The voters of the incorporated
village undoubtedly mean business
in regard to putting some restraint
upon the rush of auction men, ped

list of the different classes of such
visitors as they wish to reach, and
also the amount of license to be
required, and report at an adjourned
meeting to be held at 7:30 next
Monday evening at town hall. Let
there be a general attendance.

themselves great credit. They are to
repeat the entertainment next Fri
day evening, Feb. 9Th, with some
changes and improvements. Admis-
sion. Is cents. Now let us one and
all give the "Tens a rousing benefit.

good work. By ONE WHO WAS THERE.
Col. J. P. Sanford. the prince of
travellers, will furnish the fourth en-
tertainment of this seasons lecture
course at town hall Saturday eve

has Travelled more extensively than
| Col Sanford, and in his line he is
King of the lecture platform. ="
His lectures are both instructive and
entertaining. and are interspersed
with an inexhaustible fund of wit,
humor and anecdote which never
fails to please. Col Sanford was
one of the most popular lecturers of
the course last year, and we bespeak
! for him a rousing audience this year.
A few of the best seats in the body
of the house are available as re-
served seats for this entertainment
only, aside from the chairs in aisle
and other seats which have been re-
moved heretofore. Those desiring
reserved seats should apply early to
H. A. Slayton, treasurer lecture as
sociation. Come one, come all.
