Order to Fourth Class Post0flces As to
 Deposits Not of Moment Here.
 Discontinuance, of the Montgomery postoffice as a depositary for the postal receipts of the fourth class postoffices in this district of the State. will have no effect. whatever. upon the local office.
 Alabama was originally divided into three districts and Birmingham. Mont gomery and Mobile were made tho deporitaries of the receipts for the fourth class postofices. A recent order of the Postmaster General has made Birmingham the general depositary, discontinuing Montgomery ond Mo- bile.
 Postmaster Dimmicx stated yesterday that Birmingham had always been the pay office for all the rural delivery carriers of Alabama, and each pay day, the disbursements were greater than the receipts of the ofice, which made it necessary for the postmaster at Bir- mingham to draw on the United States treasury in order to make out the pay rolls By disseminating the other two deposftary offices and making the Birmtngham postofice the sole deposi- tary of the State, there would be enough money on hand to meet these pay rolls without drawing on the gov- ernment treasury.
 There is a great deal of work at tached to a depositary ofiice," said Post master Dimmick yesterday, and we rather welcome the change, for 1t lessens our work to great extent.

 Hurtsboro, June 7.--(Special. )--One of the prettiest weddings of the season took place at the Methodist Church in Hurtsboro Wednesday.
 The contracting parties were MT. Giles F. Walker and Miss Aliahmaude Thornton. The ceremony was made ex- Rev. MT. Bancroft of Midway.
 Mendelssohn's wedding march was played by Miss Annie Bertha Lee of Parrott, Ga. The bride was beautiful ly gowned in white chiffon trimmed in lace, She carried a shower bouquet of brides roses. The bridesmaids, Misses Nellie walker, Olive Thornton. Irene Pollard, Marie Powell. Adelle Walker and Emma Dudley wore elaborate iin- gerie gowns and carried bouqusts of pink carnations. MT. Edgar Tucker and MT. Henry williamson acted as ushers.
 Preceding the bridal party were two little ribbon girls. Misses Phylomat Davis and Amanda Moore. Misses Myrtle Lloyd and Allah Holmes strewed roses in the path of the happy pair. Nothing added more to the picture than these little girls in their white dresses with pink ribbons. The beau tifui new church was transformed into a garden with its white columns sup porting festoons of wild smilax, gar lands of asparagus ferns.
 Great banks of magnolias screened the organ and formed glistening green arches between the auditorium and the Sunday School room. Down the aisle small white posts capped by great punches of pink roses and tied with long pink ribbons gave character to the whole.
 Many handsome gifts were received by them.

That He could preserve those who put their trust in Him was shown by the fact that in every lh- stance the Hebrews were exempt from the nlagues which fell universally with their full weight upon the Egyptians
 If one or two plaques had come simultaneously with the demand Tor IsraeTs liberation, Pharaoh might have said nonchalantly, 'It is mere CO., incidence" but when nine had come in ascending scale as to severity ana the veneration in which the objects touched were held, and in eacn in- stance the Israelites had been entirely evemnt from the universal suffering, unon A mind more obtuse than that Of inc cultured monarch of the most civil Uzed nation of earth, 1t would have been borne in that the hopeless strug- gle was against Omnipotence. Pharaoh knew 1t; but he had so fought against the first inkling of the truth that his heart was hardened to resist 1t when 1t was fully revealed.

bitter endive reminded them at once of the severity of their captivity, and the turpitude of their sins; at the same time it made the roasted flesh of the lamb taste all the sweeter. Their yeastless bread was token of how free they were to keep themselves from the leaven of the world. A nation was standing still to see the salvation of God that night.
 What contrast the Egyptian homes presented! There was in each a cer- tain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation. The impotence of their gods had been revealed in the long tournament with the He- brew's God. They had no refuge, no eye to pity. no arm to deliver Egypt's apparent strength was really weakness. The Lords strength had a perfect manifestation in Israel's utter and re- sourceless feebleness.

 The Hebrew Church finely discrim@ inated between the accidental and tns essential in the Passover. The spats tened doorway, the sandaled foot. gird- ed Ioin, and stafr--these were the accidents. They were discarded after tbe first observance. The whole roast. ed lamb, bitter herbs. and unieavened bread these were the essentials.
