At present there are two candidates
for the seat on the Supreme Bench
made vacant by the resignation of
Judge Nelson. The names of these
two aspirants are J. Burch Cooke and
Judge Mcfarland. AS neither has
seen fit 10 announce themselves here
the people are in blissful ignorance as
to their respective claims of merit
Judge Mcfarland, fine lawyer and n
noble gentleman, but at the same time
we think that the seat belongs clearly
to Col. Cooke, for this reason. Judge
Mcfarland comes from the far eastern
point of the State, section that has
already one judge on the bench, III the
person OF Judge Deaderick, conse-
quently we think that the race belongs
clearly to Col. Cooke, who is gen.
tleman of fine attainments, an erudite
scholar, and one of the finest jurists
the State boasts of. Col. Cooke served
through the war under our own gal
liant Cheatham, and we hope our boys
of Coffee will give him rousing vote.
He is every way competent 10 fill the
position and will prove an honor to
the State and himself.

HON. HENRY WILSON.
4 Sketch of His Life and Services
The Poor Farmers Apprentice, the
ShOema X err and the Senator.

Mr.. Wilson Jeremiah Colbath) was
born in Pennington, New Hampshire,
on the 10th of February, 1872. His
parents. Mr.. and. Mrs. Goliath, being
very poor, he was apprentieed at ten
wears of age to a farmer in his native
town, ('town" in New England
means township with whom he con-
tinucd eleven years, during which
period he was sent to poor school
at irregular intervals, amounting in
all to about one year. He early
formed a taste for reading, and from
a private library in the neighbOrhood
borrowed and read on Sundays and
of evenings, by freight and moon
light, in the course of his hard agri-
cultural apprenticeship, nearly one
thousand volumes, chilley of history
and biography.
On attaining his majority he quit
ted Pennington, and with all his
worldly possessions packed on his
back, walked to Natick, Mass, where
he hired himself to a shoemaker un-
til he learned his trade, at which he
worked for two years, at the end of
which period, having accumulated
some money, he returned to New
Hampshire where he studied for a
while in the academies at Stafford,
Wolfsborough and Concord. His
plan of education was cut short by
the insolvency of the person to whom
he had entrusted his savings, and he
returned to Natick and resumed work
as a shoemaker, in 1888. Then it was
that he finally shook the dust of the
Granite State from his shoes, or bare
feet, as the case might have been, and
threw off, also, his name of jeremiah
Goliath. and assumed that of Henry
Wilson, which he has since made
honorable without comforting any
honor upon his family name. Why
he changed his cognomen we know
not. Perhaps he did not deem Col
bath pretty name; and maybe
thought jeremiah too suggestive of
lamentations. Possibly some Of his
kin disgraced the name of Goliath
At all events, he had some reason en-
tirely satisfactory to himself for put
ting off the old aud putting on the
new name. Why he chose Wilson we
know not; bat hope it was his moth
cr's maiden name.
In 1910, the illustrious subject of
this sketch took an active part in the
memorable presidential canvass of
that year and made upward of sixty
speeches for "Tippecanoe and Tyler
too" the Wing candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-Presidcnt, not dream
ing that he, thirty-two years thereaf-
ter, would, like Tyler, be found run

ing the next Eve years, Mr.. Wilson
one Coibath) was three times elected
member Of the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts as a Representative from
Natick, and twice as Senator from
Middlcsex county. In the Legisla-
ture he soon became known as an ac-
| tive and Jealous opponent of Slavery
and in lS45 he was selected, in con-
| junction with John Greenleaf Whlttl-
er, the Quaker Poet" to convey to
Washington the great antl-slavery
petition or remonstrance of Massa-

The Castle Of ST. Angelo.

A wonderful history could this

It's a high circumstance that while
Thomas Carlyle was, amidst the lone
lv hills of Craigenputtock, steadily
shaping out the idea of Il task ordaln-

gaining the same revelation in the
solitude of his prison. Neither of
these had heard of the other until

LARGER CRoPS.-We must raise
larger crops, and to do this must raise
them less frequently. This is the kew
note of the coming improved system
of American agriculture in all sections
where good land is worth less than
one hundred dollars per acre. In the
neighborhood of large cities, and
wherever land commands high price,
we must keep our farms in a high
state of fertility by the purchase Of
manures or cattle food Those of Us
in the interior, where we cannot buy
manure. must raise fewer grain crops
and more clover. We must aim to
raise forty bushels OF wheat, itIy
bushels of barley, eighty bushels Of
oats. one hundred bushels Of shelled
corn, and five bushels Of clover seed
per acre. That this can be done on
good, well-drained land, from the un-
aided resources of the farm, | have
no doubt. 1t may give Us no more
grain to sell than at present, but il
will enable us to produce much more
mutton, wool, beet, cheese, butter AID
pork than at present.-"But. then,
will there be 4 demand for meat, wool,
etc. ?" The present indications are
highly favorable But we must aim
to raise good meat The low priced
beef and mutton sold in our markets
is as profitable to the consumer aS it
is to the produeer.-We must feed
higher, and TO do this to advantage
we must have improved stock There
is no profit in farming without good
tillage, larger crops, improved stock
and higher feeding-Joseph Harris.
