take great pleasure in reading and
listening to ingenious writers and
speakers on this subject Being
but a youth myself, in whose wei
fare, l need not tell you, l am deep
ly interested. Their happiness or
misery, their honor or infamy,
entirely depend in my opinion, on
the principles and habits they &C
quire while young, while the
mind is tender and the voice of in.
struction sinks deep. If the bud
be blasted, the tree will yield
no fruit. If the springing corn be
cut down, there will be no harvest
So if the youth be ruined through
fault in their education, the com
mHnity sustalns a loss which can
not be repaired. Therefore we
should be attentive in the choice OF
instructors; to see that they be
men of good unders landing, learn
ing and morals; that they teach by
their examples as well as by their
precept.
1t becomes our painful duty to
add one more name to the list of de-
parted ones. A little child of David
Gooch died on Wednesday, July

when death visits our people, but
it is well enough for US to be re-
minded once in a while that death
is not dead.

Supreme Court Judges.
ROBERT GATES,
Asst Com r

1t is too soon to commence a dis
cussion of the elections a year
hence. But at the earnest request
of a Middle Tennessee democrat,
whose pen and voice have never
been idle or silent in the former
struggles of the democratic party
of Tennessee, we publish in another
column a communication and an
editorial from the Pulaski CITIZEN
suggesting the name of John S.
Wilkes, of Giles, as a democratic
candidate for supreme court Judge.
The Appeal has no candidate for
any Office within the gift of the peo-
pie. But it is ever ready to do JUS
tice to true and reliable democrats
in their aspirations, and it takes
pleasure in endorsing all that is
said of Mr.. Wilkes's ability and
competency. He is in the meridian
of life-in the full splendor
of his intellectual powers, capable
of great labor, and has the energy
and industry TO perform it. He is
4 man Of large business experience,
Of the highest character in all the
relations oflife. His Judgment IS
unerring, his mind is emineHtly lie
gal, knows how to wInnow the nu-
tritious kernels of law and truth
from the Ambiguous husks, and if
elected would make a model SUI
preme judge. Mr.. Wilkes enjoys
large and lucrative practice, and If
he should enter the conto st for nom
ination be would prove a strong
candidate, and if elected would re-
fleet honor upon himself and the
judiciary of the state Appeal.
