Barnwell from Darling ton, filling his regular appoint raent for the first Sunday in the month, the Easter service was not held in the chapel until the 12tb, of April. There had been a carefully prepared programme of music selected for the occa sion under the direction of Mrs. Frank Pegues, the accomplish ed organist of the chapel, who had secured the assistance of the following singers: Misses Alma Breeden and Lizzie Rast, sopranos; Mrs. J. K. Mclver, alto, Mr. W. B. Brunson, basso, and Messrs. Frank Pegues and C. D. Evans, tenors. Miss Breeden is from our neighbor ing town of Bennettsville, her kind offer of assistance was accepted with pleasure. The morning service was opened with the processional hymn, “The day of P.essurrection”, sung by the whole choir. The Te Deum selected was by War ren, and was sung with fine ef fect, the duette between tUe soprano and alto, and the duette for tenor and alto being beauti fully rendered. The alto solo “Vouchsafe 0 Lord”, &c. was sung with much expression. The solo parts were sung by Miss Breedeen, soprano; Mrs. Mclver, alto and Mr. Pegues, tenor. The fine bass recitative, “The glorious Company" &c., was sung by Mr. Brunson, The Jubilate selected was by Danks in which the tenor solo was sung by Mr. Evans; the so prano solo by Miss Rast and the duette by Mr. Pegues and Mrs. Mclver. At the close of the sermon the grand Anthem “Christ the Lord is risen to day,” by Lloyd, solo and cho rus, was sung, Miss Breeden taking the solo, and the choir joining in. The difficult solo was well sung, especially in the high notes, where the great compass of the voice was shown to advantage. The offfrtory, “Easter day”, by Rowley, tenor solo and chorus, was a beauti ful selection in which the sweet voice of the tenor (Mr. Pegues) was in harmony with the senti ment of the music and words, The communion was adm’nis tered after the morning service. The evening service was begun with the anthem, “Alleluia”, by De-Reef. In this the solo, “For since by man”, &c. was sung by Mr. Evans, and the so prano solo, “O Death where is thy sting”, was cung by Miss Lizzie Rast, who rendered it in a most charming manner. Just after the sermon the anthem by Conde, arranged from the “Prayer of the Wanderer”, a duette for soprono and tenor was sung, Miss Breeden taking the soprano and Mr. Frank Pe gues, the tenor part. It is not too much to say that with all the fine music which had been so well sung during the two ser vices, this was by far the best. Not only is it a good selection, but on this occasion it was ren dered in a most charming man ner and witli a finish of execu tion seldom heard ia an ama teur choir. Both voices were at their best, and the opinion of your reporter is shared by every one who was so fortunate as to hear thetn. In the morning service Mr. Barnwell preached from Job XIV; xiv: “If a man die shall he live again”? This question had appeared in the oldest writ ings of which the world had any knowledge, but had not been answered until the light of the glorious Easter morning flooded the world so many cen turies ago. At night the text was from Philipians IV; iv: “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice”; in which was shown St. Paul’s rejoicing in the Lord, even in the midst of the terrible dangers with which he was surrounded. The sacri fice of life itself was counted as nothing by the Apostles who all died for the cause of Christ, not one of them dying a natural death. At the close of the ser mon Mr. Barnwell spoke for a few minutes on the difference between the Christian, and the moral man, saying that he would at another time speak more fuliy on the subject, but hoped in the meanwhile those who heard him would take the thought home with them and give it earnest attention. The decorations of the Chapel were in charge of the ladies, and in this, always to them a labor of love, their usual taste had,been displayed. There was a mound of flowers in front of the rail, and the lectern and reading desk were covered with a drapery of white twined with wreathes of green, and flowers. The frff wu also of green twined arouhd it. Masses of living flowers were grouped at the foot of both lec tern and reading desk, and on the altar were vases of cut flow ere. There was a beautiful al tar cloth of white, with a cross of gold embroidered upon it. The dorsal was ornamented with a spray of green with pur ple flowers. On the organ there were several vases of living flowers os well as vases of cut flowers. The prevailing colors in the decorations were green and white, and the effect was very pleasing. Among the many living plants were some very handsome calla lilies which were used as a back ground for the base of the lectern. When the soft rays of the elec tnc light were brought to bear upon the decorations at night the varied colors' were made more brilliant, and the effect on entering the church was very fine. The organ had been turn ed so that the choir half taced ihe congregation, and the whole of the back of the organ was draped in white falling in grace ful folds to the floor. At the service at night, chairs had to and! oe placed in the aisle, and even with these additional seats, many who came had to be turn ed away from the doors. CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA. An Open Offer to Hog Raisers in South Carolina. Editor, Darlington News: In connection with the pres ent great interest in hog raising will you say a word for us to the farmers? We have a pres cription that is said to be an in fallible cure for hog cholera. If this be true no one can even estimate the amount of money that its use would save to our people. We are so anxious to nave it thoroughly tested that we offer to send enough of the treatment for ten cases of choie ra to the first farmer from each postoffice in South Carolina, who, during the month of April, sends to us for it and encloses ten cents in stamps to pay the cost of postage. We send the medicine without charge upon the condition that the recipient will advise us of the results he secures from its use. If the rem edy will successfully pass the test of a trial by a different man at each postoffice in the State, we think its efficacy will have been proved. It has already been used by a few of our ac quaintances, and without a sin gle failure to cure, so far as we have been advised. We are not satisfied, however, with a few trials, but, which ever may be the result whether it be proved to be infallible or not, we wish it speedily and thoroughly test ed. We can not devise any other plan that will do this so successfully as the one we here propose. W. O. Bkjce & Co., Columbia, S. C., April 9, 1896 A GROWING LANGUAGE. Has What Prof. Rolntgen’s Discovery Done For U». Professor Rolntgen’s discov- ery has aready given us three new words, cathode, cathodic and radio type: “and there is more to follow.” Only a grow- ing language is a live language; and this is what gives the Eng lish language its power and has caused it to dominate all other tongues. Of European tongues English is now spoken by 110,- 000,000 people; German by 72,- 200.000; Russian by 74,000,000; French by 51,200,000; Spanish by 42,800,000; Italian 15,070.000, and Portuguese by 13,000,000. Of course there are vast num bers speaking Turanian and Semitic tongues which are not here taken into account. How to Make Tobacco Seed Sprout Quickly. [South Carolina Tobacconist.] Mr. W. C. Hough, of Sumter, S. C., says he has tried several methods to make seed sprout quicklv, and that the following is the best and cheapest plan he knows, having tried it with great success: He made his bed in a warm, damp spot and cov ered it with two thicknesses of crocus bagging laid flat on the bed and weighted down at sides, and watered the Oed every af ternoon with warm fertilized water. By this means he had his seed up in eleven days. As every one knows, it takes from four to six weeks foe tobacco seed to sprout. The discovery of Mr. Hough will be of great value to planters who have to sow their beds over again, as the time is limited now. The larger part of the South Caro lina crop should be set by the 10th of May. A Revolutianary Relic. Mr. J. R. Hunter, of Spring- vllle, has a sun glass whicn be longed io his grandfather.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING IN LAN CASTER COUNTY. Mr. John F. Parrott, of Hartsvlll*. Leads A Fair Young Lady to the Alter. (Lancaster Ledger, Aj ril 11.] “Two souls with but a single thought; Two hearts that beat as one.” , At Salem Methodist Church, near Heath Springs, occurred last Wednesday evening a mar riage of unique taste. Miss Lois Horton, daughter of Mrs. 8. A. Horton, was the bride whom Mr. John. F. Parrott, of Hartsville, S. C., led to the alter. For weeks the friends of the young couple have been keen ly anticipating the event and the church at an early hour was filled to overflowing with those desirous of seeing' the handsome couple and of wit nessing their beautiful marriage. The large building was brilliant ly lighted and beautifully dec orated for the happy occassion. Promptly at 8.30 o’clock, Mrs. McDow entered upon the left aisle with Dr. E. S. McDow and preceded to the organ and as the first notes of the wedding march were being rendered, Misses Daisey Horton and Ola Kelley, the little flower girls, marched down the aisle in beau tiful time, preceeding the at tendants, seven couples, who entered a moment later in reg ular succession, alternating in either aisle, crossing before the pulpit and facing each other: Miss Dena Peebles and Mr. Geo. Fooshe, Miss Dora Stover and Dr. E. F. Horton, Miss Alice Horton and Mf. L. E. Cauthen, Miss Mamie Beckham and Mr J. G Cunningham, Miss Alma Duncan and Mr. James Howie, Miss Mamie Stover and Mr. W. B. Bass, and as every eye was turned the bride entered lean ing upon the arm of her sister Miss Fannie Horton, the groom entered supported by his friend Mr. H. G. Andrews. The bride was arrayed in white silk en trains with chiffon and ribbon trimmings Her auburn hair was crowned with a wreath of orange blossoms suspending a tulle veile. At the alter the bride with seven young ladies upon her left and the groom with seven young men on his right faced the audience. Rev S. W. Henry then impressively pronounced the few and solemn words that united the silken threads of their lives. Then as the wedding march continued the bride and groom retired slowly down the right aisle and “The smile that blessed one lover's heart Had broken many more.” Mr. and Mrs. Chamers B. Hor ton, brother and sister-in-law. of the bride who were married in Chester, S. C., Wednesday morning were present at the marriage. The two couples and invited guests then repaired to the large and hospitable home of Mrs. S. A. Horton, where the doors were thrown open and a sumptuous feast awaited them. Th» table service was beautiful and elegant and ar ranged in perfect taste. Every thing that could possibly tempt the palate was there in the greatest profusion. After two delightful hours in the spacious dining room the guests returned to the parlor where wit, fun and laughter and a great many good jokes prevailed until it was time to say good night. The bride and groom left Thurs day at 12 o’clock by train for Hartsville, S. C., for the elegant home of the latter. The presents w'ere numerous and costly. The hosts of friends of the two young couples unite in wishing them long lives of unalloyed happiness. Coi. Ham Still Lecturing. | Augusta Herald, April 2.J The Hon. H. W. J.
