Unintsntionally on your part there crept
into your paper yesterday slight mistake
that reg leave to correct 1t was stated
that Few. Thos. Dixons lecture at the Opera
House this evening at s o'clock was to be de-
livercd under the auspices of the Second Pres.
byterisn Church. This church has nothing
whatever to do with the lecture, nor does 1t,
as a church, believo 10 church entertain
ments. Mr. Dixon is Mrs. Thsckers brother,
and has been secured TO lecture IN AlexandTia
through my special effort. Knowing the
culture aud appreciation Of our good people, l
though. it would justify lecturer of Mr..
Dixon's standing and ability in visiting the
CITY, and the price has been reduced from 81
70 50 cents that it might be in reach of all.
Hoping to see a goodly number Of people
both from Washington and Alexandra. atthe
