The lecture in the Court House here Mon
day night by Edward Err, of Piusbure, on
"Boer and Briton" was good and deserved a
much larger audience, but our people had
been treated to so many good things the past
two weeks that they were rather surfeited
with amusements and as the lecture was not
advertised OF worked up much, the crowd
was rather slim, but those present we're re-.
paid Tor their attendance, as the speaker is a
fine word-painter and has good address.
The pictures were good, but we're not work
ed very we'll owing to the regular man for
that business not being along.
