LECTURE COUKSE.
The lecture course arranged for
the Junior Normal is the best ever
arranged for Valentine. The tal
ent for the five evening entertain
ments and afternoon matinee's
costs an even $ iOO. Already 122
tickets have been subscribed for
at § 1.50 each for the season.v All
who wish tickets on these terms
should see Miss Etta Brown , coun
ty superintendent.
For children under 14 years of
age the price of a season ticket is
75c. There are very few parents
in Valentine who cannot afford to
give their children the benefit of
these entertainments , when the
cost is so slight. From an educa
tional stvnd point the first evening
alone will be worth the price of
ticket for the whole season.
On Saturday evening , June-25 ,
Frank Koberson will give his fam
ous illustrated lecture "The Land
of the Midnight Sun. " All hold
ers of Season tickets and purchas
ers of Special tickets for the Eob-
erson lecture , alone can make ar
rangements in due time to have
their seats reserved. Look out
for particulars next week.

aiid entertainments will be as fol
lows : Monteville Flowers , Mon
day evening , July 11 ; Hon. Frank
Nelson , Monday evening , July 25 ;
