J. WALTER STAPLETON CALLED
HOME
On the morning of April the tenth
our litle city was greatly shocked by
the sudden death of our brother J. Wal
ter Stapleton. Air. Stapleton was six
ty-five years of age, being the eldest
son of the late Colonel James Staple
ton. The Stapletons are among the most
prominent families in Jefferson county.
Our sorrows are deep because we
shall miss him so much not only in
our church, but also in the town and
community at large, and our hearts go
out in sympathy to those who must ever
see his vacant chair and miss his kind
words of comfort and cheer. We can
only point them to the one who is too
wise to make a mistake and too good
to be unkind. To know brother Staple
ton was to love him. Hi* will be
missed by rich and poor alike as he
never turned a deaf ear to a worthy
cause.
Beside the many friends to mourn
his loss he leaves.a widow and four
children as follows: Mrs. W. V. Wal
den of Grange, Mrs. S L Price of Por
tal, Air. Willis Stapleton and Miss
Julia Stapleton, and three brothers
and two sisters, Alessrs. James, Albert
k and John Stapleton, Mrs. J. W. Pil
cher of Stellaville, Mrs. Leßov Smith
of Bartow. May the blessings of God
rest upon the bereaved family.
The funeral services took place at
the Stapleton Baptist church Friday
afternoon at 2 o’clock, conducted by
the pastor, Rev. L. F. Walker, assist

Gaster fires j
Easter fires, established in 1
honor of the sun, form a fea- 1
i
ture of Easter observance in ;
some parts of Great Britain,
where bonfires are quite com
mon in early spring. Effigies
of Judas were annually burn
ed in Athens on Easter Sun
day until the government pro
hibited it.
Frazer in “The Golden
Bough” states that about 100
years ago the custom at Al
thenneberg, in upper Bavaria,
was as follows: On the after
noon of Easter Saturday boys
collected wood, which they
piled in a cornfield, while in
the middle of the pile they set
up a tall wooden cross all
swathed in straw. After the
evening service they lighted
lanterns at the consecrated can
dle in the church and ran with
them at full speed to the pyre.
The first to arrive set fire to
the heap. No woman or girl
1 might come near the bonfire,
! but both could watch it from
; a distance. As the flames rose
I the men and lads shouted, "We
| are burning the Judas!”
