Mr.. Norval Ferguson, of Athens, Ga,

ADVICE TO You've HUsBANDs.-The
Rev. &C. Goss, during lecture in New

habits, young man. DON'T get into the
habit Of neglecting the little courtesies
o life in your home. Just see the yonng
men in bobtsil horse. car sit forward on

young woman enters the car they watch
for the first chance TO put her fare in the
box. Why don't you watch iuat as eager.

The students who are now filling these

Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and OHIO.
Therefore we would ask the following
questions:
l. What other Business College can
show as many applications made to them
by business men, in the short space of four
months?
2. Who is better able to judge of the
qualifications of young men, than the mer-
chants and business men themselves?
3. What more substantial endorsement
can an institution have, than to receive fire.
quent applications from BUSINESS MEN
who wish to employ its STUDENTS, also
when LEADING MERCHANTS and others
purchase its stock at a premium:
4. Is it not commendable for such an
institution to place its advantages within
the reach of young men in ALL PARIS
OF THE SOUTH, by establishing at con-
siderable cost, chain of such institutions !?
s. Is it not better for school to refer to
the numerous applications from business
men, than for it to say 1--WE teach the best
commercial course in the South ~
Goodmans College has NO THREE MONTHS
OR PARTIAL COURSE. Hence the success of
our STUDENTS.

Fashion, Avarice and Appetite.

Owing to various circumstances the au-
dience was not SO large at the chapel of the
Second Church last night as the worth and
ability of the lecturer, Hon. E. Carswel,
naturally merit. The occasion was lecture
by him on Fashion, Avarice and Ape
tite." Like the ancient Roman, he thought
his audience was from the cream of the CITY,
but not from the most fashionable part He
attacked the drinking habit as a cruel fash
ion which ought to be suppressed and said
it was the only fashion that didn't change
The lecturer thought that moral suasion
was insufficient, and that it was best to be
in earnest, and fight fire with fire He took
issue with the right of government
to license a traffic and then use
all the power it had to spoil
the business. Speaking of the power of
,avarice, he said that he believed that if the
same money could be made in saving men
that is In running them, there would not be
a drop of liquor sold in the city graphic
picture was given of the power of appetite
in his own case and others, showing how
nearly powerless the drinker becomes, and
urged that all leniency should be shown,
and aid be given any one who was trying to
overcome the baleful habit and rise into the
atmosphere of true manhood The lecture
was interspersed throughout by those inim-
liable stories, many from personal expert
ence, which Mr.. Carswell SO aptly re-
lated. This is his last appearance in Knox
vile, for some at least. All friends of tenn
perauce wish him success and hope for his
return.
Mr.. Carswell has, while in East Tennes-
see, found four divisions of the Sons of
Temperance; one at Knoxville with %
members, one at Maryville with Is members,
one at New Market with II members, and a
fiourishing division at Jonesboro with 4G
names enrolled. His next appointment is
at Athens.

Curtis Display of Jewelry.

In passing the new and elegant store of
f. w. Curtis, opposite the Hattie House,
our attention was called to his magnificent
show window filled with the choicest speci-
mena of the jewellers art. On entering the
store we were surprised at the display; dia-
monds, rubies, sapphires, and other prec-
ious stones mounted in the most exquisite
designs. French mantel clocks chimming
the quarter hours; silverware in chaste and
original designs in fact, everything that
could be thought of to feast the eye or
heighten female loneliness. We think his
stock is the handsomest ever shown in
Knoxville. Do not fail to call early, as the
most beautiful goods are being rapidly dis
disposed Of We think visit to Mr. Cur
it's store will repay you.

A MiSTAKENIpEA.

This idea of becoming an accountant in
three months and less time has produced
damaging results. 1t has caused many bust
ness men to look with contempt on Bust
ness Colleges, as they believed it impossible
for young men to thoroughly master the
commercial branches in so short time;
and young men themselves, who attend the
College SO short a time, generally go home
feeling afraid to risk themselves in business
or with FIRMS books. 1t would be better
not to have cent of their money than to
take part of it, and not sufficiently qualify
them as accountants that they may be able
to earn back the money invested in their
business education.
Time Required. time required to
complete the Course depends entirely upon
the Students application and ability. A
Student who completes in four months is a
bright student, and has wasted no time. No
Student need be discouraged in FIVE months
for that is a reasonable time. While any
Student who expects to do much, when he
comes in contact with the active business
world, ought to complete in six months. The
College rooms are open for instruction and
work the entire day and on Saturdays.
Students can receive instruction any hour OF
the day or after school sessions, and dill
gent Students can put in much extra time.
The Session for 1882 open January 2.
