Mr. L. V. Hall is now manufacturing
forced concrete brick on his premises
in Columbia and is in position to sup
ply the local demand with the best and
prettiest brick ever seen in this part of
the country. Nothing in the form of
brick has never been made in this Sec
ton that will compare with the class
Mr.. Hall is now offering to the people.
Being made of sand and cement they
are as durable as the rock of Gibralter.
The finish is as smooth as a pressed brick
can have and any color desired can be
secured. This is an industry long need
ed in Columbia, and we trust that Mr..
Hall will receive liberal patronage. If
you need brick call and see him.

EASTER SERVICES.

The exercises at the Methodist Church
last Sunday forenoon, in commemora-
ton of the risen Savior, drew a large
audience. The pulpit had been appro-
priately decorated for the solemn and
impressive services, and the sermon de-
livered by the pastor, Rev. A. R. Ka-
sey, was sublime, the points presented
told in most touching manner. The
music was appropriate and rendered
most admirably by the choir. The solo,
rendered by Miss Hattie May Penland,
assisted by Mrs. C. M. Russell, organ
list, and Mr.. Elem Harris, violinist, was
beautiful, and the rendition has been
highly praised by many who were III
the congregation.
