sissippi:
The distinguished representative OF
Marshall county, the Hon. J. w. c.
watson, by his earnest efforts, clear reas-
onlng, sound logic and eloquenee in the
discussion and consideration of all ques-
tons In which he has taken part during

tached himself to every member of this

honor of presenting on behalf of myself
and fellow members of this House, please
accept with my earnest and prayerful re-
quest that YOU make its holy teachings
the rule of Your actions in your declin-
ing years, as you have done in the past,
and that it may serve you as a safe pass
port into haven of rest. Keep it
sacredly for the holy truths it contains,
as also, for the motives which actuste
your admiring friends in its presenta
ton.
| will only further add thst it affords
me untold pleasure to be the chosen one
through whom this 5eftting present
reaches you.

Judge Watson Gained.

Another of those pleasant episodes &C
curred in the House on Friday last that
relieved the monotony of ordinary legis
latise business. DR. Rowan, of Copiah
rising in his place, thus addressed the
House:
Ma. SPEAKER: I hope to have the at
tention of this House for few moments.
Th,re Is a time in the history of all men
when their actions may be considered,
and in view of this fact there are quite
number of the members of this House,
through your humble speaker, who take
this occasion to offer this gold-headed
cane To the distinguished member from
Ntrshall county, the Hon. j. w. G..
Watson, rs a token of our Csteemand re-
spect for him in advocating and looking
only to the passage of such laws as are
calculated TO promote the financial, so
cial. moral and religious interests of our
State. In him all the qualities of
true legislator are combined, and of him
we feel proud to honor and will ever
cherish his actions, and will place them
TN list with our brightest memories.
! send the cane to his seat.
Judge Watson. in accepting the cane,
spoke substantially as follows:
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
House.

have endeavored to do so, aud | can ties
tify that the House, as = whole, has en-
deavored to do what was right and best

for myself that / never took drink in
my life, and l never will ill the day /
die.
sincerely trust that you may all
reach your homes in safety, and | pray
that health, prosperity and happiness
may attend You and yours.
Mr.. Harrison, of Lowndes, followed in
few complimentary references to Judge
Watson, and that although he and
Others differed with him on certain
measures, they were proud to bear testi
mony to his many noble qualities OF
head and heart.

For all this consideration you have my
thanks. desire here to acknowledge an
especial obligation to the Hon. Reuben o.
Reynolds, President pro tenn, for so cheer
fully dividing my labors with me, and es-
pecially do l wish to confess debt to him
for the whole-heartedness with which he
performed so large share of my work in
the session of 1882, during which, by reason
of i'll health, was incapable of performing
my duties.
The death, during the session, of one of
our members, who was held in high esteem
by all of US, need not be without valuable
lesson to all of us who survive him, for he
died almost literally in his seat, in the dis
charge of duty. Earnestly uttering the
prayer that He who doeth all things well
may care for you and yours, l shall now
declare this session of the Senate of the
State of Mississippi adjourned without day.

Mr.. Speaker, aud Gentlemen of the House
This is, perhaps, the greatest surprise
of my lite. UuLii heard nv rame men
toned, Il moment since, | had not the
! remotest idea that anything of the kind
was i'll contemplation. The Bible | ac-
c pit as the mos; precious gift that could
have been bestowed upon me. | have
long received and cherished the Bible as
! revelation from God, and to its teach
ing the world Is more indebted than can
possibly he appreciated. The Bible is,
t. the moral world what the sun is to
the physical world Imagine that every
ray OF light that emanates from the sun
we're extinguished, the physical world
would then he shrouded in darkness
What then would be the physical condi-
ton of man? This is but an illustration
of what would be the moral and religious
condition of man were the light of the
the Blessed Gospel removed from the
earth.
| sincerely thank my friend who has
presented me this token of the kind re-
gard of himself and many others; and it
is my earnest PRAYER, in behalf of all
present, that the Bible may hencefor-
ward be thei- and my rule of faith and
practice; aud may it it ever prove
lamp to our feet and light to oar path
and at last, may each one of us, with the
grace and mercy of God, be permitted
to enter upon that rest which the Bible
assures us remains for the people of
God.
