WINGED than ever that every
good and perfect gift TO man is :
of God, and that our beloved
country has been especially and
abnndantly blessed. Here is
the zenith of the glory of man,
and the goodness of Him who
flung out a world into space,
and here man found home.
Such lectures are we'll calcu- !.
lated to make man better and
wiser, and to elevate the char
acter Of the Nation.
We have no doubt but every
man and woman who heard the
lecture in which a comparison
was drawn bel ven the condi-
ton of society in the early his
tory of the ages, and those of
today, but what feel glad they
were present, and also
felt an inward pride that
they live in this Twentieth
Century, and enjoy the grand
ure of this advanced age in all
things great and good, and of
being a citizen If this mighty
Republic that Guarantees to ev-
cry man the right of life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
Such Lectures are priceless,
and its effect, like bread cast
upon the waters, will be gath ~
cred in due season. 49,.
Sunday Evening ~. q
In spite of the threatening
weather a large crowd gather :
ed at the chautauqua grounds,
eager to again hear Maupins
band and toshear Prof. Bryan;
our platform manager. After
a few selections by the band it
began to rain and they were
compelled to- stop on account Of
the instruments. Prof. Bryan,
who has so ably acted as our
platform manager was schedul-
ed to lecture last evening but
on account of the rain, noise
and confusisn he was compelled
to give it up. Mr.. Bryan is to
appear again on Friday even
ing, with Illustrated pictures of
the Panama canal. We know
from past records and from the
efficient way he has handled
our chautauqua that you will
enjoy the lecture as we'll as any
other entertainment during
this chautauqua.
CHAUTAUQUA NOTES
During the heavy rain last
might, Lee Linsley got his feet
washed -accidently.
Over forty automobiles were
ION the chautauqua grounds at
one time Sunday afternoon.
Three extra resi- tents were
put up yesterday for the bene-
fit of visitors and were furnish
ed with chairs ETC., by the I'm.
provement League.
1t was suggested TO thechau-
tauqul management to secure
a rubber tent for nex1 season.
Don't do it, auto tires are high
enough now and the milliner
has to live.
Barrels for refuse and bar
rels of ice water have been put
about the grounds which ads
very materially to the campers
land visitors enjvynent.
Ed Myers, superintendent of
the grounds, dunned us for, our
tent rent this morning. We
rustled around and collected a
few ten years subscriptions,
seven-eigths off for cash, and
paid him.
Our platform manager made
the remark yesterday that our
streets were decorated the best
of any town he was ever in
during chautauqua. He es-
peciaIiy remarked about the
appearance of "Dogtown."
Wonder if someone put him
next.
