respectfully the favor of its publication.
On the 10Th mst.,our people, old, young.
small and large, assembled at Meeks'
Spring, a point near this place, to cele-
brate, in a manner most appropriate, the
day. which, of all others. our race, in this
country, should, with thankful hearts, cell

General contributions from our own
people, enlarged BY generous ones from

Addresses were in order as a part of
the days programme.
The first being paper read by Miss
Louise Meeks; subject, Education and
the Social improvement Of our Race
She was styled by our folks The Queen
and wore that royal name through the
day, insisting that the hOnors should be
divided with the next speaker, Mr.. John
Hayden, who modestly accepted for her
sake,the title of king" Following in the
order named came the speakers K. Il.
Roach, D. D. Hayden, West Coleman,
Richard Bacon and others, all speaking
on the same subject, and agreeing in SEN
timent that confidence in our home people
(white) should be the expressed and prac.
ticed motto of our race in the south,
White visitors were invited TO partake
of dinner, and, all accepting, were served
in accordance with their supposed choice
at a separate table. Harmony prevailed
throughout the day, and closed with the
best of feeling existing between all par

FOR WOMEN ONLY,

Black tulle tabliers embroidered with
colored beads appear.
Beaded gloves are anovelty which are
promised us for street wear.
Triangular jets are very stylish for
trimming all sorts of head gear.
White chenille embroidery and Roman
pearls are the trimmings of bridal
gowns.
Chenille and beads are worked in eff
fectively together on the new founcing
laces.
If the hair is worn high a bonnet
must be small to form the apex to the
monument.
Silk skirts of every hue, fascinating
with their different trimmings of lace,
are shown to cover the maillots.
Beaded silk stockings are pretty
enough, but woe betide the wearer if any
one should accidentally step on her
foot
A bright ribbon, gauze scarf, or
trimming with lace, transforms last
years costume into a new one to all in
tents and purposes.
Single fiat and raised designs in silk
passementerie are very effective in trim
ming the fiat panel tabliers now so much
used.
Silk cashmere comes in many of the
pretty new shades. Stripes or spots in
chenille appear on all of the novelty
dress goods.
The claque or opera hat will be worn
during the spring. Little trimming ex-
cept band and a bow on the side can
be worn on these hats.
Black grenadines with beaded designs
woven into them are to be among the
most elegant of the new fabrics and for
summer wear the beading when woven
in has the great advantage of being dur
able.
In Paris it is quite the thing to trim
wool and cloth dresses with these beaded
garnitures; but as yet we have not used
them for such purposes. The coming
season will, however, see handsome
worsted materials trimmed with fancy
beads in all colors.
A pretty variation of the wearing OF
ribbon about the neck is to run ribbon
a quarter of an inch wide, or even mar,
rover, around the throat and passing
the ends out through two horizontal
button-heles in high linen collar, and
tying them in a diminutive bow at the
front of the neck.

SENATOR RANsoM's STORY.

THE ORIGIN OF A wELL-KNowN NORTH

pine-wOOd towns, was a rough, half

spelled without the it needed to make
it a name. Every one could see that

finally the landlord took him up, and of
course the man lost. He stayed on,
however, a week or two; but finally
packed his bag and called for his bill.
The place was too slow for him. The
landlord gave him the bill Sl6O. The

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
We are now in the midst of the most
joyous festival of the year, not even ex-
cepting Christmas. Christmas comes
with the hOar frost, snow and ice. To
the poor it is always a season of suffer
ing and sorrow; but Easter cheers our
heart with sunshine and flowers, max
ing the children of men glad in every
cline, that Christ was indeed born
again. On every hand we hear and
read Of increasing skepticism of the age
but not in the memory of living men on
the American continent has there been
such general observance of Lent; or
such reverential respect paid to the
duties of Passion week; or such joy
ous recognition of the glory of Christ's
resurrection, as We have witnessed up
to the closing of this Easter festival. 1t
was not alone in the churches, that un-
usual interest was manifested; stores of
all classes caught up the general en-
thusiasm, and the tribute of flowers to
Chrst's resurrection has never been
equalled in this city. 1t Is well that it
is so, even if Darwin and Huxley and
Spencer are right. If we evoluted from
nothing, and the fittest are bound to
survive, the world is better for His hav-
ing been, who on that Easter morning,
eighteen hundred and fifty years ago,
rolled back the great marble slab from
the doors of the tomb, and walked forth
arrayed in robes of light-transfigured
to all eternity, as the symbol of peace
and of mans redemption. Some OF
these learned gentlemen tell us, that the
whole story is a mOnkish fable, and
presently we shall begin TO doubt il
| there ever was Mount of Olives, or a
Garden of Gethsemene, or the Way OF
Sorrow, or the Heights of Calvary, OI
even Jerusalem itself. The crescent
4 flies above the threshing floor of On, and
the Moslem stands guard by the rock
where Jacob saw the angels ascending
and descending in his dream; but to the
millions of little ones who gathered
around the altar on this Easter morn in
every christian land, Christ is as much
living presence as when he preached
upon the Mount of Olives or stood trans
figured on the side of Calvary.
On Good Friday, not a respectable
theatre was open in New York ol

the suspension of theatrical perform
