OGLETHORPE ECHO
PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY
TIIOS. L. GANTT ' Editor and Propr’or
Crawford. Ga., * - June 18,1875.
Onr Sunday-schools.
A couple of weeks since, Capt. Jno.
F. Tiller proposed a Sabbath-school
Convention of the various schools in our
county. His proposition was instantly
seconded by many of the teachers and
superintendents throughout the county,
and it is now a fixed fact that we will
have a Convention, to assemble at Lex
ington on the morning of the 4th Satur
day instant. This, we think, is a move
in the right direction. Nothing is more
necessary for the proper training of our
children, both morally and mentally,
than well regulated Sabbath-schools. It
is there that the child first receives that
religious training which always remains
a fixture in its existence, no matter to what
dissipation and temptation it is in after
life exposed. llow often has the lessons
of early piety, imbibed at those schools,
proven a sudden check upon wayward
youth, when first exposed to the thous
ands of temptations that assail him on
every hand, in stalling life, and have
been the means of bis reform and salva
tion—both of body and soul ? Even
many of our worst criminals, when the
vengeance of an outraged law is about to
be melted out to them, have found in the
lessons taught them while at Sabbath
school a bright oasis in their wasted lives,
and finally proved the means of their
conversion. Now, without well regula
ted schools how can w T e hope for success ?
So we heartily enter into this good move,
and hope that every teacher and super
intendent in our county will meet at the
time designated, and there take such
measures as will arouse such interest in
our midst as was never before known.
The Crops.
On every hand we hear the glad tidings
that the crop piospects were never bet
ter, with the exception of cotton. Corn
is splendid, and small grain is turning
out a fair yield. And what is much bet
ter, the admirable weather has permit
ted our planters to thoroughly cleanse
their fields, and now, with a moderate
se ison and diligent work, we can feel
assured of a bountiful yield. Such a crop
will surely be a God-send. Many of our
planters are now on the verge of bank
ruptcy, and a failure of the present crop
would bring untold miseries upon our
beloved laud. But it seems that a kind
Providence has taken pity on our dis
tressed condition, and is showering His
blessings upon our land. Let every knee
each night and morn humbly bow and
ask a continuance of His mercies, and let
us in our hearts hourly return thanks for
the manifold blessings heretofore vouch
safed us. Our pride needs humbling,
and the sooner v e see the same the
sooner will our land receive the smile
and blessing of our Heavenly Father.
Declined..—Ex-Governor Jenkins lias
written a letter to the Augusta, Chroni
cle cC* Sentinel declining to become a can
didate for Govenor. He prefers the quiet
f private life to the disturbances con
nected with a public office.

ship Vicksburg was wrecked by being
crushed by icebergs on the first of June,
when about 120 miles from St. Johns, N.

connected with the stirring political
events of half a century ago, and whose
name was once as familiar as that of Gen.

inateuL
The safe of the Uin ted States man-of
war, which by the Confederate
ram Virginia, for which, a ten year’s
search has been prosecuted, was found
by a man who had only been upon the
ground forty-eight hours. This is famil
iarly kuown as luck.
Earthquake in South America.—
A terrible earthquake occurred in South
America ob the 18th ult. The city of
Cucutawas entirely destroyed ; San Cay
etano was destroyed, and Santiago in a
large part. Arboleda, San Cristobal,
and other cities were greatly damaged.
The loss of life and property has been
heavy.

rian turn his attention to the naan in the
Iron Mask, the man in the inoon, the au
thor of the Junius Letters and the age of

man tecuicJ the niont-trosi ties, and will send

A SAD, SAD FATE.
Little did we think, when we ecnm
raenced the publication of the Echo niae
short months since, that our bright hopes
for the future would so soon be crushed
beneath the relentless hand of “ Justice.”
E’en this very morn our mind was filled
with brilliant pictures of future greatness
and notoriety. We saw, as in a vision,
a bright angel of mercy, with “ Justice”
painted upon its forehead in letters of
gold, with a pen from whose tip dropped
words that were grasped 1 by the millions
who were famishing for such wisdom and
learning, and by them distributed to ev
ery creature who inhabits this mundane
sphere. And we saw in those words an
eulogy on the goodness of ourself and
the greatness of the Echo. We felt that
with but a word of approval from the
great and immaculate “ Justice” our for
tune was made—his article we knew
would be sent by lightning from poll to
poll, and the one fond- hope of our life—
notoriety—gained.- So our numerous
readers can well imagine the suspense
with -which we awaited the arrival of the 1
decision that would' elevate us to the
gods, or doom us to drag out a miserable
existence, and finally pass away, “ un
honored and unsung.” It was with a
quivering heart and trembling knees
that we received a copy of the North-east
Georgian, for well we knew that within
its folds lay our fate. It was opened, and
at the bottom of an- article we caught the
ominous word—“ Justice !” Elevating
our eyes we, with a calmness that even
surprised ourself, read these words :
“ I DO NOT PROPOSE TO GIVE THE
EDITOR OR IIIS PAPER A FREE AD
VERTISEMENT !”
In other words he did not intend to write
us into notoriety. Thus, reader, with
one sweep of the pcir was out brightest
hope blighted—we were to pass through
life unadvertised by “ Justice!” Can
any fate be more sad, more terrible?
We would moat respectfully inform
“Justice” that he is mistaken about the
article in our last being an attack on him.
We assure him, most kindly, that it was
not intended as such. We only meant
to reply to his “ lick” at the insignifi
cance of our town and paper —“only
this, and nothing more.” We agree with
him in his desire not to have any contro
versy, and assure him, if we ever should
be engaged therein, it will be conducted
in the best of feeling by ourself.
OUR SABBATH SCHOOLS.
Editor Oglethorpe Echo:
I notice that my suggestions in refer
ence to Sabbath-schools are meeting
with favor. Let us have a superinten
dent’* and teachers’ meeting, by all
means. We have many things to say
to them that would take too- long to give
in your paper, even if you were disposed
to publish them. Mr. Latimerhas kind
ly tendered us the use of the Masonic
Hall in Lexington, and has given us a
cordial invitation to meet them,
I hope every school in the county will
be represented in this meeting. Come
up, teachers, all who can, and let us
counsel together. Come instructed as to
the grand celebration. lam in favor of
postponing the celebration till the latter
part of the summer. Let us prepare for
it. I will assure the Baptists, Metho
dists and Presbyterians that the object
of the meeting is not to introduce uniform
lessons in all the schools, but to intro
duce a uniform system of earnestness
and devotion—to try and stimulate each
other,other by word and example, to excel
each in this good work. Nothing will
be introduced that will offend any. Let
us meet as proposed, on the 4th Satur
day iust., at the Masonic Hall in Lex
ington, at 10 o’clock, a. m. Let us meet
in the spirit of our Master. Let us hear
from others. John H. Tiller.
