BROWNS IN BUCKET OF WATER.

Mrs. Berge McGhee, of Hurricane,
Putnam county, while playing about
the front porch, Monday, fell into a
large bucket of water which stood at
one side of the porch, and when dis
covered BY the mother, the child was
drowned.
The little one was playing about
the floor when last seen by the moth
er, and while she, thinking that the
child was safe, was busy about pre-
pairing the MONDAY meal, the babe
crawled out upon the porch, at one
side of which the bucket had been
placed to catch rain water from the
caves. The baby crawled to the side
of the porch, and fell into the buck
ct, and life was extinct when the
mother found it few minutes later.

MOTHER DAY.

Sunday, May S has been designat-
ed by Governor Glasscock as Mother
Day" and in an official proclama-
ton issued from the executive offices
today the governor suggests that
all persons attend church on that
date and wear u white carnation in
honor of the mothers of the land.
This is the second time since his
Inauguration that Governor Glass
cock has suggested the observance
of a Mother Day" and it will be
remembered that last year it was
almost generally observed through
out the churches in the entire State.
The idea for the observance of a
Mother Day" originated with a
West Virginia woman, Miss Anna
Jarvis, who now lives at Philadelphia,
but who formerly resided in Grafton,
and in many States the day is OBJ
served.
The white -carnation-the emblem
of purity-is worn on Mothers Day
in memory of her who as the gov
ernor expressed it, is the noblest,
sweetest and best of all Gods crea-
lures"
