Missing a (i«od Thing.
It occurs to the News that the
citizens of Pond Creek are losing a
mighty good thing by not having
a lecture course for this winter.
Several representatives of good
lyceum courses have been here, but we
have heard of no engagement as yet.
A good lecture course is undoubtedly
the best entertainment a city can se-
cure, and we believe steps should yet
: be taken to get one for Pond Creek. —

Mrs. T. T. Godfrey Dead.
The pioneers of .Medford and vicinity
were inexpressibly saddened by the
news that another of their number h.ui
passed to the great beyond. Mrs.
T. Godfrey died at the home of

citizens.

quent speech, completely refuting the
arguments of the Democrats in their
opposition to his candidacy. It was a
dignified, manly appeal to the better
sense and and spirit of his hearers
and devoid of all misrepresentation
and abuse that has characterized sev

position speakers. His remarks were
frequently applauded. Congressman
McGuire has made a magnificent cam-

From Medford he went to Pond Creek
