Easter services were held here yes terday, and our church was tastily and beautifully decorated for the occasion. Upon entering the church, we notioed lettered on the rear wall the words, “The Glad Awakening,” which were very attractive, and I reckon were impressive to those who gave them any thought. The servi ces were opened with song and pray er; Miss Maggie Rentz was organist. Being a pretty day, there were a goodly number attending. All acted their parts well and deserve praise, therefore I will not make any special mention of any one ex cept the girls, who looked as sweet as a tub of roses floating in a stream of honey. Well, I will say some thing about the little boys, because they are of my sex. They looked manly and we feel proud of them. The program was as follows: Song—‘“Hail the Happy Spring time.” Prayer by Z. B. Means. Song—“Christ the Lord is Risen To-day.” Recitatation—Irene Baird. Responsive reading. Song, ,‘He isjRisen as He Said.” Recitation by Jim Stewart. Exercise and song, “Easter Gross.” Recitation by Mary D. Roberts. Song, “Jesus Rose,” by Misses. Mary Brown, Julia Rentz, and Mrs. J. J.

She was eighty-two years old at the time of her death. She had been a great sufferer, not able to walk for nearly twenty years. She had almost a life-time been a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist church. Her sweet submiesin to the Divine Will was truly wonderful. To hear her singing in her loneliness, “How Firm aFoundation” etc., was enough to drive scepticism forever in obliv ion. Her Master has said “it is enough, come up higher”. No more suffering, no more long and sleepness nights for her. She has gone to the better land where God the “Son” forever shines, and scatters night away.” She leaves one sister, Miss Joe Amos, in this county, one sister, Mrs. Dr. Jenkins, in Alabama, and one brother, Mr. F. M. Amos of Texas, with many other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. But we grieve not as those without hope. A Friend, April 1st, 1902, by joe bedge. Farm work is retarded in .this sec tion on account of frequent rains. Only a few have planted corn. March is bidding us adieu, and the prospects are good for open weather and out-door work, we hope, will soon be resumed. The public roads are in bad con dition, some of them almost unpass- able, oaused from fresh work and heavy rains. Invitations are out for the mar riage of Mr. W. W. Graham of Una- dilla, and Miss Maggie' Rentz of Grovania. I have not seen anything of Cap tain Coot, Uncle Ned, nor the Pas ture boys grazing up this way lately. I reckod the bars have been put up and the gates locked; pull down the fence boys, and come ahead. The grain is just right for nipping. Politics are being discussed now in our place; I presume the candi dates will soon be arouud and tell us why we should vote for them. Messrs. Walter Meaus, Gus Pode, and Hub Marshall wore in bur place to-day shaking hands with thoir many friends. Wo don’t know j whether Gus and Hub are candi dates or not. If they are, they did let us know it. Messrs. Brown Pitts, and H. R. Brown each have planted a small patch in casava. Mr. Pitts says c&- sava is an excellent food for hogs, and can be cooked or eaten like a sweet potato. Mr. Pitts is wearing a broad smile—a girl. Mrs. C. 0. Anderson of, Macon, is visiting her sister, Mrs. A. H. Daniel of Hayneville. Misses Alma Anderson of Maeon, and Evelyn Powers of Hayneville, were the guests of Miss Mary Brown yesterday.
