AFTER a service of thirty

AFTER a service of thirty
two years, Judge Thomas j.
Flippin retires from the
bench. Within his term OF
office, more than four years
of his life have been spent in
Bolivar, and we had learned
to look upon him almost as
one of our own citizens. His
personal conduct, his daily
life and associations have
been such as to command re-
spect, and his moral charac-
ter is an example which can
be followed with profit. Of
ficially, his acts have been
prompted solely by a desire
and determination to mete
out justice evenly. He has
worn the robes of office with
becoming dignity and lays
aside the ermine unsullied.
We hope his remaining years
will be pleasant, profitable
and peaceful.

always and at all times conducted
himself and the high and honorable
office so as to command the respect
and confidence of the members of
the bar and the people of the coun-
ty; and
Whereas, his relations with the
members of the bar of this county
have always been exceedingly pleas
ant; and
Whereas, during the sixteen

Don't you remember the sweet girl, Old Vet
The sweet girl of the year sixty one
With eyes so bright, cheeks so red?
But, alas the had begun:
When you fingered so long at tn door, Old Vet
So 10th to bid her goodbye;
You faltered as you took her by tn hand,
While the tear drops fell from her eye.
Underneath the mulberry trees, Old Vet,
Which stood between the gate and tn door,
You've strolled together so oft
In the happy, bright days of yore:
The trees all are gone now, Old Vet,
And the walk nigh by the stream;
The gate and the door have ope'd TIL last time
And remain only a dream.
You mind of the forest of oaks Old Vet
Through whose branches the hollywood cleaned
Where her voice triled with tn sor of tn birds,
And all nature with melody teemed:
Twas mid songs, beneath the oaks, Old Vet,
Where you broke tn sad news to her heart
You'd listed in tn army of tn South,
And would soon have to depart
The woodman has done his fell work, Old Vet,
The oak and the holly laid low,
| Reminding of the state of your home,
Wrecked by the dasta7dly foe:
Still many the ties round the place, Old Vet,
Where she plighted she'd be thine;
How sacredly she has kept the faith,
Sealed meath the fig tree and vinel
Twelve months forty and one, Old Vet,
Whose winters have come and gone
Have taken TIN boys who fought with us then,
Though the ties were closely drawn:
OF all the mothers who gave their boys, Old Vet,
To battle in tn ranks with YOU and me-
In the scope of my memory's ken,
There remain now, only just three.
OF all the fathers who gave their sons, Old Vet,
On the altar of country and home,
If there remains a single one to-day,
That father is to me unknown:
We who are now parading in Dallas, Old Vet
In the bounds of tn sLone Starr state,
viii soon be parading with them,
On the streets of gold, near the Beautiful Gate.
Many changes have fettered our hands, Old Vet,
Unknown to the boys who fell,
Led by Jackson. Forrest and Lee,
Whose ranks up yonder continue to swell:
Your presence was stay then, Old Vet.
While meath the "Stars and tn Bars were we
Old Vet, of the Confederate war,
And may your presence continue to be.
In the grand old state of Texas, Old Vet,
Our camp-fres in Dallas we build,
Unsullied Still marching on,
With hearts unutterably filled
The veet girl of the year sixty -one, Old Vet,
Has been a solace in every stage,
Like wine, from the vintage time,
Is still growing sweeter by age.

A woman who has had experience

from it. She says: Our three
children took whooping cough last
summer, our baby boy being only
three months old, and owing to our
giving them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, they lost none of their

parents did not use this remedy.

Wont Follow Advice After Paying
for it.

In a recent article a prominent
physician says, cit is next to impos-
sibIe for the physician to get his
patients to carry out any prescribed
course of hygiene or diet to the
smallest extent; he has but one re-
sort left-namely, the drug treat
ment." When medicines are used
for chronic constipation, the most
mild and gentle obtainable, such as
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets, should be employed. Their
use is not followed by constipation,
as they leave the bowels in natural
and healthy condition. For sale by

In response the Judge said: 81
am gratified and surprised at the
resolution offered by the bar, com
ing as it does so unexpectedly.
can only acknowledge the high com
pliment with thanks and cherish the
same as a sweet remembrance. In
laying aside the judicial Office anG
severing my relations with members
of this bar, it is but natural that
should feel deep sense of regret
l would emphasize the fact that
have been treated at all times with
uniform courtesy and kindness, anC
no feelings of bitterness or resent
ment have been cherished for a mo
ment during the long association
of tk1rty-two years. l have striven
to do right, without fear or favor,
and carry with me the consciousness
IN my own breast that l have per
formed my full duty as / understood
it. / recall to memory with sadness
the fact that not single member OF
the bar now compose it who was
here when l first assumed judicial
position, nearly a third of century
ago. The older members are either
dead or have moved away. Some
of the most pleasant recollections of
my life are associated with their
friendship and companionship. /
feel grateful to the citizens Of the
county of Hardeman for their un-
swervipg trust and support in my
aspirations. l am conscious of the
fact that l have committed many
errors of judgment in the past, that
time and experience would have en-
abled me TO have avoided. The
duties and responsibilities devolving
upon circuit judge are both grave
and delicate in the extreme. The
community looks to him to conserve
the public peace and fairly and i'm
partially enforce the law. There
are times when passion and excite
ment in the conduct of trials run
high, requiring tact, sound judg-
ment and an impartial mind to hold
the scales of justice even and to i'm
press litigants and parties in interest
that there has been a fair and Just
administration of the law. He has
to punish men for violation of the
law and sometimes the duties are as
painful to the judge in the intilction
of punishment as it is to the one
upon whom it is administered. /
can conscientiously say that no Of
fetal act of mine has been prompted
by any other desire than the proper
enforcement of the law, and with
this abiding consciousness in my
own heart, l now take leave of you.
In doing so, however, it is proper
to say that it will be a great pleas
ure 10 me to offer you any service
that may be within my power and
that may promote your ambitions in
life. And l shall carry always with
me in my recollections the tenderest
regard for each of you and l shall
rejoice at your success"
