A branch of Cecil's Business s school is to be opened in our city, and the young men and women will no longer have to leave home for a. commercial training. This school s comes to our city well recommended,; d and the proposition they have to of-; fer is attraetive indeed. one thait -Ishould appeal to any one who is in terested in a business education. Sadler-Rowe's famous "Budger sys tem'' is the course in bookkeeping, a and its likeness to real business is s certainly remarkable, in that actual ;, commercial 'papers are handled with L each otransaction, and the moment a cl student takes up the subject he be e gins the work of an actual bookkeap er. He begins at once to receive the business' papers which naturally come into the business from the outside world and prapares such as are is sued to those with whom business is transacted. The transactions repre sented by those business papers are recorded in the proper books, and he continues this work until he has been thoroughly trained in posting, taking trial balances, making balance sheets and closing the ledger, as well as in the farms and uses of all the ordi nary business papers. T:he speciments of improvment in penmanship that Prof Cecil has will please the eye of any aspirant,. and are conclusive evidence that the school shovld be well patronized. The school will be located in a .n venient place, day or night sessions. Address Cecil's Business School, Phon-e 249. Newberry, S. C. . Adv. Cotton Market.
