OCR 80110015. —The most difficult and most important question perh*pa for a teacher or board of dirwetors to decide, is the selection of a series of worts to bs taught, and the order in which they ore to be pursued. Though Bedford county ruay rank with any of her asters in point of ed ucation, and can boast of as good schools, and facilities for improving the young as can be found anywhere, it is not owing to the interest manifested by her school boards, nor to then- efficiency in making the above decisions. With our present common school system no one will deny that a uniformity of text-books is the only sure way to success. That we have been laboring under these dis advantages for many years and that our every effort to attain to uniformity has been an inglorious fai'ure because of the careless ness and indifference on the part of the school hoards, and for the want of firmness and energy on the part of some of our teach ers, we all know. Three fifths of the active teachers in the county, the County Buper intendant and the zealous friends of educa tion generally, in common council, have pass ed and repassed, time and again, resolutions to the effect that a uniformity of text books must be effected befora the schools of the county will make the prog; ess they are ex pected. They have implored the directors to assist them in carrying out their resolu tions. and at oUr Normal .Schools and Teach ers' Institutes with the presence and conn I scl of State officers, means have been devis ed whereby this obstacle might be overcome and the convention as a whole, pledged to a man, each fully determined to act his part in furthering the work, have gone to their res pective winter quarters to have their theo ries kicked asunder and condemned as ped agogical air-castles by the parties who rule and regulate our school system. The result of this negligence is enormous and outrage ous taxation for books. Every year we have a new teacher and every year we must have new books, and thus it has been going ou for years: one of the most infamous syste matic impositions with which our people havo ever been afflicted; a useless extrava gant expenditure of money and a stumbling block in the way of progress. If the sur plus books in the country, (those which have been ' ruled out") could he collected together and converted into cash, it would be sufficient to extend our school term two months longer for the next three years. I! the time that has been spent on this change of books had been devoted to the, mastering of one series, what a vast benefit it would have bccu to that large class of young men, mechanics, heads of families, citizens of to day who but a tew years ago were scholars in our common schools? llow much higher would we be on the hill of science, had we not been compelled to climb so many different 1 adders ? This is a question that should ex cite the interest of every man in the county, and it is one that should be the cause of de liberate thought and action, by the school directors. —Notwithstanding the exertions made by other parties to have this uniform ity there are still fifty percent of the schools in the county which have not adopted it, and cannot without the aid of their boards of directors, and as the directors will meet in convention next June to elect a county Superintendent, let them then consider this question and arrive at some definite conclu siou. TIIE Public Spirit of a business community is most easily determined by an examination of the advertising columns of the county pa per.Look whoamongThe business men adver tises most liberally and you miiy set it down without fear of mistake tbat h6 is at once tbe most liberal, energetic and enterprising man of the community. When you have purcha ses to make, buy of such men, they do a large business and are under no necesity of making all their living off of a few unwary customers. Beware of the man who undertakes to do bu siness without advertising or limits himself to a line or two in an out of the way corner, for three or four insertions, he will pinch a penny till the eagle squeals and if he catches a cus tomer he will squeeze him as hard as the penny. We repeat it examine the advertising columns of your paper and beware of buying of those who are not public spirited enough to patronize the newspaper that gives charac ter and standing to community. All such belong to a class of people who board all they make and never expend it in improvements or in anything likely to benefit tbe community or anybody hut themselves. If you doubt this, employ your first leisure half hour in ex amiinng your county paper and comparing the facts with our assertion.

They will procure a box of PLANTATION BITTERS, i which ought to be used up in a month or six i weeks, and upon inquiry it is found that tbey ! have used only two or three bottles. Some j days they have used it according to the direc tions, and otherg have not touched it. The whole trial has been irregular, and of course | a less favorable result has come from their use. Hit be true that "what is worth doing at all is worth doing'well," how emphatically is it true in matters relating to the health. A few bottles of PLANTATION BITTEKS have of ten wrought wonders, while in other instan ces disease has only been subdued after weeks of resistance.

HAIR VIGO It, | FOR TUB RENOVATION OF THE HAIR. THE GREAT DESWERA TUU ->/ tie AGE.' A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the Hair. Faded er <jrny hair it toon rttlortd, lo itt original tolar and tht flon and frethntn of yoi.fA, Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of ten, though not always, cured t>y its uae. Notb. ing can restore the hair where the faMieies are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use. will prevent tbahair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to the hair, the A igor can only benefit but not harm it- If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be foupd so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not aoil white cambric, and yet lasts longer en the hair, giring it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. DR. J. C.
