NEW LECTURERS.
The state lecturer has appointed
the following lecturers. AS he is alb
sent from home, speaking at ALI
ance meetings, he will not be able to
issue the commissions at once, but
he hopes the gentlemen appointed
will not wait for their commissions
but will go to work at once and fully
organize the respective counties:
Joseph Askew, Wadena, County
lecturer, Wadena Co.
Lucius Brainerd, Wyattville, as
sistant County lecturer, Winona Co.
L. C. O'Hara, Zumbro Falls, as
sistant County lecturer, Wabasha
Co.
Mr.. Van ARK, Mound Prairie. as
sistant County lecturer, Houston Co.
Hon. Nels Guam, Norway Lake, as
sistant county lecturer. Kandiyohi
Co.
R. H. MCGEE, Forest Lake, county
lecturer, Washington Co.
James Arnold, Redwood Falls,
county lecturer, Redwood Co.
Jonas H. Howe, Parker's Lake, as
sistant county lecturer, Hennepin Co.
Charles T. Graves, Long Lake, as
sistant lecturer, Hennepin Co.
The county lecturers in the differ
ent counties are urged to give the
state lecturer the names of good
men, for assistant lecturers, repre-.
senting the different nationalities in
the county and the different sections
of it. We cannot have too many at
work. The field of labor is immense
and the labOrers few.
