Tribute to Mothers

When Rev. Mr.. Sunday gazed out
over the vast audience which greeted
him at the mothers meeting Thursday
he paid the following tribute to the
mothers and the city:
Il consider this a wonderful tribute
to the mothers, when one-third Of the
population of this city will attend a
meeting at this time of the day. want
to thank you all for coming. I want to
thank every merchant who closed his
store in honor of his mother, and every
manufacturer who gave his employees
a half holiday in honor of his mother.
want especially to thank the presi-
dent Of the school board, Mr.. T. 4.
WATSON, and the members of the
board, for closing the schools. In too
many places our schools are controlled
by bunch Of bullet-headed, weaseled-
eyed rat-hole politicians who use the
schools for political purposes"

There Is possibility that Evangelist
Sunday may make his revival cam
paign one OF six instead Of five weeks.
II he should the evangelistic services
will continue thru the first week of
June, ending on Sunday June s, in
stead Of May 80.
Mr.. Sunday said last night that he
was considering the question, and al
tho his agreement with the committee
ended with Memorial Day, he might
decide to remain another week. Mr..
Sundays decision will depend largely
upon the progress of the revival during
the coming week. If the interest does
day probably will not stay, but should
there be a marked increase in both in
terest and converts, and Mr.. Sunday
feels that by staying another week he
would be able to accomplish more, he
will stay the sixth week.
In case Mr. Sunday does remain an
6ther week he will preach his first SER
mon to women only at the tabernacle
on Monday night, May 81.
Mr.. Sunday Is not at all satisfied
with the results of the revival so far,
and believes that with the efforts that
he has put forth there should be more
interest in the meetings on the part
of the church members. While Mr..
Sunday does not enter any open COM
plant, it is known that he believes that
the revival will never be a success any,
where until church members and pro-
Tossing christians get out and get TO
work. The converts will come when
they do this and not before.

Dealers Sell Immense Number Of
White Carnations for 'Mothers' Day.
When Evangelist Sunday announced
his Mothers Day" meeting several
days ago. he both suggested and re-
quested that everybody wear a carna-
Eon or some other white flower, If
possible, in honor Of his mother, and
If not a flower q bow OF white rib
bon. Mr.. Sunday added that he was
not advertising the Marshalltown for
dsfs, nor expecting a 'rake-off' from
tHeir sales, but his announcement
proved a mighty good lad" for the
dealers just the same.
The demand for pure white flowers,
particularly carnations, far excelled
the supply and greenhouse men began
receiving orders the next morning at
ter the Mothers Day" program was
announced.
Kemble's greenhouse filed one order
for 500 white carnations from the SOL
diers' homo and so many orders thru
out the city that the supply was ex-
hausted long before the bottom Of the
list was reached. The house had plenty
of white roses and other white flowers,
but the demand for carnations far ex-
ceeded expectations, hence none were
ordered from outside sources.
John B. Simmons had large sup
ply of carnations. Easter lilies, tulips,
and white geraniums, besides white
badges. Over 1000 carnations were
sold, $50 of them before 8 o'clock
Thursday morning and the supply ran
short. The demand for the other varie-
ties was not so large but the sale was
much greater than anticipated. All the
white badges were disposed of and 200
more could have been sold.
w. II. Ford sold 1000 carnations or
dered for the occasion from Chicago,
besides his own supply and still had
a demand for more. Other white flow
ess were disposed of in large quanti-
ties.
Many people, being unable to secure
carnations or other pure white flowers.
wore apple and cherry blossoms.

CENTRAL CITY is
visited BY fire.
Damage to Amount of $4,-
800 Wrought by Flames.
Barking Of Dog Gave Alarm at
Geo. Woods Home-Couldn't
Find Hose Reel.

Central City, KY, Nov. 26.-Cen-
trail City was visited by fire at an
early hour Friday morning that in a
few minutes destroyed three dwell
ings, entailing a loss of about ST.
900. The fire originated in the home
of Assistant Chief of Police George
Wood, supposedly from a defective
flue. The barking Of the family dog
alone prevented the family from be-
ing injured, as he barked and
scratched on the door to awaken his
master, who in a half awakened con-
dition called to him to be quiet. The
dog grew louder with his walls and
Mr.. Wood realizing that something
was wrong arose and opened the
door to find the entire rear Of the
house a mass of flames.
Quickly closing the door TO shut
off the flames from the front of the
house, he commenced to carry out
furniture and to call for assistance.
The house on the east side of the
burning building was soon in flames,
this being the home of NJ. F. Moore.
After the houses on either side
were Attire, the new hose reel, secured
a few weeks ago, and which had
been placed in such a secure place
that 1t could not be located, came on
the scene. The hose was adjusted
and two streams of water were play
ing on the fire. Willing workers did
good service and the house of Bud
Fortney, distant only about six feet
from the burning dwelling, was
saved.
Had the fire department been To-
Gated earlier in the morning the fire
would have been confined to the
dwelling in which it started. It
would have been possible had the
bucket brigade formed 10 have saved
one or both of the houses, but the
men expecting to have the hose, with
which to fight the fire, came without
their buckets.
As the result of this mornings eX-
perience a fire department was or
ganized tonight, there being many
volunteers and there will be nightly
drills until the company is perfect
