events for the Tontitown people. The Festival of Easter had brought a great many visitors from far off and from the neigh boring places, notwithstanding the rumor spread that small pox had invaded our town. The church was we'll crowded, but the most perfect order was kept all during the service. The deeora- tion of the altars and all around the church was simply grand. Mir. and Mrs. Neale had worked for several days in painting and gliding the altars and the mould ings of the sanctuary. Miss Rose Bastianelli decorated the altars, from whence between the most beautiful flowers hundreds of lights were burning. The choir, under the leadership Of Miss Belinda Bastianelli, gave us a solemn and devotional music, as- sisted by the orchestra of Tonti- town. Rev. Fr. Bandini, during mass, delivered d very instructive and practical sermon on the Resurrection, and all the people who took part in the impressive ceremony of Easter service were highly pleased.
