CHAUTAUQUA HERE.
Began Yesterday Under Favorable
Conditions. Good Programme. '
When Miss Jean Langston came
here last week, it was with the
determination to put the Chau
tauqua over and get as many peo
ple to attend as possible. The
splendid beginning of the pro
gramme and the splendid attend- .
ance can be attributed largely to
her efforts. She is a woman of
great power and influence and
was of untold benefit in the cause.
The large number to attend at
the beginning proves this asser
tion. Next in line for commendation
are the members of the Blue and
Red teams, selling the tickets.
Those girls deserve all the praise
that they have received. All
worked hard and accomplished
a great deal, and only by their
untiring efforts has the affair
oeen a great success from a fi
nancial point of view. The win-.
ners of the nrizes are nuhlished
in another column.
Now, then, the Chautauqua is
here. It means a crreat deal to
the town and countv and no one
should miss a single performance.
An entertainment of this kind
builds up, stimulates. It helps
us as individual as well as a com
munity. Let everybody go and
gttsome of the stimulating at
mosphere that comes with the
Chautauqua.
