A deal was closed this week where
by H. @. johnson becomes owner of
the Moothart Business College at this
place. Prof. Moothart founded the
school here some fifteen years ago
and for a number of years gave it his
time and attention and made his home
in De Soto. Later he opened a school
at Pennington and moved there. He
then opened up aschool at Cape Girar-
deau, which he sold some time ago.
He also founded other schools in
Southeast Missouri, but has decided
to sell them all and give all his time
to the Pennington school. Mr.. john
son is a young man of ability and pro-
poses to make some very marked i'm
provements in the school here. He
will enstall new furniture and enter
the field on a more broader plan,
Since he came here he has made a
success of the business and has made
many warm friends, who will be
pleased to give him a boost whenever
the opportunity is afforded. The
school has been a great benefit tc
many young people in this vicinity
and will continue to be. A good edu-
cation along business lines such as il
obtained through the business college
is a valuable asset to any young per
son, in fact there is no better.-D
Soto Republican.
