Mr. Casey has lived in the pre-
cinct which he represents for near-
ly all his life and is perhaps more
thoroughly familiar with the needs
of that section then any man. He
possesses extraordinary business
ability and has made one of the
best county commissioners we have
ever hpd. There is ho office of

* Mothers’ Day.
Last Sunday was designated as
Mothers’ Day throughout the state.
Appropriate services were held at
many of the churches and. places
of-'worship In the entire state. The
day was*observed at the Baptist
Church In Graham in a way that
will long be remembered by all pres-
ent. A special program had been
prepared by the primary department
of the Sunday school. * The entire
program was well rendered and well
received. Space forbids mentioning
•every number but we can not refrai
from saying a word about the vocal
number by tittle Ina May Prloo. She
sang very Impressively the favorite
song, “If You Ia^ve Your Mother
Meet Her In the The song
waa no appropriate that It was tatil-
ed for again at the conclusion of the
church services.
The Church was beautifully deco-
rated for the .occasion. At the conolu
sion of the services every one
was presented with a souvenir but
those presented to the mothers con-
sisted of beautifnj^jcardi with ap-
propriate quotations, a white bow
of ribbon, and a white rose bud.‘1 '
There were many mothers' and
grandmothers ^present Thg._Qun-
day school was the largest (xt'the his
tory of tbs church with the excep-
tion of the day about a year ago
when Dr. B. H. Carroll was here.
The day will be long remembered
by the membership of the Ikipttat
Church and others fortunate
enough to he present.
