necessary to conduct a business as it

LEXINGTON BUSINESS COLLEGE
A Strong Oak Tint From a Little Acorn
Grew = One of the Substantial and
Thorough Business Colleges
of the West.

SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRrTISG.
In this day of commercial activity,
shorthand has become an Indispensable
factor in every branch of business. The
demand fer competent stenOgraphers is
growing daily, and good ones can always
obtain employment ut fair salaries. 1t is
often the stepping stone To II higher posi-
tion, and the young man who goes into
an office as stenographer and gives close
and faithful attention to the business of
his employer advances step by step, until
he finds himself intrusted with the man
agement of his employers business. This
department is under the supervision of
the president of the college. Pupils are
thoroughly drilled in Individual aud class
work until they are able to write rapidly
from dictation. AS soon as they are quail
flied to do this they are sent out to the
business and professional men of the city
and are given actual work in taking let
tiers and documents of various kinds.
This is a special feature of the Lexington
Business College, and gives its students
facilities for actual business practice that
are not enjoyed in other institutions.

DEATHS.

Del, at the home of his parents, in
Odessa, May 81, 1897, Ethelbert Thomas
Lee Jr., aged 20 years, 3 months and Ii
days.
The funeral services were conducted at
The Baptist church, (of which he was a
member) by G. A. Buchanan, his pastor.
The services were held on Wednesday,
June 2. at 1880 p. IN. and were attended by
a largo concourse of people.
Ethelbert was cut down just as he was
entering upon manhood, full of hope and
high aspirations; looking forward to the
time when he would begin to enjoy all
there is in life.
"Man proposes but God disposes."
This is the first of the family circle to
go, and leaves a gap that oanno be filled;
a void in the heart; a vacant chair; a
missing link. God knows best and may
we bow to the mandates OF His will,
knowing that "He doeth all things we'll"

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.

This department includes the College
BInk, Wholesale House, Commission
House., Real Estate and Insurance, Post
office and Transportation Office.
The pupils are here given actual bust
ness experience. In the old fogy method
of working from text books, each pupil
necessarily had to work upon the same
results, and il was possible under such a
system for one pupil to copy from an
other. In this college the Ellis system of
actual business practice is used. Each
pupil has a different set of accounts to
work upon. BY means OF an Enclosed
rolling chart under a glass cover, each
item OF the transactions for the set of
accounts upon which the pupil is work.
ing is presented and must be properly
entered. The chart is SO arranged that
when an item is oncs passed it cannot be
turned TO again for reference. This
teaches a and accuracy that
can be acquired in no other way. The
bank has a capital OF 500. 600, and is sup
piled with n currency in all denOmins-
tions, and in their Transactions with the
bank the pupils are required to use this
currency as they would use actual money
Ia real business.
When the upil enters This department
he IL alIowed to choose some line of bust
ness that he will enter. Some OF the lines
that he may enter are hay and grain, fur
niture, dry goods, -four, commission,
boots and shoes. groceries, wood and coal,
etc. lie is furnished a certain amount of
capital in the currency OF the bank, with
which to purchase his stock of goods. lie
il then required TO buy and sell and carry
on actual transactions with students in
other lines. He does business with the
bank, the wholesale house, the commits
sion house, the real estate and insurance
Offices. Partnerships with one or more
partners are formed and new partners
are taken in or old ones dropped out.
In the course OF these transactions the
pupil handles every form of commercial
paper known to the business world. The
bank, wholesale house, commission house,
ETC., are furnished with complete and
sets of books. The pupils
are required in turns to take positions in
these houses as cashiers, book keepers,
clerks, etc. In fact, they are required To
do Just as they would in actual business.
By this method an appearance of reality
is given to every transactson, and an en-
thusiasm is created that Cannot be aroused
in any other way.

A New Store

Not a new firm nor a new building,
but virtually a new store, with an
extensive stock of Grst-class. brand new
Queensware, Hardware, Glassware, Tin
ware, &c.
We have fitted up the large basemtnt
under our main store room with appo-
pirate shelving, tables, ETC., and filled it
literally ''chuck full" of goods in these
lines. We have built a wide, easy
stairway connecting the two floors, and
our white Basement" las we have
christened it) is spiendidly lighted and
perfectly ventilated, and so arranged
generally that you will find shopping in
it a comfort and pleasure. We expect,
by low prices and special bargains, TO
make this department a strong drawing
card for the store. This will be easy to
do, as the rent for this additional space
is nothing, and we can therefore afford
to sell cheap. We have always carried
a small stock of hardware and tinware,
but these lines are now largely increased
and our prices on them always from ten
to twenty per cent under the regular
exclusive dealers.
Glassware, China and Porcelain ware
will be the leading features of the new
department, and as they are classes of
goods that have always been sold in
Lexington at fancy profits, we expect to
surprise you with our low prices. The
same high standard of quality, however,
that WE nave always maintained i'm our
Dry Goods and Shoes, will be our rule
down stairs. Everything guaranteed as
represented is our satisfactory method
