EaIGHT PROSPECTS
FOR THE COLLEGE
Faculty all Selected and Building
in Readiness.

The Willie Halsell College campu.
has been beautitied, the weeds cut
the building put in tirst-class repair
and everything points to the best
opening in the history of the institu-
tion
President Nelson has secured the
last teacher, completing the list.
II one may believe the reports given
out by those who are responsible and
well informed they have the best fac
ulty yet secured.
President Nelson has just spent
three years in Central College, Fay
tie, Mo, and has already convinced
the authorities that he is able and
willing. His executive ability has
been thoroughly demonstrated by his
work in preparing for the opening on
such short notice.
He will have charge of the depart
of English and History.
Prof Edgar J. Hobby, is an A. B.,
Of Kentucky State College and L. b.,
Of Cumberland University. He has
had successful experience as teacher
and will without doubt give satisfac-
tion. He viii teach Mathematics and
Latin.
Mrs. Merry Walker Hobby, an A. B.,
Of Potter College, will have charge Of
the intermediate department and as
sist Prof. Nelson in his higher grades,
Potter College is said to be the finest
college in all southern Kentucky and
one Of the very best in the whole
souih. Her experience in school work
ia her native state has been most sue
cessful indeed and she comes with the
highest recommendations
Miss Anna NJ. Williams will have
charge Of the Primary department
and will give special attention to all
the smaller pupils. Miss Williams is
an A. B., Of Hardin College, one Of
the best in the country. She has
taught successfully three years in
Missouri and two years in Vinita and
cannot be excelled by any teacher in
any school.
So with these strong men and
women in the Literary department no
one need hesitate to patronize the
College, nor do they need to send
away to find superior advantages for
their children. When the new desks
arrive the house will be put in first
class condition in every respect.
The Elocution department, under
the management Of Miss Matte
Peques,of the Chicago Musical College,
is in capable hands.
Those desiring instruction in elocu-
tion and oratory need have no fear of
training they will receive from her,
for she is well fitted for the place.
Besides being well tIained herself she
has had several years experience in
teaching these branches.
After strenuous efforts in which
neither pains nor expence were spared
President Nelson has secured Miss
Elizabeth Farmer, Of Hardin Conser-
vatory Of music as director Of voice
and piano.
Miss Farmer comes to rs thoroughly
prepared for her work by four years
Of successful experience as teacher in
college beside the private instructions
that she has given. Her eminent sue
cess and the special work she has re-
centely taken under the celebrated
Carl Becker, specilist in voice is ample
evidence Of her ability to iii the posit-
ion, for which she has been secured in
the most satisfactory manner, a few
Of the strong and unqualified recon-
mendations that have been received
are given below.

my pupil since Sept. 1899; and has
