The automobile craze has struck Swedes-
boro with good deal of force. In our
notes OF last week we mentioned the fact
that two new machines had been brought
into town; and now two more have been
added to the list William F. Lawrence
and Al. Hendrickson purchased fine autos
lass week. We now boast of six machines
and there are more to follow. No doubt
automobiles are good things to have, but
then you can't Bid farewell to every fear2
when you start out in one, even to go to
Atlantic City on Easter Sunday, for you
may get cast away on your trip down, and
spend your Sunday not many miles from
bone; or you may reach the resort all right
and be stranded on the return trip and have
to reach home by old fashioned horse power.
You never can tell.
The Easter services on Sunday in our
churches were interesting and appropriate.
At Trinity Episcopal Church the services
were held at 7.30 and 1880 a. N. and ?
p. m. At the regular morning service
special and fine music was rendered, and at
the afternoon service there was baptism of
children, and the taking of the young peo-
pies Easter Offering for missions. The
church was decorated with Easter lilies and
palms. At the Methodist Church the pas
tor, ReY. Peter Provost, preached an excel
lent sermon to large congregation, and in
the afternoon the Sunday-school held a
pleasing service with good music, scripture
readings, recitation and an address by the
pastor. The new Sunday-school orchestra
assisted with the music At the evening
service the pastor continued the subject Of
the morning, The Resurrection of Christ,
and the choir rendered two fine anthems.
The church was tastefully decorated with
potted plants and cut flowers. At the Pres
byterian Church there was an appropriate
Easter sermon by Pastor O'Brien, and
special Easter music was rendered. The
Baptist Church held it's regular services,
and there were pretty floral decorations.
The services at St. Joseph's Catholic Church
began with the o'clock mass, and were
largely attended and appropriate. The
music was fine, and the church prettily
decorated.
