8 Mrs. Irene T. Davenport, long service Lydia weaver, is one of thousands of Mothers who will be honored by their children on Mother's Day, observed on the second Sunday of May. On this Sunday, which is set apart each year as a time to honor Mothers throughout the nation, scattered families once again gather together, and many churches devote their services to a recognition of Mothers. A special day, known as Mothering Sunday, was observed many years ago in England, but the first known suggestion for a day on which to honor Mothers in the United States was made in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe, who for several years held Mother's Day meetings in Boston. In 1887 a schoolteacher in Kentucky started conducting Mother's Day celebrations, and in 1904 a Mother's Day campaign was launched. Three years later an effort was begun to establish a nationwide Mother's Day obcpr\fQ n pp w n\trPx rnr TV/Trvt Day was not officially recognized nationally until May 8, 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution of Congress recommending that Congress and the executive department of the government observe Mother's Day. The following year President Wilson proclaimed Mother's Day as an annual national observance. Irene, the former Miss Julia Irene Trammell, was married to Mr. Joseph Cecil Davenport on September 28, 1929. Joe is employed in the Weave Room at Clinton as an Overhauler. They now reside at 519 N. Broad. They have seven children, six girls and one bov, who will be with them this Mother's Day. The children are Mrs. Bill Shealy (Elva Joan), Greenville, Mrs. Bobby Boyce (Pollv). Inman, SLOW ME DOWN Slow me down. Lord! Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind. Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time. Give me, amidst the confusion of my day, the calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the tension of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that lie in my memory. Help me to know the magical restorative power of sleep. Teach me the art of taking minute vacations ... of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pet a dog, to read a few lines from a good book.
