Secretary of State.

To the Florida Division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy:
For the third time withina few
months IL becomes my sad duty to an
nounce to you the passing away of
one of our honorary presidents, Mrs.
Fannie r. Gary, of Ocala, who fell
asleep on Tuesday, April 2S, at the
residence of her son, Mr.. w. T. Gary.
The hearts of those who loved her.
and they are many indeed, must be
sorrowful, but it is sorrow mixed
with many beautiful memories of a
life well lived, and full of richness
and blessing to others; a sorrow
soothed by the knowledge that for her
the WEAKNESS and pain of her four
score years are exchanged for the rest
and ease of the blessed land, where
the dulled ears listen with rapture to
the song of the redeemed; where the
dimmed eyes see clearly the face of
her Risen Lord, and her so long help
less feet go swiftly to meet his COM
ing.
II is as she would have it, and faith
full and loving still. she will wait for
all of us whom she loved, until the
morning of theeternal day shall open
for us also.

A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOV.
ERNoR OF FLORIDA
To the People of Florida:

To the People of Florida:
The truest and greatest friend thai
God ever gave us was our mothers.
There is no purer, nobler or more en-
during virtue than mothers love.
There Is a tenderness in the love OF
a mother that transcends all other af-
fections of the heart. 1t is neither to
be chilled by selfishness. weakened
by worthlessness, nor stifled by in
gratitude. She will sacrifice every
comfort for her children; she will sur
render every pleasure for their enjoy
ment; she will glory in their fame and
exuit in their prosperity. In success
in failure, in sunshine or in shadow,
her love, her deep interest, abides
with us still ! 1t is protection in in
fancy, a guiding star in youth and an
inspiration to high ideals and noble
endeavCrs all along the pathway of
life.
Her sweet voice may long since
have been hushed in death, but the
memory of her watchfulness, her ad-
vice, her tenderness, her anxiety, her
affection and her prayers yet abide
with us, and is the most ennobling in
fluence in our lives.
The influence of the mothers of our
land is the chief anchor of society,
and this influence is purifying the
world, and her work will last forever
No costly marble can build a more
enduring monument to our mothers
than the impress they make on their
own household. The changing
scenes of life may hurl the genius OF
man from eminence to utter ruin. But
the honest form of a true mother
reigns queen in the hearts of her
children forever.
That we may pay special tribute
and fittingly offer our tokens of love
and affection to the sacred memory
of our sainted mothers who have
gone to their Heavenly reward. and
that we may manifest our apprecia-
tion and express our gratitude for the
love and devotion of the noble moth
ers who remain with us, I. Park Tram
nell, governor of the state of Florida,
do hereby designate and proclaim
Sunday, May 10th, 1914,
Mothers Day,
and suggest that it be observed by ap-
propriate services I'm all of our
churches throughout the state.
In testimony whereof. l have here
unto signed my name. and caused the
great seal of the state of Florida to
be AFFIXED, this the 4th day of May,
A D., 1914.

A BIG DAY AT ANTHO-
NY

Especial to the Ocala Banner.)
1t was the pleasure of the writer in
company with the other candidates
for the various offices, to attend fish
fry at Anthony gotten up specially for
the older people, and incidentally for
the candidates. 1t is needless to say
that we enjoyed it, for every citizen
of Anthony, Sparr, and the surround
ing neighborhood resolved themselves
into a committee of one to see that
every one was made to feel at home;
it reminds me of family reunion to
attend one of these gatherings at An
thony.
To start with they organize, appoint
their committees and proceed in sys-
tematic way, each one coming up
with the duty assigned him, and the
whole when brought together, and
footed up, pronounced perfect sue
cess.
The committee on this occasion
who was directly in charge was COM
posed of J. M. Gates, Sr., A. B. Moore,
Frank Wyley, d. G. Sims, and Mr..
Eaton, each of whom proved an adept
in his line, and to whom too much
praise cannot be given. Then there
were the ladies from every family in
the community with baskets groaning
with the good things too numerous to
mention. 1t would have done you
good to see those baskets as they
came and were piled upon the long
table under the large spreading oaks
in front of the school
building. / could not see how it was
possible to get all the good things
those baskets contained on the table.
There was a full crop of candidates
present, and at the sound of the gavel
welded by the incompatible Wilder,
who has a unique way of introducing !
each candidate that relieves him of !
that quaky feeling and reassures him !
of his equilibrium; the air was rent |
with eloquence, first by Brinson, not a |
candidate but just keeping in practice
by Terrell, for the Senate,
his opponent relieving him of any en-
by being absent; next
came Koonce for State Attorney who
was also favored by his opponents
absence. |
At this juncture dinner was an
nounced, and everybody gathered
around and partook Of one of those
most bountiful repasts for which this
section is noted. After an hour spent
in commingling, the sound of the CAV
Ell was again heard and we listened to
the remaining candidates who SEEM
ed as eager for their turn as school
boy in debate.
First came Henderson and Crosby.
The legislative candidates followed by
Aver and Moorehead for Assessor, as
he two end men of the performance.
Next came Colbert and Stripping for
Collector followed by Bitch for mem
Der of the School Board, then came
Coulter Luffman, Watkins, earn, and
asst, but not least, Ed Carmichael, all
If whom are aspiring for member of
he board of county commissioners.
After the speaking and another
'ound of hand shaking, the candidates
urned their faces homeward and
aside from politics, feeling that the
lay had been well and proftably
spent by their association with a
hrifty and prosperous people.

theatergoer on Broadway as an act

the last five years.
Hope Latham's last appearance on
the New York STAGE, as Jane In a.
E. Thomas play. The Rainbow" Is
so recent that New York playgoers
had generally supposed that a couu-

since the summer of 1912. Her
friends among actors and actresses,
however, knew that she was not play

fed by her complete disappearance.
The Hope Latham whom everybody
liked simply vanished in February.
1913. Two or three intimRtes knew
that she had married. Some thought
she had gone on a long honeymoon
trip around the world. Others have
felt a little frightened not to be able
to get any trace of her. None knew
that her husband of year and a half
was an heir to two great fortunes
and none knew that from a gertrude
Of wealth she has been cut of by her
husbands death and that now she in
