MOTHER’S LOVE
There’s no love that’s quite like
Mother’s
There’s no love as deep and as
true
No love that is more uderstanding
Or unselfish the whole year
through
There’s no love that asks for so
little
No love quite as sweet or as
fine
There’s no dearer love than a
Mother’s
And no Mother dearer than
mine!

car reserved for Negroes,
Paul Walker and his daughter,
Mary, charged the railroad sub

plaintiff, if possible, to bring
their action in a southern court
where the result would be a fore
gone conclusion.”
