BRYANT & SrRArToN's BUSINESS COL
LEGE.-This institution is q flourishinc
"a ever. Every department is unusually
full for this season of the year. Many
changes and improvements have been
made during the summer, and others arc
under way. The enterprising proprictorf
are not content to have good thing, but
are constantly making it better. Every i'm
provement that is suggested is immediately
carried out, irrespective Of cost.
As far as we can judge, there is nothing
wanting to make this College complete in
al it's appointments.
We can say to young gentlemen in wan,
Of business education, that there is nc
higher authority in this country in this de
partment Of education than Bryant 4 Strat
tons Chain Of Colleges.
The ORPHANS HoME FAiR.--The attend.
ance at the Narshalltown Fair is said to be
such as to disappoint the expectations OIL
those who have its management. This is
not from the want Of on interest in this
matter by the people Of our State, but from
the lack Of accommodations at Marshall
town, the sparse settlement Of the surround
ing country, and the lack ofA centering o
railroads At that place. These facts exhib
it great oversight in the managers. As
far as Davenport is from central point o
the State, we believe the Fair would hav,
! been more remunerativc here than there
The display Of goods is very creditable, bu'
the sales will be small, and of course tn,
proceeds Also We suggest that il the Fail
prove failure at Marsballtown, that ths
goods be transported to Davenport (Which
can be done with but little cost and W,
are certain that the proceeds will answer
the most sahguine expectations.
