territory tributary to Keokuk. Essen
TALLY local in its immediate manage
ment, yet it was organized and is
maintain for the pleasure, entertain
ment and destruction of the people
from here and Van Buren, county,
Iowa, and Clark county, Mo. It's al
|rectory has always shown men from
the country and adjoining counties.
This year again the president, Joseph

mly. This chautauqua is backed by
over two hundred stockholders widely
scattered over the three counties.
Each year new names have been add

movement has outgrown Pennington
and become tri-county institution.
Every year people come from far
and near and spend ten days at An
derson park. Some visit among
friends, others camp out beneath the
shades of the beautiful park trees.
The chautauqua grounds are only six
blocks from the postoffice and COM
mand full view of the beautiful Des
Moines river bluffs. During the as
sembly, nearly a hundred tents are
pitched throughout the park and hum
dreds of people spend the entire sea-

in chautauqua crowd. There people
flock for instruction and recreation
Some come only to hear the big head
| liners" like Bryan, Cummins, La Fol
lette and Billy Sunday but those who
attend every day and listen to such
men as Adrian M. Newens, DR.. Nc

son, Father Nugent, Father DAILY
George L. McNutt, Thomas Brooks
Fletcher, Lou Beauchamp, Judge
Lindsey, Dr. Colledge, John E
4 Gunckle, DIR. Hughes, Colonel Balm
Opie Read and ]. Adam Bede, find the
greatest profit and pleasure anon;
TIE lesser lights" of the lecture plat
form. The really great lecturers, tn,
men and women with real messages
and not a grouch-those whom tn,
people really appreciate the most, ar,
those who fill in between big days
These are the instructors who are al
ways "on the job do not exact exor
bitant prices for their stories, and d
not disappear from the platform Xix
the big ones who depend upon thei
notoriety or their political prominenc
to win them favor.
For the 1910 assembly Farmingtol
offers, DR.. Richard G. Hughes, pres
dent of Rippon college, as platform
manager. DIR. Hughes is not an ana
teur-he is scholar and a thiake
who does things. He is really an III
usual man. Dr. Gunsaules discovere
him and recommends him to thos
| who want to learn something new
Church-going people cannot afford t
miss his Bible lectures.
Judge George D. Alden for Tuei
, day, August 9, Is an eloquent mar
who deals with vital topics. Tn
views he expresses are the ripe cor
/ illusions of hard-headed lawyer an
, business man.
