FREE COURSE IN CHARTIER SHORTHAND
At BAGWELL’S BUSINESS COLLEGE 198 Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.
The superiority of CHARTIER SHORTHAND
over all other systems has already been fully established.
Many are now holding positions with leading firms of
Atlanta and other cities after only EIGHT to TWELVE
weeks’ courses. But in order that everybody may have
an opportunity to investigate for themselves the wonder
ful possibilities of the Chartier system of Shorthand,
BAGWELL BUSINESS COLLEGE will give
A FREE TEN DAYS’ COURSE
to all who may apply.
After one week’s instruction the average student
should be able to read and write at a moderate speed or
dinary business letters, “The only system in existence
that can be read like print.”
The day class will be formed Monday morning, 9
o’clock, June 17. Evening class Monday evening, 7:‘

COLLEGE BUILDING.
Most attractive location of any Business College in the 8outh-
“ • ■ - “'Ith pleasent grounds, cool
.... situated
on Peachtree, next to Governor's Mansion. With plsassnt grounds, oool
and commodious rooms, it is an ideal location for a summer school, quite
different from schools in the noisy, crowded business portions of the city.
CHARTIER SHORTHAND HAS REVOLUTION
IZED THE ART OP RAPID WRITING. It has been
adopted by over 200 of the leading Business Colleges in
the United States, including the famous Eastman school,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., the largest in the world. This
alone is sufficient proof that it is a wonderful im
provement over all other systems.
The old line systems like Graham, Munson, Pitman,
Gregg, etc., consist of liunilreds of rules, almost as many
exceptions and thousands of hard-to-learn word signs
and contractions.
CHARTIER SHORTHAND consists simply of the
alphabet ana
10 SIMPLE RULES.
That’s all.
It can be learned in one-half the time and with one-
fifth the effort.
Can be written 20 per cent to 30 per cent faster and
read more easily than any other system.
All those who enroll for this class demonstration
do so ABSOLUTELY FREE, and are under no obliga
tion to continue. Come, and tell your friends about it.

A ruling by tha Southern railroad
which would have meant great expense
to the wholesale grocers of Atlanta has
just been revoked as a result of con
certed action upon the part of the At
lanta grocers, and It ehows what may
be done by organisation.
At a meeting of the Atlanta Whole
sale Grocers' Association a report was
made by a committee appointed to look
after the matter, and this report allow
ed the order was revoked before the
railroad hod a chance to put It Into
effect.
A short time ago the Southern Issued
an order that all flour in sacks shipped
out of Atlanta must be tagged with the
name of the consignee. As each whole
sale house In the city ships large num
bers of bags dally, such an order meant
the additional expense of a man to do
nothing but place tags on flour sacks.
Prevloualy the grocers shipped flour
and designated the shipments by the
brands of the flour. A meeting of the
Grocers' Association was held, and a
committee, headed by President D. H.
Browder, was appointed to wait on the
railroads and have the order revoked.
This was done and as soon as the gro
cers' side of the case was explained, the
order was revoked.

STATISTICS.
VA CA I ION DAySAT LAST;
SUMMER BRINGS ITS REST
Happy days are here for twelve
thousand Atlanta children, vacation
days when the thought of school will
not worry the mind or trammel the
freedom of the boys and girls of the
Gate City. On Friday the white and
colored schools, the night schools and
the high schools closed the scholastic
year.
To many young women and boys It
meant the end of school days, at least
In tha public schools. To one fair
young graduate, at least. It meant the
beginning of a new life with the man
who had won her heart and hand.
Final exercises of the Girls' High
School were held In the Grand Thurs
day evening, while the graduating ex
ercises of the Boys' High 8chool oc
curred Friday evening. Many of these
bright boys will go forth to the great
colleges In the fall, while others will .
take up their work In the business and
Industrial endeavor of the city.
At noon Friday the twenty white
public schools closed for tho summer
vacation with appropriate exercises, at
which many parents and fond relatives
were present.
In the six colored schools exercises
were held also, with large attendances.
The year just closed has been a most
prosperous one, and marked substan- I
flat growth In new buildings and gen- I
erally improved conditions.
