the auspices OF the High
School
The lecture course of Gray Town
for the year of 1861 is being
promoted by the High School. Owing
| to the goodness of the Commercial
Club Of Gray, the High School bids
fair to reap bounteous harvest. In
former times the course has always
paid for itself with perhaps one or
two exceptions. This year everything
bids fair to a money-maker for the
high school; even the weather gives
every indication of being very mild
and considerate to every one and
everything. With a large crops of
ticket sellers scouting the country
side and accosting everyone to make
a purchase, the school looks anxiously
forward to the 225 mark of season
tickets to have been sold e'er the ar
rival of the time for the first num-
Der. In case any one is accidently
missed, he will confer favor upon
the high school If he will see any of
the high school students or business
men and make known to them that
he has been accidently missed and
they will gladly sell him his season
ticket for himself and entire family.
The first number of the course is
lecture by DR.. John A. Gray on the
evening of Wednesday Nov. list DR..
Gray is a man of broad education and
wide experience in the associations
and knowledge of men. He is one of
the most successful photo-play writ
ers in the U. S. He is known far and
wide as one of the best lectureres in
America, and his reputation as a man
of deep thought and educational
ability is heralded turnout the entire
world of thinking men.
DR.. Gray worked his way thru col
lege and when his course was COM
pleted, he entered another and then
completed seminary course. He
was then called to the pulpit of the
Workingman's Church, New YorK
