Gilchrist, at the Metho- dist-Episcopal church: Rev. Sistrunk, Ladies anq Gentle- men: Mothers' Day is usually ob- served throughout the Uniteq States on the second Synday in May of each year, [t may, of course, be ohserved on any day in all the year. This ob- servance Is due to a young lady of Philadelphia. She lost her best friend, her dearly beloved mother. She wrote to the various governors asking them to issue a proclamation, proclaiming the sccond Sunday in May as Mothers' Day, s ing that each one, on that day wear a white flower of some kind—sweet- ness of the flower and purity of white.

As previously men- tioned, Mothers’ Day ought to be every day in all the year.

FUNERAL OF MRS. E. C. GIB- BONS OCCURRED YESTERDAY Yesterday afternoon the funeral of Mrs, B, (', Gibbons, who dieq Satur- day of cancer, was held from the family residence in Divieland, Rev. W. H. Steinmeyer conducting the services, Mrs. Gibhons had been a resident of Lakeland for the past three voarg and had surroundea herself with = large number of friends, who are boweq in sorrow at her demise.

It is the mother who can instil high thoughts in the hearts anq minds of her children. Even my aspiration to become governor of this great State is due to my mother telling me time again, ‘“Albert, your father wanted to be governor Florida,” instilling into me his aspirations and hig ambitions, impre h}iip}.’: upon me that he was king ang thoughtful and considerate of every one.
