FOUNTAIN CITY.

On Thursday February /, I'VE bid loved
ones at home a friendly adieu, for a
short while, and started on a Journey
for the Holbrook Normal College at the
above place. W. boarded the vesti-
bule at Jonesboro at $40 P. NJ. and
arrived in Knoxville at 4;30. Here we
changed cars for Fountain City, and in
a few minutes were at our destination.
We found President Holbrook in his
room busily engaged. We talked with
him a few minutes and then told him
our object in calling on him. He at
once assigned us q ROOM. Then we
called on the Librarian and received
such books as We needed. We do not
have to purchase any books except such
as we need in a course OF book keeping.
A person a rent any book that they
need for ten cents per copy for a period
OF eight weeks. Some one may think
that eight weeks would be a short time
to persue n study But | think if that
person would cone here and let Prof.
Holbrook and his corps of teachers have
IA tew hacks at him, he would be con
WINGED OF his erroneous idea. For this
Is just simply no place foridlers. Three
or iour text books are as many as one
needs TO study, and then We have to
study with all our mental powers to
prepare our lessons for recitations. |
can say in behalf of the college that |
think it is u good institution. Prof.
Holnrook has select, d a good corps of
teachers. Some OF the most highly ed
ucated and most talented men in the
State are instructors here. We will
mention one in particular, and that is
w. NJ. Greenlee AM, MD. Ph.D. He
is Vice President, Professor of Ian.
guages and History. He is a minister
If the gospel of the Presbyterian faith.
He was once a foreign Missionary to
China and a speak 10 languages.
There are also other good instructors
here but | will not mention them now.
We don't think that any young mar or
lady who is contemplating getting an
education could do better than to come
to this place. The expenses are very
low. Tuition costs IS per term of eight
weeks. A room well furnished for
$500 per session, good board for So per
month. So we do hope that some OF
the Washington County boys anu girls
will decide to come to this place. We
would be eve SO glad if the merchant
at Harmony or some other good writer
OF that place would give q few articles
to the Herald and Tribune. In our next
article we will give a description of the
college and its surroundings.
ONE OF H Boys.
Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any
thing but pleasant for a man of a fam
lily to contemplate, wether he is a la
borer, mechanic, merchant or publish
er. Jas. o. Jones, publisher of the
Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed
for ten days with the grip during its
prevalence a year or two ago. Later in
the season he had a second attack. He
says: I'm the latter case | used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy with consider
able success, l think, only being in bed
a little over two days. The second at
tack l am satisfied would have been
equally as bad as the first but for the
use of this remedy" 1t should be borne
in mind that the grip is much the same
as a very severe cold and requires preci-
sely the same treatment. When you
wish to cure a cold quickly and effect
ually give th 8 remedy a trial. 20 and
