Last Sunday was Easter and an ideal Easter Sunday it was. The sun shown out beautifully and bright, and the air was balmy ami pleasant during the forenoon of the day, it was an excellent opportunity for the ladies to come out in their new spring costumes and Easter hats and they were not slow in taking advantage of the opportunity. Pretty dresses and stylish hats were seen in all the congregations at the church's in great numbers. It was a joyous easier tide and every one stenu-d happy that the long ami dreary winter had broken and beautiful spring was leing ushered in with the delicious odor of the beauti rut riowers bursting into bloom upon every side. Services appropriate to the occasion were held in lite Methodist church, the Baptist church and the Episcopal church by the pastors of these churches. The Methodist and Episcopal churches were tastefully decorated, pulpit, chancel, organs and windows with beautiful flowers, palms, magnolias, ferns and pot plants, which added much attractiveness and beauty to the edifices. There was a very large attendance at the Methodist church Sunday mori ing. There being no pastor at the Presbyterian church many of this congregation attended services at the Methodist church. The attendance at the Sunday rch x>l at the Methodist church in the morning was unusually large, there being present 120 scholars. This is a flourishing Sunday school and the teachers are earnest and painstaking, and the children love to gb. The superintendent, Kev. L. L. ' Wagnon, complimented the children on their attendance and asked all to come ( every Sunday and bring other children with tlitm.
