MOTHERS DAY
From Sundays Daily:

From Sundays Daily:
Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia is
credited with being the originator of
Mothers Day. 1t is now officially
recognized in many states, and will
soon become national and fittingly OBJ
served
The second Sunday in May was Sc.
lected because flowers, a necessary
factor in such celebration, are uni
versally available at that season of
the year.
Governor Gilchrist has officially
recognized the second Sunday in May
as Mothers Day. and has issued his
proclamation requesting that it be ap-
propriately observed.
Miss Jarvis, and those interested
in the movement with her, wants ev-
erybody to wear a white flower, en-
blematic of purity, today. But if any
one associates any other flower with
his mother-any flower that he knows
was his mothers favorite-he is urg-
ed to wear it in preference to any
other. Indeed, both the kind of flow
er and the color designated as Off
cial by the promoters of the mother
celebration were fixed upon only on
general grounds of taste and conven-
fence. The essence of the fedora
TONS request is that everybody, on
May 18th of the present year wear a
flower of some kind. To wear a flow
er on this day is to be a member OF
the federation.
Churches of all creeds, Sunday
schools, Christian associations and
all societies that have Sunday meet
ings are requested to give the day
formal place in their services. The
giving of a flower for someone else
to wear is one of the recommends
lions which Miss Jarvis makes to us
all.
AS to ways OF observing the day
outside of religious secular exercises,
the promoters urge us to honor our
mothers by doing some distinct act
of kindness; they bid us live on that
day as our mothers would have us;
advise everybody who reside at a dis
lance from his mother to invite her
to his house, or go and visit her or
else write her letter, send her tel
egram or use some other convenient
method of communicating with her.
Mothers Day is observed this year
for the fourth time. 1t has been pop
ular everywhere in the country from
the very start, and in some cities has
been announced by the mayors pro-
clamation. There are those who
would like to have the day given ma
tional standing and there are many
who have encouraged making its
scope worldwide.

Colonel Ed S. R. Green, son of Mrs.
Hetty Green, president of the Texas
Midland railroad, has an automobile
made from his own factory at Ter
rell, Texas. His instructions to the
shopmen when he placed his order
for the car were: 81 am no circus
manager, so please omit anything
that pertains to gaudiness or is sug-
gestive of loudness of tone" The ex-
terror is green, the interior green,
with gold trimmings; the carpet is
green and the general decorations are

Rev. J. B. Mitchell of Tallahassee,
who was invited by the Marion Camp
of Confederate Veterans to deliver
his famous lecture on 1.-THE Old and
the New South" in this city on June
3rd, at the celebration of Jefferson
Davis birthday, writes that he ap-
preciates the invitation very much,
but regrets that circumstances in the
shape of another and previous en-
gagement will prevent his accept
ance. Mr.. Mitchell says: 81 am very
sorry, and can only hope that at some
other date l may have the pleasure
of being with YOU" We know that
this will be great disappointment to
the camp and to our people general
ly. The distinguished orator recent
ly delivered this lecture at Apalachi-
cola, and the Times of that CITY
speaks of it in the most enthusiastic
terms. The Marion Camp, however
shall hold him to his promise, and
will expect to have Mr.. Mitchell with
us at some other time.
