'O9 CHAUTAUQUA
OUR CITIZENS MORE INTEREST
ED THAN EVER
The Meeting for Next Summer is
Now An Assured
Fact

This week John Lichty started
out with the intention of settling
the chautauqua question for Falls
City for 1909. His aim was to
sell $50 shares at SIS each, and
his success has been beyond his
expectations. AT the time of 60
ing to press he informs us he has
disposed of 239 shares to sixty
five of our people, and by Satur-
day night feels sure he will have
sold the entire amount. OF the
239 shares twenty-seven persons
have taken five, thirty-three have
taken three and five have taken
one.
A meeting of those interested
has been called for Tuesday even
ing, December 8. at the Office of
Judge Gagnon, and it is earnest
ly requested that there be a good
attendance. Mr.Lichty has spent
much time and labor in getting
this movement started. and all
that is needed now TO make it a
success is the hearty cooperation
of every body, which we feel safe
in saying will be forthcoming.
You can at least attend the meet
ing on Tuesday evening and thus
show by your presence that you
are in hearty accord with the
movement. Mr.. Lichty says we
will have the biggest and best
chautauqua ever held, and with a
few to push there is no reason
why this should not prove true.
Be sure and be on hand Tuesday
evening.

WENT TO TEXAS
Many Homeseekers Left Monday
Might For Texas

You may talk about busy times
and busy places but the busiest
place we have seen in long time,
was at Whitaker Bros. Office Mon
day afternoon and night while
they, assisted by j. B. Warner,
were preparing, dating, delivering
and collecting for big bunch of
homeseekers tickets,via M. P. and
Santa Fe r. r.. from Falls City
to Canyon City, Texas, sold to
about thirty of Richardson coun
ty's prosperous farmers.
Whitaker Bros. always make
good their promises. In accord
ance with their promise special
private Pullman sleeping car was
placed on the side track at the M.
p. station at three p. m. Monday
ready to be occupied by the hold
ers of the tickets. When the hour
arrived, the several members of
the jolly crowd wended their way
toward the station in search of
"our car which they easily
found and were soon fast asleep
in their comfortable berths.
|. B. Whitaker, of the firm
of Whitaker Bros, and A. Il.
Rife, of the Rife Land Co., of
Canyon City, Texas accompanied
the crowd. Agent Warner says
this was the largest homeseeker
excursion crowd that ever left
here over his line.

The Belle of The Ball

There we're brides at the dance
given by the Elks the other even
ing, and very pretty brides they
were in their wedding dresses.
There were misses there to, and
Falls City girls are the best look
ers on earth. There were ma
irons, handsome matrons, adding
dignity as we'll as beauty to the
scene. But the belle of the ball
was Helen Ruth Reneker, the
littlest girl Of all. who toddled
and bowed and danced her way
into the hearts of everyone, and
who was the center of great at
traction until the sand man came
and made the little eyes SO heavy
that she was whisked away to
the good home she found waiting
her when she came across the

Stop 1t

The city authorities should
stop the use of our side walks on
stone street for a fish market.
The local markets pay an occu-
patton tax to conduct this busi-
ness in a Legitimate way and
should not be compelled to COM
pete with sidewalk fish mongers.
More than that the use of the
sidewalks for such purposes are
both illegal and disgusting.

The County Chairman

The theater goers were given a
treat Friday night when they wit
messed "The County Chairman |"
at the Gehling. 1t was by far the
best which Manager Gehling has
given us this season. Wm. Chat

was a typical politician and por-
trayed the character true to life.
There was a large east and each
was good in his respective role.

To The General Public

A request has been sent in, by
a number of our citizens, to the
management of the Baptist ben
eft recital, asking to have it
repeated. The ladies desire to
say that under existing circum-

amusements ahead, by other
denominations, they prefer no
to repeat it, but sincerely thank
the kind friends for their ap-
preciative encouragement.

You Are Your Brothers Keeper

You who have plenty, whose
homes are warm and cheerful,
whose families are warmly clad
and we'll nourished, what did you
do towards ameliorating the condi-
ton of your less fortunate brother
on Thanksgiving? There will be
little children who will not enjoy a
Christmas dinner If some Falls
City people do not provide it..
There are little fellows in this
town who will believe that Santa
Claus is a cruel, selfish, secluslve
old Saint if some one doesn't look
into the matter. If Sam Marts or
Humane Officer Hershey or any
one else will furnish the Tribune
with the names of our deserving
poor we will gladl y take the matter
up and see if all of Falls City can
not enjoy merry Christmas
