VERY fLATTERING.

/ All previous records will be
broken. The Columbus Business
College Of Columbus, Miss, now
has the largest summer attend
ance in its history, and from
present indications, the fall at
tendance viii far surpass that of
any previous year. Some ask
why we have such a large annu-
al enrolment. The answer is
simple; in the first place, we
have the exclusive control of the
famous Byrne Simplified Short
hand and Practical Bookkeeping;
these systems alone entitle us to
a patronage far beyond that
of any other commercial school.
With these systems we can turn
out a better bookkeeper or ste
nographer in half the time and
at half the cost of other schools
teaching other systems; this is a
great saving of time and expense
to any student. In the second
place, this institution is managed
by successful business men, who
know how to put system and
modern business methods into
their work. We employ the best
teaching talent to be had, and
leave nothing undone that will
enable us to turn out first-class
bookkeepeIs and stenographers.
We have won a reputation for
placing our graduates with re-
sponsible firms, at good salaries,
with good promotion ahead.
We long ago learned that the
success of our institution depend
ed upon the success of our grad
yates. so it is our first aim to see
that the student is thoroughly
qualified; our second aim, to see
that he has the very best posi-
ton that we can obtain for him;
his excellent work and financial
success recommends our school
to his friends. Write for 1873

COLUMBUS HAS
THREE FIRES
HOMES OF MESSRS n. C. WAKEFIELD AND
A. W. HAYNIE DAMAGED--BOILEB HOUSE
OF FOLK g. ST0LzER PLANT BURNED
ALL WERE PARTIALLY INSURED

The old saying that fires occur
by cycles has been verified within
the past few days. The first
alarm was turned in on last Sun
day morning when the house at
423 South Seventh street, owned
! by Mr.. j. A. Eddins and occu-
pied by Mr.. H. C.. Warfeld, was
almost completely destroyed. The
family were asleep when the
fire was discovered by some one
passing and the alarm was given.
The fire company went at once
to the scene, but the flames had
gotten under headway and done
much damage before assistance
could be given. The house was
insured for 81, 250 and the fur
nishings for 1000, which does
not cover the loss.
The second disaster was the
boiler house of the Folk and
Stolzer's lumber mill in Robert
son Addition which was discov-
cred IL o'clock Tuesday and the
fire department responded at
once and succeeded in checking
the flames before the main build
ing was ignited. The damage
in this instance was about 5000
fully covered by insurance.
The third fire occurred about
6 o'clock Wednesday morning.
when the handsome new home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Haynie
on Tabb's Hill was badly dam
aged. Mr.. Haynie who operates
lumber business at McShan
was away, but his wife and chill
dren were at home. The son,
Mr.. Carl, left the house about
four o'clock and everything was
all right at that time. Neigh
tors discovered the fire and gave
the alarm, but on account of the
distance the fire company was
some little time in getting out
there, but by efficient work sue
ceeded in subduing the flames
after the roof had been destroy
ed. 1t appears that the fire
in plunder room on
the second floor just over the
kitchen.
The loss was covered by in
surance. ts

Supervisors in Session.

The regular monthly meeting
of the Board of Supervisors be-
gan their work Monday morning
at ten O'Clock when several i'm
portant matters awaited their
action. The election of G. r.
Shackleford. the present incum-
