Men and women who are not'ehurch goers rejoice at the. coming of Easter. All feel a decided uplift when they stop' to think why this great day is celebrated. They feel a pur ity t hat malces better people of them. And in all our acquaintance we have never found a per son, even though he claimed to be a non-believer in Deity and Christ ianiiy, who was not inclined to dress up on Easter. The mere fact that one dresses up on that day is evidence of belief, i'ronoiinecd cleanliness' and neatness have their place in Christianity. And today this glad Easter morning when the world h at peace, it does seem that the life of Mini Who arose from the tomb has a wider influence over humanity than ever before. Jt does seem that Christ's teachings are leore and more being adopted in some form y the people The inward prayer, the pure and noble thought which always a prayer is taking hold as it. never took hold i efore. Men and women are walking in their religious lives daily. They are breathing Christianity and believing in that oft-told but ever-sweet slogan "1'eace on .Earth,! (iood Will Toward "Man.'' In La (irande today the church bells will summon you to worship. Let everyone who can attend some church. lint if it is not possible, then let your mind dwell upon 1h .Master and his great work, for this is His day.

Such was the program of the writer Thurs day evening. The five hundred game was go ing good,, everybody was in the hole and tickled to pieces because of the fact; they were bidding like high-grade miners at Tono .pah, never thinking or caring of final scores. Kvery baud was a game, just as X. K.A est used to announce with considerable pride at the county fair that every heat would be a race. Anotlu'rliand was dealt and such a hand, three aces, a couple of jacks, with two kings and a iucen. it looked like a winner and .Mabel's bid indicated that her hand would swell the victory, to a "sweep" and then, what happened Looking toward the door of our home we saw the venerable old A. J. Martin, 0.-W. store-keeper, and at the same instant the 0. W. band ol" forty-eight pieces broke . forth with its best selection. 10 very card fell to the floor no more cards not then. For an hour we all enjoyed the sere nade so generously given by this band which has won its spurs as a decided factor ill Union county's life. Manager Ifidenaur was in high glee, and from his heart, he uttered the senti ment of the entire band in his greeting speech for the whole program was an entire surprise to the writer. It was planned to show the band's appreciation of the part The. Observer took in opening a subscription list so that La (Irande people could contribute to purchase uniforms for the organization. After the s'econd selection the band entered our home and we had real music the kind that makes 1he spinal column chase itself it) anil down for quite a while. Director Cald well seemed to have about every piece of. mu sic on tap worth having and we listened to Suiisa and the rest of the big composers. Af ter a U'ood, old-time visit, touched up by a black ir.'ickmaii cigar, the half hundred musi cians batle us good night and good luck, leav ing us to ponder over the pleasantries of life. The. occasion was refreshing beyond descrip tion. It brought to our mind the words "grat itude'' and 'appreciation." Some people think these words have long since died, but they have not. For the small part The Ob server and its force played in starting the uniform fund and for the large part La (irande people had in subscribing to that fund every member of the band is profound ly grateful, as the event of Thursday night thoroughly demonstrated. The uniforms are fine. The manager made a good selection of material find style. Henceforth the O.-W. band, will appear in public dressed as it should be dressed, and the public will be proud of the organization's appearam-e, as well as of its excellent music.
