THE LYCEUM.
Organization Effected and a Good
Membership Already Secured.

There was an enthusiastic meeting
at Cooper Opera House Monday night
in the interest of the Lyceum. A
number Of ladies were present who
showed their interest in the matter.
An organization was effected by
the election of Prof. L. j. Alderman
president and Thad K. Manning secre-
| tary. An executive committee, or
| board of managers, and a treasurer
constitute the other officers. This
committee the president asked time
to name and we have not secured the
names from him.
A soliciting committee composed
of some OF the most active and intel
ligent ladies and gentlemen who are
deeply interested in the movement
was appointed, and they report about
IS or more names already. A good
list for beginning. These represent
many Of the most literary, refined
and cultivated people of the town.
The membership fee is $50 and
carries two tickets. Each additional
membership will be fifty cents, en-
titling the holder of such membership
to one ticket only. This is for the
half season and it is calculated to get
in three or four good lectures during
that time. And the lectures will be
Of the best.
To the person who is capable of en-
joying and approaching an intellect
ual treat of this kind the Lyceum
will at once commend itself. 1t is
desirable that the membership shall
represent the intelligence, culture
and refinement of the town, and as
such it will be of great benefit to the
individual members and a source of
enjoyment at the same time.
You will feel more comfortable if your
underwear is right. The kind that is

prices are right, too, and if you will look

Campbell & Co., Photographers

If a person We're to 90 to Richmond
and request to be directed to Camp
bells he would not be asked which
one, although there are others" of
that name there. Campbell's art
gallery would instantly suggest itself
and thither the enquirer would be
guided or directed.
For many years Richmond has en-
joyed the reputation of having one of
the finest photographic artists in the
whole country. No better work is to
be had in New York or elsewhere.
For short while the people of Hen
derson and surrounding country are
to be given an opportunity to get the
benefit of Richmond work at Rich
mond prices. Messrs. Campbell II
Co. have rented the Photographic gal
lery over l'orsey's drug store for this
purpose.
They guarantee strictly frst-class
work at reasonable prices and we ad-
wise all who wish such to take advant-
age of the opportunity offered.
AS many of our readers will recall
Mr.. Campbell was here for while
eight or ten years ago and his work
was then Of the best. He has kept
right up to date with the progress and
Improvements made in the photo
graph art and is better now than he
was then.
But we don't ask you to take our
word for it. Go and see for yourself.

Should be Guarded Against Hereafter.

The stealing of the hose noZZles
thus putting the town at the mercy
of the flames in the event fire had
occurred during the 65 hours they
were in possession of the man who
bought them, suggests the idea that
there ought to he more than one set.
OF course the ones wanted for imme-
diate use could not be kept under lock
and key. and exposed as they are they
may be stolen at any time iust as
they were. Suppose fire had broken
out before these noZZles were re-
covered. The waterworkS and hose
reels might as we'll have not been in
existence for the good they would
have done.
Such contingency should be
guarded against in future. Let the
town buy duplicate set of nozzles
and keep them in safe place for any
emergency. or else--let it be under
stood that who ever steals these
things hereafter will be tied by the
neck under hydrant and full steam
of water turned on him.
