This stone stands on a corner of the square in the heart of the city in which Griffin. —In the election held here Spalding county voted for SBO,OOO court house bonds by a big majority. The vote in Grifin was 1,005 for bonds and only two against; in the country bonds had a majority of 322. This means that Griffin will have a hand some new court house. The taxpay ers and citizens generally are rejoic ing over the result of the bond elec tion. Juliette. —Citizens of Griffin were very enthusiastic over the prospects of getting for their city the Masonic Grand Lodge temple. Prominent Ma sons and others in Griffin believe that the location of the Grand Lodge tem ple in their city would be a big thing for the town bringing there 1,500 of representative Masons from all parts of the state, and they are going to make a desperate effort to get the temple. To get/the Grand Lodge tem ple citizens o 4 Griffin have already pledged a subscription of $50,000. the bones of the Indian chieftain rest. The exact spot on which Tomo-Chi- Chi is buried is unknown, but it is probably somewhere near the center of the square, probably directly un der the Gordon monument. The inscription upon the southern facing of the pedestal of the Ogle thorpe monument sets forth that it was erected by the state of Georgia, the city of Savannah and the patriot ic societies of the state, in honor of the great soldier, statesman and phi lanthropist, James Edward Ogle thorpe, who founded upon the Georgia .-.bores a refuge for the honest debt ors of England, who were languishing In prisons because of their inability to pay their debts. Georgia has al ways remained a refuge for the perse cuted and a haven for those who are iespitefully used. Oglethorpe was chairman of a com mission in England, which investigat ed the condition of prisons and their systems. It was this investigation which brought to the front the con dition of hundreds of debtors who had been thrown into prison, not through any criminal negligence, but merely because of unfortunate circumstances which debarred them from the pay ment of their dbets. Being in jail there was, of course, no way open to them for the recoupment of their fallen fortunes. They were destined to languish there indefinitely. Ogle thorpe secured permission from the crown to colonize these people upon the English possessions in Georgia, where they might obtain a fresh start in life. Thus the colony of Georgia came into existence. Oglethorpse remained in Georgia about thirty years. He paid a visit to England the second year after the founding of the colony, taking Tomo- Chi-Chi and his queen and several of his chieftains with him, in order to impress them with the strength of the English people and the futility of their undertaking to drive them away from their holdings in the new world. Upon his return he brought back with him tiie tw*o Wesleys, John and Charles, and thus gave chance for birth upon these shores of a new re ligious cult. Oglethorpe lies buried in the old churchyard at Cranham Hall, Essex, England. A picture of the old church and of the gates leading to the gar deu of Oglethorpe's estate, were re cently presented to the Georgia His torical society by the Rev. C. Brax ton Bryan of Petersburg, Va. The hedge leading to this gate is 12 feet thick and 12 feet high. The monument stands in Chippewa square, near enough to the northern extremity of the city to be within the zone laid ouf by Oglethorpe him self. This square is one of several arranged by the founders as a place of refuge for the inhabitants in case of trouble with the Indians. It is within sight of the place of the first landing on one side arid within a stone s throw of the grave of Tomo- Chi-Chi on the other. JOSEPH P. WATKINS.
