L. L. COLEMAN.

AMONGST the many complimentary
notices given US by the press of this
city, we know of none which we deem
as coming with so much heartfelt sin
cerity, as the following from the Nash
peHe Daily Union
"At period like the present, when our
city is filled to OvertioWing with a transient
population, and diseases prevail TO an ex-
tent hitherto undreamt Of, it is proper that
the means Of cure should be Of ready &C
cess, and that those Immediately interested
should have information which will lead
them to avail themselves Of competent
Medical ad sice. Men Who have been edu-
Gated in the best schools of the profession
Of Medicine, and been successful in prac-
tice Of many years, are surely worthy Of
confidence; if they have given their atten-
ton exclusively 10 one branch of the pro-
lession, aud made themselves masters Of it,,
they have still more right to expect sup
port, more particularly if they have afford
ed proof Of their ability to cure. To this
latter class belongs DR.. L. L. COLEMAN,
who, in his specially, has been benefactor
to the afflicted, and may ever be relied on
as q safe and sure physician"
We respectfully inform our friends
that we may still be found at our Office,
relieving those afflicted with

NAsHvILLE FEMALE ACADRMY.-On the 18th
of July, 1916, the founders Of this Tnstilu-
ton, in the FIRST article Of their solemn
compact, said " We form ourselves into an
association and company for the purpose Of
advancing, promoting and meliOrating fe-
male education, by the name Of the Trus
tees Of the Nashville Female Academy"
Stockholders and Trustees, for now fifty
years, have kept this purpose aud this pur-
pose only in view. Hence, think, that
viii be the most suitable dsy--July nth,
Is66-on which TO re-dedioate these grounds
and buildings.
We hope, TO be able, to make the day
worthy Of the memory of those old men,
all, now in their graves-except Hon. VIM.
B. Lewis, interesting TO their children and
grandchildren, instructive, to the public,
in regard to the half century just past and
suggestive Of an equally glorious future
for this, Institution. At an early day,
hope to be able, to issue my final circular
giving to the public all needed information
in regard to the Old Academy-as Day
and Boarding School for Young Ladies.

tiff and defendant to do the same yet
1t would certainly be much cheaper, and
more business could be done ia one day
than is now done in a week, and cases
would not have to "lay over" until they
spoil. The "profession of honor" is an
honorable profession yet to those Of its
voteries who aspire to the true dignity of
their Office. It is the pettifogger who
has brought contempt upon the profession.
Because he is sworn to be true to his eli
ent is no reason why man should be un-
true to himself and an ennobling charac-
ter. IF he has the bad side of the case
he must use every honorable means to
show what is favorable for his client and
which will tend to tighten the penalty
incurred. But his oath should not urge
him to go one step further.
I suppose it will be good while yet
before men practice that little rule, edo
as you would be done BY" and so we
must have courts until that time comes.
IF one half Of the world acted on this
principle the other half would have no.
body to fight with and there would be no
fighting. But spunky, selfish nature
seems to be spunky as ever and SO the
war of neighbors goes on,-a war of COW
etousness, of jealousy, of SANDER, of wick
edness.
There is another Bar, my friend,
Where you, a prisoner, shall attend;

School Matters.

The Department of Common Schools of
Pennsylvania recently made the following
decisions, which will be of interest to the
people of every district in the State:
/ That the time for issuing the warrants
for the State Appropriation to school districts
has been changed by the act of April, 1865,
until after the close of the Common Schools
for the school year.
1t is not legal, in any case TO keep
school open on Saturdays.
Scholars, whose parents have legal resi-
dence in one district, cannot legally attend
the schools of another district, merely by 60
| ing in that district to work for their board,
with the intention of attending school, and
returning TO the residence of their parents
when the school has closed.
