Jefferson county has never had a
Judge since the creation of the cir
cult, although no Judge in the judic-
ial district has been elected or can
be elected without her vote. Jeffer-
son therefore is clearly entitled to
the Judgeship, and may be consid-
cred in the fight.-F'armers AdUo-
cate.
Well there are great many coun-
ties in this State, including two from
this Judicial District, which have
never had a Judgeship of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals since the
creation Of the State yet Jefferson
had it by appointment in 1875 and
1889, and by election in 1876, 1880,
and 1890. In this Congressional
District, there are fourteen out Of a
total of fifteen counties, which have
never had a member Of Congress
since the creation of the District; in
fact, Jefferson has had it almost exclu-
sively. If the theory ofthe above clip
ping 10 correct, our neighbor should
not only let up, but be made to dis
gorge, as she has encroached on 9TH
er counties great many times.
Still, we have heard nobody in this
county arguing that Jefferson was
not entitled to anything she wanted
because by reason of Judge Green's
Judge Lucas and VIM. L. Wilson's
long terms of service, this county
had been despoiled of its just share.
Berkeley has always been very liberal
in these matters, and cannot under
stand these direct movements on
the part of Jefferson, to give no
credit for the many honorable and
influential positions accorded them.

California has been terribly shak-
en- up by earthquakes to an extent
at least as to make the people afraid
of the next one. 1t is great pity
that the land of wealth, fruits and
well-tempered climate, should be thus
afflicted.

\ tie Il formed Church the SER
vices were held a. 6 and IL q. m.
and 4 and 7:30 p. M, respectively.
The pastor, Rev. j. A. Hoffheins
spent considerable time in arranging
for appropriate Easter Services, and
was eminently successful in pleasing
everybody. The early service was
participated in by pastor and con-
gregation, and was made up of the
days lessons, responsive readings
and BETTING festal music. The
opening CAT the Sepulchre," con-
tanned an organ prelude followed by
alto solo beautifully rendered by
Miss Faerie Fitz, together with So
prano and bass solos by Miss L.
Scheu and Mr.. F. d. Stalsy. In
this service and throughout the day
the choir was assisted by full or
chestra, consisting of Messrs. Darby,
Burkhart, Smurr, Staley, L. G. and
c.. D. Matthaei, Hoffheins and Boak,
together with Miss Emma Staley, as
organist, to whom is due much praise
for the success as far as the music
was concerned The TIE Deum in
Eb, heavy arrangement, contain
ing solos by Misses Kogleschatz,
Scheu, Fitz and Mr.. Staley, was
sung in the true conception of the
composer. At III o'clock Holy
Communion services were celebrat-
ed, "Christ, our Passover" being
the Introductory anthem. At 4
O'Clock an address was made to the
Sunday School, together with other
appropriate exercises. In the even
ing, the service was one of thanks
giving, and consisted of Scriptural
readings, responses and music. Some
of the days music was repeated, and
the hymns were OF inspiring nature.
A Duet by cornet and Eb alto was
played as an offertory, Mr.. H. D..
Burkhart playing the cornet, organ
accompaniment by Miss Staley. The
church. at each hour was filled with
members and visitors, and the at
tendance was never larger. The
most beautiful feature of the day was
the handsome and appropriate dis
play of floral ornaments, and during
the day when there were no services,
the church was constantly occupied
by people admiring their beauty.

Easter services of an appropriate
character was held in st. Johns
Lutheran Church, Sunday morning.
The Church was beautifully decoral-
ed with Easter lilies, ferns and
blooming plants being arranged IN

cal part of the program consisted of
a number of special Easter anthems
by the choir and a solo rendered in
a very pleasing manner by Miss
Clara Wolfes. The Lords Supper
was administered to large congre-
CATION and a number of persons were
received into church membership.
An Easter offering of over $40
was made for the cause of home
missions. At o'clock in the even
ing the Sunday School held their US
ual Easter exercise. The program
consisted Of Rotations by Harold

ior departments, responsive readings

EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

The Easter services at Trinity
Episcopal Church were of that I'M
pressive character which BELTS this
queen Of all the festivals. The altar
and font presented beautiful ap-
pearance. The ladies of Chancsl
Chapter, this year seemed to have
excelled their former efforts, for both
altar and font were exquisiteiy dec
grated with lovely flowers. The
large cross over the altar was form
ed of azalios with base of jonquils
all set in box and smilax. The font
was surrounded by palms and other
pottsd plants, the whole together
with the veil, white hangings of pull
pit and lecturn, combining to pro-
duce a beautiful effect. The ser
vices consisted of the stately ritual
of the Episcopal Church, morning
prayer, sermon by the Rector, fol-
lowed by the celebration OF the Holy
Communion. The music, under the
direction of Mrs. Virginia McSherry
and Prof. Brockenshire, was well
rendered by large choir. At 5

always digs them on the new moon, or as
near it as possible. His rule for telling
when they will keep is to grabble one GU, of
the patch, and break it in two, lay the
pieces on a stump in the patch all night,
and if in the m.rning lie finds the milky
substance hai formed gloss over the broken
surface he Dig. and 8 times out of 10 they
will keep with little trouble. But If he finds
that dark ring has formed between the
rind and the potato proper they won't keep,
no matter how hard you try to save them.
