Magnincient Treat Arranged for Reyn oldsvilie People This Winter. The school lecture course for the coming year has been arranged. The talent sycuredis the very best that two of our largest lyceum bureaus can offer, Tho merits of the different numbers ex ceed those of last year. The price paid is greater. And a greater patronage is solicited. Last year's school entertain ment, excepting the Junior contest, net ted $112. The contest brought in $103, Every dollar made in this way goes to leseon school taxes. The first number will be Hon. Ben jamin R. Tillman, South Carolina's re nowned senator. There is no greater man in our national Senate or few greater characters among our national statesmen. His speeches are heralded throughout the land. That he is com ing to Reynoldsvilie and will speak in our Assembly hall should be hailed with delight by all and none should miss the opportunity to hear one of America's greatest men. His subject will be "A Plea for the People." The course also includes the widely known humorist, Mr. Glllalon, who is the president of the National Associa tion of Humorists of America. Mr. Gillalon is one of the largest contribu tors to Jiulije. He is also writer for the Chicago jVetcs and Baltimore American. Many courses in our cities feature Gllla. Ion as the star number. He has great power with his audience, producing up roarous laughter, which soon changes to tears. Dr. Greeu, famous on the lecture plat form for his lecture, "The Twentioth Century," will also be present. That he comes recommended highly by Admiral Dowey, Secretary of Agriculture WllHon, by Secretary of Treasury Shaw, by Dr. Gunsaulus of Chicago and others as prominent Is sufficient guaran tee of his superior ability. The musical numbers will bn filled by tbe Lyric Glee Club of Chicago, who carryaisoa leader of high morlt, and the Lula Tyler Gates Company. Both of these companies were selected from a large number, all of which are con sidered the very best attractions doing lyceum work. We have aimed to make this course the best Reynoldsvilie has ever had and we believe we have succeeded. There is not one mediocre number on the course. That such an effort and risk has been made to bring the best talent possible to secure, merits large patron age. Tbe general admission tickets are now on sale at Stoke and Felcht Drug store for one dollar. C. J. Scott. KILLED BROTHER-IN-LAW. Mrs. JuJiaFlora, of Anita, Shot Joe Tlora JVoman Now In Jail.

Volunteers Marched Behind their Battle-Scarred Flag Once More. The nineteenth annual reunion of the 105th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun teers, held in Reynoldsvilie last week was a pleasant and -delightful occasion for the old veterans. A request had been made that the townspeople decor ate their places of business and resi dences in honor of the survivors of the noble regiment, and as a consequence "old glory" was conspicuous along Main street and on some of the side streets. The veterans began coming into town on Wednesday and when the roll was called Thursday 110 members of the 105th regiment were present, ten less than answered to the roll call two years ago when the reunion was held here.
