Show "Brick" Pomeroy's Lecture. M. M., better and more widely known ''Brick," Pomeroy, edi-.orof Pomeroyt Democrat, New York City, and the La Crotse Democrat, La Crosse, Wis., who is spending a couple of weeks irj this city with a view to extensively writing on its resource:-, location and the peculiarities as to soil, climate, Church and State, has consented, in ; re.-ponse to a generally expressed wish of the best citizens of the place, to lec-1 ture to-night in the old Tabernacle on the subject of Success, in which he proposes to tell people how to make money, how to make men of themselves, them-selves, to prove their greatness, and to live to such purpose that they will be respected of others. Our eastern exchanges speak in unusually un-usually flattering terms of this lecture, which is one outside of any party, political or religious theory, tracing broad truths, as the well-known editor, author and lecturer says he stands upon a broad and far-reaching platform, plat-form, haviDg truth for its foundation and justice for its boundaries. From the Omaha papers we learn that the lecture is one that all classes should listen to, and that it contains salient truths, expressed in a plain, earnest, off-hand, convincing way. Thousands of our citizens have a curiosity curi-osity to hear this self-made man who began life poor and who has, even in times of national trouble, by following his own rules and living up to his own ideas, made for himself the name he has and worked his way from carrying carry-ing newspapers in a country village to the position of editor and proprietor of a newspaper numbering at the present pres-ent time nearly a quarter million of subscribers. sub-scribers. This, of itself, is a success one few persons reach; and if Mr. Pomeroy's ideas, plans and theories, will work such good to one man they should prove a benefit to others. There will undoubtedly be a large audience au-dience to see and hear the gentleman. |
