A NOTED SEHOOk THE WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF A NASHVILLE INSTITUTION WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR THE YOUNG MEN OF OUR COUNTRY. I You» tin N vsiivil.l.E ('intis’ll a x Anvocvn:. I T scorns hut :i sliort time since .Jennings' business College was established in our city, end vet such lias been it' progress that more than seven hundred 'indents, from eighteen state'and territories, have matriculated in it, and it i a well-known fact that ;it least ninety per cent, of these have secured good positions in this and other cities, some of them receiving salaries ranging from §1 tOO to §1,800 per annum. It. NY. Jennings. the founder and manager of donning' Husincss College. Nashville, was horn in Edgefield, S. C., in 18GS. where his father and grandfather r O had been raised. At the age of ixtecn lie commenced clerking in a retail store, and in 1855- nG he became book-keeper for the Irion Manufacturing Company, at ’frion. tla. In January, lSoT. he came to Nashville, and secured a position as book-keeper for the wholesale house of tJardnor A Cm. where lie remained until IStil, when lie entered the Planters Hank as book-keeper. In 18b-l lie filled an important posit ion w ith the great house of A. T. Stewart A Co.. New ork. where lie was directed to overhaul and examine into the hooks of that firm, running hack for a period of nineteen years. In 18(h) he was teller of the Kails City Tobacco Hank. Louisville. Kw, resigning this in December of that year to accept a partnership in the two firms of Kvan . Cardner A Co.. New ork. and Evans, Kite A Co., Nashville, the latter being the largest wholesale house which has ever been established in this city. Withdrawing from these firms in 1ST2, lie was until 1 's ' 1 the ,'cnior partner of the w Indesalc houses d denning', t loodhar A Co.. .Jennings. Eakin A Co.. Jennings. Dismukcs A Woolwine. and H. . Jennings A Co. Thus Mr. Jennings brings to lii work as a business educator the ripe experience of thirty years in actual business, lie teaches altogether from ex- perience. and draws his examples from the different sets of hooks lie has kept for twenty years. Krom personal knowledge of Prof. Jennings and his institution, we heartily endorse him and it without reservation.— Editor Ad vorate. Hi shop Me Tvcirc. a few months before lie died, was visited by t lie widow of a Methodist preacher, who asked his advice in regard to getting her son a position, lie told her to ••send him to Jennings Husincss College, that a certificate from K. Y. Jennings, recommending him for a situation, would be of more benefit to him than any other influence lie could have.
