tbe meantime to secure tbe services of a lecturer
of known ability to come to as and entertain
oar people. Tbe committee has secured
the consent of Rev. C. C. Brown, of
Snmter, to deliver a lecture in our High
School building next Friday, tbe 21st Inst., at;
8 p.m. A treat Is promised, as be who will
be with us has tbe reputation of being a very
line lecturer. An admittance fee will be
will be cbarged, sufficient only to defray actual
expenses. It is not a money-making
scbeme upon tbe part of any oue, but simply
that the community at large may be beue-!
fitted. This is an inexpensive way to get up j
literary entertainment.-', and all should lend j
a helping band. Troupe, j
