Effects Truly Wonderful.

CARTERsvILLE, Ga, April 26, 1875.
This will certify that two members OF
my immediate family, after having suffer
ed for many years from menstrual Irregu-
larity, and having been treated without
benefit by various medical doctors, were at
length completely cured by one bottle OF
DIR. j. Bradtield's Female Regulator.
therefore deem it my duty to furnish this
certificate, with the hope Of drawing at
tention Of suffering w%omenkind to the
merits ola medicine whose power in cur
ing irregular and suppressed menstruation
has been proven under my own personal
observation. Its effect on such cases is
truly wonderful, and well may the reme-
dy be called "Woman's Best Friend"
Yours respectfully,
JAS. ". STRANGE.

Our Schools.

Mr.. W. I. Hatch. corresponding ed
itor Of "The Southern Industries"
published in Nashville, visited our
town a few weeks since, and writes as
follows about our schools and county +:
Rarely have we spent as pleasan. a
day as we did in the schools of Win
chester, Franklin county, Tennessee,
which We visited a shor: time since.
At s A. M, by invitation of Dr..
Graves, President of the Mary Sharp
College, we were present at a class rec.
itation in Analysis: at 8 at the Chapel
exercises, and at II to q at a recita-
ton of the Senior Class in Logic.
The drill was the most thorough we
ever witnessed the young ladies' &C
quilted themselves nobly, and show wed,
by their ready and correct answers to
the most critical and trying questions,
that they had been thoroughly taught,
and could grapple, successfully, with
the most complex questions, not found
in their text books, but naturally grow
ing out of the subject of the lessons.
When We saw with our own eyes,
and heard with our wi ears, we did
not wonder at the great popularity this
school has attained, and continues to
maintain through all the disasters that
have befallen the South.
DR.. Graves has been at the head of
this College for 26 years. He is the
right man in the right place. The at
tendance, before the war. some years,
reached over 800; since the war, from
100 10 200; the present year about
$50. About 1870 are from abroad,
from thirteen States. The course of
study is thorough and practical, and
the discipline parental, strict, and such
as secures respect as well as obedience.
The remarkable health of Winches
ter is indicated from the fact that in
nearly 26 years there have been but 20
deaths among the students, and not
one since the war.
THE CARRICK ACADEMY.
This is q school for the education Of
young men and boys. 1t is under the
charge Of Professors Clarke and Bled.
soc, as associate Principals, and is a
school OF high order. The gentlemen
having charge of this institution are
young men OF thorough culture, learned
in their chosen profession, and we
should judge, by our short visit to this
school, and the account given of it by
their patrons, citizens OF Winchester,
that they are doing a noble work.
On the whole, we are very much
pleased with our visit, and a cheer
fully recommend to our Northern
friends this locality, 10 point of schools,
churches, health. a good farming Sec
ton, good water, good water power,
&c., as o very desirable one"

sufficiently large to hold what potatoes

of the pit six inches Of straw, and then
put in your potatoes the same as you
would pit Irish potatoes and cover them
with straw, and let it stay three or foui
days, until they go through " the sweat. u
Then put on more straw and light GOV.
