and a good business education nearer
home Special offer. On June the
18th Draughon's Practical Business
College, Nashville, Tenn, will open
a branch school in Texarkana, under
the management of Prof. II. r. Lu-
man, who has not only served as
principal of Draughon's Nashville
College twelve months, but he has
for wears kept books for some of the
largest firms in Tennessee and Ken
lucky. He will be assisted by other
competent teachers. This branch
school became a necessity, as the
Nashville College found L difficult TO
accommodate its large attendance
from the west and other sections. It
will give the same advantages as
given in the Nashville school. IL Is
generally known that Prof. Draugh-
on's course of bookkeeping is cod
sidered by business men by far the
best in the Union, while the other
departments are second to none.
Prof. Draughon's College guarantees
positions under reasonable condi-
tions. Those who enter the Texar-
kama school within a reasonable time
will receive a special discount. For
