NASHVILLE, Aug. ,1s,-Just before tho
close of the State Farmers and Labor
ers' Union, in session here, the mem
bers had National President L. L. Polk
to present for them a very beautiful
gold watch to their retiring State pres
ident, for the faithful discharge of his
duties. President Polk said: Brother
Buchanan, have been called upon at
various times to perform pleasant du-
ties, and I want to assure you that /
discharge this duty with more pleasure
than any have ever performed in this
line. 1 am one of those who believe
that a man does not have to cross the
river before his worth is known to his
sellow-citizens. You are about to lay
down your official duties as President of
the Stat Union, and it is hoped that you
will be called to still higher duties. As
a slight appreciation of their feeling
toward you, ley have charged me with
the pleasant duty of presenting you
with this beautiful gold watch, and de-
sire you to accept it, and that in the
future, as in the past, you may labor
for the welfare and upbuilding of your
fellow-citizens and common country
Hon. J. p. Buchanan replied in lam
guage showing that his heart was full
and overfiowing with gratitude, while
tears stood in his eyes. 1t was an af-
fecting scene, and many eyes were moist
with emotion.
