list, was in Columbus yesterday look
ing over the prospects for making
an engagement for Mr.. Cobb in this

section.
A cold thousand dollars is Mr..
Cobb's fee for one lecture, but by
special arrangement and on account
of Mr.. Cobb's appearance at the A. &
M. College he can be secured for $3.50.
II is probable that some organiza-
