the particular time when the festival
"was to be kept/
A controversy between the different
' retnstCtieKnrtJOUt tire fceoplnjrofKAiirer
I) ay was kept up for quite a while:
the Asiatic churches kept their Easter
~^rttfK>n the same day that the .Tews ob
served their Passover, viz., the four
teenth day of their first month, chiefly
_ Answering our March; and Ibis they
J,J ""'-n whatever day of the week
and from thence they were
Quarto-Declmaus? keeping Eas
upon the fourteenth day after the
r: eppcrirance of the moon.
v The other churches, nspfcclally those
of the West, kept Easter upon* the
Lord'a Day following the Jewish Tass
over. These latter churches, pleaded
"Apostolic tradition; the Asiatics
? claimed the practice of the apostles
themselves. ?
* Th? great controversy was finally
determined by the Ecumenical Council
- Bf ^jWirf assembled by the Emperor
^..Gbutantlne, wherein it was ordained
that Easter should be kept npon one
; and the same day throughout the
world: not according to the custom
"of the Jews, but upon the Lord's Day,
rWhkh decree was raiified and poh^|
nfced by the Imperial Jitters to all
the churches; therefore. It became the

The week ending 8 a. m. Monday,

tobacco, grain, gardens, truek and len

be accuiatcly determined, but was mot
serious as far as known.
Heavy rains on tho 2iHh of March,

Th<? weather conditions since early
In March have been favorable for the
rapid growth of vegetation, owing to
that month having been unusually
warm/ In fact the warmest March on
record, but U wao also unusually wet,
aud had au exceedingly small percent
age of Jiunshlne, and light winds.
These letter conditions caused lands
to dry out slowly, co that plowlng*and
preparation of lands in general, wore
delayed, making the season, to date, a
late one,, except ever tho 'uplands of
tho eastern counties whoro tho condi
tions were more favorable* and where
planting operations arc almost as far
advanced as usual. Hiee Is an excep
tion, as the low lying lands have been
continuously too wet to work.
In tho onstern counties corn plant
ing is well underway, in places Hear
ing completion, and Hom? corn Is-up to
stands. -Some cotton has been plant
ed, but this work Is not general. To

out. The acreago devoted to tobacco
is being Increased and the territory ex

To the westward of a north andsouth

little planting has been doueT and pre

and heavy shipments of strawberries,

unfavorably, necessitating much re
