The great merit of the Cyclope-

combination of Unabridged Dic-

hands invariably renews the sur-

as sec-
retary. With the names of these
gentlemen at the head of the so-
ciety is enough to insure it the
success that it is. After the so-
ciety was called to order and the
president had made a few re-
marks on punctuality, the first en
the programme was called, Prof.
Ellis responded with a select
reading, it being a selection from
“The Wanderer in Switzerland,”
which was very appropriate and
well received.
Mr. Will Fipps was then called
to give his love experience. Mr.
Fipps is a very dramatic speaker
and r think he would do well to
devote his time in lecturing on
“Matrimonial Disappointments.”
Next on programme was called,
and Misses Mary Crow and Sallie
Robison came forward with a song
entitled “The Step Stone,” and
was exceedingly well executed
and as their sweet voices floated
over the room, Ailing every nook
and corner wj)th its enchanting
melodies, we wondered, if God
over made man to enjoy any thing
more than a woman’s singing.
Next was Mrs. Grumbles with a
recitation entitled “The Inventors
Wife.” It Was a good piece and
well read.
Next camoasongentitled“Tlie

ly excellent, and last but nol
least, catn4 the Debato, Opened

quence fairly held tne audience

He wag followed by Mr. Cal Stew-

remembered by the Wilson.Ghap-
el people.
The next speaker was Mr. G. W.
Scott, the Demosthines of Van
Zandt county, who brought down
the house with bis brilliant ora-
tory, Mr. Scott would de well to
cultivate his oratorical faculties.
The debate was closed by ,W. W.
Berzett and we left Wilson Chapel
wishing them all the success pas-
sible in their society. Wilson
Chapel has certainly taken a
step in the right direction as there
is nothing to our mind more ben-
eficial to a community than a
geod literary society.
