Woman’* Br>l Friend,—To relieve the
aching heart of woman and bring joy where
Borrow reigned supreme, is a mission before
which the smiles ot kings dwindle in- \
•to utter insignificance. To do this is the pecul
iar province of Dr.-J. Biadfieid’s Female Regu
lator; which from the numberless cures it has
accomplistied, is appropriately styled Woman's
Best Friend. The distressing complaint known
as the ‘‘whites,” ami the various iiregiiiaiitics
of the womb, to which woman is subject disap
pear like magic before a single bottle of this ;
wonderful compound. It is prepaied by L. II.
Bradfield, Druggist, Atlanta, Ga , and sold at
$1.50 per bottle by respectable Dmg men eve
rywhere. Physicians prescribe it. Its action is
prompt, sure and decisive.
Eon- in Perfect Health.
Near Marietta,^Ga., March 21,1870.
Meurs. ir*. Root \ Sons —Gent.emeu :—
Some months ago I bought a bottle of Bradfield’s
Female Regulator from you, aud have used it
an my family with the utmost satisfaction, and
have recommended itto three other families and
they have found it just what it is recommended,
■The females who have used your Regulator are
nowiin perfect health, and are able to attend
io their household duties, and wo cordially rec
■ommendit to fhe public.
Yours respectfully,
Rev. H. B. JOHNSON.

The latest in-door amusement is
termed the Printer’s Delight, and is
performed in the following manner:
■“Take a sheet of note paper, fold it
carefully and enclose a bank note
sufficiently large to pay up arrears,
and a year in advance. And what
adds immensely to the feat is to send
along the name of a new subscriber
with cash to balance. Keep your
eye on the printer, and if you detect
a smile, the trick is a success.” Try
it!

sion ne respected his rights and ofs
j fered to buy the situation from him.
This he did, paying him a money
consideration for the place. This
j was fair dealing between man and
man. In 1872 I moved to Milledge
ville, where I hope to spend the
I remnant of my life, and being a
| school-teacher by profession as well
as 15 years experience, as a matter
of course, I would have been glad
to secure the Academy school, but
I founif Mr. Cone in possession, and
not being willing to attempt to buy
him out, I did not disturb him in
any way, but contented myself with
j such a school as I could secure in
another section of the city. In 1874,
Mr. Cone voluntarily abandoned the
school, moved away from Milledge
ville and taught in another portion
of the State. I then applied to the
Trustees for the Academy school,
was elected and have taught one
year and intended to continue, but,
I as before remarked, I suddenly find j
! myself “put out”, without ceremony j
or courtesy and Mr. Cone “put in.” i
I have never had the slightest inti- j
mation from Mr. Cone, the City I
Council, Trustees, or any one else '
that such a projeet was even con- !
templated until the whole thing was j
consummated, and even now I learn ;
it only through the newspapers. If j
I have shown myself an incompetent
teacher, or otherwise misbehaved
myself, the Trustees have never in
timated to me that they thought so.
Now I appeal to the good people of
Milledgeville, if I have not been
badly treated by somebody—by all
who have had anything to do with
this matter ?
It seems from the proceedings of
a called meeting of the City Council
of recent date that Mr. Cone has
very quietly been making proposi
tions to the Trustees, City Council,
or some of its members, with a view
of securing a sort of lifetime posses
sion of the Academies, with an ex
pectation, no doubt of absorbing all
the other schools in the city. This,
to be sure, would be quite a nice
thing for Mr. Cone, and while I have
not the slightest objection to his
legitimate efforts to build up his
own interest, yet I am not quite
willing that he should do so at my
expense.
Just here allow me to say, Mr.
Editor: that there was an act passed
by the Legislature, a year ago,
granting the Trustees the privi
lege of turning over this school
property into the hands of the.City
Council, they having previously ex
pressed a desire to get it in posses
sion. Now is it not a little remark
able that the Council has persistent
ly refused, up to this time, to re
ceive this property, or have any
thing to do with it, while it was pro
posed to convert it into a good pub
lie school, such as every other city
iu the State has 1 ? but now, they seem
quito willing to receive it when a
great mammoth private school is
proposed. It is no less remarkable,
that as Mr. Cone proposes to run
this school entirely at his ovra ex
pense, he could not just well have
contracted with the Trustees as the
City Council!
Why the necessity, where is the
point in the Trustees turning prop
erty over to the city, where neither
is to be at any expense? The solu
tion to these quiries is easy and is
to be found in the fact, that the
Council is opposed to any public
school in this city, and of course op
posed to me because I advocate pub
lic schools. In the second place
there must needs bo a little wire
working, shuffling and shifting in
order to shift the school out of my
hands into Mr, Cone’s without ap
pearing to CIO metllG great injustice t MAYOR at the ensuingeity election—first Wed

in Milledgeville than ever before
and will never rest content till we
have it.
To any and all who may have been
persuaded to believe that Mr. Cone
can teach school and I cannot, I
will say that while I do not and nev
er have questioned his ability to
teach, I now challenge comparison
with him in every essential requisite
of a school teacher. I propose to
show in the first place a better rec
ommendation of qualification than
he can, in the second, as good and
reliable certificates of success as he
possibly can show.
I WILL resume the exercises of my School,
! in good aud comfortable rooms in the south end
of the State House, on Monday, the 10th of Jan-
uary. The citizens of Milledgeville are inform
j ed in another place in this issue bow aud why
