Easter services will be held in the
Methodist Episcopal church Sabbath
morning and evening, March 18th.
The subject of the morning sermon
Will be 1.-The Resurrection Of Christ
In the evening the official program,
"Our Worldwide Methodism," will
be rendered by members of the SAIL
bath school. This program consists of
singing, Rotations, responsive read
ings and essays, all of which will be
illustrated by the use of seven large
maps. This is our annual Easter mis-
slonary service, and at its close col
lection will be taken for missions. All
are cordially invited to be present.
We quote the following section from
Vol. Hills Code, Sec. 22l: "Every
person who shall in any manner OBJ
struct any public highway. turnpike,
plank road, or bridge, or injure any
material used in the construction OF
such road or bridge, shall, on convic-
ton thereof be fined in any sum not
exceeding five hundred dollars" And
we will say further, that If the fine is
not paid, the person convicted will be
placed at hard labor in the county Jail
until said fine and all costs are paid.
Prosecuting Attorney King informs us
that he intends to enforce the above
statute to the letter, and that he will
prosecute any person violating the
same to the fullest extent of the law.
We commend his stand in this matter,
as there can be no excuse for anyone to
interfere with or modest the public high
ways and roads anyone who does 50
deserves to be vigorously prosecuted,
al they no doubt will be.
The funeral services held at the
Valley church over the remains of
Hattie Mortified, the fourteen-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Stafford
Merrifield, were largely attended by
sorrowing friends, a great many being
compelled to remain on the outside on
account of the lack of room. Rev. J.
w. White, at times chOked with emo
ton, preached a very impressive SER
mon. The large attendance showed
the esteem with which Miss Hattie
had been held among the people gen
orally in this county. She was of a
jolly disposition, and even when clouds
party of friends, her witty sayings and
pleasant smiles would always dispel
them. The saddest part of all was
that the mother, through sickness, was
unable to attend the services. There
were a number of floral offerings.

of the girls parents, sylnpathize with
