Easter services.

The Easter services at Christ Church
were joyous and impressive. The
floral display, though not profuse. was
very beautiful, and the music was I'M
usually fine, At the evening service
the Rev. Mr.. Westover preached his
farewell sermon, basing his discourse
upon ii Corinthians, XIII, II. In the
course of his remarks he offered some
practical considerations and sugges-
tons for the future welfare of the Par
ISL, in which he should ever take a
great interest, and gave the following
statistics of the work accomplished
during his Stay here of two and one
half years: Baptisms 70; Marriages s;
BuriaIs z, and nine persons were con.
firlned. There was large congrega-
ton present, and the Rev. speakers
remarks were listened to with evident
interest.
Appropriate Easter services were
observed at the Congregational
Church. The sermon from the text,
Colossians Ill, l, set forth the fact of
Christ's resurrection and its effects on
individual believers. Music specially
prepared for the occasion was we'll
rendered, and the display of plants
and blossoms was unusually attract
i've. AT the evening service the sermon
was devoted to a memoir of the apos-
tate Mr.. Demas, spoken ofby St. Paul
TO bis fiiend TimothY.

calling a county convention to choose
candidates n some of our county cleo

for verv many years no county con-
yentlons have been held to nominate

committee called a convention with
out public expression demanding It,
there might be much complaint. The

tention there being 5 candidates,

Having been requested, through
the columns of the Bulletin to
ascertain the elevation of Dunlap
Springs, and the practicl b ity oil
bringing the water to Bolivar, so far
as could be determined without a
full and complete survey, 1 have
done so. Assuming the elevation
of the surface of Spring Greek, at
the upper levee, to be 0, the eleva-
ton of Dunlap Springs is 22.1 feet,
of lower corner of Bright's lanyard
22.5 teet, and of spring in lanyard
34.6 feet. This shows that the
water, allowing fail of 6 feet, would
readily flow to some convenient
point, in the suburbs of Bolivar,
z or s feet, above the overflow from
Spring Creek.
would suggest, as a convenient
place, which could be easily beautl-
fed the foot of the hill on the StatIer's
Ferry road in the SwInebroad field
which is not more than one third of
mile from the court house, and is
easy of access. The above figures
also show that the idea of bringing
the water into Brighrs lanyard,
otherwise than by force, must be
abandoned. However this bcauti~
tut and much desired location could
be reached at a comparatively small
additionly cost by inserting an
hydraulic ram at Macon's Mill.
l haYe also made an examination,
though not an instrumental, of the
proposed pipeline route, and found |
no very serious obstacles to It's con-
struction. AS to the probable cost
no near approximation can be reach
ed until after complete survey off
the route. After due consideration |
and inquiry, my estimate for a dis
lance of D miles, for inch terra |
Gotta pipe 2 feet under ground, is
5000, 4 trife as compared. to the
great benefit that the water would
be to Bolivar and its citizens.
