The next number of the lyceuu

prising townspeople have brought to
our city for the enjoyment and en-
lightenment Of this community these
long winter evenings is, Await Green,
the widely known and clever enter
tainer Who is now on his third season
with the Britt Lyceum Bureau, which
in itself is a strong recommendation
for this ability to draw large houses
and entertain them.
He gives an "individaul" enter
tainment that has proven a winner
wherever he has appeared, and It
is anticipated that be will meet with
bis usual success here. The Nash
vile, Tenn. American says Of him,
for instance Alvah Green present
ed his "Stringsown Literary" as the
second number on our lecture course
to full house and a highly appreci-
alive audience. While he furnishes
a "one man" program, his arrange
ment of the evenings performance
is delightfully."- conceived and ad-
executed to the entire
elimination of anything like stiffness
Or tedious announcement. His fun is
70 clean and wholesome, and so CON-
pelling withal, that dienifed profess
sors of our college laughed till the
Iears came and pronounced il good.
His pathetic numbers are very fine,
and compel tears Of a different sort.
