CAPT. VAN ETTEN's LECTURES.
As usual. Mcintyre Post scored another
grand success in their entertainment in
Court House han Friday evening.
An excellent concert of old army songs
by select chorus under the direction Of
Dr. Phillips. entertained the audience I'M
til the reserved seats were filed. These
singers deserve special commentator,
not only for their ability to please the
public, but no less for their readiness to
respond On these occasions. A. E. Chris
tie, Post Commander, then introduced
Capt VanEtten, who gave his lecture.
From the Death of Ellsworth to the
Death of Lincoln" This lecture occu-
pied little over two hours in it It's deliv-
cry, and held the attention of the audience
closely to the end. 1t consisted of vivid
picturing of the scenes which characterlz-
ed the breaking out Of the war, and thence
shading into his personal experience IN
many Of the most hard-fought battles of
the war. The captain is very entertain
ing speaker. and with rich fund of bu-
NOR. sustained the interest of the audi
ence to the last. A pleasant feature Of
Capt. VanEttcn's lecture was its minute
ness Of description, as we'll as it's truth
fulness, as could be attestcd by any who
had passed through these experiences.
After the lecture Capt. VIM. Stanley Of
Lyle, with his empty sleeve, came for
ward and shook hands with Capt. Van
Ettcn. saying as he Gid SO, Il was woun-
ded in the arm at Cold Harbor, the same
time and place you were" The G. A. R.
entertainments are peculiarly interes tin g
to the old soldiers, as thus they revie " the
old experiences. and fight over the battles
! of their youth. The hall was filled and the
total receipts were SO.
On Friday evening Capt. VanEttcn
| spoke in the same place on the subject OF
temperance. under the auspices OF Austin
Lodge. |. o. G. T. As before he hall was
filed by large and interested audience.
The Captain gave very practical and
suggestive lecture. touching upon the
"1o9t essehtlal points VI tne Work. W.
have not space to give resume Of this in
teresting lecture, but hope it's teachings
will leave an abiding impression for good
upon all those who listened to them.
! Mrs. VanEtten accompanied her hus-
band, and assisted him in singing. They
left Austin Saturday for Brownsville,
where the Captain held temperance meet
ings Sunday and Monday evenings, and
gave his army lecture Tuesday evening.
The ci tizens Of Austin will be glad TO hear
the Captain again.
