A Lovely Day-The Churches lave Lurge CongregationS anid Appropriate Ner. vIVOO ll141-ileautiful ecorations. Sunday was a lovely day. The sun shone out beautifully and bright and ~ the air was crisp and bracing. Just such an R aster more as draws the heart, naturally to the house of worship and tits it properly to celebrate the most Jimpol-tant poch1 In all history-the V bursting of the tomb and the resurrec tion of the Saviour of the world. A Rison Lord is the hope of the human race and it is moto and right that the event should be fittingly celebrated. Easter services were observed in the churches of Nowberry and eloquent and appropriate discourses preached by all the ministers. The Lutheran, Episcopal and Moth odist churches tero draped iu ever green garlands and budding flowers typical of the resurrection from the dead and life everlasting. There was no service at the Baptist church as the pastor has not yet returned. The Methodist church was tastefully decorated about the pulpit. A garland of evergreen gracefully festooned the arch, and beautiful flowers of different shades and colors showed to advantage in front of the pulpit. While the dec- f orations were not elaborate, they dis- a played excellent taste. A large con- Y gregation was present and Rev. C. W. t'reighton, the pastor, preached an s able sermon. In the evening the church was J crowded with an eager congregation I for the Easter service under the aus- '] picei of the Ladies Missionary Socie- J ty. The programme was a line and interesting one, embracing recitations s and songs by the young people of the I church. i Three recitations by Miss Alma ii Bishop, Master Ashley St. Amand, I Misses Levy and Annie Wadsworth, I Lurline Evans, Masters Hugh Creigh- 1: ton and James Bardin. 8 "Floral offering" with song,, by flve girls, Pauline Gilder, Mabel TI" iant, Lola Like, May Langford and Lurline I Evans. Solos by'Miss Neville Pope and Mris. s Macbeth. * A collection was taken for the Scar- v rett Bible and Training School, Kansas City, Mo., where Methodists Missiona ries are educated. The amount of the collection was about $7.00. The Easter services at the Lutheran church were attended by one of the largest congregations in the history of the church. The auditorium and the galleries were crowded and many were turned away by the ushers for want of room. The pastor, Rev. Dr. J. B. Fox, delivered a brief address suitable to the day, re-erving the Easter sermon I for the evening service. The decora- i tions were elaborate and very beauti- i ful. The interior was festooned with garlands and the walls around the pulpit twined with ivy and bright-col ored roses. "Christ Oui' Pag6over" was the central motto, exquisitely made of 1 the beautiful wisteria, cont'asting , br'ightly with the deeper purple back ground of the pulpit i'ecess. A lar'ge i cross of wvhite flowei a rose from fr'ag-, mentUs of marble on the lof t, surrounded with p)alms, and in fr'ont of the plpit and in the chancel p)ot Plants and flow ers of various colors added greatly to the beauty of the decorations. A bouquet of beautiful tulips graced the ~ pullpit lamp. Other cut flowers were to he seen in the garlands on the chan- a cel railing. The chur'ch never looked 1 prlettier in its Easter garbh. The music, both moring and evening, was render ed with excellent effet. The holy a commun ion was ad in isteredI at the morning ser'vice to tIhe largest ninber' of mnember's ever p)esent at a single time. At night Dr. Fox prmeached a good sermon fr'om the text, "Why seek ye the living among the dead." EASTER AT ST'. L~UKE'S EPISCOPALC Afteor a wvgek of unbr'oken sunishina 1 Easter' day dlawned( clear and bright to tIle delight of those whol with glad I heart greet this day so dear to the RXevercint, loving hands had don: their best to adlorn- and( beautify the sanctuary in honor of its ri-en Lord, andl fair and radliant lookedl the sacred edifice with- the golden sunlight str'eaming over all. Graceful callas, mingling thou' creamy, waxen b)eauty with the bril liant geraniums and dark green leaves and ferns, brought out in striking love liness the glistening white cross pliaced to the right of the pulp)it in the r'ear. While thme snowy font, outside the chancel railing andl marble- cross upon the altar, were beaut.iful indeed in tIle exquisiteairrangcmen tot whitoe wer's, roses and lilies, intermIingledl with del icaute leaf andi( vine. "'Garland the font with lilies, Lay puity's embllemn thmer*e, As once in the handl of a maiden, Was laidl a lily so fair!" In the morning Mr. Mazyck, after the usual ser'vices for' the day, read an ex collenmt sermon in Is forcible mfannor'. The Easter anthem, the grand old.Je 1 Docum, and the joyous resurrection hymns thrilled the hbart with their triumphant inmg. At 5 p. in. Rev. Mir. Holmes read eve ninmg prayers and prleached a sermon of gr'eat interest, which dealt with the basic truths of time i'eligion of the Lord J!osus Christ, based as it is upon facts sustained by overwhlelming masses of testimony aind evidence both from sa cr'ed anid pi'ofane sources, The resur rcction, pardon for time peonitonlt and1 judgir(ment to come foi' the finally im pecnitent, were contra) thoughts. On next Sunday Mr. Holmes will again officiate at St. Luke's both morn ing and nvnning. Meting of PeneIon Cotnmtolonets.

As the inipression has gouc out t,hroughout Newberry that te 13 -ard of County Commissioners wvhieh wont, out of )flck in 1894, left a debt of $3500, more or less. unprovided for, I wish to say to the public, who n-y have heard this roport, that it is untrue. It is true that $3500, amore or loss, was dte by the county for notes held by Newberry Na tional Ban1k, bit tihe approp-iation upon the county for this atmonit was matde through and by tic inluience of the County Board of Coimiissioners of 1892-1894, and was hence provided for by said board. This, of course, would leave the board of 189-1-18ti no debt, to ILY by any a)propriatiion of its ow), but-sillnply to turin over the m1oney be forehand provided for by tle board of 1892-1894, of which Mr. .1 .
