A BUSINESS EDUCATION
Ia What Every Boy Needs--A Splendid Business College Opened
 In Pine BIun

For the first time in the history of Pine Bluff, this city now has Q first-class Business and Commer- cial College established here, and it will be of vast benefit to our young men who are desirous of obtaining 0 thorough business education to fit them for the duties of life.
 Some months ago Prof. T. 5. Nettleton, one of the best known, thorough and practical business educators in the county, arrived in. Pine Bluff and set about establish ing a business college. He reeeiv- ed, at first, great Encouragement, but looking over the field and seeing the need of such an institution, he was not the least discouraged, and persevered in the work, and as re. suit, on Monday morning at 9 o'clock, will open a school in an elegantly equipped school room on the second floor of the Ingram block, on the corner of Fourth ave nue aud Pine street, with hatter- ing attendance of pupils.
 Prof Nettleton formerly had en- tire management of the Searcy Business College, where by his excellent work he gained a most enviabIe reputation as an educator. His school in tAis city gives promise of being even more complete, in it's
 line, than the one conducted at Searcy. It will be fitted up with every convenience and the desks and furniture is ali that could be desired. The school room is large, cool and well ventilated. This college and that at Searcy are the only ones in the State that use the enter communication system. By this system spondence is carried on between colleges of different States, goods ordered, shipments made, etc. This ''prae- uice" is done under code of busi ness" and is very fascinating to the pupil, aud is productive of highly satisfactory results to all concerned. The student follows the direction of program which is so arranged that all the ordinary forms of busi- ness are brought into requisiton.
 Books are kept of all transactions performed. illustrating both single and double entry.
 In the second division the students general knowledge, both of principles and practice, is brought to the final test. Here is real counting-house work. It is conducted in handsome, well-equip- ped offices. In each office the trans actions performed, the correspond ence, the forms, vouchers and the bookkeeping are arranged and conducted to illustrate each of the following lines of business: Retail, Shipping, Transportation of Freight, Commission, Wholesale and Banking. Through the bank all the foreign firms, and all other business transactions incidental to regularly equipped banking establishment is done.
 No young man can afford to miss this opportunity of taking a com mercial course under Prof. Net tleton. There are many young men in Pine Bluff who cannot attend school during the day, owing to the fact that they must work for their livelihood, and heretofore, have been debarred from abtaining schooling. For these young men Nettletons Business College will be blessing, for in about two weeks he proposes to open night school, in conjunction with his day school. Should you desire to be- come a scholar and take course in bookkeeping or shorthand. call on Prof. Nettleton and he will be pleased to give you terms and full Dartictllars.
