। young minister, and a graduate
from Oxford University, came
over with Oglethorpe on his
second voyage. When he reach
ed Georgia, he found no con
genial circumstances so his stay
in the colony was brief.
Christ Episcopal Church in
Savannah, built about 1838 is
! said to be on the site where
the first congregation in Ga.,
gathered for divine services.
While John Wesley was a
minister to the colony, he gath
ered the children together
every Sunday and instructed
ithem in the Bible and the cate
chism. These children's classes
of Wesley’s have become known
;as one of the earliest Sunday
Schools on record. In John
Wesley’s Journal we read that
he spent the rest of his busy
Sabbaths in holding services
lin English at Savannah and
afterwards having prayers in
French at Highgate, and in
German at Hampstead. He
walked from village to village
preaching the Gospel.
After a few more years in
Georgia. John Wesley went
back to England.

The Bethesda Orphanage
In 1738 George Whitefield
came to Georgia as a mission
ary. Learning of the misfor
tunes of the large number of
orphaned children in the col
ony he set to work to found a
home for them He secured a
tract of five-hundred acres
near Savannah from the Trus
tees. There he established his
famous Orphans* House, Beth
esda, or “House of Mercy”.
While Whitefield, one of the
most eloquent speakers of his I
day, was traveling up and down
the Atlantic Coast soliciting
funds for the home, he left
James Habersham in charge.
Most of the early success of
the orphanage was due to his
work.
At Bethesda the children
were taught trades in addition
to their regular schooling. They
were taught the care and cul
ture of silk worms. Bethesda
was one of Georgia’s first agri
cultural schools.
After Mr. Whitefield’s death
Bethesda suffered many
changes of fortune. In 1854 it
was taken over by the Union
Society, a charitable organiza
tion begun in Savannah about
a century later. Today Beth
esda is a home for boys.

The Removal of the Cherokees
The Trail of Tears was the
route the Cherokee Indians
took when thev were ousted
from Georgia. The ousting of
the Cherokees was said to have
been done more neaceably and
more disgracefully than that
■of the Creeks. The Cherokees
THE COVINGTON NEWS
' were the most civilized Indians
| because he taught his tribe to
I read and write. He made an
alphabet of eighty phonetic
sounds for the Indians. The
Cherokees actually published
a newspaper in their own lan
guage. This paper called the
■ “Cherokee Phoenix”, ran from
1828 until 1834.
The two things that marked
। the doom of the Cherokees
i were the discovery of gold in
Dahlonega and the election of
Andrew Jackson as president.
Jackson upheld Georgia when
she said the Indians must go.
So the Cherokee Indians in
Georgia were forced to leave
their comfortable homes and
1 go west.

Crawford W. Long
Crawford W. Long was born
in Danielsville, Georgia in
1817. ong had always wanted
to study medicine to become a
surgeon. One day he was talk
ing to his father about the time
।he chopped his sister’s finger
j off. Crawford said. “Father,
do you remember how she cri-
I ed?” Long wanted to find a
i method to stop the pain.
Long studied medine for
many years. After he got
through with school he went
ito live in Jefferson. Georgia.
; There he became a country
doctor. Often he rode for miles
to visit the farm homes. All
these years he still hadn’t for
gotten about something to re
lieve pain.
At night he went to the par
ties with the young people.
During those days people did
a strange thing. They liked to
inhale a gas that made them
do funny things. It was called
laughing gas. It made them
laugh and jump over tables
and chairs.
One night Dr. Long was
late leaving his office. Some of
his friends came to see him
about borrowing some of the
laughing gas. Dr. Long said
that he didn’t have any more
but they could have some of
his ether.
Dr. Long went to the party
with them the next night. After
they inhaled it they would sing
or dance. Sometimes it made
them play jokes on each other.
Dr. Long saw some strange
things happen. One man took
a pin from his coat and stuck
one of the men. The man did
not say a word when he had
been stuck. Another man fell
over a table, got up and start
ed dancing as if nothing hap
pened. The next day the man
came to the doctor and said
that he had sprained his ankle.
He didn’t know how or when
it happened. Dr. Long said I
know how and when it hap
pened. Quickly Dr. Long
thought to himself. I’ve found
away to stop pain. It was by
using ether as an anaesthetic.

How Tomochichi Must Have
Felt About England’s
Ways and Customs, as told by
him to a friend.
Oglethorpe had been in the
colony more than a year when
he announced he was going to
England for a visit in April of
that year (1734). My wife,
Senauki, a n d my Nephew,
Toonahowi and I would be go
ing with him. Some other In
dian chiefs would accompany
us too.
When we arrived in England,
we were granted an audience
with King George IT at Ken
sington Palace. We visited
Windsor, Hampton Court,
Greenwich Hospital and we
visited the Tower. Many times
I noticed as I remarked about
things, our chaperones looked
at me as if I had great wisdom. ?
Maybe this was the way they
did, even so it made me feel
good and I did it often.
I was very much impressed
at the kings coaches in which
we rode in. They were large |
and drawn by six good looking i
horses. Their horses were bet
ter than any that my people
had. I was also impressed with
the strength, riches and great
ness of their city compared to
our poverty and ignorance.
Maybe someday our nation will .
be this great, but it will be
long past my time.
I was surely surpised, when
I arrived at the palace, at the
way the Englishmen dressed ;
compared to us. Oglethorpe |
had made me put on my spe
cial bearskin for this occasion.
When we were served some
thing to eat I thought the food
looked mighty peculiar. After
everyone was seated we said
a word of prayer. Then we be
gan to eat. The food wasn’t {
half as good as it was at home, I
but the wine was delicious.
After eating, the Prince Wil
liam gave Toonachowi a watch
which the young Indian prince |
acknowledged with much grace. |
It was the finest gold watch
I have ever seen.
After staying In England
four months we returned to
the colony.
The English are good people
and I like them very much.

First Grade
Our attendance in first grade
this week is much better. We
are glad the boys and girls
who have been out are back.
Lanny Tucker and Donna Har
dy are absent today.
We are sorry Marsha Wells
has moved.

Now that most everyone is
reading better, we are enjoy
ing our stories. We like the

Second Grade
Our class is having fun in
Arithmetic. There are so many
things to learn. We are en
joying these experiences.
Some of the things we are
using to enrich our number
work are clock, calender, ru
lers, yard sticks, measuring
cups, spoons, and counting
frames which we made, flan
nel board and other things.
Randy Kirkus’ father made
us a wonderful bean bag
board game. We are learning
to keep score and to be good
citizens by taking turns and
not wanting to be first all the
time. We surely do appreciate
Mr. Kirkus’ kindness.
We are using compasses to
learn to make many pretty de
signs. We are using a needle
and thread to make our de
signs show up and crayons too.
In science, we have tried
several experiments. We have
experimented with things that
dissolve in water and with
things that float and why. Our
science vocabulary is growing
every day.
We want to say thank you
again to Gary Chambers’, Kim
Allen s and Donna Jean Har
ville’s mothers for the lovely
party we had in February We
enjoyed seeing Rhonda George’s
mother at the party too. She
is our grade mother.
