plans to that effect had all been

DR.. Charles Calvert Ellis, Prof.
of English, OF Juanti College,
Pennsylvania will lecture in the
Academy of Music January 10Th.
DR.. Ellis is q great lecturer. He
will lead you through an evening
OF entertainment and of pleasure.
Most lectures are considered dry
and tedious but DIR. Ellis is in
teresting and fascinating from the
beginning to the end of his adj
dress. DR.. Ellis rose from a news
boy to college professor and it was
a long road. He earned the de-
gree of Doctor of philosopher in
two universities as a student of
Education ssand Psychology and
yet has lost none of the human
element which he experienced
while a newsboy.
Our brother of the Centerville
Reformer doesn't shirk giving direct
reply to a brotherly query. He
will tell the truth, even if it "shame
the devil" though in the following
instance | do not insinuate that
anything of that sort attaches to
the answer: "The Salem Monitor
desires to know why we didn't
save our case of beer, we made
mention of a couple of weeks ago,
until the 4th of July, instead of
using it as a New Years refresh
ment.' We must acknowledge
that we have never learned how to
keep it from one season to the
next, and if the editor of the
Monitor has ever had any success
in keeping this kind of goods, we
would feel under lasting obliga-
tons for his receipt"
The house of James G.. Austin,
just south Of Arcadia, was de-
stroyed by fire about midnight
Monday. MI. Austin and three
sons were sleeping in the house.
The fire originated in the kitchen,
a one-story addition to the house,
and when Mr.. Austin, who was
first awakened, discovered the fire,
the roof of that portion of the
building was falling in. He hur-
riedly woke the boys and gave the
alarm. The pusher whistled loud
and long, but the fire had gained
such Roadway before the discovery
was made that the flames could
not be checked. The kitchen
furniture was a total loss, but COM
siderable in the other part of the
house was saved. The loss is a
severe one for Mr.. Austin and he
has the sympathy of the commu-
nifty in his misfortune. There
was an insurance of S700 on the
house.
