HYPNOTIST COMING

Norwood, the Hypnotist, opens a
weeks engagement at Grantland next
Monday night. His performance is
divided into two parts, the first being
devoted to hypnotizing various sub
jects from the audience, the second to
answering questions which have been
written on paper and placed in sealed
envelopes. The hpnotic part of the
program contains numerous interest
ing and laughable events. The con-
sternation Of the various subjects as
they awaken from their hypnotic
sleep is alone worth the price of adj
mission to see. Just how Norwood
answers questions handed him is a
matter that has bothered psycholo-
gists all over the country AS an adj
vertising feature, Norwood has a
young man placed in hypnotic sleep
and left in a local show window for
80 hours. He plays checkers and per-
forms on a piano while in the cata-
leptic state.

LIKES HISTORICAL NOTES

Eiroqua, Wis, March 20, 1925.
Grant County Herald,
My dear Sir:
You will find enclosed $100 which
is to apply on my subscription
I don't want to miss number as I
am much interested in the wrI.e ups
of Judge Wilmott and others.
I was born at Hazel Green the year
Wisconsin became state. Removed
from there to farm near Lancaster
where I lived until of age. In the
meantime attended school and taught
until 1881 when / began the study of
medicine. Graduated from a Chicago
college and located at Viroqua where
have resided most of the time since
1883.
I have thought many times would
write up little history that might be
of some interest.
Very truly yours,

MINSTREL SHOW
GIVES MONEYS
WORTH TO ALL
And Good Sum Cleared For
Kiwanis Charity Fund. -
Houses Packed.

The KiwaniS Minstrel Show held
Thursday and Friday nights at Grant
land theatre proved to be a big mon
ey's worth to all who attended. And
''all who attended" was considerable
number a sthe house was packed on
both nights. Around $500 was cleared
and the entire sum goes into the XII
wants charitable and benevolent fund.
Naturally the second nights show
went smoother and quicker than the
first. From the rise of the cutrain at
$3.50 until IL o'clock, there was some
thing doing every minute.
The circle was well up to circles of
former years with tuneful so1oists and
good chorus. The act was we'll cos
tuned and beautifully staged.
The next skit was an inimitable
comedy act by F. c. Burr who be-
walled the Invasion of 1926" placing
the blame for all modern troubles in
the advance of feminism.
Songs, Old and New" was the next
number, the Imperial quartet doing
what is known on big time" as a "po-
lite society act,'' set to music. This
was an excellent number.
MYSTIC, the claiEvoyant, proved a
mystery to the big audience in the next
act. DR.. Doolittle as "Mysto," was
seated on the stage, blindfolded. He
called articles picked up by F. G. Mey-
er in the audience. Just how the act
was worked so cleverly is still a topic
for discussion.
Misses Anna Clementson and Helen
Doolittle interpolated with some
graceful toe dancing.
Buck" Mccoy and F. G. Burr fol-
lowed with comedy sketch called
"The Auto Salesman" Their ability
toward playing the clown was given
full vent Buck" sold Burr decrepit
car for thirty dollars. The machine
finally went up in smoke with no dam
age to anyone.
The last scene, modern version of
"Uncle Thomas's Cabin was a fitting
close to an evening of fun. The cpl
sodes of the classic of the drama were
burlesqed in a laughable manner. AS
final Buck" Mccoy, as Little Eva,
was transported aloft to slow music.
F. G. Burr, as "Uncle Thomas" was
trying to get ride on the swing
heaven wards.
A measure of praise should be hand
ed the four end men, Mccoy, Burr,
Mccarthy and Knapp. These old
timers said it was their last public
appearance as MINISTRIES and their
swan song. if end it was, had the the
go of former years and then some.
In Glowing, buck and wing dancing,
comedy and other variants of end
work they proved huge delight to
the big audience.
The orchestra work was we'll hand
led and pleasing feature of the show.

EVANGELIST
TO BE HERE
NEXT MONTH
Local Churches Prepare fol-
Coming Campaign-TO
Unite on Work.

The prayer meeting held last Thurs
day at the Baptist church, was we'll
attended, about 100 being present.
Rev. Powell spoke on the necessity OF
prayer, especially applying his re-
marks toward the coming evangeliStic
campaign.
He said: 1--WE need to pray for our
selves in order that we might get
right with God. We need to pray for
those who have not given their hearts
to the Lord Jesus"
In order to show that God hears
prayers, and knows who it is that
prays, the speaker referred to the
story of Saul in the book of Acts. To
Ananias the Lord spake, telling him
to go to the street called Straight .
to the home of Judas and there he
would find Saul of Tarsus, who was
praying.
The union service at the Methodist
church Sunday evening was in charge
of the Rev. A. M. Mclaughlin. The
church was packed, even the chairs in
the aisle and elsewhere being occupied
by eager listeners. Standing room
only was to be had The speaker took
as his subject: 1.-THE Forgiveness of
SIuS. OOlII6 vi lIIS 'LAlOuSiIS WO1C cl0
follows: Temptation are on every
hand and yielding to temptation car
ries a man into sin. Sin can only be
forgiven by God When a man sins
against the laws of the state, the state
can commute his sentence, put him on
parole, or give him a pardon. But the
blot of his crime is still on his con-
science unless he has received for
giveness from God. Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, came into the world, not
only as God, nor yet as a man, but
as goldman. He willingly took upon
himself the sins of humanity and gave
his life for the salvation of Man.
The executive committee made up OF
two from each church, together with
the ministers, are making the final
plans for the evangelistic campaign
which will run from April IA to May
5.
The Rev c. c. Smith. evangelist
comes with high recommendations
He is called the Three in one Evan
gelist," for not only is he an excel
lent speaker but he is a very good
Bible teacher. He is the kind of a
man that folks will come out to hear
every time they can. The first SER
vice at which he will speak will be
on April 18th.
