Our trip to Alaska was a very pleas-
ant one. It was the flint experience

QOV. BOB TAYLOR COMINQ.
This Famous Lectarer Will Vtelt Λ«χβ·
hachie February ZZad.
It will no doabt be gratifying new·
to the people of Waxhachie and sur-
rounding country to koow that Gov.
Bob Taylor will lecture In this city on
next Saturday night. The lecture j
will be delivered in the College of
Music ball and Gov Taylor will be j
assisted by a male trio of vocalists and ;
the Wise Orchestra. Beats for this1
attraction will be on sale tomorrow at j
Femrie' drag store price $1.00 eacti.
Gov. Taylor is probably one of the I
greatest orators now touring the
country and aside from his eloquence j
he clothes his thoughts in the most j
beautiful and chaste iaguage. Read
his description of the dawn an ex-
tract from one of his lectures:
"1 saw the morning with purple
quiver and bnrniehed bow stand t p-
toe on the horizon and shoot sun-
beams at the vanishing darkness of
night and then reach up and gather
the stars and hide them in her b jsom ;
then bend down and tickle the slum
bering world with straws of light till '
it woke with langhter and song. A
thousand bugle caiis from the rosy
tires of ihe east heralded her coming;
& thousand smiling meadows kissed
ber garments as she passed and ten
thousand laughing gardens unfurled
Lbeir flower flags 10 her. The heart
of the deep forest throbbed a tribute
of bird song and the bright waters
rippled a melody of welcome. Young j
ife and love radiant with joy came
band to hand tripping and dancing in
aer shining train and I wished the
b aven cf the morning might last for-
ever!"
