trict.-There was a good attendance at the
meeting Of the Sweet Air Lyceum last Saturday
night, despite the fact that the weather was
not propitious. Doubtless this is what kept
the president away and he missed something
by his absence. Messrs. w. Harrison Curtis
and Alexander Guthrie put up good arguments
against divorce. while the other side was main
tanned by Messrs. Elmer r. Halle and Herbert
Owens. The judges thought that the first
named gentlemen were entitled to the verdict
and it was accordingly given to them. The
arguments were much enjoyed by the audience
and it was evident that the speakers had come
well prepared. In addition to the debate Mr..
Elmer Z. Halle read selection that was APP
plauded; Mr.. Harvey also read and Miss Guth-
RE, of Manor, recited; Miss Bertha Burk and
Mr. Thomas Burk sang duet. and Mr.. William

parliament by bis wife.
