Birthday. Rev. G.. L. Nor
rill, of Minneapolis, on George
Washington was the principal
feature of the local celebration
last Monday. Mr.. Morrill, won his
audience as soon as he arose to,
speak and received more applause
than any speaker that disappeared
here in a long time. He did not
have great deal to say regarding
Washington, but discussed many
topics of the time, told of his trav-
els abroad and related numerous
funny stories, all of which were
new to his hearers. He made a
decided hit with his audience.
He talked to the prisoners in a
sympathetic vein, giving them
words of encouragement and cheer,
and in conclusion sat down at the
piano and rendered what he calls
"Life's Music Lesson" a mono
logue in which the words are
spoken to an accompanimentwhich
has appropriate music for the va
rious phases of q mans life, from
the cradle to the grave.
There was also an exceptionally
good musical program provided
by local talent. It included the
following numbers: March, Com
