THE LYCEUM COURSE.

A few of our citizens, conceiving
the idea that Brandon is able to af-
ford and would appreciate series Of
first class lectures and entertainments,
have contracted with the Rice Bureau,
Of Nashville, Tenn, for five attrac-
tions, all of which are high class, and
deserves the patronage Of all. These
entertainments have been secured at a
great cost, but those who vouched for
the financial end of the course, had
ample confidence in the appreciation
of our people of something rare in the
way of diversion, and had no hesitancy
in getting the very best talent regard
less of the expense. The first Of the
series will be the Brown Concert Go. ],
which will appear at Johnson Hall,
on the night Of October %.
Mr.. Brown comes to the Lyceum
with unusual promise of pleasure to
the patrons of our courses and the
management of the bureau. His rare
Calent on che king OF instruments has
been critically tested and he has
abundantly vindioated the claim Of
his friends that he is an artist. We
are confident that he will justify the
most enthusiastic representations that
we may make.
Mr.. Brown has associated with him
two other gifted entertainers.
Mrs. Laura NJ. Gregg has the double
equipment Of being q pianiste who is
able to render instrumental solos and
play most acceptable accompaniment
to the violin numbers Of Mr.. Brown.
She has also q soprano voice that will
delight that part Of the audiences who
especially love vocal music.

left Natchez about ten days ago and
went to Louisville, KY, to pass the
detention period, in order that she
could return to the state and com
mence her school duties.
A health certificate furnished evil
dence that the young lady had beer
in Louisville, but failed to show the
length of time spent in that city. She
acknowledged to being citizen Of
Natchez, and the inspector then asked
II she had any evidence Of q docu
mentary character, such as personal
letters, to show how long she had
been out of Natchez.
