PROFESSOR WARNER RESIGNS.
DraughOn's Business College Loses
Its Superintendent.

The following item from a Mus
kogee, Okla, paper will be read with
interest by many of our readers, as
Prof. Warner is an old Leon boy, bet
ter known here as Frank Warner,
son of Lon Warner.
| Prof. F. P. Warner, who has been
the superintendent and general man
ager of Draughon's Practical Busi-
ness College for seven years, re-
tires on account of complete break
down in health. He retires with the
regrets, love and esteem of all who
knew him during the long term of
years through which he has held this
position. 1t was with considerable
effort that he addressed the student
body and faculty on his final leave
taking, on account of his weakened
condition, having only been up three
days.
1T was seven years ago today"
said Prof. Warner, "since l began
business college work in Muskogee.
At that time Muskogee was only a
little more than a village. We grew
up with the city and now it is with
great pride that l look upon our
splendid daily attendance of $50
Students"
Prof. Warner was presented with
beautiful and costly electrOlier as
token of appreciation of his eff
cient and faithful services as super
intendent of the school and Mrs
Warner was presented with a large
bunch of carnations. Great feeling
was manifested by the student fac
ulty and Prof. Warner on account of
his leaving.
From boy Prof. Warner has been
an indefatigable worker, being as he
is, a self-made man, having worked
his way through school when boy,
and having conceived in early boy
hood love for work, he has never
been a shirk but has pushed ahead
by honest toll. With a clear head and
resolute will to guide him, opposition,
disorder and chaos by the touch of
his hand all disappeared. While order
and success marched hand in hand
where he lead, until in short time
he stood at the head of the finest
and best equipped practical business
college in all the country, as hun
.dreds of his students who 60 over
the country to fill all places in banks
and other high places of responsible
ity and profit, all of whom bear with
them the marks of his finishing touch
which inallras succoss7 where ere they
60, We bespeak for the new man
agement great success in a work
whose foundations have been so per-
fectly laid. Prof. Warner greatly de-
plores his failing health which has
made it impossible for him to hold
to the work he so much loved.
In the time when the CRATER was
so much in evidence, it was with
great pride that he pointed to our
business college as an institution in
which graft was unknown, where
every dollar was an honest dollar,
where pupils were carefully taught
that honesty was the best policy and
that virtue does pay.
Prof. Warner expects to spend
season at the mountains in order to
regain his health. This done, he
will return to Muskeego where he
will enter one of the many lucrative
positions which now stand open to
him where in the future as in the
past his vigilant and untiring devo-
tion to duty will soon place him at
the head of successful and useful
business. His many friends and ad-
mirers point to his accomplishments
with pride and stand ever ready to
extend a helping hand to him in any
bark
