Prof.  J.C. Tucker has rented rooms in the C.C. [Columbia Christian] College building and will open a school for the purpose of teaching telegraphy. There is a great demand for telegraph operators, and Mr. Tucker is of the opinion that this character of enterprise is needed here. It will afford young men and ladies an opportunity  to master a business that will insure them employment at good salaries.
