to the front as a live and up-to-
date city. Mr.. Love, Colonel

also promoted a chautauqua that
is second to none IN the country,
and as many as ten thousand
people have assembled on the
grounds at one time. This year
he has listed on the program
such noted personages as Senator
Ben Tillman and the Rev. Sam

noted features. The many Bes-
