Do not fail to hear Rev Con. Haney
at the Disciple church on Tuesday
evening, Dec. 49, His well known rep
utatiOn as an orator always insures
crowded houses. On the platform he

impassionate in expression, beaming
in oratory and poetical thought.

afford to miss hearing Chicago's mag
netic orator on next Tuesday night
Mr.. Haney's keen wit and mastery elo-

him among the foremost of American
orators. In his lecture on Ireland and
Irishmen he is eloquent to brilliancy,
humorous and witty, with a delivery at
times strikingly dramatic.

The State Agricultural society, at its
recent meeting, discussed in an inform
al sort Of way the practicability of ask
ing the next legislature for state aid.
The proposition to be made is to this
effect: The state to appropriate $20,-
600 for the payment of the debts of the
society and $50, 900 for permanent i'm
provements, and the society to deed to
the state its property in Lansing, val
ued at $75, 600. We doubt very much
if the legislature will decide TO put the
state into the show business.
