The Chautauqaa?


The promoters of the South Missis-
-sippi Chautauqua have demonstrated
their capacity for occurring the best tai
ent and the best attractions, and for
the executive administration of an en-
tertainment and educational en-
terrrise which is decided
credit to the growing city of Hatties-
burg-and it now behooves every well
wisher of the city to show his. appre-
citation by assisting in every possible
manner to make 1t financial success.
sSssasJisy6y expects to make a dollar
out of the Chautauqua. On the con-
trary, those who fathered the move
ment and have given literally of val
liable time and energy to the promo
ton OF the enterprise will b. salts
fed with actual expenses for this the
first season.
Hattiesburg has grown so rapidly
that little time has thus far been
spared to the task OF providing enter
tainment and amusement, and even
purely educational work has been re-
tarded by spirit of painful indif-
ference.
The Daily News isn't roasting any
body, mind you. On the contrary the
paper is proud of the splendid achieve
ments of Hattiesburg and Hattiesburg-
ans along commercial and industrial
lines.
But the time is arrived when Hat
tiesburg must provide places Of amuse-
ment and entertainment, and the very
hest time to begin the work is NOW.
There is no form of entertainment
more elevating and edifying than a
well-regulated Chautauqua, such as
the promoters of this enterprise hope
to make a permanent annual feature
in Hattiesburg, and it should be liber-
ally patronized by those who have the
best interests of the city at heart.
The establishment of permanent
Chautauqua will mean the extension
of the street railway system to the
springs, the erection of park, an
auditorium and other things-and the
logical consequence will be the organ
ization of a fair association for the
purpose of developing and encouraging
agriculture in the vicinity of Hatties-
burg. 1t will mean many other things,
the nature of which it is unnecessary
to mention, but which will become
potential factors in the moral, mate
rial, and even industrial development
of this marvellous Magic City.
Boost the Chautauqua.

Charles Newell, now Rotund Police
Man, Once Circus Acrobat.
One day in the spring of 1881 heav-
lily muscled lad who had worked in a
mill approached Peter Sells, one of
the owners of the Sells circus, and
said:
81 want to join your show. I'm an
acrobat"
The applicant didn't look like an ac-
robat. Rather, he appeared to be a
workman accustomed to hard manual
labor.
What can you do?" the Snowman
asked.
I'll show you," he said, IF you'll
give me a chance"
In due time the mill hand was given
the chance. He went hand-over-hand
up rope, swung to trapeze, bal
anced himself away up ON the dizzy
height and sprang. into space. His
strong hand closed over cross bar
he made an air spring, and landed
lightly on the ground.
60 on" Mr.. Sells said. "a
For half an hour the applicant went
through weird performances. To other
ambitious acrobats appeared. The
three knew each other. Together they
did series of acts. When they had
completed their turn, Mr.. Sells said:
'I'll pay you $s5 week to do that
stunt in my circus"
We're on" the mill hand replied.
That young man was Charles New
ell, now the crossing policeman al

now man Of 200.

him for circus engagement were
