he died a
few hours after the sad accident.
He was born Dec. 23, 1836, in Hart
county, Georgia. Twenty-five years
ago he moved to Jackson county,
where he has lived since till about a
year ago he moved to Ha, Ga. He
served his country loyally through
the war of the 60’s, suffering from
fever and other camp ailments as few
men ever suffered to come out alive.
He was a devoted husband, a lov
ing father, an honest man, striving
both by precept and example to in
culcate in his children the same no
ble principle, temperate in habits, of
strong personality, a faithful friend
and a strong ally on the side of
right, fearlessly expressing his opin
ions against wrong in whatever form
it appeared. He held the highest
ideal of a Christian life and charac
ter, and mourned over the errors that
have crept into our churches.
To his many friends we can say,
tlyit while John Hunt’s body lies in
the cemetery at Apple Valley, the
virtues of the man will live in their
minds and hearts, influencing them
for good. To his relatives who
mourn over his loss, we can say,
mourn not, for a noble man has
fallen, a grand life hns gone out, his
memory is blessed. To his children
and faithful wife who will miss him
more than all others, we can only say
that there are no accidents in this
God’s earth.
In whatever way God chooses to
take His sons and daughters from
this earth, it is his plan, and his
every plan has a purpose; you may
not see it in your time, but in God’s
time you will see and know “That
all things work together for good to
them who love the Lord.”
Dearest loved one, you have passed
away and left us sadly mourning.
Our hearts are breaking, and we will
miss you in all the years to come till
we, too, fall asleep. H.
DRY FOND.

It looks like the Populists might
have known that it would take some
thing “bigger” than a Brook-(e) to
beat Carter Tate. We wonder what
frivolous excuse they will get up
now? Perhaps their men didn’t turn
out and vote.
Mr. F. C. Evans must have a host
of relatives, since every woman that
passes claims kin with him. Strange
isn’t it?
The following story, which is said
to be as true as life, is being told on
Captain Garrison: Some time ago
he proposed to Amos White, col.,
that they make a turnip patch to
gether. Captain was to furnish the
land, and Amos was to prepare it.
So when Amos got the land pre
pared, Captain sowed the seed, and
now he has got a fine stand of tur
nips on his half, while Amos hasn’t
got a siDgle one. They say that
Captain sowed the seed on his half,
and the dnst (which was in the seed)
on Amos’s.
Why not organize a debating so
ciety at this place? It would do a
lot of good. Shall I make the an
nouncement in my next piece?
Bill collectors are very much in
evidence these times.
The matrimonial wave has struck
this place broad sided, and is sweep

shadows never grow less.
