The attention of our readers is
called to the advertisement of DR.. II.
D. Martin, the eye specialist. Hehas
been in this county several weeks and
has given excellent satisfaction to
those who have called upon him. The
doctor understands his business and
does not misstate matters. If you
need glasses he will tell you, and is
Just as free to tell you if upon exam
inatiOn he finds you dOnOt need them.
All who have trouble with their eyes
will do well to call upon him. His
business is such that he is to remain
in Morrisville until April 9th, after
which he will spend several weeks in
other parts of the county.
Owing to a misunderstanding with
the Lyceum Bureau, the Lecture
Course concert advertised here for
Thursday, had been booked for Fri
day, evening, at which time it was
given. This delay was the fault of
the Bureau, as the written contracts
specified Thursday, March 20 as the
date. The Boston Ideal Banjo,
Mandolin and Guitar club is well
spoken of, and gave a concert which
we believe was satisfactory to all.
The performers showed themselves to
be artists on their particular instru-
ments. The large audience present,
| filing the hall completely, increased
the receipts to such an extent that
after paying all expenses, there will
remain a balance of over 800 in the
treasury. The management is to be
congratulated, both on account of
the seasons course and its results.
| With these advantages and the pro-
posed repairs upon the stage and
ventilation of the hall, next years
course will be decidedly worth look
inc forward to. Following is the re-
port of the treasurer:
