The Louisa Public Lecture Course.

The Louisa Public Lecture Course.
The teachers OF the Louisa Pub
lie School have organized them
selves into Lecture Course Com
mittee for the purpose OF bringing
to the people OF Louisa a series OF
entertainments which will meet
all the requirements Of instruction
and amusement. These numbers
will be presented at regular inter-
walls during the fall and winter,
provided only they meet the APP
proval and support OF tho people
for whom they are planned. The
Committee will put forth every
effort to make the entire course OF
the highest quality and one of
which the citizens OF Louisa may
well be proud,
The course has not been planned
for the purpose Of money making.
Every cent left over after meeting
the expenses OF any number, will
be spent In making the successive
numbers more attractive. Should
there be any money left at the con-
clusion 1t will be expended for pub
lie school purposes. The fact that
Miss Margaret 0'Brien is the treas
urer OF the Committee and that
through her hands will pass every
cent OF money received or expend-
ed by them should vouch to tho
people that every cent they spend
patronizing the course will be re-
turned to them again.
The first number to be presented
TO the public will be an original
adaptation OF Alice Caldwell He
gan's charming story, "Mrs. Wigs
OF the Cabbage Palchn, by Miss
Ellen James, b. L., monologue
artist, reader and entertainer ofex-
ceptional talent.
