As an elegant hair dressing stands Parker's
Hair Balsam, deservedly popular for the
beautiful hair it produces, and its cleansing
and healing properties. Commencing at the
roots, it promotes luxuriant growth of young
hair, and unfailingly restores gray or faded
hair to the original youthful color, giving a
soft, rich and lustrOus appearance of great
beauty. 1t is pleasantly cooling to the scalp,
cleanses it from Dandruff, cures itching and
humors, and stops falling of the hair. 1t is
perfectly harmless, exquisitely perfumed,
never soils the skin or gums the hair, and
pleases everybody by it's many excellent and
attractive qualities. A patron assures us he
has used II different hair preparations and
hat Parker's Hair Balsam supasses them all.

Which School P

There is no lack of schools in our country.
There is no dearth of minds that both need
and demand opportunities for education. But
the schools which honestly and successfully per-
form the work committed to them, few. 1t
becomes, then, matter of deepest sohcitude on
the part of parents, how they may not only
cure to their daughters good instruction, but at
the same time, shield them from temptations to
evil, and thrown around them the safeguards
and kindly influences of a home. 1t is to meet
this want that the MARY SHARP COLLEGE has
been organized-t29 years ago., and is now con-
Quoted. Parents who entrust their daughters
to the care of this institution, may feel sure
that not only will they be well instructed, but
also that their conduct, their culture and health
will be carefully and tenderly guarded, as in
their own home.
study of all schools in Amerca-giving to girls
of our Southland, an education fully equal to
that given in our best Universities for boys.
For nearly an entire generation this institution
has remained, amid the wreck of other schools
and colleges, steadfast and true to the interests
of a cultivated womanhood. 1t is the first and
only College for girls that has from the begin
ming required a knowledge of the Greek Lam
guage in order to obtain her diploma. Its dis
cipline is effective, its drill thorough. Students
are tenderly and unweBriedly trained to be pa
tent persevering, laborious thinkers, able to
reflect, reason, compare and judge for them
fitting them for the duties, trials
and responsibilities of life. Education is held
by this faculty, to be mental development,-no
mental aecretion, nor a stufing process. Their
aim is broad culture, to produce not paint
brushes-but artists; not chisels, but sculptors
to marshal the powers of mind not for single
field, but, for a life's campaign; TO conquer not
a single city, but the world.
Work is the watchwOrd at this College. 1t is
impressed every student that there is no
royal road to learning" that in the fields of
learning there is no society for the slothful, for
these the labOring classes the aristocrocy.
Well-direeted work, whether it be slow or
science are guarded by a sentinel who yields
admission only to that magic countersign-
lcOrk
With pride may Mary Sharp College point to
the hundreds who have gone forth from her
walls-noble-eff neutrality-suspicious. women

judged by their works.

your daughters in the best and highest sense of
that word-send them to Mary Sharp College,

Supervision of Railroad
Corporations.

Kinds County Gazette.
The Meridian papers contains quite a COM
prehensive argument from w. II. Hardy, ESQ.,
of Lauderdale county, on the constitutional
power of the Legislature to supervise railroad
charges. Mr.. Hardy makes it quite clear
and conclusive that the Legislature of Mis-
sissippi has the righ., and should exercise it,
to force the railroads to deal justly with their
customers. The Legislature exercises control
over the charges of tavern keepers, and the
tolls charged by millers, and the rates charged
by drays and hacks, and the weight of and
charges for bakers bread, and the prices that
the poor printer may charge; and yet there
are those who assert that it cannot regulate
the charges of railroads, notwithstanding
some of them were built in a measure by the
bounty of the people bestowed in the way of
lands
