Practical Business College, Nashville, Tenn.

Nashville College twelve months, but he has
for years kept boOes for some of The largest
firms in Tennessee and Kentucky. He will be
assisted by other competent teachers.
This branch school became u neces-

difficult to accommodate its large attendance
from the West and other sections. 1t will give
the same advantages as given i'll the Nashville
school. II is generally known that Prof.
D%ranshon's course of bookkeeping is consid-
