The Nashville business College was es-
tablished in 1865, BY Prof Earhart, and
soon afterward was admitted into the great
international Association Of Business Col
leges, in which il still maintains a bigh
standing. Prof Earhart, an accomplished
gentleman, conducted the College for save
raj years with good success, and WOO for it
a deserved reputation, and large patronage.
In 1874, death terminated his efforts. and
the College went into the hands Of PROS.
TOney 4 Sutton, Of the Cumberland uni
versity Business College, gentlemen thor
Oughly qualified for their position, and who
by their untiring efforts and energies, have
won the respect and confidence of this bus
iness community.
In order to increase the advantages and
facilities, the Cumberland University
Business College and Telegraph Institute
Of Lebanon, Tenn, have been combined
with the above named institution in this
city, thus constituting Colleges unsurpassed
by any in the land. These Colleges are
centrally lOcated-the Business College On
the corner Of Church and Summer streets,
near the Maxwell House, in one Of the

street. The rooms are large and cOnven-
lent, cheerful and pleasant, well ventilated
and lighted, and easy Of access.
As a city, Nashville has a worldwide
reputation. Il is a great business centre,
and Is rapidly advancing in wealth and
pOputatiOn, numbering already about So
900 Inhabitants. Every branch Of business
is carried forward within its limits, giving
sNrrAo~rfo
bic positions, as also fol-. studying the Vari-
Gus modes Of business enterprise open to
young men. The design Of these Institu-
tons is to prepare young men for whatever
callings may open, or duties may come to
them, and while the instruction is special
and has reference to certain positions and
fields Of labor, the entire course Of training
is calculated to strengthen the mind, and
give broad and substantial culture.
The course Of study in these Colleges is
complete, thorough and practical. The
business course consists Of single and
double entry bookkeeping upon the latest
and best plan, commercial laws, business
arithmetic, business correspondence, includ-
ing every form Of business paper in use,
and plain and ornamental penmanship.
Prof. Goodman, the penman, has an estab-
lisbed reputation throughout the city and
country and has met with great success in
teaching. Telegraphy is taught by sound.
The teachers in this department are Of the
best operators in the United States, having
had years Of experience on regular lines
The prOpriet0rs Of these schools are spar
ing neither labor nor expense IN fulfilling
every promise, and in making their institu-
tons frst-class, and as an evidence Of the
high standing and merits Of these colleges
we refer TO the liberal patronage which
they are receiving from the city and
throughout the South.
This branch Of education is rapidly gain
ing ground in the Southern States. The
commercial world is calling for honest and
thoroughly qualified business men. Young
men Of classical educatiOns find that their
training, in many instances, is inadequate
to the demands Of re Il life, and since We
can now boast a Business College in Nash
vile equaling those Of the North, il is to be
hoped our business men will no longer
send their sons away, but rather try our
home institutions, where as thOrO ugh in
s.rUctiOn is impaired as upon the Hudson
or elsewhere, and al a much less expense.
