notwithstanding Tor me is not particu-
larry cheerful, that Is covering the last
three years, and much OF 1t is not neces-
sary, for my Houghtop county friends
know the series OF misiortunes l have
suffered. The nomination for Judge oil

grateful vindicatlon to meirom my home
friends and people, and it's highest value
to me would be on that account.
