Only nine times in two and a
quarter centuries has Easter fallen
as late as it does this year. Only
five times in this period has it
come later in the spring than it
docs in 1905 and it is not possible
for it to fall more than two days
later. In all the time from 1TS6
to 2013 there is not one occasion
when it falls later than April 25
and only twice does it come on
this day of the month. During
that period it comes three times
on April 25 , and four times on
April 23. Ex.
Col. George W. Bain lectured
Monday night to c , fair sized audi
ence in the M. PI church. The
lecture was good and well deliver-
d. Col. Bain is a fluent speaker
and has gathered a world of know
ledge to talk about. He learned
arly in life that to be a lecturer
was to be a constant student and
we feel sure that we speak the
nth when we venture the asser
tion that Col. Bain never slighted
lis subject nor failed to interest his
audience. His subject upon this
occasion was , "The Searchlight oi !
the 20th Century. " Various top
es were talked upon as a general
summary of the prevailing con
ditions confronting the American
people. This was the closing and
rowning feature of our lecture ,
course. j

Henry Borneman and his half-
brother were in town from Gordon
last Saturday on business.

Plant A Tree.
Saturday , April 22 , has been
designated by Gov. Mickey as Ar
bor Day. Everyone who has a
home should plant trees and shrub-
j bery for use or beauty for the
1 present and future generations.
i j Even those who live in rented
homes should take some interest in
beautifying their habitation. A
I i
better class of renters means less
t
, effort in securing a place to live in
if you decide to move. Every- i
body plant something.
Caution * Young
*
Newark , N. J. , April 7. Young ,
ministers today were cautioned by
Bishop Joseph E. Berry of Buffalo
ab the Newark conference of the
Methdist Episcopal church to talk
v
sparingly of women and to make
their pastoral calls in the evening
when the wife was surrounded by
her husband and children. The
bishop declared that the afternoon
calls on women of the congregation
when the women were likely to be
alone should ey frowned on. lie
declared that the confidence placed
in ministers admitted them to the
homes of the best families in the
land and that anyone who violated
this confidence or betrayed it in
any way was not a minister but a
scoundrel. State Journal.
Ts Hand bins.
Some business men have an idea
that handbills and dodgers are
superior to TICWS papers as adver
tising mediums. Handbills are
good in their way as auxiliaries ,
but they are no more to be com
pared to the advertising columns
of a newspaycr , says theDansville
Advertiser , than a pushcart ped
dler on Broadway is to be compar
ed with John Wanamaker's great
emporium. The peddler attracts
attention for a moment if he be an
expert , but the great store rivets
the eye and loosens the purse
strings of thnse whose trade is
worth having. The handbill is
crumpled in the hand and soon
thrown aside. The newspaper is
carried home , read and reread and
filed away. There is something
besides the advertising there en
tertainment , information which
adds value to the advertising be
side which it is placed. Alvor-
