THERE is committee of gentlemen
interested in establishing a Southern
Chautauqua, and several southern
cities are fully alive to the immense
Importance of securing it's location.
The Northern Chautanqua is an
immense success, and there is no
reason whatever why o southern
one should not be, on the contrary,
there is every reason why it should
be. Now why should not Rugby put
in claim for consideration? Most
admirably situated as it is, equi-
distant between the North and
South, it commands the whole
country. It's scenery is all that can
be desired, and it's air and climate
perfect. A movement of colonists
inaugurated with spirit, and backed
strongly by the Board, who could
well afford to give the necessary
land for the building of the required
house accommodation, ETC., could
not be passed unnoticed by the
committee. The probable summer
incoming of visitors would be num-
bered by many thousands. Accord
ing to the advantages we could give
would be the chances of securing the
Southern Chautauqua for Rugby.
