Those who failed to attend the lec
ture given iu tbe Christian cburoh
Tuesday evening, (and their name was
legion) missed an intellectual treat tbe
like of which is rarely given an and
ienoe in this oity. Dr. Dorris is a
man of unusual intellectual power and
ability as a platform lecturer, and his
snbjeot, "Man in the Brightest Lime
light," was ably handled. It is hoped
that should another such attraction
appear in the city, it will be given
better patronage. Athfna people are
certainly defrauding themselves when
they fail to take advantage of the few
opportunities of hearing a really
worthy lecture.
There is no truth in the report that
Col. Wood tried to "oopswallow" the
price of his admission fee at the
bloomer girl call game, Saturday.
Her majesty, tbe boss bloomer girl,;
detected an elderly gentleman , using
an automobile as a shield of protection,
to slide by without producing. -Thai
bloomer lady gave vent to righteous
indignaton and her strenuous tones of
reproach attraoted considerable notioe
from tbe assemblage. Unluckily, Col.
Wood happened to be in the vicinity
of tbe aforesaid voioe, and in tbe con
fusion tbe rumor originated that it
was the Colonel on whom tbe lippy
gantling spouter bad turned ber
wordy speil of accusations. No; tbe
Colonel may have shortcomings, but
the Press will affirm that be always
pays bis way.
