MOTHERS DAE SERVICES.
Appropriate Sermons at the Baptist
and Episcopal Churches.

In his sermon last Sunday Rev. J. B..
Pruitt, Of First Baptist church, taking
his text from John 10, 1921. paid q
glowing tribute to wOman's influence,
especially at the fireside with her chill
dren. He sketched the lives Of the
women Of scripture and Of the early
church, and gave them honor for the
undying work performed by them for
religion and civilization. The service
concluded with a beautiful solo THE
Old Fireside," given by Mrs. Pruitt.
In st. Johns Episcopal church the
rector, Rev. S. Moran, preached from
the text ''He sat down on his throne
and caused a seat 10 be set for the
king mother, and she sat on his right
hand "
Mr.. Moran pointed out that in plac.
ing his mother upon his right hand King
Solomon had done a most royal honor to
woman and placed her on an equal foot
ing with the highest authority in the
land. This is her rightful place. and as
the king stands for Christ, the head Of
the church, so woman Is the head of
that other powerful and divinely APP
pointed institution the home. Here
are brought out her highest and most
enduring qualities, and from
hence 60 out her strongest, purest in
fuence for the uplifting and ennobling
Of the nations.
At the end Of his sermon Mr.. Moran
recited the following beautiful poem
written by Joaquin Miller, and entitled
Soldiers"

On the maps of the world you will find

Nay, not with cannon or battle shout,

Tallahassee Has

Fig Product and Needs
Utilization.

The luxuriance Of the fig tree and its
smazing prOduetiveness, are sources of
comment BY every person who visits
Tallahassee. The yards and the fields
and the fence corners throughout this
section are full OF them. There are fig
trees In Tallahassee fifty feet in height,
and which annually produce from ten
to thirty bushels of fruit.
We do not believe there is a section
Of country IN the wLrld where this
choice fruit attains greater perfection
than In Western Florida. II properly

mine to this section, for our impOrta-
ton Of figs into this country amount TO

The climatic, and other conditions in
West Florida, have lead TO the belief
that figs-the finest in America--can be
raised right here in this part of the
State. numerous ig trees are to be
found in all sections Of the city and

those who have made a study of this

TALLAHASSEE, April "a, 1909.
Mr. c. r. Smith, Editor Gulf Coast
Breeze, CrawfOrdvile, Fla.
Dear George-Being one Of the con-
slant readers Of the Gulf Coast Breeze,
want 70 express my appreciation of
the good paper you are giving the peO-
pie Of my Old home county, and to thank
you for the many expressions Of good
will towards me.
Wakulla county and her people are as
dear to me now as wDtn boy romped
over her fields, fished in her rivers and
hunted wild ducks on her coast. In
fact, have never been able 70 leave
those ducks alone, and there is no pleas
ure that gives me more genuine salts
faction than q duck hunt in the creeks
and bay Gus Of the Gulf along the Wa
kulla coast.
In my bOyhoOd, youth and early man
hood, spent many happy days in old
Wakulla, and formed many pleasant
associations that / have ever cherished.
shall always cherish the pleasant rec
objections, fond remembrance Of my
life in your midst, and while live to-
day beyond the confines Of your county
line have always had deep interest
in the welfare Of your county and the
prosperity of your citizens.
rhe people Of Florida ave been good
to me in q political way, but attribute
no small amount of my success TO the
loyalty and devotion OF my friends in
Wakulla county, who have, at each re-
curing election, stood out so strongly
in favor of my retention in the public
service.
For many years | knew Wakulla
county IS "HOme." / shall never
know her people except as my friends.
wish for you the greatest success
your profession. and hope that with
ch succeeding Breeze there will come
bigger advertisements and more Sub.
ribers. and better patronage gener-
y.
Your efforts deserve it.
Very sincerely yours,

The crater of Mount Elgon Is about
Il. 200 feet above sea level. believe
am right in saying that ElgOn b the
largest known volchQo IN the world.
The superficies Of theN whole mass Of
Elgon il about equal 10 the area Of
Switzerland IL Is almost &c though
Switzerland were concentrated into q
single huge mountain mass. The crE-
ter IL perhaps thirty miles across.
Many caves are found around the cir
cumfersnce Of Mount Elgon at an av-
erage altitude Of 5000 feet and at the
bottom of abrupt terraces. think the
caves were formed originally by the ac-
ton Of water, bat undoubtedly they
have been enlarged by the work OF man.
They have been inhabited for q period
OF unknown length. In fact, there are
vague indications that Elgon was q
great trading resort In quiet ancient
times that between Hamites and ne
groes Egyptian trade goods coming
from the Land Of Punt (SOmaliland)
reached Mount Egon, where they were
exchanged for the products Of the for
est negroes. We have also evidence
that the blue beads which have been
dug up there, and which are sought for
~ great rarities. are Of ancient Egyp-
tian origin.
Waterfalls are a very common fea-
ture along the terraces OF ElgOn. They
form splendid cascades, and In nearly
every case they make q cave. / am
inclined % think that the cave repre-
sents the original channel Of q stream
which has been blocked by lava rock
an / the stream eventually flowed over
its closed canyon.
Passing under a 2OO.fOOt cascade Of
water we fiud the entrance 20 a dry,
comfortable cavern. Thus the entrance
20 the cavsman's home Is completely
masked from the outside by q stream OF
water. In several cases the entrance
20 the cave has been defended by rude
stOckade, with huge stones piled on top
of branching bOughs. There are re-
mains IN France and other parts OF Eu-
rope showing that the cavemen Of pre-
historic times adopted almost the same
method Of restricting and defending the
access 70 their caverns. One taseIHat-
