They have occurred to gether. though, severs! tiroes, and will again, once in 1008 The customs in vogue at Easter time are as many and as varied as the races who indulge in them. The use of eggs at the season is evidently symbolical of the revivication of nature, and the dyeing in colors may he representative of the bright-hued flowers and vegetation which come with the springtime With all civilized nations Easter is a season of festive enjoyment and general rejoicing over the resurrec tion to a new life. EAMTEK. The joyous Easter tide has come round to us again with its accom paniment of sweet flowers, bright sunshint-, singing birds, and new clothes. It is the season when every heart is thrilled with new life, when field and forest are gay in “flowers yet fresii with childhood;” when “blue-eyed April, smiling,” chases away the rulliati blasts of blustering March, and when all things animate betoken the fact that nature has arhcn from h-^r wintry sleep with •'breath all incense and cheek ail bloom ” It is also the season when nature seems to infuse in our bosoms a kindred spirit to her own, which in spires us with a desire to renovate ourse 1 vee and adorn our bodies with new and gaily-colored clothing. The E ister girl is now in net giory and toe aiguc of Her in all her fresh spring loveliness is surely enough to make a “young man’s fancy lightly turn to thoughts of love.” E ister is rather unique among the world’s festival seasotio in having its origin maimed hy many different nations. Our name of the day is de rived from “Ostara,” the Teutonic goddess of spring, whose name signi fied “The Arisen”—a mythical being in whose honor the Haxons of old were wont to hold festivals at about the same season in which the Chris tian festival of Edbtrr occurs. In the ancient church the celebration lasted {eight days. Later it was lim ited to two days. The occasion was probably more properly and strictly observed then than it is now, at leas; In this country. Alms were dispensed to the poor and needy, who were often feasted in the churcber; slaves were given their freedom; people saluted each other with the Easter kiss, and the exclamation. “He is risen;” hi d the season was one of general re joicing. The Druids, a religious sect in Britain before the Homan cor quest, held yearly a spring celebration in honor of the vernal resurrection of the vegetable world, and religious rites formed a part of the ceremony It seems that the word “Easter” is peculiar K> English speaking nations only, and that the Christian festival was combined in early days with the •till earlier ceremonies of ihe heath en goddess of spring. For some time the anniversary of the resur rection of Jesus and the Feast of the Passover were celebrated on the same day, as the Hebrews found in the in cidents of both some significances which seemed related to one another. The prooer time for the celebration of Easter has occasioned no little controversy, and it was a matter for dispute among the ancient churches for a long period. The council of Nice in 325 A D. finally decided the matter in favor of one of the most popular usuages at that time, which, while not determining upon a certain date, eettled the point that it was to be held on a Sunday. It was later established, about the time of the in troduction of Gregorian Calendar, that Easter day would always be on the first Sunday after the full moon which happens upon or next alter the 21st of March. If the full moon happen on a Sunday , Easter is‘the Sunday (after. It is said that one object in ar ranging the day by the calendar It is singular how some people can fool other people so long. It was Lincoln who said, “You may fool some people all the time, and all the people some time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” There never was a local community where that trite saying applied with more force than'it does right here in Gaffney. We can put our finger on some people who would rather misrepresent mat ters than to tell the,truth about them, and we can point out people who would try to make you think all that glitters is gold even when you can de tect the brassy odor. What we need is more men of honor and integrity; men who will do what they promise to do if it takes the coat off their back and the bread from their table. Gaff ney has some men like this, but my ! my! there are ten to one of the other kind. DEATH AT RAVENNA. Roll of Company A. The following is the roll of Com pany A. 18th Regiment 8. 0. V. William H.
