Last Sunday was Mothers Day-the
second Sunday in May. By common
consent this day has been set apart as
Mothers Day-a day for US all to show
our gratitude and respect for our living
mothers and TO reverence the memory
Of our departed ones. To Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia the world is in
debted for the idea, the beautiful con-
ception Of Mothers Day. She suggests
that bright flowers be worn in honor and
reverence for the living mothers and
white ones for those that have passed
away.
Recently Miss Jarvis received letter

He said.
The heaven that lies about us in our
infancy is Motherhood, and no matter
how exalted or how depraved we may
become we are always attended By the
grace Of mothers love. Nor does that
vision splendid ever fade into the light
Of common day. Every great man has
gl0rifed a great mother. In the tragedy
Of Cavalry, Il is beautiful to see the
Master looking down upon His mother
in tenderest solicitude, telling her 70
comfort his best beloved disciple. and
him 10 comfort her. On this day let
sach Of us honor the hallowed memory
Of his mother. wearing in token thereof

The prospect for bIackberries in this
county was never 50 gloomy. the severe
winter killing many Of the vines. A
CLIMAX reporter has inquired Of many
from various petitions Of the county. and
without an exception. they report the
crop almost complete failure. The
consumption of this heathful fruit in
creases annually. while the land on
which much of the crop grew, on ac-
count of its increase in value, has been
cleared and is being used in the growing
OF wheat, corn and tobacco, reducing
the supply and increasing the price of
the berries. Years ago you could buy
them at % cents a bucket, about s l-3
cents a gallon. Last year. early in the
season. they sold at 40 cents per gallon.
This failure will not only be regretted
by the thousands of consumers, but to
many who brought them to mareet to
whom it was profitable for several
weeks

A mother could not attend church one
Sunday, so she sent her boy instead. and
urgently admonished him to remember

heard the preacher read: why stand
We here idle? Go labor in my vineyard
and it will be well with you" And the
text was: IAN angel came down from
Heaven and took live coal from the
altar" The hymn was about
1.-The Cross Bear" He returned home
much elated because he could remem-
Der so much. He said the preacher read
about the boss who came along and said:
"What are you standing round here for
doin' nothin'? Go into my barnyard and
go to work, and | will make it all right

What Masonry Did in Battle

"One of the first things that interest
ed me in Masonry" said Past Master
John Speed Smith, of Washington Cen
tennial Lodge, the newly elected Junior
Grand Steward of the Grand Lodge.
twas the story told me by my uncle,
General and Rev. Green Clay Smith, and
the incident also furnished the inspira-
ton which led me To become a member
of the Fraternity. My uncle was a SOL
der during the Mexican War, though
but boy of sixteen years of age. In
one of the battles the Americans were
driven back, and one of our officers was
cut off and surrounded by Mexicas who
were on him with bayonets to run him
through. Suddenly a Mexican officer
threw himself between his assailants
and savee his life, though he was car
ried off prisoner of war. My uncle said
in the din and noise of the battle he
could not hear anything that the Ameri-
can officer might have said, nor did he
notice that he made any unusual
motions. When the captured officer
was exchanged. and returned to his
regiment, soon after, my uncle asked
him: How in the world did you man
age to escape with your life? thought
sure that they would kill you. Why
did that officer 60 to your rescue, when
all others seemed determined to kill
you? my boy, when you are old
enough, you should become a Mason,
you will learn why that officer saved my
life, )" said he. And that was all he
would say about it. My uncle deter
mined to become member of an insti-
tuition which protected its members
even on the field of battle, and he did so
as early as he could, and remained a
consistent member until his death"
An incident in John Speed Smiths
career, in the mountains of East Ten
nessee, which has been published in the
Disciple, furnishes reason to believe
that being Mason also saved his life on
one occasion. Masonic News.

New School Law

Under the new state law governing
the apportionment Of the state school
funds, it is believed by the heads of the
educational department that school at
tendance viii be improved. The new
law requires money to be paid teachers
on a basis Of school attendance, as well
qualifications to teach, thus encourag-
ing the teacher to get the pupils to the
school everyday. Prof. Barksdale Ham
let, superintendent Of public instruction
and Prof T. J. Coates, superintendent
Of rural schools, are at work on a plan
for paying the teachers under the
new law, Under the old law a teacher
was paid regardless Of the number of
pupils in attendance, and it is said in
some Of the schools the attendance was
allowed to fall by reason Of the fact that
the teachers did not care. Under the
new plan the teacher viii be allowed the
minimum salary, and this will be in
creased as the percentage Of attendance
in the school increases. Last year and
for several years past only one third of
the pupils enrolled attended school dur
ing the year. Ii is hoped to raise this
next year TO at least so per cent.
