EASTER SUNDAY
IN BRUNSWICK
Unpleasant Weather Came too Late
to Interfere With the Morning
Services at the Churches,
• 4 ' ,~fs , *
it , was fortunate iutlci-U that the
very inclement weather which pre
vailed Sunday afternoon and evening
held off until after the. church ser
vices An Brunswick's various tem
ples of worship. Had the rain and
wind arrived a few hours earlier, it
would have completely ruined Eas
ter Sunday in Brunswick, but Jupi
ter Pluvius was kind enough to
hold hack until the morning servi
ces were over.
In every one of* Brunswick's
churches unusually large congrega
tions were present Sunday morning,
in most of them specially arranged
musical programs were rendered and
were a feature of the service. All
cf the ministers delivered special
sermons appropriate to the day,
which were tmjoyod by the congre
gations,
BuG the dress-parade In the after
noon, when everybody who had a
'bej, jfllimiTijfe rnm~ out to exhibit it,
was tailed, oft: by the wei.ther man
npil he -also -Caused the night ser
' vices at -the churches to be attended
by small congregations.
While it has ibeen a custom of Mr.
Jupiter Pluvius to cut up his capers
on Easter, he never tried it to such
an extent as he did Sunday. Not
being satisfied with opening the
clouds for hours he also tried to
control the temperature anA sent
the mercury down about 4nj de
grees. f
But those who could not get out
on dressAparade Sunday afternoon
are carcffilly keeping thair Easter
outfit until next Sunday when prob
ably it will be more in keeping to
wear a straw hat than an overcoat.

Yesterday at Offices of
Gotti Companies
AG Aft ABO BASE
Rate to —id New York go
Up Considerable—No Raise In
the Price of Messages to
Points Ir, Georgia.
Changes in telegraph rates from
Brunswick to a number of points
were put into effect yesterday by
the Western Union and the Postal
Telegraph Companies.
Information of the raise was sent
out from New York Saturday, it be
ing stated that the changes were
more in the nature of a readjust
ment of tolls which had become ab
normally low in the past for rea
sons good it the time. The changes
will 'be made only in commercial
messages. Cable rates will not lie
in any way affected.
The changes which will be felt
most by Brnnswiokians will be in
tiie rate to New York and Chicago.
The rates hitherto prevailing have
been 50 cents for day messages of
ten words and 3 cents for each ad
ditional word, the night rate being
30 and 2. Yesterday the rate was
increased to tin and 1 'Chills with
Ihe night sakt JP*--*ad 3. Many
points to Which ’ the day rare -has
been 50 and 3 will be 00 and 1, whil®
some pointy that have beeu >OO and

rate has been raised, the ‘’customers
being left to learn by Experience as
to whether the increase includes the
place the message is to be. .sent, The
raise is more general in (he night
