The feature of the evening was the
presentation Of handsome cane to Mr..

who gracefully and graciously presented
the cane, to one who so meritoriously
observed it, with the following we'll

No duty ever appointed has afforded

that | voice the sentiment of the entire
union in saying that, if our token of
gratitude and appreciation were COM
mensurate with our feelings, we would
present instead of this gold headed cane
a whole gold mine During the trying
hours of last spring, when the Legisla
ture was on the eve of enacting laws
that either bring joy and happiness or
the deepest sorrow and disappointment
to thousands of homes in Tennessee,
we could only sit with bowed heads and
anxious hearts awaiting the click of the
wires from our State Capital. We all
remember how we hoped, feared, tasted
and prayed that our fair State would be
forever free from the evils of the sa-
looms and liquor domination, and when
the news at last came that our prayers
Great White Throne we knelt in thanks
giving and praise. While we honor all
the brave men who battled so hard for
the cause of temperance, we feel that
our friend, Mr.. Caldwell, should receive
a large amount of the honor. He was
always in the thickest of the fight, and
whenever the bugle sound of duty called
he left business and all to respond; and
when our next Legislature convenes we
hope and pray that he maybe our Rep
resentative in the Senate of Tennessee.
In the name of the w, G. T. U. of Union
City / now present this cane"
Mr. Caldwell was yisibly touched
and responded as follows with a pretty
tribute to the w. G. 7. u ladies:
Madam President, Mrs. Pierce, and
w. G. T. U. ladies. The expression
and sentiment you voice in presenting
me this gift is more than can reply
to. I haven't the language to express
Tto you the deep appreciation of my
heart for such a gift / have never in
my estimation done work that would
require such recognition. The victory
of Statewide Prohibition in Tennessee
is due to your efforts. Your efforts
have made the homes of Tennessee for
ever happy dwelling place for us all.
This great work is due to you, and you
alone Why should take gifts from
you when we should bestow upon you
jewels for such blessings to Tennessee?
You have made it easy to build up our
Sunday schools and forever keep our
homes as our Maker intends we should.
