Ostrich feathers will be the most

Some ladies grumble because a
feather soon goes out of curl, but If
shaken for a couple Of minutes before
a fire it curls again as well as on the
day it was new.
"a good plan when wearing a long
plume on fur toque is to fasten the
feather In with a jeweled buckle 1t

be very wet, and bunch Of quilts
substituted.
"Ombre feathers are the most arts

old. colonial governor.
Tis suit, behind which were the Sons
of the Revolution, was one OF the
most novel and interesting ever tried
in the State. Deeds that had fallen
apart through age and had been re-
stored were brought in, and the old
est citizens who could be, found were
placed on the stand to substantiate
certain claims made.
In the will Of Benedict Arnoll,mad
in 17TS. which was produced in court
he solemnly prohibited the sale of his
burying ground and the access to it
1t was asserted in the trial that the
hurying ground was condemned with
the land OF Thomas Bannister which
the general assembly took from him
in 1854 because he was Tory. This
1t was declared, gave the State the
title to the right of way upon which
it based the proceedings
Judge Sweetland directed verdict
in favor Of Mr.. Johnston, ruling that
the condemnation proceedings coul'
not have included the burying grount
and the right of way in view of Bene

against selling 1t and the fact that
public policy must have been in those
days, as in these, against cOnflscat

Judge SweetIand held that the bury

be recovered through the action Of

1t has been the custom for sew
eral years to hold an all day sing
ing at the Harmony church, near
Sunnyside, in Lamar county, on
the second Sunday in each May,
but on account of a few things,
that church, at its meeting last
Sunday, adopted a resolution
that the annual all day singing
be stopped,and this is to serve no
tice to the public that there will
be no singing this year as usual.
We are doubtful as to the re-
suit of such a move on the part
Of a church. It seems to US that
If a few men or boys find that by
some mischief they can break up
a singing, the next move on their
part will be to break up a Sunday
school or force the church 20 close
its doors. 1t might be best TO put
a stop to the misdeeds, if the civil
authority had to be called on to
assist, and let the singing service
go on. A song service, when
conducted properly, is the most
beautiful of any mode of worship.
We read about the beautiful mu-
sic and singing in Heaven, but
we hear Of but one who prays in
Heaven and He is ever interceed
ing for US with the Father.
