Apology —The editor of the Times is absent this week, in Middle Georgia, arid we have consented to assume the responsibility of getting np the local news of the week. If any shorlconm ings are apparent in the quantity or quality of the same, it will be attribu° table to the fact of his absence,together with the incapacity of his “sub”— However, as Jefferson once said, “Error ceases to be dangerous, when reason is left free to combat it.” We make this an* nouncement for the reason that, if any thing objectionable appears in the tenor of our scribbling, we don’t want to shift the burden of public sen iment from our shoulders to those of the editor; ar,d. if meiitorious to any extent, vice verm.

Experience of a Young Woman. A country girl, young, pretty, and hup-y. her step was elastic and the roses of health bloomed upon her check One spring morning she was overtaken by a “spring shower,” and caught a cold. It was her “ particular time,” and suppression was the result. At the next “period” nature refused to act. — She became sallow, swollen, and suffer ed intensely with pain in the back and “lower stomach,” palpitations, diffi i culty of breathing, indigestion and | headache. Doctors failed to palliate 1 her distressed condition, and she longed f..r death as the only hope of relief. — At the instance of a friend, who her self experienced its benefits, she was induced to try Dr Brudfield’s Female Regulator. One bottle cured her. She was ftgtiin the hap n y girl she was that April morning before ihe shower.
