LYCEUM COURSE CLOSES

The Darnelle Com bina.
ton gave the closing number of
the lyceum curse in the opera
house Saturday evening. The
pianist of the company having
been called away, Miss Bertha
Miller took her place to the en-
tire satisfaction of all concerned.
While the attendance was good,
it should have been better, for
the entertainment was high
class in every way.
1t is to be regretted that the
lyceum course was a failure ii.
nanclally, as the receipts were
not equal to the guarantee given
by c. l.. Beach, the manager.
1t is to be hoped another course
will be given next season and
that our people will give it the

In regard to Vera McMinn,
she certainly is a nice little girl.
She was sent back to the orphans
home because she had cOnsump-
tion-not for any other reason at
all. If all the mothers could
raise a girl as nice in every way
as she is and who stayed at home
and never meddled into other
peoples business, and did not
talk about anyone as she did, they
could say they had a daughter to
be proud of. To the one who has
tried to lower her reputation
they should not try to get some
thing disgraceful started on a
poor little orphan girl, without
father or mother to care for her.
The poor girl was as innocent as
an angel in that. God pity the
one who would roam the streets
of Mansfield to find a little girl
