Easter.

Now is Christ risen from the
dead, and become the first fruits OF
them that slept. This glorious
event is commemorated annually
throughout christendom on Easter
Sunday. The anniversary has just
past, and the different branches of
the church in Pulaski observed the
day in the usual manner-with
prayer and offerings, thanksgiving
and feasting. The churches were
decorated with flowers by the hands
Of women, such as those who
brought spices to the seperchre of
the crucifed Savior, and first heard
from angels lips the glad news that
the Lord lived and was not dead
by women who love the risen Re
deemer, as Mary Magdelene and
the other Mary did, and who, like
they, are jealous and faithful in
the service of the Master. The
representative of the apostles, who
were commanded to preach His
gospel to all nations, were also in
their places, to repeat to the people
the story of the cross, and to urge
them to accept that religion which
enables christians in trump to eX-
claim: 80, death, where is thy
sting! o, grave, where is thy victo

Money in Sheep and Chickens.

Cane voLente, sheep raising will
pay, and Giles county is the place
to raise them. Besides the profit
on wool and mutton sold at home,
there is a northern demand for
early lambs, that makes their sale
at paying figures a certainty. AS
much may be said of early spring
chickens. That our farmers may
be ter appreciate the opportunity
afforded them to make money by
shipping these products norths, we
quote from the Chicago Times:
1T is reported that a movement
has commenced in the south, which
should have commenced years ago,
for supplying the northern market
with early lambs and CHI ckens. No
farm products sell for so high a
price as these articles. They rank
among the most expensive luxuries.
To bring the highest prices, how
ever, they mnst be in market very
early. With our present railway
facilities it is comparatively easy
to bring lambs and chickens from
the south and to have them in
northern markets long before they
can be raised here, without great
trouble and expense. There is ev-
cry reason for believing that the
production of early chickens and
lambs for the northern market
could be made very profitable in
the south. With suitable care
they could be sent alive, and if the
weather is tolerably cool, they
could be sent after they are
dressed" There is no reason why
Giles county farmers might not
enter into the movement. They
have the advantage of those living
further south, in that the distance
to market is not so great. AS to
suitable cars" the railroads are
always ready to provide means of
transportation for whatever com
modify the people want hauled. and
if they havn t cars already would
soon get them.

1t is a tradition generally be
heved that we always have cold
spell about Easter Sunday. Last
year the weather was perfectly
lovely, and this more delightful
day than Easter / could not i'm
agine. Existence such a lovely
day is a luxury. The air is fragrant
and all earth is verdant with the
tender growth of a semi-tropical
spring; the earth is moist from the
recent grateful rain, and flowers are
bursting out in gorgeous beauty
everywhere. AS the old preacher
said of the strawberries, the day lis
too good for sinner"
VIM. j. Estus and Martha Ellis
were married Thursday evening by
DR.. Lock. The wedding got out
and excitement flew like a city fire
and nearly every man and boy were
there that were in town. The
groom, after the ceremony, got on a
goods box and thanked the crowd
for their attention. The parties are
quite young and it is entirely pos
sible for them to make an honorable
character and worthy citizens. Fri
day night some. boys with an old
bass horn and two bass drums
serenaded them, and it is said the
elder Estus cursed out the party in
a deeper bass. The marriage and
serenade furnishes much amusement
to the boys in an innocent way.
Young Estus, L think, is a clever
young man. Hope he will do well.
