Mrs. Peckham of California lectured to
full house of attentive listeners at
Village Hall, Sunday evening. Her
subject was "That Drunkard." The very
large number present listened with in
creasing interest for more thsn an hour
and half, only regretting that there was
not more time. She lectured again last
Monday evening at the same place. If
any of the readers of this paper have an
opportunity to listen to her while in the

enough to hold those who would wish to
