Lecture by President Winston.

ture at the Baptist church in this place
last thursday night. His subject was
The Money Value of Education
He had a large congregation to hear
him and for the space of one hour and
twenty minutes he talked to the edifi-
cation and instruction of his hearers.
There was nothing Of the character
istics of the orator about the speaker,
nor did he attempt to embellish his
lecture with any flowers of rhetoric -,
but in a plain. practical manner he
discussed his theme and gave abundant
proof of the value and importance of
education-educatio not only Of the
brain, but of the heart, the body, &C.,
as we'll. It was the talk of a practical
business man to business people and
one we doubt not is calculated to do
good. Our citizens need educating on
the subject of education. and we thank
DR.. Winston for his lecture Thursday
night. We wish every parent and
property owner in Henderson could
have heard what he said about the
needs of a graded school here, and the
benefits to be derived from such an
institution,
