from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, Marf’h 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first eojisideration, and in orler
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—these who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the N orcross High School.
From Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol

Sarsaparilla
$ -Pg. 1 L widely known
jS A as one of the most
fl e ® ectu& l remedies
JIFW ever diseovered for
cleansing the sys
tern ana purifying
the blood. It has
stood the test of
years, with a con
stantly growing rep-
HMMr ■ utation, based on its
intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re
markable cures, So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such os the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination, Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,
of Scrofiila, and all scrofulous diseases,
Ulcers, Entptions, and eruptive dis
orders of the skin, Tumors* Blotches,
Boils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores. St.
Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipe
las, a Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald
Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul“
derations of the Uterus, Stomach,
and Liver. It also cures other com
plaints, to which it would not seem esjieci
ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep
sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
Leucorrho&a, when they are manifesta
tions of the scrofulous poisons.
It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing ths
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless lan
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of
life.

Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
ean affirare our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
or Faded Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous* and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the Best Prepa
ration for its intended purposes.”

1 quickly and effectually accomplish
this result. It is easily applied,
and produces a color which will
neither rub nor wash off. Sold by
