The lyceum season is 1here, and the management takes great pleasare in presenting to the people of Newberry the following attractions which not /only have great reputations but which are of high class. Dr. Byron W. King was with us last year. Most of us heard him. 'The re quests for him to return. were so numerous that we called him bick again. The Philadelphia, Opera and Concert party Is said to be the best of Its kind on the lyceum platfom. .These men and women give an entire opera suh as Carmen or Mikado. It is the only attraction that gives a complete opera. All the people in this company havie taken; the' principal rc es In grantd operas. We ldok forward to the com? 'Ing if thisnumber 'with Inerest for we believe it to be great The Toronto Male quartette is one of the best quartetts on the road. Their ur tet music is -of a high or der. Thze splendid blend of voicynd the artistic way in which they handle their limited repertoire have made them popular and prominent A part of the program will'econsist of Scotch eelections presented in genuine High land Scottish costumes. Dr. Geo. P. Bible,' the humorous lecturer will be with us. Dr. Bible stands next to the man receiving the greatest number of return dates for last season. This speaks well enough for him. The Skovgaard Concert party will be on our regular course this season. Skovgaard; the Danish "Ole Bull," voinist, Miss McClung, pianist, and. Miss May Warner, soprano solist, compose the company. The Dudley' Buck Concert company, or the Hinshaw Grand Opera company, will be with us. IThe management is trying to secure John Mitchell, the 'great labor union leader. If we do not secure him we will try to get some other man with as great a reputation. This list of attractions we believe forms the best course we have as yet had. We know it is the most costly one we have had. The course is for you. * Notice. There will be a meeting of all the farmers and business men of the county in the court house next Satur day at 11 o'clock in the morning to discuss the cotton situation.

Central Methodists Again Occupy, Their Chureh-Resolutions of Thanks.
