Unique Gift
for Easter

& Z EASTER time the people of
- Patrick county, Virginia. fire.
quently send to their friends
unique gifts. In This county, about GER
tain beautiful springs and the clear
streams flowing from them, are found
quantities of small stone crystals in
the form of perfect crosses. They are
mixed with the gravel and pebbles of
this limestone country.
More remarkable still, the crosses are
found in various shapes-the plain Ro-
man cross, the square maltese cross,
and the Greek cross where the crystals
interpenetrate each other at an angle
of 90 degrees. This last is the most
common form, but it is not so pleasing
when the stone is used as an ornament
because of the twisted appearance it
gives, although the structure itself is.
very interesting, resembling a double.
cross. Sometimes three or even four.
crystals are grouped together
The crystals are six-sided prisms.
and in simple form appear in an en-
velope shape complete as to the point
ed flaps even. The scientific name of
the material is "staurolite," or Gross
stone" the name staurolite coming
from the Greek words meaning cross
and "stOne."
The girls of PatEtck county wear the
cross in place of a locket or pendant
on gold or silver chains. The stone is
comparatively soft and a small gold
screw is inserted IN the cross and the
chain passed through a projecting ring.
Sometimes those who live in this val
ley search for crosses that match in
size and make a long necklace of the
stones themselves. The crosses vary,
in size from an inch to two inches in
length.
The writer has a fairy stone Of the
popular Roman style, presented by the
finder, who picked it up on a Patrick
county farm. It has a dull brown color
and looks as if it might be a bit of rich,
dark wood from the altar Of a church.
The color varies from a reddish or yell
l0wish brown to black or gray, but is
uniform in each individual stone.

CONTINUING Ancient Custom

The woman who appears Easter
morning in her faYorite pew with a
perfect dream" of a nat and a gown
fresh from the confines Of its basting
threads is simply repeating the atti-
tude of devotion assumed by her sister
of the church in the early centuries of
Christianity. Gregory Of Nyssa, in the
last days of the fourth century, wrote
wildly Of the gay and joyous crowds
that in his far bishopric honored the
festival of the resurrection with bright
and fresh attire, as their Oriental
minds dictated. The manner Of the
celebration has had more permanence
than Gregory's writing. There is to-
day a wider circulation of milliners'
bills than of the > pious books.

Easter "Joy''

TRUEL critics may insist that the
name Easter is of pagan or
igin: but, be that as it may, the
"Joy" which comes with the day OF
Resurrection is purely Christian.
The Harvest Home and Thanksziv-
ing day festivals may be- enjoyed and
hOnored by all who have faith in Su
preme Being, or Creator, but Christ
mas and Easter point directly back to
the Worlds Redeemer, the Goldman
Christ Jesus.
Easter is the queen of church feasts.
1t commentaries the greatest of all
yictories-the triumph of life over
death.
If writes st. Paul, "Christ be not
risen, then is our preaching vain, and
your faith also is vain"

HHE first day of the week cOmeth
Mary Magdalene early, when it
was yet dark, unto the sepul-
cher, and seeth the stone taken away
from the sepulcher
Then she runneth, and cometh to 81
mon Peter and to the other disciple,
whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them,
They have taken away the Lord out of
the sepulcher, and we know not where
they have laid him.
Peter therefore went forth, and that
other disciple, and came unto the sep
ulcher.
SO they ran both together: and the
other disciple did outrun Peter, and
came first to the sepulcher.
And he STOPPING down, and looking
in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet
went he not in.
Then cometh Simon Peter following
him, and went into the sepulcher, and
seeth the linen clothes lie.
And the napkin that was about ms
head, not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped in place by itself.
Then came in that other disciple
which came first to the sepulcher, and
he saw, and believed.
For as yet they knew not the Scrip
ture, that he must rise again from the
dead.
Then the disciples went away again
unto their own nome.
But Mary stood within at the sepul-
cher weeping: and as she wept, she
stopped down and looked into the sep
ulcher.
And seeth two angels sitting, the one
at the bead, the other at the feet,
where the body Of Jesus had lain.
And they say unto her, Woman, why
weepest thou? She saith unto them, Be
cause they have taken away my Lord
and / know not where they have laid
him.
And when she had thus said, she
turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was
Jesus
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why
Weepest thou? whom seekest thou?
She, supposing him to be the gardener,
saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne
him hence, tell me where thou hast laid
him. and I will take him away.
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She
turned herself, and saith unto him.

Death Of Mrs. Ellen HOlladaY.

Last Thursday afternoon at o'clock,
the subject of this writing, after a
long illness crossed to the other side in
the presence of all her children Her
demise was not surprise. as she had
been lingering between life and death
for Several weeks.
Some months ago she went to Louis
vile, and in st. Anthony Hospital she
underwent an operation for a chronic
trouble, and ina few weeks she re-
turned home, her children and friends
entertaining hopes of her ultimate re-
covery, but they were doomed to dis
appointment. The old trouble again
made its appearance, and she gradual
ly grew weaker until the end came.
She was the oldest child of E P.
and Bette Waggener, and was born
and reared near Columbia and was
about fifty-nine years old when death
came
She was lady who read much and
was very intelligent, a comfort not
only to her children, but all those
with whom she associated, and her
death and the tender admonitions CIV
en- by her, will linger for a long time
in the memory of those who loved her.
She will not only be missed by her
children, who are 'now bowed in sor-
row, but her brothers and sisters will
not soon be associated with her like.
She was married to Mr. John Hol-
.laday, Mch IA, 1878, and to this I'M
ion was born six children: Mrs. J. W.
Walker, Mrs. G. B. Yates, Mrs. En-
pest Flowers, John, Nark and Ar
thur Rex Holiday, all of whom are
now living in this county. Her hus-
band died several years ago.
The deceased made a profession of
religion when young girl. united
with the Baptist Church, living de-
voted Christian until the final dissolu-
ton.
Religious services we're held at the
home Saturday forenoon, conducted by
Rev. o. P. Bush, many relatives and
friends being present. The interment
was in the Columbia Cemetery, the
floral designs being beautiful.
All Columbia extends it's deepest
sympathy to the children, relatives
and friends.
