For THE LYCEuM.

Another of the splendid lyceum
numbers will be here Monday after
noon and evening, December IS. The
opening number came during the
county fair in October and there was
so much fuss and fine feathers for

community hardly knew there was a
rare program Of real art under way

first was good one and the course

The winter lyceum appears for the
educational advantages there are to
be obtained The presentation Of
real art in music, literature, poetry,
and the Instructive messages that
come from the lecture platform are
all ours in this course.
1t has been put on and backed by
local citizens for the purpose of gain
ing all these things for the commun-
ity. 1t is not a money making enter
prise. 1t is brought in on a guarantee
to those who come to perform and
often the attraction costs more than
the people pay for it.
But the community is going to pay
for its winter lyeeum course That
is matter it can afford to pass up.
The people are going to patronize
this and others as often as they come
because they cannot afford to do /.
