 FOR JUDGE SPROTT
PRESENTS POPULAR LIVINGSTON MAN WITH ELABoRATELY EN- GRAVED GOLD WATCH

Montgomery January 17,-tSpeeial 1--De spite the ftcat that State Senator $. H Sprott of Livingston is very modest ant retiring gentleman, his friends are finding him at the present time going about tn. city with coat thrown wide open, dis playing an ample and resplendent yes that is ostentatiously decorated with golc chains and other valuable embems. H, is not Haunting his possessions in tho faces of his friends, however, as means of arousing their jealousy and comment happiness and pleasure.
 This morning the aged jurist received from the express office an elusive box which upon opening he found to be tho retainer of a handsome gold watch, gor. geously engraved and superbly finished. Il was the gift of the bar of the Sixth judi cial circuit of,Alabama, and was present ed to the state senator through James o Prude, Jr., court stenographer.
 Prior to his coming to the legislatur, at this term Judge Sprott for nearly B years, presided over the Sixth circuit and during that time was accorded the distinction of being one of the most popu. lar jurists in that circuit. Despite his T years, moreover his attention to the du- ties of Alabama's upper house Is giving him an enviable reputation in that body
 Somewhat more than one year ago Judge Sprott was presented with a hand. some gold watch, hence his action ir taking about with him both of the time pieces. Upon being accosted on that ground he made the laconic reply that the man who owns two handsome watches ought to be a capitalist
 The following letter accompanied the watch:
 Hon. s. H. Sprott, Montgomery Ala.
 My Dear Judge: I am forwarding you by registered mail, under separate cover a watch. the gift of the bar of the Sixth circuit.
 You will find it engraved a tokep of esteem, and while it is but a very slight acknowledgment of the appreciation of your friends of the bar of your uniform courtesy and fairness to them during your long service as judge of the circuit, trust that you will accept it with the knowledge that your friends wish for you many years of useful service in the legls- lative halls of the state.
 '1 deem this the most appropriate way, under the circumstances. to present it to you.
 with best wishes for your continued good health, and highest personal regards, I remain, yours very respectfully,
 JAMES O. PRIDE, JR. "

 Route,'' and the name is very appropriate as well as euphoneous.
 MT. Floyd Is interested in insurance matters. and has been closely identified with the organization Ol tic hcW III "'ie
