brilliancy, but its rays were not
strong enough to prevent the temperature
from being cool and crisp

Easter frocks and finery among the
ladies of the community,who seemed
to prefer their heavier garments and
generally wore their spring or winter
coat suits.
. There were special services in all
of the churches in the morning and ;
good congregations were in attend- i
ance. Music by the choirs and themes 1
for discourse by the pastors were <
appropriate to the great sacred fes- (
tival.

month, union services were held at (
the Baptist church in the evening,
conducted by Rev Dr Edwin M Potest,
president of Furman university,
assisted by the pastor, Rev W E 1
Hurt, ana Rev P S McChesney, of
the Presbyterian church. The church
was well filled with members of the
