st James Hall.

We call the attention of those who
have girls to educate, to an ADVERTISE
ment of ST James Hall School, at Boli>
var, Tennessee.
The school is under the direction and
management Of the Rev. John c. MuI>
holland, a teacher of thirty-fige years
experience, with an excellent corps of
experienced teachers. We are pleased
to be able to speak in terms of the highs
est commendation in regard to this insti-
tuition. 1t cannot be said that Bolivar is
behind any town or city in Tennessee, in
the means of comforting a thorough edu-
cation upon the young ladies of our State
There are ms titutions older than the St
James Hall, which have for that reason
a more extended reputation al road, but
we know of none where more faithful
instruction is given, or more earnest con-
sideration is given to improve the minds,
morals aad manners of those who are
educated under its truly parental super>
vision.
Our daughters can be turned out with
as complete aud finished educations now
IN Bolivar, as at any her high school,
and good sense should determine US that
it is time we should cease to send our
daughters abroad for what they can just
as well receive at home. We seem to
think there Is an ecIat attaching to the
idea Of being educated abroad; and that
instruction received of the very same
kind and quality in New Jersey or
Pennsylvania is better than that in Ten
nessee. When we have such in,titu-
tons as St james Hall in cur midst,
We should abandon these old fashioned
notions, which had reason for their fo1n~
dation before we had established schools
of as high order as were then to be found
in the North. Let us support our own
educational institutions when they are as
good if not better than our neighbors.
Keep the money in the South which is
annually sent abroad to build up the
schools Of a remote section, and become
great educational point for those who
have not our means of educating the
young, or our healthful climate or good
society.
Bolivar has several good schools in ad-
dition to St James Hall. a female aud
male school Let US continue to perss~
we're in the cause of educa ton Of the
young; it will soon be known beyond
the limits eff our State that DO section Of
the country can surpass our own in Civ
ing an accomplished and finished educa-
ton to the young people of the South.

dents are dear, we protest against the
idea (Which it is sought by certain news
papers to make general Of gathering the
remains Of our deceased Presidents
around the tomb of Washington, and to
make Mount Vernon truly a National
mausoleum." We love and revere the
memory of our great men too much to
consent that sheir sacred dust should

bosom of our State among the people
upon whom they have reflected somuoh
honor and removal, and their constant
and faithful watchers, to whom they
were dearer even than to their country

a record be kept therein Of all articles

The farmer could display his farm pro-
duets.
Tha mechanic could display his haudi-
craft.
The manufacturer could exhibit his
goods.
The artists could adorn the rooms
with their gems.
The ladies Cf the land could vie with
their liege lords in ontributing from

The scientific man could enliVen the
