MOTHER DAY.

Sunday, May 8 has been designated by Govenor Glasscock as Mother Day" and in an official proclamation issued from the executive offices today the governor suggests that all persons attend church on that date and wear a white carnation in honor of the mothers of the land. This is the second time since his inauguration that Governor Glasscock has suggested the observance of a "Mother Day" and it will be remembered that last year it was almost generally observed throughout the churches in the entire State. The idea for the observance of a "Mother Day" orignated with a West Virginia woman, Miss Anna Jarvis, who now lives at Philadelphia, but who formerly resided in Grafton, and in many States the day is observed. The white emblem of worn on Mothers Day in memory of her who as the governor expressed it, is the noblest, sweetest and best of all God creatures." WANTS PARDON. Earl E.
