Easter Celebration by Christ Church
sunday School.
Many OF the Sabbath schools converted
their annual celebrations into Easter
celebrations and held them yesterday.
Christ Church sunday school held its cele-
bratIOn in the afternoon. The classes
marched in singing at $3.50 p m. The
pews on either side of the middle aisle
were reserved for the school, and the pews
on the south side were reserved for the
Sunday school OF st. Johns Church. The
attendance was very large. The floral
decorations were not prOfuse but were
handsome, and the air was laden with
their sweet fragrance.
Within the chancel was a large floral
harp and overhead three floral bells were
suspended. Red and white roses were
mostly used. Some other beautiful
blooms and few graceful ferns made up
the rest of the floral display. The songs
by the school were: brightly Cleans
Our Banner" There is JOY To-day"
Ring, Ye Merry Bells" Easter Flowers
Bloom Again" Christ the Lord is Risen
Again." and "HOly Ghostl Come Down
Upon Thy Children" The creed and the
Lords prayer were recited and an
Easter anthem was chanted.
During the exercises the several classes
presented their Easter offerings for the
Episcopal Orphans Home. The flowers
presented will be used to-day to decorate
the soldiers graves. There were twenty
three classes exclusive OF the infant
division, which is divided into six classes.
Nearly every class Is named after
Bishop. The following Bishops have
namesakes: G. NJ. Williams, Mackenzie,

Fishing IN Georgia waters,

In the MORNING NEWS Of April IS it
was stated that DR.. IL. II. Cary, State
Superintendent Of Fisheries, had been in
the city for the purpose of appointing fish
wardens, whose duty it will be to see that
the laws in regard to fishing in Georgia
waters are enforced. The law says no
shad or migratory fish shall be caught ex-
cept between Jan. and April 20 OF each
year. Thatis well enough; no one thinks
of commencing TO fish for shad here in
Savannah river before Jan. IL, and by
March 30 all fishermen in this locality
have quit. AS regards the closed time
from Saturdays sunrise to Mondays sun
rise all admit IL "a wise measure.
But now the Doctor includes IN his list
OF migratory fish fish that has his home
here in all the waters, both fresh aud salt,
and that is the sturgeon. The sturgeon
only leaves these waters when it gets too
cold for it and returns as soon as the
water attains the right temperature.
The sturgeon is hardly ever seen here
before March 20, and as April 20 closes
the time, the time TO fish for that fish is
too short. In this market the sturgeon is
to be found all summer, selling at retail
az ABOUT cents per pound, the cheapest
article Of nutritious food that can be had
In the line OF fresh meats. / suppose that
IN the state OF Georgia there are hundreds
OF persons who earn a living for them
selves and families by fishing for stur-
geon, and thousands of people, mostly OF
the working classes, who consume il.
Must all these be deprived Of a staple
article OF food and OF earning living?
Several other States impose license on
fishing, some only on non-residents, but il
DR.. II. II. Cary is correct we are alto
gether prohibited 10 fish for sturgeon as
IL will give US only one mouth In the year
TO fish in, and nobody will think OF fitting
out an expensive rig for such short
time. A FISHERMAN.

SOME LATER HISTORY.

During the epidemic OF 1876 the lodges
founded a relief association which did
much good work in relieving the sick. AS
sistance was also rendered TO other cities
whenever they were IN need, as Chicago
after the great fire, Memphis during the
plague, Pensacola aud Shreveport when
their citizens were suffering. In
August, 1881, the Grand Lodge again
met in Savannah, Thomas A. Askew,
OF Oglethorpe, was Grand Master. The
last branch Of Oddfellowship instituted in
savannah was Chatham Uniform Degree
Camp No. 1, on October 10, 1888. David
