there are between 6,000 and 7,000
men working there, which includes

The Murray Lecture Course.
The Midland Lyceum Bureau will
give a five number lecture course in
Murray this winter. This course is
managed by the Aid society of the
Christian church, the Missionary so
ciety of the Presbyterian church and
the Library association. They will
begin selling tickets in September.
This course costs $200.00, and that
means that the citizens of Murray
and surrounding countn will need
to patronize it liberally in order to
assist the management in playing
even, and the organizations promot
ing it should make a clean profit. All
they ask is to assist in paying the
expenses. The mere promise that you
will attend is not sufficient, but buy
your season tickets early; there can
be no success made unless this is
done. The course will consost of
three concerts, one lecture and one
entertainer. The management ex
pects to call on each and every fam
ily in Murray and vicinity. Think
it over and do your best possible for
the s-uccess of a good, clean line of
amusement for your pleasure this
winter.

GOOD OATS RETURNS.
T3:at thie country is railing good
small grain, is sko.vn by the high
yields of this season. The freezing
out of the winter wheat is respon
sible for a larger acreage of corn and
oats throuphout this state, as v -il
as in numerous others. The result
shows that the rotation of crops is
good for production. The threshing
returns on the farm of Gtorge Slan
der, last Saturday, show S3 bushel of
oats per acre. At the price for which
oats are selling now, even the most
high priced farm land; are profitable
from a farming standpoint.
