The interioreof Zion P. E. Church pre-
sents just now an odd appearance, being
filed with scaffolding for repainting and
decorating, which will be more elaborate
than heretofore. Owing to the little use
for the side galleries, they have been re-
moved, and this with the decoration OF
the pillars will add greatly to the beauty
of the church, giving the benefit of the
high ceiling to the sides as well as to the
middle. There will be three or four tiers
of pews in the end gallery, which, extend
ing clear across the church, will give al
most as many desirable seats as were had
with the side galleries, the front seats in
those having been the only ones from
which much could be seen. 1t is hoped
to have the church ready for the conse-

not seated by the Senate. Col. Hurst, as
we understand it, is an aspirant for the
State Auditorship-a position he is we'll
suited to fill with credit to the State.
Should he be placed upon the State ticket
he would poll a,big vote.-Free Press.
Col. Hurst, as we understand it, has no
purpose of contesting in particular with
any one. The position of State Senator
is open Tor nomination and election, the
same as it was when Mr.. Shaffer was
nominated and elected, but not seated !;
and the friends of Col. Hurst, not a small
number by any means, think he is the
man for the place, and will give him a
hearty support, without any particular
: autagonism toward any one. Should he
be called higher and placed upon the State
ticket, ne would not only poll big
vote" but if elected would make first.

Bishop Coadjutor, the Rev. W. l. Gravatt,
beloved Rector of this Parish, was elected
to that high and holy office; we, the

record our endorsement of that action.
Be it therefore
Resolved, That, in the opinion of the
vestry, the Diocese is to be Congratulated
upon the choice made; and while deeply
deploTing the loss which will be sustained
by this Parish, we confidently believe that
in the person of Rev w l.. Gravatt the
Diocese will secure a wise. prudent and
faithful Bishop. His faithfulness and
constancy in the discharge of duty, with
unusual alertness in action his power to
attract and hold the attention of his hear
ers, and his prompt and ever ready sym
pathy will all combine to give to the chief
Pastor, the Bishop of the Diocese, an able,
efficient helper, who will stand ready at
all times to render him whatever service
1t may be in his power to perform. Be it
further.
Resolved. That the resolutions be spread

Ease and disease.
Il Short lesson or The Meaning of Fomaiar
Words

Disease is the opposite of ease. Web
ster defines disease as LACK of ease,
uneasiness, trouble vexation. disquiet y
1t is condition due to some arrangement
of the physical organism. A vast major
ity of the 'dis-ease from which people
suffer is due to impure blood. Disease of
this kind is cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which purifes, enriches and vitalizes the
blood. Hoods Sarsapariila cures scrof-
ula, salt rheum. pimples and all erup-
tions. 1t tones the stomach and creates
a good appetite, and it gives vigor and
vitality to the whole body. 1t reverses
the condition of things, giving health,
comfort and . ease in place of disease.

any time, but when fire bells are rung and
the people of Charles Town aroused

alarm almost at the dead hour of

reached and the town authorities should
take some action to prevent like occur
renee in the future.
