The Easter service at the Episcopal
I'hulrch was exceedinlvly beautiftul andl

ever held in that sacred veltice. The

nlliy hot hourn pliInMIs a ere so ar
ranged by the ladies toat they nmaile
the altar and sancltulary a pretty sight
to behold. 'the cnurlr r as crowded
to the doors, atnd there were several
who were comel,,elled to -lad through
the service. Rev. Mr. B)1htrg delivered
an eloquent sermon on the re-urrec
tion of Christ. lie % as listened to
aitll marked attenttion, and those whot)
heard it, pronounced it one of the best
sermons delivered by the Reverend
gentleman. The music rendered by
the choir was superb, and we doubt if
the singing could have beet, surpassed
in any church of the large cities. The
two solos aeudere'd by Miss Joe Male
Egelly were very tine, iand the young
lady's voice never sounded more
sweetly. The choir was composed of
M isa Ethel Egelly, organist; Mr. ii. P.
Kienitedy, vilii-t; ~liss Joe Maie
Egelly, soprano; \Mrl. J S. Guenard,
alto; Mr. S. B. Kenetdy, tenor; Mr.

Two handsome pieces of church
furniture, an eagle lecturn and prayer
desk, were used for toe first time at
morning service. The lecturu was
placed in the church by Mr. F. J.
Breithaupt in memory of his sister,
Mrs. Cecilia C. Benjamin. and the
desk to the memory of our father,
muother and sisters.
In speaking of these memorials, Mr.
Boberg said that they would be con
secrated on the next visit of the Bishop.
Mr. Boberg touched upon the subject
of memorials in general and suggested
to his people that the church was the
best place in which to raise memorials
to love ones passed away. Many peo
ple, lie said, spent vast sums in erect
ing monuments in cmnteteries, which in
a few sears were otten neglected and
forgotten, after the loving hearts that
had placed them there had also passed
into their rest. Mr. IBoberg then
asked the people to give other memo
rials, which were needed in the church.
Mrs. It. N. Rlea made an Easter offer.
ing of a beautiful set of emtbroidered
white silk book marks, which added
greatly to the appearance of the chan
cel decorations. Mr. B. F. Miller also
made an Easter offering of two nice
hymn boards.
The Episcopal Church of Providence
has received new life since Rev. Mr.
Boberg has been in charge (not quite a
year), and under his guiding spirit, it
will continue to grow.

QUICK RELIEF FROM PAIN.
All who use Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheumatism are delighted
with the quick relief from pain which
it affords. When speaking of this Mr.
I). N Sinks, of Troy, O()hio, says:
Sometime nigo I had a severe attack
of rheumatism in my arm and shoul
dtier. I tried nutnerous remedies but
got no relief until I was recomnmended
by Messrs. Geo. F. Parsons & Co,
druggists of this place, to try Chanm
berlain's Pain Balm. They recomn
iended it so highly that I bought a
bottle. I was soon relieved of all pain.
I have since recommended this lini.
iment to naIny of my friends, who
agree with me that it is the best
remedy for muscular rheumatistm in
the market." For sale at J. S. Gue

The Methodist Church was largely
attended on Easter Sunday and the
large congregation were treated to an
eloquent sermon delivered by Rlev. Mr.
l)eunou. The church was prettily
decorated with pot plants and it never
looked prettier than for grand Easter
dlay service in which we love to cele.
brate. The Methodist church has by
far the largest membership of any
church in town, and it has had some
eloquent ministers, and among the
numnber, is its present popular minister,
Rev. Mr. I)ensou, who is not only
liked by his entire cougregation, but
is held in high esteem by our whole
community.
The enterprise aid get up of "The
Famous" people, Messrs. Hamilton &
Klennedy, nlu their Easter display in
the big show windows, wasquite novel
and a big drawing card, which at
tracted the crowd last Saturday and
brought them trade. In one end of
the show window they bad two large
white rabbits, that had laid quite a
number of Easter eggs, and in the
other end of the window they had a
hen with her brewd of little chickens.
It was a pretty display and was con
sidered the best in town.
The Episcopal Sunday ScLool rally
at the Episcopal Church last Sunday
evening was quite intereeting. Sliver
medals were awarded to Hattie Eas
terling, Bessie Blackburn, Bessie
and Linder Easterling and Master
Amie Richard for knowing their les
sons and promptneess. Miss Adab
IRous, the organist of the Sunday
School, was presented with a pretty
ptrayer book and hymnal. Since Mr.
Frank Byerley has taken charge of the
Sunday School, it has advanced very
much, and will continue to do so under
his care.
The steamer Julia has withdrawn
from the Memphis and Vickabunrg

We regret to learn that Mrs. J. E.

Church will be repeated to-morrow.
The service is very pretty sad solemn.

The corps of enrgitneers of the Texas

Vidalia ont their way up tile river,anl
it is said will survey the road tc
Helena. It Is to be hoped that they
will keep near to the river so as to
come as close to our town as possible,
but we very much fear that if they
continue on the line as they started
out from Vidalia oil, and which the
Sentinel comments upon, that the
road will run several miles west of us,
It will be well for our property own
ers and business men to keep a close
eye on the owners or the projectors of
this road. There is no doubt that it
will not be built, and'we believe at ant
early date, and it will pay them to
have it to run as near as possible and
within the corporate limits. To do
this, iiducements will have to be
offered, or we might see the road per
haps six or eight miles west of us.
Au unknown exchauge says : "Who
is the home merchant? lie is the man
who helps to pay for your town im

your children are educated; he helps
sustain the church in which you wor
ship; he is the man who builds a house
which enhances the value of your
property; every subscription paper
that is passed has his name upon it;
his advertisement appears in every'
issue of the home paper; he is the one
who cannot afford to swindle you: he
bears his share of the goveriinment:
stays with you in sunshine and dark

and then stop and consider, whenever

Caught a Dreadful Cold.
Marion Kooke, manager for T. M.
Thompson, a large importer of flue
nillinerv at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue,
Chicago. says: "During the late
Revere weather I caught a dreadful
cold which kept me awake at night
and made me unfit to attend my work
during the dlay. One of my milliners
was taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for a severe cold at that time,
which seemed to relieve her so quickly
that I bought some for myself. It
acted like magic and I began to im
prove at once. I am now entirely
well and feel very pleased to acknowl
edge its merits." For sale at J. S.
Guenard's drug store.
