"Jesus Christ is risen today Ever
since that fair morn in Palestine these
words of joyful import have continued to
re- echo adown the centuries, filling the
hearts of His faithful followers, as in days
of yore. with the same comfort and glad
ness. Easter Day dawned clear and bright
and at an carly hour many devout wor-
shippers sought the sacred sanctuarIes
there "to keep the feast, with the unleav-
ened bread of sincerity and truth Fra
grant flowers, joyous music, hearty SER
vices and earnest discourses on the resur-
rection were the features of the various
churches. So universal has the custom
become among all denominations, even
the little A. NJ E. Church in the Grove"
nearby was adorned with fair spring
flowers. To the emotional nature of the
colored race the beautiful significance of
this custom appeals very strongly.

Last year or 1901, basis for assessment
was made on SSH ,4O4, 772, thus showing
an increase of 1914 900 in favor of 1902 as
sessment The districts that made the
largest gains were Evansville, Bladens-
burg, Rent. EVANSVILLE, Green Anne,
Laurel and Spaldings'
The new assessments for 1902 amounted
to about $4,000. but by reason of insol-
vencies, caused by fires, removal Of secu-
rites, etc. few of the districts lost
rather than gained The tax levy Of SO
cents on the one hundred dollars at first
glance seems to indicate extravagant man
agement of county affairs, but when we
consider that the item to repay bond
money and interest on same, amounted to
$13,75O, which means about IL cents on
the levy for taxes, it will be seen that the
lew of CSC less 13c would be only S5cts,
which would compare favorably with any
county in the state, that owns and con
trolls its own highways.
1t must be borne in mini als) that one
fifth of the total levy is applied to roads
under the new law.
The outlook for this county for the
coming year was never brighter than at
this time. The building of the electric
raad from Berwyn to Laurel, the electric
road to Annapolis, the extension CT ex-
pansion of the Baltimore and Potomac, as
we'll as the continued impro vement of the
Chesapeake Beach, this added to build
ing season, never so far advanced at this
season of the year as now, means very
large addition to the assessable basis for
1908. Taken as a whole Prince George
is now looming up as a strong rival for
first place in the grand old commonwealth,
