~onA ArUuAlln DcuUCEAcks
The voluntary retirement Of this
fine old gentlemen a few days ago from
the office Of Clerk Of the Supreme
Court at Knoxville, at the age Of rs,
is an event to be noted. For twenty
sven years he had served with marked
ability and fidelity in the Office Of
Clerk and Master in Ohancery ct
J~onesboro, When the late Judge
Nelson came upon the Supreme Bench
in 1870, he very warmly urged upon
his colleagues the appointment Of Mr..
Deaderick to the high Office Of Clerk
Of the Supreme Court. Judge Nell
son had praeticed all bis professional
life in the court Of which Mr.. Desde.
rick was the Clerk and Master, and in
addition to his admiration for the
man. he knew his inestimAble value as
an officer. To the other judges he
was quite unknown, personally, except
to his brother, the present distin
guished Chief Justice, who had moth
ing to say in the matter. After this
long and faithful service in these most
delicate trusts, be now retires to pri
vate life in an honored old age, with.
out a blot upon his record. Within
that long period he has handled
hundreds OF thousands of dollars Of
trust moneys and there is not a figure
out Of place in his vast account. In
these distempsred times Of fraud and
population, a record SO pure and clean
as this is rare to be seen. He might
have grown rich as the adroit rogues
Of the present day are doing, by spec
ulating upon the public funds, and
then, in some ingenious way, putting
out al their tracks But no man eau
point to q crooked transaction in all
his long career. Even through the
disasters Of the civil war he was the
faithful custodian Of every dollar
committed to his charge, and no mar
ever went to him for a settlement that
he did not get a prompt and an honest
one. Always urbane and always a
gentleman, official intercourse with
him was rather a pleasure than a vexa,
tiou. The press is called upon every
day % herald a shattered trust or a
blighted reputation and tits refresh
log to know that now and then an
example, such as this. may be found,
to proclaim to the rising generation
that human nature is not quite lost.
