EASTER IN THE CHURCHES.

all days with Christian people,
because it was the rising day of
Him whose human life began
with His birth in Bethlehem, and
enaea on tne cross.

holding special services to com
memorate the resurrection was
well observed in the Methodist
and the Episcopal churches Sun
day.
These two churches had made
elaborate preparations in the
decoration of altar, and chancel.
There was more than the
customary display of lilies, ferns
and palms.
At the Methodist church Easter
music and a sermon on the res
errection at the morning service,
and in the evening a musical
program was rendered. Mr.
Wyke presided at the organ, and
his playing was much enjoyed;
his offertory was one of the
best rendered selections we have
ever heard. The following pro
gram was carried out.

Separate Conventions and

| tion, which from first to last was a:
stormy one, resulted in a splitj
and two sets of delegates to the
state convention. After the j
Davis men had unseated enough1
Wood delegates to have a ma
jority, by accepting the creden
tials of the Davis delegates from
Union township and throwing
j out two Wood delegates from |
j Grubbs and Breckenridge town
ships, a split ensued.
The call of the Chairman M. M.
Stuckey for the county conven
tion, stated that the meeting was
to be held in the county court
room, whereas this convention
was being held in the circuit
court room. Upon suggestion,
the Wood delegates retired to the
county court room, electing E. A.
Shaver, chairman; C. B. Coe, sec-1
retarv.

the following county committee:
J. W. Lindley, chairman.
Claude Erwin, secretary.

STRAWS IN THE STREAM. !
_
The wittiest man in the world j
is undoubtedly the father of the
girl a man would like to marry— j
judging at least from the way aj
man laughs at his jokes.
Naturally enough, dear friends1
are expensive.
Oh, yes, there’s any amount of j
honesty on earth. Honesty that I
hasn’t been used.
If only there existed a bank
for the cashing of dream-checks,
wouldn’t this be a world of bil
lionaires!
Strange that we, who wouldn’t |
trespass on our neighbor’s prop
erty for anything, will trespass
on their privacy without the
slightest hesitation.
Truth and poetry are not irre
concilable. For instance, when-i
ever a poet makes rhymes about
his poverty it’s the truth.
Talk of idealism versus mate- j
alism! One onion can fetch more j
tears than ten tragedies.
UNANIMOUS AT VAN BUREN.
Van Buren, Ark., April 2.—
The county convention met here
