INSTITUTE LECTURES The executive com.
mittee Of the Teachers Institute have circu-
lated two thousand small bills through the
city with the hope that the methodist church
could be filed to Overlooking every evening
Of the session. Do not let them be disap
pointed. They have incurred considerable
expense to secure first class lecturers, and
those who are known to our citizens as such.
The only literary and scientific lectures De.
livered in Rock Island during the last two and
a half years have been under the auspices Of
the Institute. The members are determin-
ed to make their Institute an honor to the
county, and we believe they will do so-es-
peciaIy if our citizens aid in the work. DO
not let it be said, that larger and more res
pectable audiences can be collected to hear
negro concert or prcdtaigtator, than to
hear such lectures and to receive such treat
as the institute has furnished us.
The regular daily sessions are held at the
high school building, and are attended by
many of our best citizens.
