ceS of the Ladies' Aid Society, Mrs. p.

ber Of children attended the hunt.

In the course of his sermon SUM-
day morning, Rev. r. Tracy Walsh,
pastor of the Church of the Good
Shepherd, Episcopal here deplored
what he characterized as the grow
ing tendency toward the improper OBJ
servance Of Easter and disregard Of
tho fact that it should, be one OF the
most sacred days of the year by reason
that It is the anniversary Of the res
direction Of Jesus Christ from the
dead. He read sentences from Easter
cards circulated through the mails
and gave illustrations Of the improper
attitude ,of people inclined! to regard
Easter observance as q .day of great
holiday rather than in a spirit Of Wor-
ship. and prayer. Special music was
held in connection, with the services
at the Episcopal church. There was
an unusually large congregation in at

No negro is going to run away with
the colored nurse employed in the
household of Sheriff Fred E. Quinn Of
York county, if the sheriff can prevent
it and the sheriff usually can. Good
nurses are very scarce. 4 negro man,
Haskell Davidson, who lives near York
vile, where he is said to have a wife
and children, tried to do it yesterday;
but all he. got for his effort was q cell
in the county Jail. The colored nurse,
Annie Youngblood, a negress about ID
years old, had It all made up yesterday
morning to run away with Davidson.
They had planned to go to Salisbury or
Winston Salem, y. c., where lots Of
colored people from this section go. A
kinsman of the Youngblood girl saw
her going to, the station with her suit
case all packed and he suspected that
something was wrong. Their somebody
told about the Davidson negro persuad-
ing her to go. The sheriff and Consta-
bic Johnson were advised a short time
afterward. They tracked the runaWays
to Rock Hill, and there they found
them seated in the home Of friend In
the colored quarter. Haskell went to a
cell in the. jail and Annie went back to
the nursing job.
- Yorkville is to have city hall
which will cost complete about $4,000,
according to plans drawn by Julian b
Starr. architect of Rock Hill. CITY
council has already decided to build the
city hall and the proposition will DE H.
nanced through a building and loan as
sociation, which has agreed to furnish
the money. The city hall will be
two-story brick structure, according 10
present plans, an auditorium with a
seating capacity of 500 occupying the
second floor. This auditorium Will be
equipped with a commodious stage ana
dressing rooms. Quarters Will oe pro.
vided in the building for large council
chamber in which police court will also
be held, offices for the city clerk ana
treasurer; chief Of police and the su-
perintendent of the town water, light
and power department. While plans
for the new building have not yet peen
fully decided upon, it was learned yes
terday that the city hall was practl-
cal certainty and in all prooaoillty con-
short time. That the need for munlc-
ipal building here is great, there is no
ulestion. Present quarters for the
town are cramped and crowded and
wholly unsuitable for municipal pur-
noses. It Is also pointed out that the
stage and auditorium with which the
now building is to be equipped, Will Ill
a long felt need in the community.

discourse, however. was centereo
around the life, cruciiXion and resur.
rection of Jesus Christ. He said that
