Philip Slaughter Towles. After suf
fering great agony for several days ht
passed peacefully beyond the domain
OF pain and sorrow. Mr.. Towles had
reached the scriptural limit of life, be
ing 73 years of age, but was remark
ably active for one OF his years and OF
cheerful and sunny disposition. He
was related to the Weeks family, be-
ing resident with them at the grand
old "Shadows on the Teche'' for sew
eral years, coming there from st.
Mary Parish, where he was born.

The Soule Business College of
Now Orleans, is entering upon its 50th
Annual Session, having been founded
by its present president, Col. George
Soule in 1856. The old saying, moth
ing succeeds like success is certainly
true of this reliable and favorite
school. Its popularity grows with the
years, and last session the record was
broken in number of teachers, number
of students and number of graduates,
1912 different students were enrolled
and the commercial and shorthand
graduates numbered 1862. The faculty
consists of 20 experienced teachers.
This exceptional record justly entities
the Soule College to the claim it
makes of being 1.-The South's Great
est School of Busine IS. Always the
Leader" The practical character of
it's courses of study is we'll known to
over 10000 former students, and as the
school makes it point to progress
with the age it is now doing the best
work in it's history Careful reading
of its circulars will prove of interest
to ambitious young men and young
women who wish to prepare for better
positions, and future promotion.
