From the circular of this gentleman
which has been distributed throughout
the County, 1t will be seen that be has de-
clined making the race for Sheriff.
1t Is proper for US to state that our on
position to him through the paper was
from the TACT that we had encouraged S.
Il. Griffith to make the race for sheriff
before Dir. B. had announced himself a
candidate and from the fact that we con-
sidered the Democratic party were giving
hun encouragement merely to defeat the
Republican party We have always con-
sldered Mr.. Boreing an honest, upright
gentleman, m worthy the respect of all
good people. We think he has acted
wisely-in declining to make the race and
IN so doing will increase his popularity
with the Republican party, And we fur
Their state, should he at any time in the
future wish to make a race In this County
and be able to secure the nomination of
the Republication party, nc one will sup
port him more earnestly than ourselves.

Education.

For niy " entertainment, and. With
the hope of suggesting something useful to
others, | propose furnishing, as opportuni-
ty affords, some short articles On the
above trite subject. The subject is an
old one but a live one. The ground has
been traversed thousands of times and by
a hundred generations, aud yet 1t must
ever be fresh with interest. To Gull flow
ers shall not be my object-this l will
cave for the schoolbOy.
TuEINFLUENcE OF OBJECTIVE UPON
THE SUBJECTIVE.
There are two sources of human thought
external and internal.-The external is
first In order of time. So soon as the
senses open upon the material world,
SENSATIONS come pouring in upon the soul,
waking up the power OF perception. A
al lid born with its FIVE senses locked up,
for all that we know, would be as
incapable of thought as a must
cal instrument is of harmony with
no hand to touch its cords. The blind

Of sound. The SOULS power of original
suggestion is dormant until walked by
messengers of thought through the avenue
of the senses and furnished ideas from
without. II this position be true, and no
one will gainsay it, the whole web of
human thought takes complexion original
from the outside world. This follows,
and must follow. from the very constitu-
ton of man. But the argument is equal
ly conclusive from effect to cause. The
history of nations and of men proves 1T
An appeal to personal experience and in
dividual consciousness attest it. When we
walk or ride along the margin of some
sluggish stream where the scenery is dull
and monotonous we imperceptibly glide
into a kind of sympathy, physical and in-
teIlectual with the surroundings. On the
other hand when the scenery is wild, and
the stream with quickened speed goes
leaping and rushing like a thing of life, if
riding, we s~traighten on the stirrup. if
walking the foot keeps time with the song
of Nature. These things being so, there
is a compensation for being born where
hills stand sentinel around, where cascades
roar. and blue mountains in wild confusion
break the horizon. The grand paintings
hung by Nature around the school boy
where he plays and thinks mirror them
selves on the soul, and from them the soul
becomes bold ia coneeiving and daring 40

County Election.

We make this u last appeal to all
good citizens throughout the county to go
to the polls on THURSDAY, and cast your
vote for the men who have beer tried and
who have proved to be good officers. We
think no better selection can be made
than Griffith for Sheriff, Wheeler for
Circuit Court Clerk, Mcpherson for Trus-
tee, and Branscom for Revenue Collector.
These men nave all been tried in their
respective offices, and lave treated the
people as kindly as it was possible for
them to do, and should they again be
elected they will feel under renewed OBJ
legation to all who lend a helping hand in
the contest. In the past they have treated
men of all politics alike, showing no favors
on account of parties, and should they be
selected for an other term the same cour
tesies will no doubt be extended in the
future.

his wreath on the fair head of Miss Anna

ground was delivered By Mr.. VIII Fitz-

great credit. The coronation address was
made by Dir. Henry Carr, in afew but
appropriate words. Altogether the day
was a success and one long to be re mem-

The Leekaul schsel.

All persons who read ave become ac-
quainted with this school, and many know
that its career is ended.
In 1868, Mr.. G.. K. Roberts, of New
York, being DESTROYS of doing something
fol- his fellow being and tho glory of God,
conceived the plan Of establishing a school,
at the best and most accessible point in
the South. where education was but slowly
progressing. Alter consulting several
men of talent and experience, the in
fuence of grand aud sublime natural
scenery being considered as conducive to
the formation of a cbrIstian character, the
expansion and maturity of both physical
and mental ability. having in view tina t
retirement is beneficial for studying aud
moral habits, Lookout Mountain was Sc
lected as the best place to accomplish the
most good. The school was opened in
1866 to both sexes with the best method
of culture. under the control of intelligent,
energetic. experienced and amiable teach
ers, after buildings which were formally
erected being filed up at an expense of
over forty thousand d9llars.
Many students have received pecu-
MARY assistance here, some amounting to
full board and tuition. The existanee of
the school from 1sG6-72, though short,
was most profitable to both students and
officers, and oh, how the hearts of old
Lookout students, all over the LAND, ache
when they think that their dear old.Look-
out Home" that mount of science, where
it was pleasant to all, where many souls
were borued in Christ, where numbers re-
solved to 90 forth and preach the Gospel,
is vacated. Why is it that-such a school
should stop Is it because the founder
was not the right man.? No, for he done
more than he ought to have done. Were
the officers deficient in any way? Not at
all they had EVERY characteristic for
successful teachers.
Was it for the want of patronage! yes;
many labored with zeal and ability, and
the school received the highest patronage
and was the best boarding school in the
South, yet it did not attain to that elevated
standard which /. deserved. 1t isl shame
upon the surrounding country. a disgrace
to the people, yes a natiOnal disgrace to
the South, that when a people bring to us
what We have had to go a great distance
after we will not accept it.
