EASTER SERVICES
At The CHURCHES

There were special services in the
commemoration of the Easter season
and the attendance of worshippers
was unusually larce at all of them.
The discourses from the pulpit were
direction and flowers were every
where in evidence to assist the speak
ers in proclaiming the risen Lord and
in emphasizing the miracle of nature.
The music was in accord with the Joy
BUSINESS of the occasion and was more
than ordinarily elaborate. At the
First Methodist church the pastor and
the Sunday school had charge Of
the service in the morning and choir
in the evening presented the cantata,
THE Risen King" Both services
were extremely interesting and were
attended by audiences that taxed the
capacity of the church. A feature Of
the morning program was a reading
by Miss Osborn of Pueblo. By re-
quest, THE Song of the Lilies" pres
ented at the morning service by seven
young ladies', was repeated in connec-
tion with the cantata in the evening.
At the First Presbyterian church
the Sunday school gave an Easter pro-
gram in the morning entitled, THE
Hope of the World" and in the even
ing the choir gave the csntata. The
Easter Allelulia." There were large
congregations on both occasions. No
less interesting and beautiful were the
services at the Catholic, Lutheran.
United Presbyterian. Baptist, Episco-
PAL and Christian churches. The at
tendance was everywhere exceptional
" large and generous contributions in
money were made by the churches
and Sunday schools for missionary and
general religious work. 1t is safe 70
say that Easter was never mord
universally and devoutly celebrated
in Canon City then it was on Sunday.
The enrolment of pupils in the vari-
GUS Sunday schools of the community
was in excess of two thousand.

The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1916-11-24

For the second time within the
span Of a week, Morgan City hears
with horror of an accident which has
resulted in the death of another of
her stalwart young men and valued
citizens. Late Thursday evening,
while returning by boat with a
crowd of co-workers from the scene
of their employment with the Wad-
ell-Williams Lumber Company on
the eastern outskirts of this city,
George Fernandez, employed as a
stenographer in the Office of that
concern, fell into the deep waters of
Bayou Boeuf and was drowned,
while his companions, unable to rem
der assistance, because of the dark
ness that created an impenetrable
veil between them and the dying
launch helpless to sense the catas-
trophe or to lend aid to the victim.
A searching party recovered the
body of Fernandez within an hour,
too late, however, to revive him.
The mill employers were returning
from their labors by boat, as is their
custom, after the days work was
done. From Rhoda, the site of the
Waddell- Williams mill, to Avoca an
uninterrupted run was made. At a
point near Avoca, the launch was
slowed down to permit one Of the
passengers to get off. He landed
near a barge load of cane. Standing
on the stern of the boat with a num-
Der of others and as the boat was
nearing the barge, it is said that
reached out for a stalk
of cane: He grasped it but the cane
was evidently fast to the barge and
the movement of the launch caused
him to be jerked into the Bayou.
The water at that place is about ten
feet deep. Wearing a raincoat which
probably handicapped him in his
struggles in the water, Fernandez
made a few swimming strokes then
sank from view and was seen no
more. No cries was heard from the
man and did he shout for
help the words were probably in
audible because of the noise created
by the exhaust of the gas engine in
the boat.
Knowing that their comrade had
fallen overheard, yet unable to
locate him in the darkness, the other
gentlemen on board were at loss
to tell his whereabouts. A negro
nearby in a skiff claims that he saw
the accident but that his skiff was
between the bank and the barge and
that he was thus prevented in reach
ing the place until Fernandez had
sunk from view. A searching party

was hurriedly gathered and before
an hour had passed the lifeless body
of the unfortunate man was dis
covered. The corpse was brought in
to this city and laid out in local
undertaking establishment, whence
it was taken to the Fernandez resi-
dence on Duke Street.
The loss of her devoted husband
prostrated the young wife. Happily
welded but about eighteen months,
the nineteen year-old widow of
young Fernandez has suffered a
paralizing sorrow which calls forth
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
city On the Threshold of a life Of
promise and with well-laid plans for
the future, Fate unfolds her hideo IS
arms and demolishes their house Of
dreams, laying waste to the fertile
field Of life which spread smoothly
out teiore them. 1t is undersrc I'D
that Mr Fernandez contemplated
leaving the city shortly for Natchi-
toches, La, where he had accepted
a position. He was a native of st.
Mary Parish and his birthplace was
at Centreville where the body was
taken this morning on train No. 5
for burial. The deceased was twenty
seven years Of age and was a highly
esteemed and honorable citizen.
Relatives and friends who had has
tened to this city on being informed
of the tragedy accompanied the body
and the sorrowing widow to the
scene of his birthplace where funeral
services will be held and the body
consigned to its last resting place.
The tragic death Of George Fer
nandez follows closely in the wake
Of the fearful accident which de-
prived Charles Lirette, another
young man held in high esteem in
this city, of his life. This death oc-
CURED on Tuesday evening Of this
week and resulted from injuries re-
ceived while the young man was per-
forming his duties as flagman on
the local railroad siding. With this
terrible mishap still fresh in the
minds of the community. the drown
ing of young Fernandez, coming
with shocking unexpectedness, has
intensified the gloom Of sorrow that
had already EMBODIED the city. Like
bolt from the blue sky, these
deaths have transpired and it is the
vivid example Of the passage that Gin
life there is DEATH forcing its
meaning upon the minds Of onlook-
ers, which causes them to feel deep
ly and keenly the great loss to their
citizenship and the uncertainties
which attend the seemingly safe
routine of existence as lived by men
in their walks of daily endeavor.

Last Twelve MonthS-Big
Contest Is On.
GIVE AWAY VALUABLE PRIZES

Thirty more Topeka homes have
been wired for electricity and made
brighter homes since the last ap-
pearaI ce of Current Topics.
Every unelectrified house in this

zation (churcn, social, fraternal or
otherwlse) that secures the largest
number of points in the contest by
May 31st, the number of points be-
ing based on house-wiring contracts
turned in.
A $50 bonus is to be given to the
individual scoring the largest num-
ber OF points in the same time.
Any one who contemplateS hav-
ing a house wired can ascertain eX-
actly what it will cost by telephon-
