 Mir. Black said ''I have learned from Joe Killgore this morning much about Dr. Ksllgore asked him what he knew about Dr. KilIgore. He replied: He raised me, and was the best man that ever lived Ihis is a grand tribute to good man and as much as could be said about any man, and as much as 1 would have said about mo when l am gone.'
 Mir. Wells said: Of course I know nothing of Dr. Kill llgore' private life But had the pleasure of meeting him in the house years ago, where he made lasting impression, voted for him for speaker, and he made a good nresSsstiiug officer. I never saw him again until we met here. When he met me he said: Wells, I am glad to meet you the Lord has been good to me- He was grand man in every re- spect.
 Mir. South said: 1 love to revere and respect and emulate the memory of such men. The old men love to encourage young men, and this good old man took a fatheriy interest in me, saying at one time, South, hold up your head and you Il succeed" hope to deserve his friendly consideration. Those who have known him in every capacity know that he lived fai tn ful to every interest in public and private station. Mir. South closed by saying:
 Lives of great men all remind us
 We can make our lives sublime,
 And departing leave behind us
 Foot prints on the sands of time.
 Senator Hawkins said These memorial services have overcome me with emotion We have heard the character of Dr. Kill gore discussed from his childhood to his death. 1 have known him from my boy hood. Four years ago it was my pleasure to sit at the desk with him. I ate with him and slept with him. I have heard him relate the incident mentioned by inc gentleman from Nevada in connection with the campmeeting held in Calhoun county, his only regret being that he had not entered the ministry. I wish his friends at home could hear the kind words said of him. He has filled the measure of his days. In all things, mentally and morally, he came up to the measure of purest manhood. Mr. Hawkins closed with beautiful poetical tribute to Dr. Killeore's worth.
 Mir. Wright was not personally ac- quainted with Dr. Killgore, but had heard of him. He believed the deceased had entered into life everlasting and that his friends would meet him again.
