One of the most delightful events
of last week was the Easter egg hunt
Saturday afternoon, to which every
body contributed. The Methodist
church grounds was the scene of mer-
riment, with numbers of eager, joy
Gus little folks, and almost as many
grown-ups, hunting the Easter treas
ures that lurked here and there in the
gras and behind brush and tree. 1t was
indeed an eager crowd that spread like
wild-fre over the lawn. Soon eggs
were being found by the dozen. In a
short while, not bush or hiding place
of any kind was there that had not
been searched, and some of the little
hunters found as many as dozen
eggs. Little Miss Leverne Souter
found the golden egg which, she kept
as prize.

hearted, charitable and loved by all
