The Liberty Girls who appeared on
the lecture course last Thursday eve
ming proved a disappointment to the
majority of the people who heard
them. This; number of the course
came highly recommended and the
general impression was that it would
be the best entertainment on the
course The company was made up
of five young ladies' who gave a must
cal program, interspersed with read
ings. The reader displayed much tai
ent and this feature of the program
was thoroughly enjoyed, The music,
however, was far below the standard,
expected and it was the opinion OF
many that Denison has many music
ians more talented. The lecture
course is not to be condemned, how.
ever, for the course as q whole has
been very satisfactory and people gen.
orally are we'll pleased with the class
of entertainments given.
The news of the death of Mrs. Ira
Pritchard, of Philadelphia. was re.
ceiyed here last Thursday, and came
as shock to Denison people. Mrs.

Mae Thuresson, and made her home in
this city for several years during the
time that her father, Rev. T. E. Thur
essen was pastor of the Methodist,
church, part of which time she worked
in the Office of Conner & Lally. Later
she worked at Des ,Moines and Boone
and it was at the latter place that she
met and married Ira G. Pritchard, of
Philadelphia, where she had made her
home since. Mrs. Pritchard and hus-
band were spending the winter months
in the south and while at Wichita
Falls, Texas she was taken i'll with
the influenza and complications set in
from which She did not recover, and
death resulted on Sunday, February.
18th. The remains were taken to
Philadelphia for interment. Mrs.
Pritchard has many friends and ac-
quaintancess here who will greatly re-
greet to hear of her untimely death.
