EASTER PROVES
HAPPY OCCASION

The gladstone time of Easter was
only accumulated in this community
on Sunday by the GLORIOUS sunshine,
the privilege of attending church and
worshiping the resurrected Christ,
the happy thought of the wars end
and the return of so many kakhi clad
lads to their homes. With this in
mind, the inhabitants at large turned
out in their best array and enjoyed
the pleasures such as each small
town may afford.
Easter services were held at elev-
en- o'clock in all the protestant
churches, and the Catholic church
service marked the close of the Len
ten season.
On Sunday evening, the members
of the Methodist choir gave an Eas-
ter song service under the direction
of Miss Margaret Burn who was as
sisted in accompanying the singers
by Mr.. Hovious Behen, violinist, and
Eldred A. Babbage, cornetist.
Rev. Williams of Louisville preach
ed at the Presbyterian church; and
Rev. A. N. Couch filled his regular
placei n the Baptist pulpit and like
wise did Rev. w. o. Richard in the
Methodist church.
The town was full of visitors, and
pretty young girls who were bearing
faces shining above their corsage bou-
quets, and from beneath the most
becoming Easter bonnets.
