A FINE LITERARY PROGRAM,

At Union school house, Friday
night. Jan. 10th. There were but
few districts represented on the
program, as it was storming all
day Friday up until almost dark.
At late hour the crowd began
to assemble until the seating ca
pacity of the house was all taken
up. At s o'clock Hon. Hiram
Threlkeld called the house to
order, and Florence Gibbs was
elected chairman, after which a
number of selected pieces were
rendered, interspersed by
music given by Prof. Shuts and
brother.
After 10 minutes recess and the
house called to order again, the
joint debate was in order between
Union and Beaver Dam, on the
question, Resolved, That Woman
should be granted the right or
privilege Of voting. This was a
hot contest from start to finish.
All the speakers did well. The
Beaver Dam speakers each seem
ed to us to have different line of
argument, like an endless chain
without a broken link, speaking
direct to the question and estab-
fishing their points of argument.
The honorable judges on this
occasion were Charley Black
George Throgmorten, and Roland
Hodge. The judges decided in
favor of the negative, Beaver
Dam.
Many who live distant from
Union are anxious to have the de
bate over again, as it was bad
night and they could not attend
this being a living issue. We can
only refer them to Hon. Hiram
Threlkeld Of Beaver Dam and
Prof. Charles Liebler of Union
who are the instigators.
Oh, by the way, please mention
thru your valuable paper to the
ladies of Mexico to postpone THEN
