EAST END,

The day was rushed in by a coll
rain and q stiff wind which blew East
er that's and rigging "out of sight
making Overcoats and wraps more
comfortable and those who had crush
ed" the Millinery Stores all the weel
preparing for Easter were "left" on &C
count of which many remained a
home, and others. because of the in
clemency of the day so that ouI
Churches were not crowded" as usua
on this occasion.
The Methodist, and Trinity Church
es were each beautifully and Hastily
decorated with the most choice, anC
beautiful flowers of Spring, which
formed a striking contract to the raw
day without. And interesting pro.
grams had been arranged and the
Choir in the Methodist Church was a
it's best. The Sermon was of course
suitable to the occasion.
The Music was superb and the Con.
gregation was attentive and enjoyed
the Easter services. This ends another
glorious Easter Tide making one more
mile post toward vi immortal home
GRAND SPRING
Last Thursday and Wednesday were
ideal Spring days and the ladies
through the Emporiums of fashion
each day, going from one Store to
another, taking in the grand display
of goods 30 attractlvely arranged.
Each Of the three Stores. The r. M.
Haddon Co. Philson Henry & Co.
and The Smith Dry Goods Co. were
most attractive indeed they were also
pretty, we could not discriminate ss to
their beauty, nor conld we find any
customer or eye witness that would
say which they thought, was the
prettiest and most attractivey arranged.
The Millinery department in each
were gardens of beauty presenting a
fairy scene that beggars description.
The openings were a grand success
and our Merchants were amply repaid
for the extra trouble and work by the
hundreds Of pretty visitors that thron
ged their stores, and last, but mol
least by the splendid sales.
We must make special mention of
The Philson Henry Co.'S Easter win.
dow which most artistically arranged
and presented a beautiful picture Of
the approaching Easter Tide.
Mr.. L. T. Miller the City Grocer
had grand and magnificent display
of all sorts of canned goods, and good
things to eat, and judging from the
visitors who kept up a continual
stream to and from bis store each day
we would say his display was highly
appreciated and was q great success
even beyond his most sanguine expec.
tations.
