n. c.. Dun & CO.. Report Southern
Business Looking Up.

DuNAHSSS AOOtAAHB OUs
NEW YORK, April Or. G.. Dun g.
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Commercial conditions have improv-
ed somewhat during the past week, al
though there is still much to be desired.
Dispatches from the south are most en-
couraging, special reports on hat sec
ton having been secured from branch
offices of X. G. Dun & CO., which testi-
fly to increased business and more
prompt collections than are found else
where. At the east more seasonable
weather prevailed, yet spring trade is
Btill below normal. The best news of
the week was the settlement of many
labor controversies, or at least rcsump-
ton of work pending arbitration. If
the local building struggle is over there
will be full employment for thousands
of wage earners and u large demand
menced, although not rendering idle
nearly as many hands as have resumed
work.
Wheat receipts of 2,315,S06 bushels
for the week compare with 2,545,63 3
bushels last year, and exports of
1,490,63S bushels, flour included, are in
significant when shown in comparison
with 3,415,523 bushels last year and
3,S49,970 two years ago.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for April aggregated
81, $50, 745, of which $605,14 were in
manufacturing, $906, 1872 in trading
and $21S, 1872 in other commercial lines.
Failures this week numbered 235 in
the United States, against 1917 last
year, and % in Canada compared with
10 a year ago.

How Rare Plumage Is Spoiled.

In spite Of all the money spent on
clothes and the miles of shop windows
devoted to the display of feminine wear

are to be met with. The lovely fabrics
that bask behind a pl~ate-glass window
too often lose their attractions in their
transition to the pavements, when they
appear at the wrong time on the wrong
woman in the wrong hat.-Madame.

Installation of New on ieeFs of Epworth LeaEue-Brief Address sss by Dr. Baker,
 mr. Driver and mr. Lo&ze.
 Last evening the Epworth league of the First M. E. church held it's instaIla- tion services. The opening hymn was "A Charge to Keep Have" followed by prayed by William Bawden; re- sponsive reading. psalm, Tn Israel is God Known" and hymn Nearer My God to Thee.''
 pr. Baker then said: It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you your new president. George Driver. He will Young Christians
 MT. Driver spoke as follows:
 "Who are young Christians? It in- cludes us all, for one of the richest facts about Christian experience is that in the service of Christ life is ever renewed and preserves it's freshness and charm. But those of us who, like the members of our Epworth league, have just begun to follow Christ cannot tell of the help ing, saving power of Christ as fully as can you who are older and have known Gods love longer. Not only does Christ redeem us all from the bondage of sin, but in the case of young Christians es- pecially He shows us how we ought to live. By His words and by His exam pie, by His precepts and by His life so divinely lived before our eyes, He re- veals to us what we may become. He stands as the test of our lives, always calling us to better, nobler and more transcendent achievement The great est tribute paid Gladstone is that he was a great Christian. This should be the ideal for all and is possible through Christ. But more important still, Christ helps us live the right life His example we see. His presence we are conscious Of, His power we feel. Entering into our lives he Helps us bear our burdens, and withstand sin and temptation h. deed, as for Christopher of old, there can be no higher or more beautiful thing in life than to serve Christ and to feel His power and love drawing us day by day nearer to perfection and to God"
