Judson Institute.
In another column is an advertisement
of Judson Institute for young ladies, at
Marion, Ala. Rev. R. G. Patrick, D. D.,
formerly pastor of the Baptist churches
of Yorkville and Union, and so we'll
known and so highly esteemed by hum
dreds of people in this county, is presi-
dent. Judson Institute has been estab-
lished 60 years, and for many years past
has taken the front rank among the
female colleges Of the south. The hand
some building in which it has its home is
an evidence of its prosperity; but so far
as its efficiency is concerned, the people
of this section want no better guarantee
than the fact that DR.. Patrick is at its
head.

however, could not be satisfactorily es-

within a few hours of each other, and
both went off the same way-swelling
up, sweating freely, and dropping from
their feet in very short time after having
eaten the suspicious fodder. The dead
mules have already been replaced by an
other pair,
