Y Prof. Foster closed his series of five
4 lectures on temperance in this place on
Tuesday evening last. Prof. Foster is 6
fluent and remarkably pleasant speaker,
and his lectures here were the most argu-
mentative, logical lectures we have ever
listened to on the subject of temperance
/ His propositions were plainly stated, and
supported by arguments that are incon-
| trovertible, and in manner that gave nc
cause for Offense to any one. We regret
that more of our citizens did not avail
themselves of the opportunity of these
the best and most logical series of tenn
perance lectures that has ever been de.
livered in our town.
Our citizens should take some inter.
est in showing persons around our town
and county, when they come here look
ing for locations for business, or to pur
chase farms on which to make homes
No town or county in the State afford
better inducements for those seeking 10
cations for business enterprises or agri
cultural pursuits than are to be found il
; this town and in Fayette county. Their
is no necessity for going further west t
procure better advantages than can
: had here. Those seeking new home
would do well to give Fayette county
call and investigate the superior advan
I tages offered them in this county.
