SOUTHERN PLANTER.— ADVERTISING SHEET. 



Southern Female Institute. 



Richmond, Va, 



THE Principals of the Southern Female In- 

 stitute, with this announcement of its 7lh session, 

 tender their thanks to the Puhlic for their liberal and in- 

 creasing patronage they have received at its hands. 



As this Institution has its origin in individual enter- 

 prise and has been fostered neither by aid from the 

 State, nor by denominational influence, it is with pride 

 that they point to the appended list of patrons, believ- 

 ing as they do that it evinces the estimation in which 

 their labours in the cause of female education are held 

 by men of eminence arid high character. 



The Principals are Virginians, and were educated in 

 Va. They selected teaching for a Profession and have 

 devoted themselves earnestly to it for a nu nber of 

 years in their native state. Relying upon the support 

 of the Southern people they established, six years ago, 

 this Institution, Southern in every feature and in all 

 its teachings. No expense has been spared to make it 

 worthy of patronage, and they hope to be supported 

 in the effort to make the South independent of North- 

 ern schools and teachers. 



The Boarding Department will hereafter be under 

 the immediate and sole control of D. Lee Powell who 

 has taken a large new house on the South-Eust corner 

 of 1st and Franklin Streets, for the purpose of accom- 

 modating a number of young ladies as Boarders. 



The Principals are determined that the opportunities 

 offered for acquiring a thorough knowledge of the 

 French and other modern Languages in their school, 

 shall be equal to those of any institution in the country. 

 One or more Parisian ladies will reside in the family of 

 Mr. Powell, who will be required to converse habitu- 

 ally in French with the Boarders. 



The most experienced and accomplished teachers of 

 music, vocal and instrumental, in the city will he em- 

 ployed, and every effort will he made to secure im 

 provement in this valuable accomplishment. Jt will 

 be the duty of o le of the teachers to see that the music 

 scholars practice regularly and proper ty.

THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. 



RICHMOND, JUNE, 1856. 



TO ADVERTISERS. 



The Southern Planter having a large circu- 

 lation in Virginia and North Carolina and a 

 very respectable subscription list in. the other 

 Southern and Western States, offers one of the 

 best mediums to advertisers that the State af- 

 fords. Those who take it are almost exclusively 

 farmers, substantial men who live in the coun- 

 try; the best customers to every trade, (except 

 the lawyers,) the very class whom advertisers 

 desire to reach. To Boarding Schools and 

 Academies, the Hotel Keeper, the Druggist, 

 the Dentist, the Nurseryman, and in short to 

 all who have anything to sell or anything to make 

 known, the " Southern Planter" is recommended 

 with confidence not only on account of the high 

 character of those who subscribe to it, but like- 

 wise by the fact that it possesses the additional 

 advantage of being printed in Book form and 

 stitched, it is therefore more apt to be preserved 

 than an ordinary newspaper, which gives to ad- 

 vertisers a better chance of keeping themselves 

 before the people. 



The increased business of this department of 

 the "Planter" since it has been undertaken 

 proves that those who have tried it, find it to 

 their interest to encourage the enterprise. 

 ADVERTISEMENTS 



Will be inserted at the following rates : — For 

 each square of ten lines, first insertion, One 

 Dollar; each continuance Seventy -Five Cents. 



Advertisements out of the City must be ac- 

 companied with the money to insure their inser- 

 tion.
