Gaming a Judre.

The Circuit Clerks of Maury,
Williamson, Giles, Marshall and
Lawrence counties namely: E. Y.
Pillow, j. R. Nicely, ] H. Morris,
w. G. Lloyd and +. NJ. Cannon, as
an evidence of their friendship and
high esteem for Circuit Judge W.
). McLemore of Franklin, presented
him with an elegant gold headed
cane In the court room at Colum bia
Thursday. Mr.. E. Y Pillow IN his
most happy style, and in language
apprecIaLive of Judge McLemore' 8
fine official capacity, made the
presentation speech. The Judge in
reply said he thought the most pre-
eious gift of God to man was the
love of a good woman, next the
affection of children. next the
friendship of an honest man.
Without the sweet amenities of life
prompted by love and friendship
the path of life would indeed be
desolate. AS highly e. b e priced
the beautiful and costly cane, yet
much dearer to him was the con
seriousness that the presentation was
prompted by personal friendship.
The cane cost $25, and was very
beautiful.

Nothing but Compound Oxy-

done wonders in my case" writes a
gentleman from Eufaula, Indian Terri

eight months in all, and in less than
three months from the time l began
taking the Oxygen L was up and get
ting about. Had been given up by the
doctors to die time and again but /
still live, and believe that nothing else
but Compound Oxygen saved me-" A
letter received five months later from a
brother of this gentleman, says: "Your
Compound Oxygen has in the case of
my brother performed such a miracu-
lous cure-for we attribute it to moth
