 SOUTH COVENTRY.
 --At meeting of the Farmers Clul last Friday the subject of creamery wa considered, and committee of three wal appointed to interview the milk producers Inquiries have been made and several persons have expressed their willingness to furnish milk, take stock, etc., that tho experiment. may be tried. Mir. Hull o1 North Coventry, formerly of Pennington spoke of the success of the creamery there, the excellence of the butter produced, be. ing superior to the best home product. And it seems as if such must be the case, as an even temperature, freedom from smoke, scents of cooking, etc., would moi be absorbed by the butter, and, every one who has had experience knows that pack ages of butter are better if packed from one churning than those from many churn. ings. Next meeting of the club tonight.

 CITIZENS LECTURE COURSE.
 To the people of South Coventry: With the Registers permission and aid, wish to say a few words on matter of interest to our community. Several citizens of the town have agreed to become responsi- ble for the financial success of g course of lectures and entertainments. The com- mittee having the matter ia charge are de- ternined that these shall all be of high order, and that our citizens shall have fine treats, which shall make them call for more in the future. It is proposed to give three lectures, one fine reading, and a concert. All the money made above ex- penses in the first four entertainments Is to be put into the closing concert. The amount which will be used in any case will secure good one, but additions will be made as funds may warrant. It IS hoped that as matter of town pride, as we'll as personal enjoyment, our people will support this effort to supply course of unusually pleasing and instructive en- 
 The first lecture will be given Friday evening, Feb. 9th, by ". D. P. Bliss of Boston, formerly of Constantinople, Tur- key. MT. Bliss is son of the we'll known Dr. Bliss of Constantinople, and is grad aate of Amherst college and theological institute of Connecticut. I have known him for some years, and pap promise all who hear his lecture and see his ilustra- trations such treat as is seldom had out side of large cities. His subject will be ''The Home of the Sultans," and it will be illustrated by 70 aigsolYing views, cast rom the choir gallery of the Gongrega- sional church upon canvas covering 8 arge part of the opposite end of the church. The views were prepared by the same nan who prepared those of the cele- orated Stoddard lectures, and are equal if 1ot superior to those. The instrument one of the best in Roston-is to be op- srated by professional operator. Such views of almost life size, illustrating, with photographic accuracy, the ssqueen oity of he orient,p it's palaces, mosques and ,astles it's Golden Horn and Bosphorus y daylight and moonlight it's costumes, l nen, women, and many of the most beau iful oriental scenes, would be worth far nore than the.admission price without a word of MT. Bliss humorous, beautiful md interesting descriptions. r am eomA- lent that all who fail to see and hear this ecture will be sorry when they hear oth- ,rs telling about 1t. MT. Bliss gives his ecture in Boston on the evening before le comes here. It is partly through per- onal friendship that he has been induced o come, as the expenses for instrument, operator and car fare leave him very small pay for his own services. He comes for nearly $2o less than his regular price.
 have written this letter-1st, because am interested in the lecture course. ld-Because wish to give my word that dr. Bliss will give us all and more than ldvertised. ad-Beeause I wish none may ose this rare opportunityEfor.an evening 'f instruction and delight.
 Yours truly, FRANK E. JENKINS.
