Contrary to the Weather Sharps. Easter Was Bright and Pleasant.

Except for the air being a little too cool, Sunday was a beautiful day for displaying Easter finery, and the churches all had good congregations. Last Easter was the beginning of the big floods, and rain fell all day. "Rain on Easter, rain for seven Sundays in succession,’’ is an old adage, and last year rain fell continuously all day on Easter Sunday, and we had rain on five of the succeeding Sundays following, it will be remembered.
