by Fire.

The State Capitol will in the future
be protected by a complete system OF
water works. Fire plugs and supply OF
hose will be put on each floor.
The ,plaas' and specifications of this
work have been prepared and the contract
has been let by Private Secretary J.
Kirk Jackson On each Of the three floors
in a prominent place plug will be put
and q suppl yof hose will be LETT In easy
reach. o.
Tae Capitol has never been before ade-
quatsly protected from IRE. The building
was erected in is4s ana like other build
ings OF that period wood enters largely
into Its construction. The structure would
be an easy conquest for the flames.
Tho unprotected condition OF the Capitol
was brought home last winter when the
burning out OF . chimney was near to
causing q serious connagration. II was
then agreed by the State officers that If a
fire got undsr good headway, nothing
short of O miracle could save the histo &c
structure. The building contains more
valuable State documents and books than
any other structure In tho State. 1t holds
stores OF relics connected with The his
tory Of the State, whose loss would bs RI
rsparable.
The arst State House built on the site
OF the present structure was destroyed By

Course of Bookkeeping. and 10 the author
and publisher Of four text books on
bookkeeping, the sales Of which to practi-
cal bookkeepers, merchants and others,

mary course Of Bookkeeping IL more ex-
tensive than the full course given at
many Business Colleges where it ffauires
double the time to graduate. HIS Col
leges, by special arrangement. give their
advanced shorthand students a course of
actual work in a private office, hence they
are also competent.
Prof Draughcn employs competent and
high salaried teachers. who do not have
to do office work, entertain company, etc,
and while. doing so neglect their students,
but they give their entire time ana at
tention to their students. He pays his
faculties salaries total Of which exceeds
III, 10000 per year. The high grade ,r-
struction, diplomat from schools Of ma
tional reputation. and other advantages
to DO had at Draughon's Colleges. make
them, as compared to ordinary Business
Colleges, what Harvard and Yale are to
ordinary literary schools.
Draughon's Colleges are the only ones
that conduct an employment department
at q great expense. and do not charge
their students for securing positions: and
said employment department isDdoubtiess
the only institution Of the kind that will

beautiful with apple blossoms and spring flow
ers by Mrs. Ellis mother and Mrs. Il. A. New
ton in honor of the homo coming of the only
daughter, who u few months ago left her home
bride. The surprise was genuine ard the
courtesy of Mrs. Ellis old time friends and
associates was fully appreciated by her. About
hftJ guests were present. The guests were re-
ceived by little Misses Helen Metcalf and Grace
Owens. happier evening than that spent by
the young people would be hard to imagine.
There was laughter and gaicty from the arrival
until the departure of the guests. Various games
helped to add zcst to the enjoyment and Miss
Ute Mckay rendered several piano selections in
her own happy manner. Light refreshments
were served by Mrs H Newton and Miss Bertha
Mckain assisted by number of friends. The
members Of the League, the surprised, and the
surprisers will long remember this function as
one of unusual gaicty and pleasure.
