The Newberry Rifles had their prize drill in the Opera House Tuesday night, and were greeted by a large audience. * Sixteen members entered the contest, * but the ranks were soon thinned down1 to two-Aiken Fallaw and William * Hornsby, who stood the racket in a soldierly style. Lieutenant McCaugh rin found it impossible to "catch" them mmnands, and the judges were compelled to decide the champion ship upon the merits of their drilling. .The judges, Capt. Pifer, Messrs. T. S. Moormnan and S. B. Jones, decided in favor of Mr. Fallaw, and the gold badge was awarded to him in a neat little-'speech by Mr. Moormnan.

Hosannah in the highest sing, lav sing halleiujahs t' the Lamb." >ple Easter morning came to us with' serenity and loveliness through the the silence and shadows of the night. In the Sabbath stillness could be heard the soft plaint of the dove and the grateful voices of the "tenants of the air." When :- the sun uprose to awake the world again to life and light, we could but think of that Greater Light-the Son ice- of Righteousness, who had arisen to will visit all lands with the gifts of spiritual health and healing, and whose glorious f a resurrection, ascension and exaltation, Eis Christendom would celebrate. ing It was a charming and joyous day; - the sun shone through a faultless sky the and delicious air, and shed its genial ,det rays upon the moist earth, affording 'ille thereby an opportunity for all that could to go forth and enjoy the services of the the sanctuary. . All the churches were opened and services held. At the Associate Re formed Presbyterian Church there is always a vase of beautiful flowers. Mr. rg, McClintock discoursed happily from the the appr'opriate text: "Christ is risen and become the first fruits of them that slept." Likewise at the Metho { is dist Church a pyramid of flowers graced ?ns the chancel and services appropriate to 'ed- the day were held. the Interesting services and instructive discources were as usual held by Rev. at Mr. Cozby at Aveleigh (Presbyterian) ext Church and by Rev. Mr. Scott at the the Baptist Church, St. Luke's (Episcopal) Church was prettily and tastefully Ts- decorated and lay services conducted by are Mr. Mazyck. rry But it was at Luther Chapel, the ne. Lutheran sanctuary of this city, that the "queen festival" of the ecclesiastical year was celebrated with beauty and the solemnity. The church was richly at - tired and a full service held in honor of the Prince of Peace who had exchanged He his "garments dyed in blood" and his crown of thorns for a coronet of roses. On entering the church the first at K. traction was a double fringed festoon at- of pine needles, each point of the apex being capped with a rosette of magnolia kEs- leaves, and,this beautiful and elaborate o a feature of the decoration extended the entire length of the walls under the gal for leries. On the gallery facings was a ale- continuous band of thickly set magnolia leaves, upon which appeared the fol for lowing inscriptions: "Love's Redeem ing Work is Done," "Glory be to Thee, by Whom Death is swallowed up in Victory," "Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath Triumphed Gloriously !" ier and under these there was a gar land of evergreen and cedar. The bia lettering was of gilt and very neatly executed. On the rear wall was seen bia the following appropriate motto: "If ye then be risen with Christ seek those things which are above." The windows and columns were also gracefully gar ilanded. Felicitous as were these de ~ signs it was within and on either side of the chancel that the lovmng hearts H, and hands of the ladies were manifest H. in the harmonious blending of beauti nd- ful flowers and appropriate symbols. ew The altar and reading desk ,were radi ant with their offerings of roses and au panses-mute witnesses of the Master's ied love, and which so sweetly teach us how ry, to worship Him "in the beauty of holi ~ral ness." The chancel rail was beautifully the encircled with green leaves and delicate nal flowers, while on the right of the chan u- cel a cross of purple pansies lay in the o a centre of a shield of magnolia leaves s of and on the left in relief from a shield is of leaves and pure white blossoms stood ia- a lamb, typical of Calvary. op- But the special and crowning feature are of the artistic display of love's votive en- offerings was to be seen in the recess of md the chaneel, where from a background darkly clad with leaves and ivy vines inclined a cross glistering white and around which clustered the happiest ith thoughts of the worshipers-for it was rd to them the synonym of faith, love, ice and holiness. This was surmounted red by the restful words "Peace be unto nce you," and encircled wvith a drapery of ed pink flowers, and at th'e base of which Ld was a bank 9>f lilies and roses. the As we have said the services were ing full and impressive, and pronounced lon before large congregations, both in the not mnorning and at night. It was at the the latter service that the pastor, Rev. W. eat C. Schaeff'er, preached his eloquent ot Easter sermon from the text, "How are re- the dead raised and with what bodies 1ey do they come." ge Six young persons jondthe church eir --two by baptism and four by confirm e- ation, and one was received by certifi ool cate at the morning service. le.

Editor, you and all those other "boys" like ''Jake" and "Y.'" and "Wallace" and all all the rest of the "gang" are ex pected to be on hand, and we'll ail have a real jolly good old time. On last Friday a difficulty occurred on Mr. Geo. P. Griffin's place between two colored men, Glenn Cannon and Simpson Kinard. It seems thata Kinard had made some deathly threats on Cannon'selife, and on the above named day he came to the field in which Cannon was at work and began a fuss, when Cannon opened fire upon him with a pistol. Two shots were fired, one of which took eifect just above the small of the back, and very near to the spinal column. We saw the wound on Saturday morning. It seemed to have penetrated directly in ward, though of course this is mere conjeeture, as no probe was used, and no physician had seen hint The wound seemed to have been made with a 32 calibre ball. We t,o not regard it as dahgerous. No arrebts have as yet been made, and Cannou is working on as usual. Women, as usual, seems to be at-the bottom of the trouble. Solemn and impressive services were held in Grace chur'ch every night dur ing Passion Week. The minister fol lowed our dear Saviour in the tri umphal entry into Jerusalen, and then regularly through all the trying scenes of that eventful week, which finally cuminated on the cress on Calvary on Friday. Saturday night there,wereno services. Our Saviour, so to speak, was in the tomub.* On resurrection morn, however, a large congregation gathered, and the solemn and impressive Easter services were rendered. Grace church was u6t so elaborately decorated as we have seen on former occasions, but was certainly more artistically and beautifully decor ated than we have ever seen. The young ladies, whose deft hands placed wreaths and garlands of evergreens and flowers of rare specimens in their ap propriate places, deserve much credit for the artistic taste displayed. The services were deeply impressive, and affecting. A fter 'the sermon, five young persons were received into the church by the rite of confirmation. Then fol lowed the administration of the Lord's Supper, which which was partaken of by a large number of communicants. We hope that much good has been done in the name of Jesus.

Pil grim section, is im proving, hut Mr. Hartman, her husband, is in a critical' condition. H{. C. Mosely, the indefatigable worker, and President of the C. N. & L. R. R., is a good feeling mani just now, and we are glad that he does feel good. We rejoice with him, and feel good too, and lots of other people feel good. We all (not quite all) feel good, but President Moseley especially so. be cause, the building of the C. N. & L. R. R. is now a success beyond a doubt. The contract for the completion of the road to Newberry C. H., has been awarded to the Congaree t.onstruction Company, of Columbia, and by the termrs of this contract, the completion of the road to Newberry must be by the first day of May, 1890. This contract is sealed and signed by perfectly re sponsible parties, and there is now no' such thing as failure. Work will again be commenced at a very early day. The piers for the bridge across Broad River are completed, arnd the road for twenty miles is ready for ties and iron. Presi dent Moseley deserves much credit for his indomitable perseverance in this great enterprise. During the dark days which followed the adverse decision of the Supreme Court, which invalidated the township bonds, and when the enemies of the road thought they had gained an 'everlasting victory, and County Treasurers had to refund the "railroad tax," and when everything seemed dark and unintelligible, Presi dent Moseley never gave up the ship, but worked like a Trojan, while the enemy hooted and hissed at the idea of the foolhardy undertaking. These things and men so adverse to his great enterprise only served to stimulate him to greater and more determined efforts than ever before, and no w success has crowned his untiring efforts, and we are glad. Yes we are, and the people of Newberry are glad too, and we all re joice together, and we are happy and serene. YUBE. Everyone should~see Wright & J. W. Coppock's Underwear before purchas ing.

This is the second week, and these devoted ministers are working lovingly and eainestly, and waiting patiently and faithfully in prayer for a manifestalion of the Spirit's power. They are likewise ardently longing for unreserved sympathy, and ]hearty co operation, and practieal personal work on the part of the laity. Just here we would like to introduce and enlarge a little upon Rev. Mr. Hundley's request at the close of his meeting at the Baptist Church. It was that his hearers might "maintain the spirit of prayer." It was an appeal to each one present to carry the gracious thought to its conclusion. The attitude of prayer should be not alone in the sa cred desk but also at the forum and in the field; not only at home but abroad; and not simply on the Sabbath and in the sanctuary, but everywhere among men should the spirit unconsciously pervade the mind with its accompany ing graces and fruits. The meeting at the Methodist church t h is week by the pastor and Bro. Blos ser is, in a very certain sense, but a con tinuation of that begun several weeks ago) at the Baptist church. The good influences should be kept alive and continued in the spirit of true cath olicity and unity. There is ample room and a paramount demand not alone for an interchange of reciprocal Christian courtesies, but for the work of love which fulfils without measure the "spirit" as well hs the "letter" of the law. Just as no one school has all the educational facilities, in like man ner, we are persuaded, can no one church do all the evangelical and evan gelistic work of the world. *** Helena Heraldings. Mr. Wm. F. Wright, of Laurens County, spent 24 very pleasant hours in the village a few days ago. Miss Beulah Greneker, accompanied by her little pupils, Seppie McCord and Sallie Smith (two bright, sweet and winsome little maidens of ten sum mers each), spent the Easter holidays at her home. These little girls have well trained voices and skilful fingers, and played and sang sweetly for us. They came at a time when a merry little chap, very much younger than they, happened to be visiting un der Sans Souci's roof-tree, and they bridged the years over which we trav eled to the time when last we heard the crooning lullaby, and saw eyes spar kle and happy voices ring at the repe tition of the nursery rhymes and jin gles, or when little ears would open wide to drink in the wonderful stories of fairy land! On a bright morning last week we saw something flashing in the sun light, and on nearer approach it proved to be the polished spokes of three brand new bugies, all in a line and reflecting the rays of the rising sun. This "pro cession" waslJed by the gallant Saxon. The other buggies were occupieai by Messrs. Lou Wash Floyd and John Pant. They were hastening to the wed ding! The friend who asked us to tell him "Juvenile's" gender. is respectfully in formed by that correspondent through "its" reply to our query, that "it" is neither masculine nor feminine! A very dark shadow has fallen upon this little community. Wednesday,two weeks since, a bright and promising little boy died after a very brief illness. Almost tp the moment of his death his p)ulse was strong : a singular case that baffled the physician's care and skill. That evening the mournful tidings came that a sweet and beautiful young girl, who had gone forth but a few months before witha the orange blos somis on her brow, had exchanged them for the habiliments of widowhood. And a day or two later a venerable citi zen was removed to the darkness of that world of mental death-the asylum. This is, perhaps, the saddest incident of them all-a living death. In these three sorrow ful events, following each other so quickly, we have much food for very earnest, serious, sympathetic thought. SA.Ns Socc. HERIALDINGS FROM[ NO. 6. Health of the Township is pretty good. Cotton planting is being pushed rapidly, and by the first of mray the bulk of the crop will be in the ground.

Floyd lost a fine cow Sun day; suppose her death was caused by eating too much red clover. One of our young men met a foot pedler not long ago and asked hi m if he could dance. He said he could cut the pigeon wing a little. The young man feeling like he had a safe thing of it drew a pistol and told the pedler to go at it. The pedler threwv aside his bundle and gave the best he had. He was congratulated by the young man for his fine dancing. After the fun was over the pedler remarked to the young man that he had a splendid pistol. The young man said "yes," and then the pedler offered him $15 for it. The trade was soon made and the money paid over. Then the pedler asked the young man if he could dance. WVith'a five shooter looking him in the face, he could not decline. After the dancing was over, the pedler asked the young man to hand over the $15. -The pedler then told him to call at a certain store at Newberry in a week and get his pistol. Mr. John S.

C., died of paralysis on the 11th day of April at his home at 1lcKinney, Collin County, Texas. He was in the 60th year of his age. Capt. Webb was an active energetic business ian and was highly esteemgd in his idopted city. Mr. J. E. Brown died in Newberry )n Sunday, 21st instant, in the 45th rear of his age. He was a genial, kind iearted gentleman, full of "the milk >f human kindness." His business re ations were honorable and his friend hips hgnest and true. In private life ae was the soul of devotion and affec ;ion both as husband and father. He inited himself with the Episcopal ,hurch several years ago. In 1862 he enlisted for the war as a nember of the Quitman Rifles, Third Pregini-ent South Carolina Volunteer5. He was then in the 17th year of his age. He was detailed as courier for General Longstreet soon after and served gal antly in that position until the end of :he war, when he entered into mercan tile business. He was a member of the Masonic fra ernity, the Knights of Honor and the .olden-Rule, and was Chief of the New Derry Fire Department at the time of his ,death. The funeral cortege was omposed of the above organizations together with a large concourse of his fellow citizens. The funeral services were conducted it the residence by Rev. Mr. McClin tock, and the rites of sepulture per formed with Masonic honors at Rose mont Cemetery. A Hero in Overalla. [New York Herald.) He was a railway switchman in ;reasy overalls. There was nothing remarkable about him as he stood at -is post in the Pennsylvania depot in rersey City yesterday-an ordinary, ~rimy workman, the bread-winner of twife and seven children. A ten-year-old child .stood in the track. Within a few feet of him was a roving train. Death was certain un less some lgnd snatched the child Without a moment's hesitation Pat rick McAtanmney leaped forward and pshed the little one out of danger. Then the train rolled on and the head. less corpse of the brave switchman was found. There is no heroism nobler than this; no higher type of manhood or martyr. dom. Probably the switchman never had any idea ~that he was a hero. It was a plain duty he saw before him. His mind was made up at once. Onie fierce bound, a quick thrust at the child, a sudden thought of home, wife and the babies. Then the sound of runching bones, a dying shriek, a spray of blood, and it was all over.
