the current was too strong for the
brave Indian ferryman, who let
the flat drift down the stream.
Fortunately the young farmer es-
pied tree and as they passed,
sprang up into its branches and
pcrched there until he was res
cued by n boatman. His cattle
were landed on an Island some
distance below the ferry. The
fiat was taken back up the bank of
the stream by using the bushes
ana trees as levers against the
current, and it was placed safely
where the public can find it ready
for use.

VAN WICK ITEMS.

The Van Wyck Epworth League
had an entertainment at the resi-
dencc of j Nj Yodcr, last Friday
evening and some of the youth,
beauty and intelligence of our
community were in attendance.
Mr. and Mrs Optimus had a special
invitation to be present. The
heauX and bellies had on their best
looks and spent the evening very
pleasantly and may be profitably.
The music was fine, from an or
gan accompanied by three violins.
Those who took part in the exer-
cises acquitted themselves very
creditably. There was profusion
of flowers on every hand. rhe
beauX had button hole bouquets
and the bellies had wreaths entwln-
en- in their hair. The young
ladies thought Optimus needed
something to improve his looks
and pinned bouquet of lovely
yellow flowers ON his coat. Mrs
Optimus did not seem much
pleased with these proceedings
hut whether it was owing to the
color of the bouquet, or from an
imagined oversight of these young
ladies' in not entwining wreath
in her hair like the other bellies,
she left us to our own conclusions.
/ However, Optimus appreciated
his bouquet and wore it until ii
became very much faGed Mr.
and Mrs ODtimus both enjoyed
being with the young people and
were carried back to days of yore
when on such occasions the very
zephyrs seemed ladcncd with
youthful inspirations.
The young people decorated
Van Wyck church, beautifully
with flowers and ferns Saturday
for Easter services Sunday morn
ing. The inclemency of the
weather gave us small congre-
cation: but Rev S II Booth gave
us an able disos.ree>,-- tho r".,un--
rection of Christ.
Misses Iona and Emma Lee
Nisbet, Birdie Stephenson and
Clyde Niven, Masters Elwyn
Stephenson and Taylor Nisbet OF
Waxhaw came down to see their
Van Wyck friends and attended
