CUBA AND THE OUBANS.

The lecture announced to be given
on Scuba and the Cubans" by Miss
Anna Buckbee-being the first in the
Students Lecture Course, for this
year-was a most entertaining and
profitable one.
The views are in every way all that
can be asked, clear, we'll defined and
of a good size. The subject matter
of the lecture was most happily chosen
and given in a most elegant and
entertaining phrase. Every feature
of it was just what is needed to make
every intelligent reader of the daily
newspaper, appreciate more fully and
more clearly the real difficulties as
existing in the island of Cuba.
The only regret to be expressed is
that there were not more Of our
citizens out to hear this entertaining
and instructive lecture.

THAT SUPPERl

The supper given by "Aunt
Jemima and her assistants in their
quaint old plantation costumes in St.
Paul's Parish House last Thursday
evening was greater success than
even the most sanguine had contem.
plated. The griddle cakes were just
perfect, and the manner in which
they disappeared was the best evil
dence in the world that the cooks
thoroughly understood the culinary
art. The coffee was delicious as in
deed was everything which went to
make up the supper. Over two hun
dred were served and neat sum was
added to the treasury.

Did You Hear him2

Col. James M. Scovil fully main
tanned his reputation as an earnest,
forcible and eloquent speaker at the
meeting in the Opera House last
Sunday afternoon. 1t was the fifth
anniversary of the Young Mems
Christian Association, and notwith-
standing the severe weather the
Opera House was filled with people,
who were anxious to hear this cele
brated man who had lately espoused
the Masters cause. 1t was a plain,
practical talk, and from the first to
the last he held the attention of the
entire audience. He gave brief
review of his life, and stated that
whilst he had held positions of honor
and trust he never found in them the
satisfaction he did in the service of
the Lord. He is firm believer in
the efficacy of prayer, as those of his
aged mother followed him all through
life and ultimately were instrumental
In his salvation. The music of the
orchestra was grand, and every one
enjoyed the solos of Mrs w. c. Mul-
ford and Mrs. Elmer Melck. The
brief report of the secretary showed
that the association was in a good
condition, and grand work had been
accomplished by them during the
past year. Thirty men had accepted
Christ, and the mems meeting had an
average attendance of over two hun
dred. This is an institution which
should receive a liberal support by
our people.

Many Deaths in the County.

While the holiday season brought
joy to many households through this
broad land there are those into which
deaths blighting sting entered to leave
a sorrow which only time can comfort
and vacancy which nothing can fill.
No matter what the occasion, death
seems alway to be with us, and just
when we least expect it some loved
one is stricken as if more to illustrate
our ephemeral existence here than to
mark the closing of finished life.
