A most appalling crime was com mitted near Sturdivant's store on Monday evening when John F. Col bert shot and killed his wile, Pollle Colbert, with a single barrel shot gun, while on a drunken spree, in the presence ol two ol their children at about 6.;!0 o'clock. According to the evidence before the Coroner's InqueBt it seems that Colbert has been bad to his iamily for quite a while and that on laBt Friday he ran his wife away from home. On Sunday evening he sent for his wife telling her that their little boy wan sick and she returned home. On Monday evening Mrs. Colbert had gone out to the lot to pull some weeds for a pig. In the mean time Colbert got his gun and" started out telling his son in answer to a ques tion that he was going to kill him a rabbit. He went out of the house and started towards the lot. Mrs. Colbert seeing him and evidently fearing trouble started for the house by an other route that would place a barn between she and her husband. Col bert seeing this stopped and waited fcr her to come from behind the barn when he raised the gun and fired di rectly at her, the load taking effect in her back and left side, and producing burg College] Will Accommodate 100 Students. Plana have been completed for the now Pattle Julia Wrigijt Memorial | Lurmitory at Louisburg College. This building, made possible by the gift of Richard H. Wright, of Durham, of $50,000 in memory of his sister, who was a graduate of the college, will accommodate about 100 students. This will be the first of the group of now buildings to be constructed In connection with the expansion fund p rgram of the college, which is now In the midst of the campaign through ci. the churches of the North Caro rina Conference, to raise a half nil lion dollars for necessary new build ings and edeguate endowment. It 13 now pianned to start construe tion at the earliest possible date and have the building ready for occupan cy with the opening of the new school year In September. CHAUTAUQUA. COMING Only a short time now and our citi zens will have an opportunity to see the programs of the Swarthmore Chautauqua which Is scheduled to give a week of lectures, entertain ment and music in Louisburg. The Chautauqa movement Is now so wide-spread that more people know of Its origin and early history, but it may not be out of place to repeat a tow facts here since we arc so soon to have a Chautauqua, The modern Chautauqua is an out growth of the Lyceum movement fond ed In 1826 by Joslah Holbrook. His first lyceum was organized in answer to the need for an open forum where speakers would be free from limitation of speaking on sectarian and political platforms. Pilling an Important place1 in American social life, the Lyceum has rendered an ever-incre'islng ser vice to democratic progress. The leaders In American political, literary and social life, Lowell, Holmes, Emer son, Garrison, Summer, Phillips, Bcecher, Gough, addressed their ini tial and their largest audience from the lyceum platforms. In time the lyceum programs were further enriched by the addition of high-grade musical and entertain ment numbers which popularized the movement still more. In 1874, at take Chautauqua, New York, Bishop John H. Vincent organized the Chau tauqua Sujiday School . Association which was at first a summer school for religious instruction, but which now Includes the whole field of gener al education for adnlt persons out of school. In Imitation of these summer assemblies at Lake Chautauqua other assemblies like the parent Institution Lave sprung up over the country. They have, however, fewer of the study groups and more of the musical and qntertajjument features. They vusally last for a week or more, and lectures, concerts and entertainments are given daily. They are called Chautauqua because j they are like the summer assembly at Lake Chatauqua. They embody the best and most popular features of both Chautauqua and Lyceum. The coet of school an Independent ClAutauqua la so great, however, that comparatively few comm:in.ties could afford to support It. Hence the origin of tho circuit Chautauqua about fifteen years ago. A central organization pur rhaes all equipment for the erection of a huge tent auditorium, engages the lecturers, musicians aud enter tainers, and In co-operation with a community committee conducts a Chautauqua In a town for a fraction of what an Independent Chautauqua would cost , Their popularity Is best shown by their growth and permanency. C'jau tauqua la now an established Institu tion in several thousand towns in the I'nlted States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The sessions of the Chautauqua will begin here Monday, June 22nd., and many of our prominent cltlsens, who are guarantors, are already laying their plana for a successful campaign. | 1 B. V. F. U.
