ERNEST WRAY 0NEAL.
Powerful Young Platform Speaker APP
pears at the Opera House Next
"Wednesday Evening

The fourth number of the Alma
Lyceum course occures at the Alma
Opera House next Wednesday evening,
January II. Ernest Wray Oneal will
deliver one of his popular lectures. OF
him the Aurora, Gil. Beacon says:
Aurora's most powerful platform
speaker, Mr.. Oneal is a student and a
deep thinker, forcible and effective
speaker. His address of Monday even
ing ranks high among the eulogies given
all over the nation yesterday upon "Old
Abe" Many great lecturers have
failed to interest Aurora audiences.
But Aurora's orator and lecturer touched
the hearts of every one in his large
audience last night.
And this also in the Dexter, I'LL }
Star: The speaker has happy faculty
of combining beautiful figure after
figure into a perfect climax, which
cannot fail to delight the most cultured
audience, while it is not less interesting
to those less educated. Orators familiar
throughout the land have preceded him,
but never before in Lee county has been
breathed such spirit of eloquence. The
address, rapid and interesting, was all
too short.

Teachers Association have decided that
it is fitting and appropriate that a cele-
bration of the event should be held on

county seat, which celebration should
be of such a nature as to adequately
represent the organization and pioneer
history, the social, educational, agricul-
tural and business development of the
county during the last half century, and
whereas there are matters in which
every citizen of the county are vitality
interested Therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that our undersigned
members of the various committees
mentioned above respectfully request
the Gratiot County Board of Supervis-
ors now in session to appropriate the
sum of one hundred dollars toward bear
ing the expense of procuring speakers
and making such educational aud other
exhibits as the committee on program
may deem necessary.
In accordance with the above resolu-
tions the board Of supervisors made an
appropriation of 500.
