Quaker Male Quartet.

The second entertainment by the lect-
ure association was given at the opera
house, Tuesdy evening. by the Quaker
Male Quartet. The opera house was
crowded, although it was a very dis
agreeable night.
This entertainment was one OF the very
best ever given in Garnett, and 1t was OF
kind that is appreciated by Garnett
audience.
The quartet consisted of a J.Gahring,
first tenor; ]. A Williams, second tenor;
w. n. Amundson, baritone, and n. l..
Baker, basso. Miss Nellie b. Turner,
reader and accompanist, rendered admir-
able assistance, her part being enjoyed as
much as any other. Her imitation OF the
cornet is excellent, and as whistler she
is success.
While all of the singers were fine, Mr..
Baker was probably enjoyed the most
in his dialect songs, He is a perfect
mimic.
The lecture association is to be con
graduated on this entertainments we
hope the others will be equally good.

The IrlR Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said OF the scientific
causes upon which the Rev. lrl X. Hicks
bases his yearly forecasts OF storm ana
weather. it is a remarkable fact that
specific warnings of every great storm
flood. cold wave and drouth have been
nr;nted in his now famous Almanac Tor
many wears. The latest startling proof
of this fact was the destruction OF pai,
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac, as
one of disaster by storm along the gull
coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far the
finest, most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This remark
able hook of near two hundred pages,
splendidlv illustrated with charts and
halftone engravings, goes premium to
every subscriber who pays one doliar a
wear for Prof. Hicks journal, Word ana
Works. The Almanac alone is sent pre-,
paid for only 25c. Order from Word
