GSMOTHERS-Tbere is an adver-
tisement in this number of our paper, to which we
wish to call your special attention. We do so,
not because we are paid for doing it-for the pro-
prietor has not much as requested US to do So
but from the fact that we sincerely believe it
deeply interests you and your children to know
what is there communicated. We refer TO thirty
years experience Of n female physician in the
shape OF Mrs. Winslows Stoothing Syrup for
children teething. Tens of thousands of children
die yearly during the process o cutting teeth; and
hundreds of thousands barely escape death, pass
life of suffering, diseased in body and enfeebled
in mind-all of which results from a dsorganiza
ton of the system during the process of tcething.
Mrs winslow, in her profession, had an oppor,u.
nifty to witness much of this suffering, and has
prepared medicine To meet the cuse--simple, yet
erfec,ly effective an sure. Just the remedy
needed We know it acts like magic, giving al
most instant relief to the little suffer-having
witnessed the most pleasing results from the use
of it in great number of cases No discovery in
medicine for the last hundred years will compare
with it in its benefit to the race, in our opinions;
and the name of one female physic ian, Mt least,
will be imortalized by this medicine nllw4

fact that large majority of the teachers in
Holmes County by no means stand No in their
profession. This being the then we very
naturally inquire, why is this Where does tie

themselves, but the greater responsibility rests
upon the Examiners. In the first place, the
standard of qualification is not high enough by so

Quoted in Holmes county n mere sham ? This is
n strange question truly, but let us investigate n
step or two, and "see what we shall see.'
While some of best teachers in the county re-
ceved certificates for nine months, there are 9th
ers who are almost entirely destitute of even the
first elements ,of an English education, whose
morals are not unquestionabe. and who, during
the past winter, utterly failed both ia government
and qualifications: vet when these persons pre-

down to read, and a boy come along and asked
me if Douglas was dead. My answer to him was,
