Don't forget the lecture on February
2lst, by Robert Parker Miles, of New
York City. 1t affords everyone an
opportunity to listen to a man who
has spent a lifetime of study and
thought and has boiled down the best
to give to his various audiences. Don't
think because Gray is a small place,
good talent will not come here. The
lecture bureaus have good men and
pay them good money, more in fact
than they will take in in Gray, but
having once hired man his pay goes
on and they must keep him making
something so they take small places at
small loss in between the big places
where they can make money. Robert
Miles is man of we'll known ability
and will give pleasing address. Re
member it is February 26th at the M.
