Col. Dargan's Lecture.

Glowing enthusiasm, boundless en-
ergy, a fund of knowledge, and sin
cerest patriotism: what better com
bination could there be for the work
Col. Dargan has set himself to do
that Of Illuminating and preserving
the memory Of our great dead.
His lecture last week was interest
ing from start to finish and created
an answering thrill in the breasts OF
his hearers. The rooms so kindly
lent by the Eagles were filed by an
intelligent audience, who may be
trusted to draw the right lesson from
his picture of historical injustice and
untruth.
The speakers gifts are many, but
ne is best as a stimulator Of others
and an awakened interest in our for
gotten heroes must come as the re-
suit Of his labors.
The music rendered by the Misses
Dargan added much to- the pleasure
Of the evening.
