Such as: Chasing, stapling, average ing, buying, shipping, exporting, keeping Gin Records, merchant's s cotton records, ware house re- cords, cotton office stock books and other blan ks necessary to
 the business. The representa-

 practical experience in every detail of the business and have in nstalled in thls department a cotton exchange board with tele- graph instruments attached. Here our students are taught to
 read price quotations as they come in from Liverpool, New Orleans, and New York markets. They are also given the ginners and Government reports on produc- tion and the probable effect on prices. Nothing is left undone to make our students efficient in the work. The cost of the above course complete is $23.00 for tui- tion, and $200 for books and ma terial. Time for completing is from 4 to six weeks, owing to the ability of the student. Students may enroll at any time. There
