accepting it I am Afforded that great
pleasure / can only feel and not speak
because Of the failure OF mere words
TO express the deep appreciation of a
heart rich in love and recognition OF
friends.
In the years to come. in my last
and declining days OF old age If am
TO be permitted to reach that
mellow period OF life, while travelling
down the evening slope OF my mortal
existence, facing as l hope to do. a
beautiful golden, peaceful and uR-
clouded sunset. | shall lean upon this
cane which may thus help to support
whatever may be left OF what hope
may be true, pure and untarnished,
if only a simple manhood. and remem-
Der that of all the sweets of life, that
friendship is one of the sweetest and
most cherished
With due regard and respect for the
opinions Of those who have taken
issue with me on the great questions
with which nave had 10 do in this leg
islature, and charity for my enemies
everywhere il I have such. and a deep
love and appreciation OF my treasured
friends. I accept this cane which will
ever be a souvenir to me of the stormy
legislature Of 1909 in Tennessee, and
hope that at least some good may come
10 the people Of this great state as
the result OF our work. and that many
hearts that have heretofore been sad
may be made glad, and that that
Divine Laughter Of Joy which is the
blessed boundary line between man
and beast will make enough dimples
in the cheeks of the earth to catch
and hold and glorify all the tears OF
grief.
