The instructions they have had in making corn t selections were certainly noticeable to all visitors who knew corn. Prizes were awarded the boys at the show for the splendid work they had done. Even thdtugh business is dull and money scarce, the banks and business men and farmers contributed $2 3f? to award thci 'boys prizes, for which these club boys, together with the county agent, want to extend their I thanks to these contributors.

For more than ten years he has appeared under Redpath management?a fact which speaks for itself. During the years which he has devoted to the Lyceum platform many offers from vaudeville and theatrical managers have been turned aside -,by Mr. Laurant because he believed In the Lyceum as a greater field ip which to present his work. In fact* as a charter member of the Intropntional ^H?/1 i I j* EUGENE LAURANT. Lyceum association, he has had no small part in the development of this organization and the Lyceum movement as a whole. The high esteem in which he is held by the members of his own profession is evidenced by the fact that he was given a gold medal by the Society of American Magicians. He has also appeared on several occasions before societies of scientific research. It has always been Mr. Laurant's aim to have the most artistic magic entertainment before the public. ' He has never been content to let well enough alone or to rest upon his laurels. Each season he hhs endeavored to make his entertainment better than the last. The production of the coming season will be equipped In the usual lavish manner that has characterized all his entertainments, the stage settings surpassing in beauty all previous efforts. A capable stage manager will have charge of this mass of equipment, insuring a perfect presentation of the program. Mr. Laurant will be assisted by a talented planlste, who will delight the audiences with her piano solos. She also will take an active part In the various magic scenes. This is the third attraction of the I^exington Lyceum course, and. will appear at the school auditorium, on Thursday, December 9, at eight o'clock. LEXINGTON COUNTY FARMERS UNION TO MEET.
