be the most unusual in the history of

Of course everybody in Granville

Of this fair white carnation.
A beautiful custom it is to set aside
the second Sunday of May as Mothers
Day. It is a day of precious mem
ories. In the church service, on the
train, at home, walking the streets,
there will be many a heart that will
go back on this day to the old home.
The apple orchards, the old oaken
bucket, the spring at the foot of the
hill, the trundlebed, the mother's
armchair, the happy family circle
now broken all these will come
trooping up in memory. We are bet
ter for these dear thoughts. The
unbidden tear in the eye is often a
benediction. It is one of the pleas
ures of life to go back in memory to
the old home. The art of living is to
carry the purity and tenderness of
childhood into the harder years of
life.
In 1906 the thought originated of
observing the second Sunday in M?y
as Mother's Day. This was the first
anniversary of the death of the moth
er of Miss Anne Jarvis of Philadel
phia, and she thought this would be
a good day to set aside to write the
mother a letter of love, telling her or
your affection and of all that she had
done for you. If the mother was not
living, then to call to mind her vir
tues, her noble life, her unselfishness
and gracious ministries. These mem
ories would be blessed to the heart
like the calm of a holy Sabbath even
ing hour, and sweet as the voice of
childhood.
Lincoln turned down the wine cup
in obedience to the wishes of a dead
mother. Cleveland took the cath of
the presidency on his mother's Bible.
Bishop Vincent said: "My mother was
an incarnation of fidelity, self-sacrifice
and serenity." Doctor Cuyler
bore this beautiful tribute to his
mother: "For 40 years I have been
preaching the Gospel and I would not
exchange places with the king, but I
doubt if I ever would have been
drawn to the service of Christ had it
not been for the faithfulness of that
quiet home preacher who rocked my
cradle." Moody said: "For nearly 50
years I have been coming back to
Northfield, and I always look for the
light in mother's window."

FAITHFUL PUBLIC OFFICERS
In a campaign year, you can, scarce
ly speak of the qualities of an. offici
al without incurring the animosity
of some one. And there is -another
classof people who do not believe in
throwing a bouquet 7 at the living,
preferring, as it were to reserve all
the flowers for the dead. The Pub-
: lie Ledger has always made it a rule
to bestow praise where it is due, and
we believe we can speak of the pres
ent Board of County Commissioners
without offending any one. Take
them individually, they are a fine lot
of men; and take them collectively,
it is a good Board. Conscientious,
capable and pains-taking. We , have
never heard but one criticism of the
present Board, if such could be a
criticism, namely, that of being
"overcareful." Some of the most
"critical ones" may try to read this
paragraph between the lines to dis
cover " a ioUticaJ 11 significance, but
th6re can be none, as there" is ljtUe
pay attached to the, office. We feeve
always regarded the office, of County
rnmmisRioiier as one of great irapor-
neighbbr says" le hhs a hen that, lays j tnce and we but speak the truth
by a drawn rope or police surveil
lance. A fireman must act and think
quickly, and they cannot do this;
when the public is permitted o
crowd into their legitimate territory.
Another thing of gret concern, is
that the. citizens of Oxford still per
rnty ol wooden shacks to stand in
tlie fire limits. They are nqt only an
eye-sore, but they place in jeopardy
the lives and property of others. It
is the part of wisdom to condemn all
old wooden buildings within the fire
limits and tear them down.

FOR SENATORIAL HONORS
The voters have a choice of two
good men for the State Senate so
far. The two men have a substanti
al following in Granville and no r-no
ca,n tell at this time which of the two
will be the successful candidate.
They are both members of the Coun
ty Board of Education and have been
in the public eye for some time.
They are strong, substantial and loyal
men every way you look at them.
We refer to Dr. E. B. Meadows, of
Tally Ho Township and Mr. Titus C.
Currin, of Fishing Creek Township.
It will be a hard matter for the good
loyal friends of the two candidates
to decide in favor of the one and a
gainst the other. This they must do,
and there should not be any ill feel
ing engendered in so doing.
Mr. Currin and Dr. Meadows have
proved their worth on the County
Board of Education. They stand side
by side in the great scheme of educa
tion for the masses and their candi
dacy will be watched with a great
deal of interest.
Dr. J. A. Morris, County Demon
strator, is the other member of the
County Board of "Education, and he
fills both offices with credit to him
self and the people.
The choice of either Dr. Meadows
or Mr. Currin for the Senate will in
no wise impair the usefulness of the
County Board of Education, as they
only meet a few times a year.

FINE PLAY COMING
Paul Gilmore's Associate Players
will appear at the Orpheum Theatre
early in June in their great success
"The Havoc". Mr. Paul Gilmore is
no doubt one of the greatest actor
managers in this country and has
proven this on several occasions in
the past. In "The Havoc" he pre
sents one" of the most powerful plays
before the American public today.
The part of Craig portrays a fine
type of the American business man,
whose life, is ' won from him by a
treacherous guest. He does not re
sort to the unwritten law, but in
stead works out the punishment of
the pair along new lines and in
manner tha't makes the play seem not
acting but real, throbbing, vital life.
