What 1t Costs Not To Go II
College.

Everlasting sorrow: No one ever
went toa good business college Will
honest intent and serious purpose
who did not consider it money, time
and labor well expended. Thousands
who have not gone, regret the fact
that they did not. Youcan go if you
really hunger and thirst for an ed
ucation.
Nowhere else will you meet such
choice companions. The eartE's
noblest young women are in colleges,
and.at no other time of life can you
make such strong and lasting friends.
Girls and boys from our most cult.
waited homes assemble annually at
our colleges. II you do not go to
college these choice friendships are
lost to you forever.
DO not postpone your going to
college. Youth is the time for prep
aration, just as spring is the seed
time. The farmer who doesnot plant
his seed in spring time has no harvest.
Ii he hasn't the money to buy the
seed, he borrows it. II you haven't
the money to go to college, borrow
it, and pay it back out of salary
earned after graduation. You can
do this.
You eau prepare yourself to fill
your station in lie better--or if you
must earn Your living, you can earn
more and choose your occupation.
Ii you are wealthy. all the more rea-
son orgoing to college. Your wealth
may go, but your education cannot
be taken from you.
Business education is an asset
worth thousands. 1t is an equip
Inent for LIES work. 1t gives the
power to earn. 1t destroys poverty
aud enthrones prosperity 1t can
not be lost or stolen.
You cannot afford, dear young read
er, not to attend the Tyler CONNER
cial College of Tyler. Texas.
Remember the words of Chancellor
Kent, when he said: "The parent who
sends his son into the world unedu-
Gated, defrauds the community of a
useful citizen and bequeaths to it

Baton Rouge, Sept. 1.-Baton
Rouge has been made division head
quarters for the Colorado Southern,

The first train of the Frisco and

brewers or distillers. Another
change in the bill makes unequivocal
the right to destroy liquor seized
when held in violation of the law.
An important addition was to make
prima facie evidence of the guilt II
liquors alleged to have been sold,
having the like color; odor or taste
Of prohibited liquors.
The chief fight was made on that
section prohibiting newspapers from
publishing liquor advertising.
Later in the day the House passed

bate. The bill is the compendium of
the large duties of sheriffs on the en-
forcement of prohibition laws. It|
