cries In all men and all women, X Is
the most fitting that public meetings
he held. and that every one honor his
own mother, living or dead, by wear
ing a white flower.
We cannot too fully realize the truth

which In their truest sense no people

the State north of the James river,
will be held in st. James cnurcn, of
Richmond, beginning on May 2eth,
and will be in session nearly all the

The Indications are that this will
be one of the most important meet

as many matters of vital interest and
concern are to be considered and act
ed upon.
The question of electing bishop

past year.
