SINGING MOTHERS.
Charm of the Music Of Their Voices TO
Their Little Ones

They came Ia me in dream those
singing mothers \ long. slow pro
cession Of shadowy forms. beautiful as
raiubows and rs wonderful. singing =
strange haunting melody full of myS-
terry. First came troops Of girl moth
ers, clasping their little babes with a
tenderness that was half fear and
with wide. inquiring eyes filled with
holy light and the consciousness OF the
deepest realization of life. Then came
strong mothers OF youth. leading hap
by faced children and confident with
n sense Of power, buoyant with hope
and radiant with promise. Last of all
came silver mothers Of men. leaning
on their stalwart sons and. though
bowed with years. yet gloriously
young in spirit hallowed by memories
and glowing with the victory of
achievement. And |. mother. watch
ing these pass 10y and listening 10 their
haunting music. felt as never before
the divine significance Of motherhood
and all the hidden meanings in the
word singing
All this l. music I'm a marvellous
mood, but there is no music on earth
more appealing or more far reaching
than the voice Of mother singing TO
her little ones. No audience ever lis
tened with keener rapture to any
prima donna than that little group
gathered In the twilight hour at a
mothers knee. II is her dearest Joy
at that time TO put into music all the
sacredness OF motherhood and the hap
piness Of childhood, 10 teach and to
charm and 10 tune the hearts Of her
children.-Anne p. L. Field In Crafts

clause in il caused considerable COM

certain small Hindu idol carved from
hard stone which would be found
among her property must be taken ont

Carnot years before he had ever

friend who had brought IL from In

that whatsoever would retain. it in his
possession would rise to the fullest

something on that day in the way Of

WALL INJUNCTION
HAS BEEN DENIED

Judge James 7. Wills of the Cir
cult Court has denied the injunction
asked for by Senator John P. Wall
and others, praying that the Put
nam county board of drainage COM
miSsioners be restained from further
work in the Florahome drainage dis
trict.
When. the case was argued before
Judge Wills on the 25d of list
month, the attorneys for Mr. Wall
made REQUEST of the Judge that in case
their bill was denied, that they be
given leave TO amend. This W S
granted in the decision handed down
last Monday, and the complainants
were given until sometime in De,
cember to file their amended bill
The bill of complaint attacked the,
law at every conceivable point, and
the fact that it was denied is consid-
cred by attorneys as evidence Of the
stability Of the law.
But Senator Wall is "bull headed"
when he gets a notion to fight inn
provements and can be counted on
to go to the last ditch. In the mean
Ii ne he is getting all the options he
can on the Fhorahome lands.

represented by Attorney A. H. Odom,

Our Foreign Trade.
]. n. BLACKWELL.
Palatka Oct. I'd, 1913,

There is nothing especially new
about it, but il is proper that attention
should occasionally be called to the fact
that Paatka does considerable foreign
trade. Our lumber and tanks and
shingles have been going to foreign
ports for years, as so also have other
wares for which this city is wholesale
or manufacturing headquarters. For
instance w. A. Merryday Co. shipped
yesterday a car load of orange box
material TO Nassau, Bahama.
Speaking OF box material reminds US
of the fact that the w. A. Merryday Co.
last year sold considerably over l,OOO,-
600 citrus fruit boxes, and that their
booked orders for the present season in
dicate large increase over last year.
When it is remembered that the citrus
crop of the state will not exceed 5000,
600 boxes, it will be seen that Palatka is
getting fair proportion of the business.
