less of pomp and display, the man
must have been a dreamer, indeed,
who could see from that small begin
ming Americas great Labor day of the
present.
True. there had been labor unions
In the United States before that and
they had paraded In their organized
form. In 1897 and in the three years
following the labor societies of New
York paraded in the procession of the
Fourth OF July. and on various &C.
casions after that they turned out In
strength.
But, as far as can be learned. this
parade. Sept. s. 1882, was the first
time that the labor unions set aside
a specific day devoted to the goddess
at whose shrine they worshiped. and
turned out In full force that all the
world might see. And this demon
stration was confined solely to New
York city.
Time Was Auspleious.
II was on the occasion OF the an
nual meeting of the knights of Labor.
which was held there that year. This
organization of labor had been
founded about fifteen years before by
some striking garment workers of
Philadelphia. II was born at a time
when the laboring man was beginning
to do a good deal Of hard thinking for
himself and wonder quite q deal
whether all this talk about the bless
ings of poverty and the lowly poor
being Gods own was quite as true as
its smug-faced teachers had, for gen.
J erations. been DINING into the ears OF
the man behind the hammer and the
shovel.
And so the Knights OF Labor. filled
with those doubts throve amain. At
their head was Terence " Powderly,
now occupying a responsible position
in the new Department OF Commerce.
1T has been stated At various times
that Labor day had this or that man
for It's father" said Mr.. Powderly
when asked concerning this occasion
OF momentous birth. But the day
had no father. or rather" he corrected
with a smile, 1T had many fathers
and think l should know. having
been present at the birth.
Labor day. as we know II today
was a growth. born from the percep
ton of many men at the same time OF
the need OF such day. OF such
movements, II 10 always hard to a,
an exact moment when they sprint
into being-when. from q vague ideI
they become the practical thing. But
OF Labor day Il can be said with Ger
tainty that II was born In New Yorl
city Sept. s. 1922.
In Honor Of knights Of Labor.
AT that time the Knights OF Labor
OF which was grand master work
man. were holding their annual con
vention in that city. The labor uniont
OF New York determined to give
demonstration In our honor. and 70
on the afternoon OF the day mentioned
they paraded to the number OF severA
thousand
so eagerly had the idea beef
grasped by the labor folks Of NeN
York that the whole day was prac

Mr.. and Mrs Shepherd left on the
midnight train, going directly to Chi
cago. where they will make their
home.
Mrs. Shepherd is the second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs Harris, and is
considered one of the most popular
members of Ocala society Her pop
ularity has been won not only by
her personal attraction and charm
but by her beauty of character and
deepest regret is felt that her mar
riage will take her so far away from
the city that has always been her
home.
Mr.. Shepherd came to Ocala last
winter in the interest of Swift & Co.,
with which firm he holds a response
bic position, and made host of
friends both in business and social
circles. He is graduate of Brown
College, Mass, and has a delightful
circle of friends in Chicago to well
come his bride.
The announcement of their mar
rage is being received with cordial
interest on account of their own pop

brides family in the state, but it
does not come as a surprise to the
legion of home friends as they have
lad suspicious eye on Mr. Shep-
herds frequent trips of late. He
has been in Barlow for the past two
r1onths, looking after his firms in
terests and very nearly all of the
week-ends during that time have
been spent in Ocala.
