The Celebration or tbU Event In ••—".Athens. Editors of the Dakbim-Watchman:— ■Last Friday whe£ tho heat of noon died gradually ausy and the sun WM (lowly setting, e.grent calm cams over onr busy mart Broad Street assumed the air of sn approaching holiday. The sir aitll breathed of the freshness and life’of day whsq tho Israelites of this city closed, thei: places of business to prepare for to- marrow’s ordeal The day of Atonement the day of fasting and of prayers. By o o’clock the Synagogue WM filled to its utmost capacity. 0, how great to a man hi the eyes of the worldt but how insignificant does he feel himself in the presence of his God and Creator? Every face bore the impression of grief and sorrow, yet a glitter ia the eye wm visible to the close qhsenrer that bespake of hope. Hope or foreivMM for their iniquities—pardon for their sins. Every heart seemed as if inspired with one feel ing, “penlteuce,” and ovenrbody seemed to take hope at the words of the holy book, “Come unto Me with a penitent heart and you shall be forgiven.” At 6:80 o’clock the organ pealed forth' a slow, sad and solemn music which ac corded with the feelings of everybody present, “The great day hM commenced.'' BOOTS . AND SE«S. Ilowlythe Rev. Dr. Jacobs arose and offered a bcautifuljprayer which wm sec onded by every heart, and a tear wm eeen glistening in evoiy eye m they said “amen.” The choir then, in a melodious strain which seemed to arouse each heart to its duty, sang, “Nearer my God to PIANOS and ORGANS. A DANGEROUS EtEMEHT. The Free School Balt Fills Athens with Negro Thieves and Vagrants. Of latu petty larceny has become a most common practice in Athens, inter- with house breaking; but it to hard for tho pre^i to got information on the subject Tho onlg.arrest we have heard of is tho little negro* butcher found hid in his chest and whom h* turned over to u liceninn. Although Clpt. Bernard's use wm burglarized three times, it WM kept a profound secret until tha but qing of his barn brought it out The city 'til, now rapidly filling op with strange ne groes . some coming from M far distant as Wilkes county, that they may have their children educated free of charg* by the tax-payers of Athens. They have uo visible means of support, and there to not enough work for so many unskilled laborers. They must necessarily live, aud to do thia have to resort to theft. It ia to the new comers that the villainy in Athens to directly traceable, and before the winter is j«rer we expect to .see lar ceny increase to unbearable proportions. Some stops should bo taken to bring these outlaws to justice, and to. rid our froe schools from such a bother. Thoy don’t even pay poll tax, and yet their children are placed on the same footing as the beat citilena of the place. We suggest that the Board of Education rule out such creatures from the benefit of our public schools. If someting to not done it win seriously injure the system and impair its usefulness. NWOKULTI COLOR LINE. Rrcmcoxo, Oct 12.—My solo object in selecting a colot ed man to introduce me wm to encourage and to help to up- lift his race from a bondage worse than that which held him in chains twenty-five years ago, vlcmenUl slavery. I desire to impress upon the minds of white and black that the ssmo result fol lowed action in th« fleldof labor—wheth er that action wm on the part of the Cau casian or negro labor. In the field of labor and American citizenabip we recognise no line of race, creed, polities or color. The demagogue may distort, for purposes, tha words of others, and for a time the notoe of a boss ■nay silence reason, but that which to honest and true w U become known when the former hM paused to rest and the aoon^jof the letter's voice has forever •art*. bo known that tbs intel ligent educated man to better qualified to dfceeretbe difereoce between right and privilege, and the unwritten law of •quality wilt bo more rigidly observed than it wm today. T. V. PoWDBWT. organ wm heard. Nearer and nearer each and every worshipper found him. ■elf coining to his Maker. At 8 o'clock the Bev. Dr. Jacobs deliv- ono of the ablest discourses we over listened to. His subject was the Perpetuity of God’s Promise. He took his text from Is. 40-7: “The grass wither- eth, the flower fsdeth, but the words of our God shall stand forever.” Beautiful, indeed, did the Rev. Dr. illustrate the ex istence of a God, and with a masterly hand did he follow his text until the end of his discourse. The congregation was deligted, and for good reason, for never did a more able man fill the pulpit of the Athens Synagogue than Dr. Jacobs. His discoarse tested about one hour, after which tho choirsang, Protect Us Through The Coming Night The choirsang very finely and deserve great praise. After the delivery of the benediction the audience left the Synagogue only to reappear tho next morning. Thui passed the opening of the great day. Thestaji,^fqtjffijn'Hju ‘Ij&ifsoTihs Synagogue again were opened. At'8 o’clock the congregation had assembled, and prayers were offered. Mr. 8. Hirsh- ficld assisted Dr. Jacobs in in tha morn ing services which were very impreMive. The saddest, yet most beautiful feature of the morning service, was the Memorial Services for the Dead. Each and every heart (M foil of remembrance for the dear departed ones. Irving lua truly ■rid, “Sorrow for the dead is tho only sorrow from which we refuao to "be di vorced.” Every other wound wa seek to heal, every other affliction to forget, but this wound wo consider it our duty to keep open, this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude. Where to the mother that would willingly forget thq infant that pertehed like a blossom from her arms, though every recollection to a pang? Where is tho child that could willingly forget the most tendar of pa rents? Tears of recollection flowed froely; the spirits of the departed seemed as awakened. 0, the noblest attribute of theaoul to the love which survixps the tomb. At tbe hour of noon the* Rev. Dr. Jacob* delivered e lecture.. Our pen to too feeble to give eoab UrMU* the Rev. Dr. dosrirvae. The fflecounw vu full of learning and lattcd half.

Nothing had, as yet, bean partaken to refresh toe penitent. It asomed he did not care for that which gave him strength; his thoughts-were with Him, the judge of the human family. To Him alone he nude hts confession and swaitet forgiveness, . Again Dr. Jacobs lectured, Hi* text was taken front Pa. XC-7: Teach us to number our days that wa may apptroor hearts unto wisdom. He beautifully illus trated Human Life—compared it to tha day’s services, ,atc. The twenty-four hoars of fasting and prayer 'ware at an end, and after, the confession of the Jew ish Frith, the blowing of tho cornet, and the peUedlction by Dr. Jacobs, the aervi- ces were over. But O, tha speefeeb that met oar eyes! There won husband and wife, parents and children, amid tearful eyes congratu lating each other, but these were no tears of sorrow or ‘ * Ity.
