The correspondent OF the Journal
unwittingly perpetrated joke On our
people of Oakland by sendin,, in a
news item to the effect that there
would be given in the First Baptist
church on Tuesday night last a lee
ture by Prof. Johnson of Colby. The
pastor of the Baptist church was
kept busy answering replies over the
telephone about the lecture and re-
ceived many assurances from people
that they were going. On that eve
ming some did so, bus they went
home again. The reason for the mix
up is to be found in the fact that
placards announcing the lecture
which was given really in the First
Baptist church of Waterville We're
some of the shop windows. but there
: was nothing on the card to indi- :
cate whether the lecture was to be
held in Waterville or oakland; hence
the trouble. Hereafter folks in Wat
erville announcing functions Of any
sort by printed hand bills, flyer. cir
cular, poster OF placarI are request :
ed to sign the name Of their home
town.
