Pity The Bachelor.
Bachelors should not be taxed.
The poor devil who has never
tasted the sweet of matrimony,
who has never known what it is to
have her waiting for him, who has
never gathered them about his
knees aud listened to them as
they sang such sweet and tender
melodies as l t Everybody Works
g u( . jf a th e r,” who has never been
ca]]ed upon to heal the injuries of
th(j wouuded doll, who has never
risen in the night to furnish a
remedy for the aching interior of
the lilipution anatomy, who has
never had his collar and shirt
mussed by the soiled hands of
loving progeny, this chap ought
not 10 be taxed. In loneliness, he
he is every day expiating his tail
nre. In solitude, he is hts own
worst enemy. In all that life
holds, he is an outlaw with a price
upon bis head. Pity the poor
bachelor; don’t tax him.—Mem

THE ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON GA
Midway’s Easter Program.
Midway had an unusually inter¬
esting Raster program that was re¬
peated by request on the following
Sunday, Notwithstanding the in¬
clement weather of the past two
Sundays, an audience of more than
two ^ un dred people was present on
each occasion. The chancel was
separated from the body of the
church by a screen consisting of
nine arches which extended the en¬
tire width of the building. This
screen was covered with pine, ce¬
dar and holly, and the central
arch was surmounted by a pure
white crossover which was trailed
a delicate spray of asparagus.
High over ail, two sweeping gar
lands wem suspended from the
centre of the ceiling to the sides
of the church. In the back of the
pulpit there was a pyramid of
potted plants and calla-lilies, and
011 the wall > above a fine tracery of
v ‘ nes » waft written in bold letters
the watchword of Easter: “Christ
is risen -” Mrs. A. M. Turner
was chairman of the committee on
decoration.
The singing ot the choir was
particularly good. Five new Eas
t„r songs were rendered wall pleas
ill( , e(fcct . The cnolr W9S trai „„ d
for this special music by Miss
Adelle Turner, who presided at the
organ, accompanied by Mr. Kemp
Malone on the violin. Mrs. Love
Clark assisted with the music and
added much to the interest and
success of tne occasion
The program included several
recitations and exercises, chiefly
by the children. Six little girls
gave a glad welcome to “EaSter,”
impersonated by Miss Venable,
and eacli received from her in turn
a gift of Easter lilies. In the
“Morning Star,” a recitation by
Miss Turner’s class, a seven
p >inted star was used on whose
points were printed such names of
Jesus as the (< Rose of Sharon,
the “Dayspring,” the 4 I Sun of
Righteousness” and the “Lily of
the Valley ; and as each girl recited
appropriate verses, she revealed
one of these titles on the star.
Seven little girls, wearing the col
ors of the rainbow as a sash gave
an Easter selection entitled the
“Rainbow of Hope.” In another
recitation, “At the Cross,” Misses
Anderson; Odum, Bedingfield and
Dial, representing Faith, Joy,
Peace and Love, led their little
friends to the Cross where each
bowed and consecrated herself.
The program was completed by a
violin sclo from Mr. Malone and a
reading, “The glad New Day,” by
Miss Bedingfield. The literary
part cf the exercises was in the
hands of a committee ot which
Mrs. W. C. Clark was the chair¬
man, and it is to her zeal, energy
and untiring efforts that the suc
cessof the Easter program was
chiefly due.
The Oak Hill Sunday School.
The Oak Hill Sunday School
Institute held its quarterly meet
ing at Bethany Saturday April 0.
There was a large crowd present,
and the delegates and visitors were
the guests of the Be’.hany congre¬
gation, and, ample preparation had
been made and there was a large
quanity of dinner.
This was one of the most luter
esting meetings of the yeai. The
addresses were very beneficial.'
The one made bv Col. L. F. Liv¬
ingston was esteemed very highly
by every body present.
The afternoon was devoted to
the discussing of the question, to
wit: “Should persons who are
not Christians be permitted to
teach in the Sabbath School. > ^
This subject was well handled by
Prof. Martin, Rev Otfs, of Con¬
yers, Rev. Caldwell, of Hopewell,
and Rev. Dimon, of Salem
Every body departed from old
Bethany feeling that the day was
well spent.
