Rev. Hall will, at no distant period, deliver a lecture on "Popular Amusements."—(Jan. 31, 1883.)
The literary society will hereafter hold its meetings in Dr. Hayes' hall. The society fully appreciate the privilege of holding its meetings there.—(Jan. 31, 1883.)
Thermometers in this vicinity indicated thirty-seven degrees below zero at one time during our recent cold spell.—(Jan. 31,1883.)
Rev. G. M. Hall delivered a lecture on " Popular Amusements" at the M. E. church Thursday evening. Owing to the bad roads the audience was small. The lecture was splendid, and those who did venture out in the rain and slush to hear it, were well paid. Mr. Hall will lecture on kindred subjects Tuesday and Thursday evenings. We hope he will be favored with large audiences. The discussion of these subjects is particularly interesting to the people of Cambridge and vicinity just now.—(Feb. 21, 1883.)
Some of the young folks of Cambridge spent a very pleasant evening at Robert Richardson's one evening last week.—(February 21, 1883.)
Rev. Hall delivered his third lecture at the M. E. church Tuesday night; subject, " Gleanings from the false and true." The lecture was interesting, but the crowd small. We are sorry to know that negro minstrels and juvenile singers draw larger crowds than a good lecturer. Persons who heard the entire course of lectures feel benefited by them, and are satisfied with Mr. Hall's views, but those persons who heard only one or two lectures did not get a correct idea of Mr. Hall's position on some points.-—(March 7,1883.)
Our town council did a commendable thing at their last meeting; passed an ordinance that the mayor and council should receive no compensation for past or future services. This is a donation to our town of about $350 to $400. The laborer is worthy of his hire. -—(March 7, 1883.)
We understand that our literary society will adjourn sine die, Friday evening. We think this is altogether wrong. There are many school teachers who could not attend our literary society previous to the closing of their schools, but now their schools are out they would gladly attend. There is no good reason why the literary should not continue for at least three months if not all summer.—(March 7, 1883.)
The town council mean business. When they order a sidewalk it is built.—(March 28. 1883.)
An effort is being made to procure funds to build a house in which to hold council meetings and for other public purposes. Levi NELLIS has donated a lot upon which the building is to be put. About $125 have been subscribed with which to buy lumber. This is a move in the right direction.—(March 28, 1883.)
