The Ozark Business College, of
Pennington, Mo-, is the college that
has had the opportunity of furnishing
two-thirds of the"Accredited Schools"
of the State with it's students as teach
ers, as well as many of the better
grade colleges. 1t does not spend its
students money flor solicitors. Boys
and girls realize THAT they pay their
money for TRAINING, and then stu
dents from the Ozark are used by the
other fellows for teachers; the Ozark
is the place to get their Business
Training.-Adv.
On the first page of this paper is an
article relative to my honored old
friend, DR.. r. T. Minor of Lesterville,
and his good wife. With all that is
said by Mrs. Golf concerning them I
heartily concur. I have known DR..
Minor nigh unto forty years and feel
honored in his friendship. He is q
man of unusual ability, with a big
heart and always a gentleman. His
life bias been one of usefulness and
help, and his gifts have beenizealous'
ly employed in behalf of humanity.
Notwithstanding his rs years, may his
days be still long in the lend, is the
prayer I %fervently utter.
