Appropriate Services in the Churches-A Day Without a Cloud. Last Sunday was the balmiest day so far in 1891. The sun shone in splen dor on the Easter morn, and the churches of New berry were all well at tended. The Lutheran, Methodist and Epis copal churches were decorated for the Easter occasion. and the services had special reference to the Resurrection. At the Lutheran church the decora tions were almost entirely confined to the pulpit and chancel. A large cross of frosted leaves was conspicuous against a background of dlark green laurel in the recess in rear of the pulpit. There was a profusion of rare pot plants artistically arranged on the sides and in front of the pulpit, and the reading desk was entwined with the royal colored wisteria and violets. The chan cel railing was entwined with ivy and yellow jasmine. There were two mottoes on white grounds in letters of alternate colors: "Why seek ye the living among;the dead," and "The Sut, of Righteousness has Risen." The pul pit and reading desk were also covered with draperies of white satin. While not very elaborate, the decorations were very pretty. The communion was administered to a large congregation, and four persons were received into the church. The confirmation will take place on Whit sunday. A special Easter oflering was made by the congregation for missions and church extnsion. Rev. W. C. Schaeffer, the pastor, preached the Easter sermon at night to a large congregation. His discourse was able and thoughtful, and referred especially to the general resurrection and the future life. The music in charge of Mrs. P. Rob ertson, the organist, was well rendered at both services. The Easter anthem at the morning service was in manu script, and was composed by Prof. E. Louis Ide, of Staunton, Va., especially for Rev. W. C. Schaeffer. At the night service the anthem by Wi. Dressler, "He is Risen," was sung. The Methodist church was prettily decorated for Easter. There was a beautiful cross of red japonicas in rear of the pulpit and the windows were festooned with garlands of green leaves. The windows also held each a hanging basket of hydrangeas. A mound from which rose beautiful calla lilies, roses, and begonias made a charming eftect in front of the pulpit. The mottoes "Lo, He is Risen" and "A Joyful Easter" were well displayed in letters of green in rear of the pulpit. Rev. W. W. Daniel, the pastor, preached bothmorning and night. The sermons were appropriate to the Eas ter festival and were listened to by large congregations. The music at toth services was led by the Misses Metts, and was very good. The anthem in the morning, "Lift your glad voices," was a special feature of the music. The Episcopal church was also deco rated, and lay reading held by Capt. N. B. Mazyck. EASTER ELECTION. The vestry of St. Luke's Episcopal church met on Easter Monday and elected the following wardens and ves try for the ensuing year: Wardens-N. B. Mazyck, A. W. T. Simmons. Vestry-O.. McR. Holmes, R.

Rhett Milam and Jim Little, of Clinton, were in Newberry in searctl of two stolen horses. On Friday night Mr. Madison Ferguson and Mr. Joe Phinney each ad a horse stolen from their stables. They tracked the horses in the direc tion of Newberry, but up to this time have been unable to obtain any clue as to the guilty parties. Mr. Phinney was in Newberry Monday and called at T1he Herald and News office and informed us that one of the horses was a bay mare, medium size, rather thin. The other was a sorrel horse, pony build, in fine fix, with scar above.the eye and on left forearm, caused by barbed, wire fence. Mr. W. H. Sondly on the same night lost his horse, but he turned up at home next day without the saddle. He was visiting at Mr. J. Cal. Neel's. about a mile from Newberry, and had hitched his horse to the fence. When he came out to go home about 11 o'clock the horse was gone. Two Boys Trying to See the World. On last Saturday Chief of Police, C. W. Bishop, received a telegram from Mr. J. N. Pool, of Belton, S. C., to look out for two boys on the Columbia train and arrest them if found. They were there and Mr. Bishop took thenm in charge and gave them a cell in the guard house and notified Mr. Pool of his action. On the Anderson train Mr. D. A. Geer came down to identify the boys, and if the right ones, to take them back home. They were the boys wanted. They were only about fourteen years old. One was the son of Mr. Pool and the other the son of Mr. J. .J. Cox. Both parties are well to do farmers living near Belton. The boys seemed willing to return home. They did not care to talk much and gave no excuse for leaving home except they wanted to take a trip and see something of the world. They had bought tickets to Columbia. They had also purchased a ticket for a negro who, it seems, was to accompany them but when the time came did not put in an appearance. Each of the boys had a 22 calibre seven shooter pistol; no bag gage. Pool had $27 left after buying tickets and dinner. Cox did not have any money at all. Mr. Geer returned to Belton with them on tbe freight Saturday night. Timely Suggestion. Now is the time to plant beans, and the place to buy them is at Pelham 's Drug Store.

A RUMOR ABoUT TIIE THREE C'S. [Special to Charleston World.] UNION March 2;.-It is currently re ported that at a very early date work will be resumed on the Augusta Divi sion of the Three C's railroad, whicl runs by this place. Three-fourths of the roadbed in this county has alreads been graded, and if work is again re sumed it will undoubtedly be pushed rapidly to completion, in order to gel the benefit of the township bonds sub. scribed by the different townships o: the county, which amount to over $S0,00). Only three more months re main to finish the road and put on rolling stock, and have the roadbed accepted by the railroad commissioners in order to get the benefit of the town ship bonds. In order to do this a very large force of hands will have to be put to work. THREE C'S EXTENSIoN. [Special to Charleston World.] ASHEVILLE, March 30.-There are prospects now that the Three C's rail road will have trains run ning to Marion, thisstate, during this week. TO PAY THE THREE C'S DEBTS. [Special to the State ] CHARLESTON, S. C., March 25.-In the matter of the Finance Company of 'ennsylvania against the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad com pany, an order was filed in the United State: circuit court to-day granting permission asked by Receiver Cham berlain to issue certified bonds. The order is signed by Judges Bond and Simonton, and provides that "D. H. Chamberlain, receiver of the Three C's company, be authorized and empowered to borrow the sum of $30,000, or so much tbereof as may be necessary, for the payment of the several obligations and debts of the railroad company, as set forth :n the petition of D. H. Cham berlain, receiver, and to issue certifi cates therefor, payable two two years from date, unlesssooner redeemed, with interest at 7 per cent, per auuum, pay able semi-annually." SUPERINTENDENT TALCOTT RESIGNS HIS POSITION. [The State, March 30.] One of the most important railroad changes that has occurred recently has just been made, and it will no aoubt create considerable surprise. Superin tendent George R. Talcott, of the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta, and Co lumbia and Greenville Roads, has ten dered his resignation to the controlling company. Last evening it was ascertained in an accidental way that Col. Talcott had resigned. The authority for the state ment is the best, as it comes directly from a gentleman to whom Col. Tal cott himself gave the information. It is all the more surprising, as Col. Tal cott had but a few days ago declined to say whether the rumor that he'in tended to resign was true or not. His resignatson will go into effect on April 15. He has been in the service of the rail road company for eleven years and has made a very efficient officer. He is superintendent of the Columbia and Greenville, and Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta roads, as well as of the Cherter and Lenoir and Cheraw and Chester narrow gauge roads, having under his control about 62-5 miles of railroad. The cause of his resignation or his future movements cannot be as certained. It almost certain that his successor is to be Mr. John Dodson, the present superintendent of the Georgia, Caroli na and Northern Railroad, with head quarters at A bbeville. It was rumored last night that such was the case, and that Superintendent Dodson had al ready handed in his resignation to the management of his road. Mr. Dodson is a thorough railroad man and will, no doubt, be a worthy successor to Col. Talcott. Col. Talcott's retirement from railroad circles means a great loss to that business. SiiORT ROUTE TO GREENVILLE. [Special to News and Courier.] LAURENS, March 25.-Laurens is rather congratulating herself on the consolidation of the Central system with the Richmond and Danville. Ovei the Greenville and Laurens and New berry and Laurens Railroad the dis tance between Greenville and Columbis is thirty miles shorter than over thE regular Greenville and Columbia line Inasmuch as both these roads will nov, be under the same management Lau rens is very hopeful that througt trains over them from Greenville tc Columbia will be among the blessings o the near future. THE C. N. AND L. EXTENSION. LAUJRENS, March 25.-The presiden of the Columbia, Newberry and Lau rens Railroad is expected to arrive hern in a few days to confer with Lauren. business men in reference to the exten sion of the road from Clinton to thi point. LNews and Courier, March 26th.] General Manager Ward, accomnanie4 by Messrs Stout and Jevons, who ar largely interested in the South Carolinl Railway, left the city yesterday morn ing for Clinton.

An ill-wind suddenly passed ovei this little village-usually so healthful -and laid nearly a half score of its citizens low about two weeks ago. Among them our only doctor, severa] young ladies and a number of children. The grip was the prevailing malady. We are glad to state that they are all recovering. Rev. Mr. Bowers preached at the vil. lage church last Sunday afternoon. His theme was the Resurrection. We are told that the sermon was beautiful and tender in word and delivery, and very consoling to those who have been bereaved. Mrs. Popie Jenkins, after a very pleasant sojourn at the old home foi several weeks, returned last Tuesday tc her home at Elloree, Orangeburg County. A friend tells us of an amusing inci dent recently in which two little maid" ens, whom we shall call Mabel and Lizette, were the actors. One was the guest of the other, and while they were making their toilet for the night the little lady of the household, who is studying French with great enthu siasm, was upon her knees. After she had finished the Lord's Prayer Mabe: said to her, with a shade of sarcasm it the emphasis, "Why, L-i-z-z-?-t-t-e you say your prayers in French"? T( which the latter qickly replied witr warmth: "Look here, Mabel, don't you knom that our Heavenly Father dnderstooc French before you were born"!

Last April she was taken dowrs with Measles, followed wit.h a dreadful Cough and turning into a Fever. Doctors at home and at Detroit treated her. but in vain, she grew worse rapidfy, until she was a mere "handful of bones." Then she tried Dr. King's New Discovery, and after the use ot two and a half bottles, was completely cured. They say Di. King's New Discovety is worth its weight in gold, yet you may get a trial bottle nee at Robertson & Gilder's Drug store. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
