THE CHAUTiUOUA.

There is but one Chautauaua to
South Mississippians and that is loca-
ted in our neighboring town Of Crys-
tai Springs, whittier many footsteps
have turned during the past three
weeks. So persistent and continuous
has been the outpour of passengers
from the daily trains in that city that
the other day the signal was given to
stop, after the engine had pulled out
from the station, because an eagle eyed
hack-driver insisted that everybody
had not gotten off-and they hadn't!
But few had business elsewhere.
There has been larger attendance
than on any previous year; and this
fact is exceedingly gratifying to the
directors of this most commendable
enterprise, who have an earnest desire
to improve and make more attractive
the environments that at present, how
ever, we must admit, are wholly COM
Portable and delightfully."- enjoyable.
If no Southern capitalist will bring
his gifts to this altar of intellectual
enlightenment whereon burn the fires
OF mental, spiritual and physical
health, we hope some pampered friend
to progress and education from some
other cline or country, will choose the
Crystal City place to build for him
self monument more enduring than
marble and more lasting than time.
The enterprise should be fostered and
preserved; and people, generally, in
this part of the State, at least, should
encourage the Chautauqua to the ex-
tent of attendance upon its sessions.
Spending few days under the spell
OF its allurements, we were amply re-
paid for all effort or expense by what
we saw and heard. DR.. Leland's lee
ture, the Mendelssohn Quartette,
Prof. Alba's wonderful pictures, DR.
Haywood's eloquence all bespoke the
high type of talent employed. Prof.
I. L. Trawick, who is the ambitious
Manager of the Assembly, has spared
no means or effort to promote the en-
terprise and We earnestly hope that
the success for which all concerned
have been toiling will ultimately crown
the enterprise that is so fraught with
pleasure and helpfulness to young and
old. We congratulate Crystal Springs
upon its claim to this attraction,
which it, doubtless, proudly fosters.
We would add, "in postscript" as
something that must not be over
looked, and that is really the chief
and most valuable attraction on the
grounds, the beautiful Lake Chautau-
qua, upon whose peaceful surface
glide canoes in moonlight or in sun,
and beneath which the finny tribe,
both bass and trout, with here and
there grailing," glide in unperturbed
sport, until the fsherman's hook
proves temptation irresistible. This
beautiful body of water covers near
fifteen acres of land and is a surprise
to the sight t-seer on his first round.

We note that j. w. Butler and fam
lily, who lived at this place few weeks
and went from here back to their farm
in Amite county, have decided to move
to Texas after having located at Sum-
nit few months, and later at Nc
Comb. We trust it fares we'll with
Bro. Butler, but if this editor owned
as good farm as he does at Leaton,
he wouldn't be leaving for anywhere
with the expectation of greater reward
than the working of good land brings
in this State.

Auditor Cole, to whom the question
was referred, holds that the tools and
instruments of practicing physician
or dentist are not exempt from taxes
the same as those of any other me-
chanic. The law does not place these
professions in the category of workers
whose appliances are not taxed, and
they are not expected to enjoy the i'm
munity. Only the libraries of the pro-
fessions are exempt from taxation.

James W. Bradbury WAS born In Par
sonsfield, June 10, 1909. He was the son
of James and Ann Moulton Bradbury.
He attended the public schools and Cor
ham Academy, and entered the sopho-
more GLASS Of Bowdoin College In 1922,
graduating with high rank in the famous
class of 1926. Among the members OF this
GLASS were Henry w. I4ongfellow, Ma
thaniel Hawthorne, John 5. @. Abbott,
Jonathan Cilley and George B. Cheeyer.
After graduating MIR. Bradbury taught
at Haliowsll Academy one year. He then
studied law with the Hon. Rufus Nc
Iutyre, and also with Hon. Ether Shep-
ley. In 1922 he opsped school for teach
ers at Etiingham, N. H., which is be-
lieved to have been the first normal
school In New England. In 1890 he
opened a law office in Augusta, where he
resided for the remainder of his life. He
soon built up a large practice, which was
not surpassed by any in the state. In
1888 he formed a partnership with Hora-
tio Bsidges, ana In 1S4l he took into
partnership Richard ID. Rice, which con-
tinued until Rics went on the bench In
1859. he afterwards formed copartner-

tinued until Mr.. Merrill was elected to

have defeated 1t. Wnen bills for the or
ganizatio OF the territories acquired by
the treaty wsre introduced, amendments
were adopted by those favoring the abo-
iition Of slavery, prohibiting slavery in
all of them. This was resisted by the
southern members. A compromise bill
was introduced by MIR. Clay, and Mr..
Bradbury acted and voted with the Con-
servatives in the support OF 1t. Mr.. Brad

DON'T
BUY
GLASS G s.

There are good and poor qualities
OF glasses as we'll as in other goods.
The cheapest are the most expensive
In the end. They distoTt the rays or
light, disturb the harmony OF the
nerves and muscles, and do the eyes
q permanent injury. Simply because
some people have been abls to use
cheap glasses all their lives, and still
see, is no argument in their favor.
1t is only because their eyes were re-
markably strong TO start with. The
scientifically fitted glasses which ]
furnish will strengthen and preserve
tha eye, and the many dangers from
eye strain will be abuost entirely
avoided.
