A GRAND SUCCESS After two years of rest the Hardscrable Literary Society is again active with all of its ancient splendor. Those who attended the meeting on Friday evening Jan. 6th. were entertained with a program both interesting and instructive. The question for debate was, "Resolved that there is more knowledge gained from reading than from travel." The debaters for the affirmitive were Mr. John Martin. Willis Wright and Loyd Kerns, and those for the negative were, Wm. Eames, Tom Wright and John Wright The decision was given favor of the negative. Those who took part in the dialogue deserve a compliment. Among the other entertaining parts of the program was the song rendered by the Martin Brothers, and also the poem, "Over The Hills to the Poorhouse" which was given admir ably by Willis Wright. The next meeting will be held on Fri day evening, Jan, 19th. and the question for debate is, "Woman Sufforage." After the debate will follow many entertaining features too numerous to mention. All are urged to attend. It is too good to miss, for there you will hear questions propounded with the wisdom of Solomon, and declamations given that would rival the bower of Antony. W. M.
