The Chautauqua Circles held
meeting Thursday afternoon to advise
about organizing lecture course for
next season. 1t was determined to Sc
cure a list of six noted lecturers and
place the season tickets at very low
rates. We can not refrain from endors-
ing this enterprise enthusiastically.
Considered from all stand points it is
one of the most worthy efforts ever
made for the moral and intellectual
culture of the community.
Geo. Scudamore, night operator,
has been transferred 10 the ballast
train and in future will travel ON it for
the porpose of using the instruments
recently placed at Hanson and Kelly
Stations, for getting orders at those
points, which makes it unnecessary
to have regular operators at said
points. This is new scheme gotten
up by Mr.. Harry Frasier and will no
doubt work well.
The managers of the Catholic pic

doubtless attract others.-Owensboro
