had charge OF large class of small boys
and girls in the Smyrna Sunday School,
gave to it, in her home, an Easter Egg

Easter was observed In part at least in
Smyrna Church last Sunday at II 80 a. N.
The church at the end where the chancel
is, had few ported plants in way of dec
Grafton. That is what ID meant above
when it is said, In part. The beautifying
by the subjects Of Flora's kingdom was
necessarily quite meager, as the long
continued cold weather had kept back
nearly all Of the open-air flowers, aud 9TH
ers could not be obtained. The good Ia
dies did all they could with the material to
be had, The early hours Of Sunday were
quite cool, calling for cloaks, overcoats and
other wraps; yet, later it developed into
a beautiful, ideal day for the usual Gel
ebration, A pretty large crowd collected
at the church, and at the appointed hour
the pastor Rev. j. c. Chandler, from the
passage Of scripture. Rev. /: II, lS, gave to
his attentive hearers an appropriate SER
mon. At its close, a special Orphanage
Easter Collection was raised, Of $3.50.
Mrs. R. L. Kirkpatrick, Of Honea Path,
after spending few days with the family
OF her son, Dr. T. o. Kirkpatrick, returned
to her home Monday.
Mrs. R. H. Moseley, who has class Of
boys and girls in the Smyrna Sunday
School, gave All Easter Egg hunt ut her
home Monday evening Of this week. All
were delighted.
Mrs. w. w. Thompson went to Easley
Monday and there attended the meeting
OF the Piedmont District Convention OF the
U. D. C.'s. She was sent as a delegate
from the Savannah Valley Chapter, Of this
place.
Mr.. E. NJ. DuPre, Of Seneca, stopped
over heIe Wednesday for few hours with
his kinspeople, who were glad indeed to
see him. He, as many people in the coun-
ty know, is a son Of the late Prof. J. F C.
DuPre OF Clemson College, and who was
for many years well known and so highly
esteemed and honored in old Abbeville.
Mai. J. G.. Huckabee took railroad trip
Of few hours last Saturday.
The change that for a short time had
been expected in the postoff1ce manage
ment in this place, took place Wednesday, |
when DR.. j. B. Moseley, the sometime
postmaster, turned over its affairs to the
new appointee, Mrs. Delma B. Tucker.
DR.. Moseley had been for some years an
efficient, painstaking, obliging and popular
officer and all would have been glad to
have had him continue to serve, but the
powers that be thought otherwise. The
Doctor leaves with as clean record as it is |
possible for anyone to have. Mrs. Tucker |
takes charge, and not word is uttered in
disparagement of the new appointee, but
the writer believes that he but voices the
sentiment Of all who are served with mail
matter from this offlce-that the same en-
couragement, confidence and assistance
will be extended .as cheerfully to the new
as was given to the old management.
