Judge Arnold Has Large Crowd To Wit
ness His First Marriage Ceremony.

Judge Clayton Arnold was called up
on last Thursday to perform his first
marriage ceremony. Judge Arnold did
rot hesitate when called upon to tie the
ruptial knot, but did it in a manner
that was very surprising to the crowd
of court house officials and others who
had gathered in the court house to wit
ness the act. Just as he was starting
off Mr.. Keg Mason informed him that
the couple did not have their hands
clasped and Judge Arnold, not knowing
but what it was an important part of
the ceremony, stopped and had them
clasp hands, and begun all over, per-
forming beautiful ceremony, which
caused HIM to be the recipient of many
congratulations,

A Correction In Regard To Easter Sun.

We published last week an article in
regard to Easter, which we have found
to our sorrow was vastly inaccurate,
and in many respects incorrect. This
article wa" clipped from an exchange.
and we failed to verify the authenticity
of the information, in our hurry, relying
upon the correctness of our contempor-
airy which we found to be sadly lacking.
We will endeavor to correct the error
by giving the following facts, which
were obtained from an absolutely re-
liable source. Easter Sunday this year
will be on APRIL 18th.
Easter is an ecclesiastical festival
commemorative of the resurrection of
Christ, 1t originated in the circum-
stances that Christ was typified by the
paschal lamb, ordained by Moses to be
slain at the Feast of the Passover, the
feast being considered as a continual
ton, in its fulfillment of the Jewish
festival. Formerly disputes arose as
to fixing Sunday after the 2lst of
March to be observed as Easter. By
the Gregorian Calender, it comes on
the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens either upon or next fol-
lowing the 21st of March.
The full moon in question this year
happens on Friday April 10th, hence
Easter will be upon the following Sun
day, which is April 18th.
About forty days preceding this full
moon was a time of fasting in the
church, being observed as period OF
humiliation, which was called Lent"
During this period but one meal day
being eaten, the cost of the additional
meals being donated to the poor and
needy. The beginning or first day Of
Lent this year will be February 25tf
and is called ''Ash Wednesday" from
an ancient custom of sprinkling ashe.

Lancaster Shivered Friday The Thirteenth.

Lancaster received its first general
show storm last Friday. 1t made US
think of other snow storms as nothing
more than f1urries, and persons with
business out on the street found con-
ditions the most disagreeable of what
has been considered very mild winter.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday still held
us snowbound and many were heard to
say it all came about through that

Bro. Barnes Body Buried In Danville
Last Sunday. Brought From
Florida.

The following taken from the DAN
vile Messenger will prove interesting
to many Lancaster people, who cherish
the memory of Brother" Barnes as
he was lovingly known in Lancaster
and Garrard county, where he had con-
siderable following and a host of friends.
MRS. Della Boyle received telegram
last night, from Mr.. Will Barnes, stat.
ing that the bodies of his parents, Rev.
and Mrs. Geo. o. Barnes, mad been
shipped from Sanibel Island and would
arrive in Danville tomorrow. AS stat
ed in The Messenger, several weeks
ago, friends of the famous evangelist
decided to exhume and remove the
bodies to Kentucky. They were buried
at Sanibel, the home Of the minister.
at the time of their death several years
ago.
Upon arrival in Danville, the caskets
will be taken to Bellevue Cemetery and
placed in vault. On Sunday after
noon, at 2:30 o'clock, the bodies will be
buried. There will be no elaborate
service, simply prayer and some songs.
These are the plans arranged today,
and there is little possibility of a
change.
George o. Barnes was most widely
known evangelist Kentucky ever pro
dncad RaUinpinU his work in the
mountains of the State, news of his
wonderful results soon spread, and he
visited many other States. He also
went abroad and spent several years.
He was always accompanied by his
daughter, Miss Marie, who was sing
err of great ability. The couple carried
with them a small organ, used to ac-
company their songs. They sang only
the familiar old songs, the congrega-
tons never being asked to join with
them. Mr.. Barnes was originally a IL
censed minister in the Presbyterian
church, but some of his ideas did not
conform with the church, and he drifts
ed out to himself, his motto being
''God is Love and Nothing Else.
George o. Barnes was man of great
mind, and his work reached many peo-
pie who would otherwise have never
given any thought to their souls well
fare. He was Mexican soldier and
born and raised in Lancaster"
