Mr. Walter Rritcnbarli brings us

that struck Die Dent Plare, about six
miles on Die east side of Die river,
about 2ifiO p. in. yesterday. The
wind came from tiie west, tearing
away fences, blowing down trees,
and scattering everything in its track
The road was completely biockad
ed for a quarter of a mile by Die fat
leu trees. Tim largo gin liouso was
completely demolished and scattered
everywhere. Not a piece of the
building was found in a quarter of
mile of where it stood. The kitchen
was completely demolished, and flvo
negro houses, corn crib and two bug

Very early Sunday morning Ihe
bell of this I'liurrli was heard sound
ing forth the glad tidings that the
long expected day bail dawned, mid
calling all who were willing and who
could, to eome and begin the joyful
work of decorating Die church for tiie
public services ou Die
“Queen of the Festivals."
On the walls of Die ('liniii'l, and
upon Die Altar, were vases of flowers,
a beautiful florpl cross, mid appropri
ate devices; together with an elabo
rate wreath of white roses extending
all around the rlrlilv colored memo
rial window, tlmt we have formerly
described. The Chancel rail, the I-ce
tera, Die Prle-Dieu, the Font, and Die
organ were each decorated with a
WEALTH OF FLOWERS,
most tastefully arranged. Tiie deco
ration* of the lectern and Font were
gems of the art; showing most ex-
quisito taste-in arranging, and true
perception of the harmony of colors
in grouping the varying shades of
the flowers. Upon tho walls of the
church, just beyond the choir, were
displayed au Anchor, an 1 H S, and
oilier emblems siiitod to tiie season,
enshrined in blended white and red
roses; and nil the floor of the Nave,
to the left of Die Lectern, was a bank
of liot-liouse plants in full foliage and

lowering nt least four feet htgli, a
cross covered with flowers of varied
hues, arranged hy a hand that is so
well known here, mul Dint lores so
well to use her unequalled taste and
skill in beautifying ou all occasions
Die church that her fathers loved so
long and served ever unto dentil.—
We could give names; lint as so many
had worked so lovingly, to particu
larize would lie invidious; mid be
sides, we kuow that the busy workers
will thank us fur respecting tlieir del
icate modesty. No such Easter ilecu-
ralioua, as we are in formed, were
er seen here before.
THE MUSIC
was mostly new, very appropriate,
and beautiful; and was rendered con
amnre by the fair organist, soprano
and alto, who nre always ready thus
exercise for others their far above
average talents and culture, and by
Mr. J, W. Thompson, of Atlanta, as
tenor, aud U Arnheim, E»q-. Of Al
bany, as bass. The text of tile ser
mon by the Rector, Rev. T. G. Pond,
was Kx. xil. 20: “What mean ye by
this service ?"; and was an effort to
unswer tiie question in n brief, plain
aud easily understood manner, After
the sermon
THE HOLY COMMUNION
was administered to a number, onlv
cxceeded, as we are told, at one of
the Bishop’s visitations of the Parish.
During the service Holy Baptism was
administered to the Inthut sou of two
of the'Parishioners.-
At 5,30 p, tn., a very large congre
gation assembled in tiie church to
witness a
children’s service.
This consisted of singing carols,
building a large fiend cross, while
they sang “Onward Christian Sold
iers,” a short address by tiie Rector,
the receiving and presenting tlieir
offerings, while they sang the ancient
versicle: “AU things come of Thee.
O Lord, and of Thine own have we
given Thee,” 1. f’hron. xxix. 14;
closing with the “Gloria in Excclsis
Deo,” mid the benediction. Tiie ser
vices of the day were well attended,
and every one. so far ns known, was
mnrh gratified.
the festival
given to the children on Monday af
ternoon, in the church yard, was quite
success, and enjoyed by all who at
tended. Searching for “Easter Eggs”
iu Die grass plats was the prominent
feature of the occasion. IVo must
not fail to state that tho girls and
bo vs enjoyed with evident relish the
rcfooslimeuts that had been provided

THE HRCBmOX
took place last Thursday evening at
Die Itogen House, and was a most
magnificent aflhir. At an early hour
llie house was brilliantly illuminated,
and in the liall-waya the sparkle and
glow of the gay colored ,Chineae lan
terns gave a most lively and pictur
esque effert.^The dining room had
been thrown open for dancing, and
tho beautiful decorations of ita walls
attested the fact that fair hands had
lieen busy and liad wrought their
ustial magical effects. Just iu front of
the eiitrmice door wns emblazoned
the wont, “Welcome,"and it was wel
come there, in all Die meaning of the
word. Just as Die party filed into
Ihe room, with Die honored guests of
the occasion leading tfie way, Mr.
Lurch gave vout to the following
Ai-PRorntATB words:
/.Ollier and Gentlemen : Let us cel
ebrate the occasion here to-night with
music and dancing. The word ot
welcome inscribed upon Ibis wall is
enshrined within the heart of each
ami every one of us. Welcome to vou
nil; welcome from each other; wel
come, thrice welcome, to the newly
married couple in behalf of you anil
myself to their now home and within
our circle ol friendship.
After tills music and dancing com
menced in earnest. Modena’s string
band had been provided, and aaitant
feet lieat musical echoes to its inspir
ing strains. After the grand march,
quadrilles were formed evenly and
1'iickly, and thus began tbe hoars to
go by. In the first set, near the
words, “Welcome,” we noticed Mr:
Mayor and bride; Mr. Lewis Plonskv
and Miss Peiser; Mr. H. Kaufman
and Miss Weslow; Mr. Sam Drey
fus and Miss Mitchell. A look
hround the room, at the glitter and
beauty of the display, the bewitching
loveliness of tbe ladies, the exceed

suriiassiug beauty of faces, forms and
fashions, tiie cordial greeting reach

CONCLUSION—NOTES.
The whole affair was managed With
consummate skill and peculiar and
pleasing tact, and Die nice harmony
of social dignity prevailed all night
long. The dance did not end until
half-past live, it literally being iu pro
gress all the night, and the “boys went
home witli the giris in the morning.”
There were quite a number of
strangers present, and all seemed to
enjoy the entertainment hugely. ‘
The ladies who “did up” the deco
rations were much commended for
their exquisite taste.
Mrs. Bogen deserves credit for her
management, which was skillful aad
unexcelled.
Come aud see our large stock of
fine shoes and straw hats.

Dougherty Superior Court
Court lias been lu session nearly
two wooks, Ills Honor Judgo C. F.
Crisp, of tho Southwestern Circuit,
presiding. The time of Die Court has
been taken up in disposing of those
cases in which Judge Wright had
been of counsel, and was consequent
ly disqualified to preside. Several
interesting cases linve been tried. Tiie
suit of Williams Rutherford, execu
tor of Samuel Rutherford, vs R. K.
Hines, to rooovor a valuable planta
tion in AVcst Dougherty wns derided
by a verdict for the dofondnnt. Ono
of the most interesting eases on dock
et was a suit for damages hv Dr.
Taliaferro Jones vs Nelson Tift. It
will be remembered that some years
ago Dr. Jones was severely injured
by falling through Die river bridge,
and Die suit was brought to recover
damages for tiie injuries sustained.—
Tho case has been pending a long
time, and has been carried to tho Su
preinc Court sovcral times. Judge
Crisp finally disposed of it hy dis
missing the ease under tho ruling of
the Supreme Court.
Auotlior “bridge case,” that of Mrs.
Josephine Towns vs N. Tift, for dam
ages caused to her team by the hrenk
ing through of a bridge, was deter
mined in favor of Mrs. Towns, tho
jury returning a verdict for $>42.39.
The suit of Wm. Stokes against
Tift for damages, sustained by tiie
breaking of the bridge above men
tioned, wns pending yesterday, but
verdict had not been arrived at.
Judge Crisp has given universal
satisfaction by his kindly bearing,
courtesy, and able administration of

THE DINING ROOM.
Suddenly there is a hush in tho
ball-room, a procession is formed,
and tiie cavalcade, marshalled in
splendid style by Capt. Lurch and his
Lieutenants, the managors, move on
to tiie attack. Behold, there are no
redoubts and battlemonts to take. On
Die other hand, everything was free
and open, and you were invited to
—take a scat and help yourself. Two
loug tabic*, not groaninff, butsmiltag*
under their good things, greeted the
company. The Vails of the room here
also showed the artistic and flowery
handiwork of fair hands; and the
setting of the tablo showed such ex
quisite taste as can only eome from
uporb house-keeper, such as Mrs.
Bogen. The feast wasNn elegant and
magnificent- one, and we could but
notice the unanimity of manner in
which it- was enjoyed. As the differ
ent viands were disappearing an epi
cure remarked, and quite appropot,
is it not, that “if there be an elyaium
oft eartli, it is this.” Soon the flow
of Mr. Lorch's celebrated Rhine wine
was the token for a few “remarks”
and “toast givings.” Mr. J. Hofmay
cr openod the first fire of the battery
in a sentiment that expressed every
thing so naively and tuecinctty that it
brought down the house,” viz
Here's luck to the bride and groom.'
Repeated calls brought Mr. Alison
Sterne to his feet, and for a few mo
ments he held the eutire party apell
bound by his remarks. What he said
was expressed in the style of the man,
with energy and that calm and re
fined manner which bespeaks culture.
Tiie host of tho evening could not
stand the coustant and repeated calls
upon him, and aroso amid cheers.—
He spoke for about ten minutes, and
gave forth sentiments at bright and
parkling as the wine he held in his
hand. His reference to the band of
goldcn-rimmed friendship encircling
tho groom, the speaker’s partner, tiie
bride and himself, were exceedingly
hoautifol, and reflected a feeling that
was deep and lasting. Other senti
incuts were giren which we cannot

Leesburg, April 14,1879.
Our enterprising townsman, Mr.
A. Stokes, has sold out, “lode,
stock and barrel,” and, I regret to
say, expects to migrate before, the
1st of June. As the location of his
future home depends, upon arrange
ments not yet fully consummated, it
uncertain where he will go. His
residence was purchased by Mr. Jas.
Salter.

therefore utterly nuable to “bide-the
