The management Of the lecture
course is happy that they have the
privilege to announce the lecture of DIR.
Thomas Dixon Jr., at the Opera house.
Thursday, Feb. IL.
DIR. Dixon certainly is a platform
success. By many persons he is con
sidered the best lecturer and orator IN
America. He undoubtedly ranks
among the very best, being superior to
such men rs Burdette. Hopkins, Mil.
Ter, Hughes, Horn, Quayle aud the like
and equalling, il not excelling such men
as Senator DolIiver. Ex-Governor Bob
Taylor, Gen. John Gordon, the great
southern general. DR.. Wendells, Wat
terson and men of equal power. each of
whom receive from $50 to $3.50 for
each night they lecture. Dixon is su.
perior to Bryan as an orator and equal
to Roosevelt as a logician. He is great.
Rev. j. w. Carter says. He is the
platform king of America"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: His
deep set black eyes seem to pierce
the hearts of his hearers. Without af-
lection and yet with dramatic intensity
he soon had control of his audience
DIR. F. II. Kerfoot expresses himself
thus: Solomon said there IS nothing
new under the sun; but Solomon had
not seen Dixon"
Benz. Stainback, Mgr. Memphis Au.
ditorium, says: I'VE had Dixon last
night and Dixon has US. His great au-
dience inspired him, and he delivered
the grandest lecture ever uttered from
the Auditorium platform. l want the
refusal Of him for next seasCn. Put
that down in your book and don't for
get It."
Sam Jones cannot refrain but
states: IL know Mr.. Dixon well. I
have preached In his church and heard
him preach. Before he Is half through
you will have to feel for your old peck
ct knife to identify yourself with. He
Is q live wire"
The Webb City Sentinel in its re-
marks gives the following: REV.
Thomas Dixon may have stood amid
the learned of classical old Boston, or
in the presence of assembled multi
tudes at Plymouth Church, New York,
| but surely it has not been his privilege
to look upon fairer, more cultured or
attentive audience than greeted tim at
the auditorium last night. Nor has the
collective intelligence OF the city been
privileged to sit in the presence of a
more original and brilliant man.
IF this is an age OF lightning, this
distinguished divine is truly it's pro.
duct. He talks with the rapidity OF
lightning, the current of his thought
flows with lightning speed and brilliant
| flashes of his wit strike with the force
Of an electric bolt. His logic is irresist.
IDLE. his eloquence superb, his style
original and entertaining. Brilliant
resourceful, conscious of his own pow.
or, he carried his spell-bourd hearers
from the ludicrous to the sublime, ex.
hibiting the genius of pure wit in his
intellectual surprises and ends in a
storm Ut applause. He is splendid
product of this young and vigorous age
q type unto himself"
It Is certain that those who hear this
master OF oratory will be greatly delight.

Sharon will be here to listen to his
splendid message. No one can afford

every person within a reasonable dis.
lance from town be sure to attend
