Its rather a hard proposition for any place twice our size in this ttat to beat our people to a thing." ThU going over the top business seems to hare be- come a fixed habit with us. This it our fifth year of Chau tauqua and the four previous years our guarantors had to dig down in their jeana on the first day and ante up their part of a deficit Then, too, there was for a year or two some little trouble experienced in securing tlje desired number of signers for the next year, but not so this year. The guarantors met in the Msyor'k office Tuesday at 1:30 and after making the acquaint ance of the superintendent, Dr. Wm. E. Bohn. and his assistants, Miss Margaret Shannon, of Chi- cairo, Junior Leader, and Hue Lulu Volpell, of Storgea, Mkh., asked for a 1920 contract and proceeded to sign up. After signing up for 1920, they then got busy in various groups and sold tickets enough to place our ticket fund up to $1,854.00. THE PROGRAM Chautauqua opened Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 with a lecture by Dr. Bohn, the superintendent Dr. Bohn spoke on the League of Nations and his lecture showed that he had given his subject much thought Pietro Mordelia Company fol lowed Dr. Bohn with a musical concert that indeed, pleas ed their audience. Pietro with his piano accordion and Miss Golding as violinist carried their audience with them easily. Mr. Mordelia delighted the little folk with some comedy piano playing. Miss Buck, the piano accom panist was very good. 'Wednes day evening Pietro Mordelia Com pany gave their second concert and Chancellor Bradford of the . University vt Oklahoma, deliver ed a strong lecture, his subject being "Suncrowned Manhood." Chancellor Bradford handled hia subject well and made a strong plea to the young people to pre pare themselves to take care of the big things of the future. Tuesday afternoon Dr. Bohn continued his discussion of the League of Nations and the Over seas Quartette gave a concert The boys seemed to have had an of! day and rather disappointed their audiences. At night Ross Crane lectured on' "Dollars and Sense for Your Town." His lec ture dealt with civic art, city planning, etc. Mr. Crane is head of the Extension Department of. the Art Institute of Chicago. ' Tonight the great American drama, Polly of the Circus, will be given by a full cast Tomorrow night Frederick William Wile, the big man of the Chantauqua thia year will lecture. Speaking of Mr. Wile the Goldsburo Argus has this to say: 'The lecturer of the evening was easily, without Invidious comparison -the most versatile, entertaining and instructive ' speaker who has thus far appear-! ed on this Chautauqua's program, Mr. Frederick William Wile, the well known newspaper man and 'author, for many years attached to the editorial staff of Lord Northcliffe's journals In, London, England. "The subject of his matchless ; lecture was entitled 'John Bull and Uncle Sam and in Ua mar- velous and comprehensive devel opment of the field it coven he proved himself a walking univer sity, and his lecture was nothing short of a liberal education, and nothing could be more timely.

Caar For the fir time in trje h tory of Chautauqua lane the guarantors went over the top b the sale of tickets $1,854.00 worth being sold. It is needless to say that thia almost wonder ful achievement was due to the untiring efforts of the Chairman of the ticket selling committee and his co workers. The above amount represents the actual sale of tickets, as there were no donations made to the ticket selling committee. We asked thia exceedingly modest anfl very busy man How he managed to make such a rec ord.

This enviable record was the result of the untiring efforts of the worthy matron and the com mittee and the liberal support of the people of the community. Roanoke Chapter number 119, was signally honored for her record by the election of Mrs. Peck as Grand Conductress of the order irt the State. Usually the officers of the Grand Chapter are elected in rotation but in this case precedents were smashed. Mrs. Peck was also elected as District Deputy of the Third District PRUDEN VINCENT The marriage of Mr. William Anthony Vincent and Miss Mary Inet Pruden Tuesday of this week was quite a surprise to many of their friends here.
