A Successful Session.

Central Business University of
Alexandria, La, has enjoyed a
liberal patronage during the past
school year. fhe term which
closes with the month .of August
has been the most prosperous in
the history of the institution. The
management of G. B. u. wishes to
thank its patrons and the public
in general for their loyal and en-
thusiastic support during the past
session. In the future, as in the
past, it will be the aim of the col
lege to promote the best interest
of its students while in school and
to secure lucrative positions for
all worthy graduates. The demand
for we'll trained Office help is con-
stantly increasing. The manage
ment of Central Business Univer-
sity has experienced no trouble in
placing every graduate during the
past session, and feels that the
demand will be even greater dur
ing the coming season.
The highest standard of courses
is maintained in all departments
of college, which will be kept fully
abreast of the times by making
such changes in its curriculum as
advancement along business lines
may demand. The nature of the
bookkeeping course is such that
requires the student to do the
actual work of the business Office
in the school room. He handles
all kinds of commercial papers
that are handled in business. and
is qualified upon leaving school to
take full charge of set of books.
The fall term of Central Bust
ness University will open on Mon
day, Sept. ?, next, on which date
a large enrolment is expected.
Thorough courses are given in
Book keeping, Shorthand, Type

parish, La, July %, 1907.
After life, though not long
but well spent and useful, the
subject of this sketch went to the
sweet rest to which she had been
looking forward so much before
her death. During her life, she
was blessed with many of Gods
benedictions. Many good and
perfect gifts she enjoyed as CON-
ing down to her from above from
the Father of light; the love Of
a faithful husband and the tender
devotion vf sons add daughters
were among the choicest ia rors of
Heaven. She was further, in &C
cordance with her hearts desire
and prayer, permitted to live to
reach maturity. She, however,
learned by experience that this is
a life of comparatively few years
and full of trouble. The last
years of her life she suffered from
protracted iIl-heaIth ard trying
sickness and pain. By these, how
ever, as with Job. her character
was tempered, ennobled and
beautifed. She was perfected by
patiently bearing suffering. When
young she committed the keeping
of her soul into God, having Join
ed the M. E. Church, South,
thirty years ago, of which she was
consistent member until the
end came; aud, as she felt the tie
which bound her to this life Being
severed, she said to those about
her. 81 am ready to CO." God
grant that her family may be an
unbroken one in Heaven.
