From Massachusetts paper of Nov. II
we take the following;
The Lecture Course opened on Satur
day evening. and under conditions more
suspicious than have marked any season
since the establishment of the orraniza-
ton. Mr.. n. Is. II. Parker, chairman of
the lecture committee, in his announce
ment, said. that the people by their pat
rouage had fully done their part to make
the course a success, a fact emphasized bv
the large audience, which left no seats of
the three hundred and seventy-five. the
seating capacity of the hall emptv. Os
terville, Centfeyile aud Barnstable were
represented. 1t proved also that happy
choice has been made in Che Metropolitan
Star Quintette as the opening number
Though company comes with the high
est recommendations and press notices be
! profuse in praise. yet, even then, it NAV
not suit the taste of every audience, but
there was no failure on the part of the
performers to fulfil all obligations prom
lsed for II. The evening was one of
thorough en5ovplent, and although the
program was more than doubled by the
lnsiStent calls from the audience, more
than one person was heard to say upon
leaving the hall. that the evening was not
halt long enough. District enunciation.
the blending OF their voices as one were
features of the artistic work of the Cecil
ians. Miss Reed, the harpist in her turn
also captured the audience. and with her
harp was a picture as we'll rs performer.
Miss Horr, the reader. whose charming
manner was unmarried by the least affec-
tation, with voice naturally musical
and pleasing, splendidiy trained, with the
style and variety of her selections, also
won enthusiastic appreciation.

In republtshing some letters handed us
by General w. P. Craigill regarding the
centennial celebration of Charles Town,
which was spoken of in 1886, Judge Dan
iel B. Lucas's name should have appeared
as the promised poet for the expected oc-
casion, and not that of Mr.. Bedinger.
The letters of General Craighill were in
1886 with a single exception written to-
Unpublished in, the SPIRIT OF JEFFERSON,
which. in the matter of the county then,
as now of the town, was the first to breach
the subject of a centennial celebration.

We were deeply grieved to learn of
the death of one of our most honored and
beloved .fe11ow-citizens, VIM. L. Wilson.
In his most exemplary life were blended
all the nobler traits of true manhood
which tend to broaden the horizon of
civilization, and the entirenation sustains
loss in the passing away of such a gentle.
modest, pure minded and talented man.
The unvarying good Judgment and sterl-
ing integrity with which conducted the
affairs of the many high and trying posi-

life, will shed ever increasing lustre upon
his cherished name.
