Noted New York Speaker, With Van

fractions of Unusual Merit.

Do you realize that another Chautau
qua will soon open in Paw Paw Such
is the fact however, and il the pre-
liminary arrangements and quality oi
the talent already announced can be
taken as a criterion, this will be the
greatest and best OF the Chautauquas
yet held in Paw Paw.
The citizens should wake up to the
fact that this event is nearly here
Everyone wants a Chautauqua. 1t is
one Of the greatest institutions for
entertainment, education and recreation
that has ever been brought to any
people. The Chautauqua management
have duty to perform and so has the
public. 1t is up to the management to
make satisfactory preliminary arrange
ments for the comfort and enjoyment OF
the patrons, and provide as good pro-
gram as it is possible to get. This has
all been done. 1t is now up to the
public to do it's part. Without en-
thusiastic boosting and encouragement
the Chautauquas in Paw Paw will
soon be thing OF the past.
Attention is called in this issue to the
program as outlined on this page in
another column: 1t is not quite COM
plete vet, but nearly so. No better
talent was ever offered on any Chautau-
qua program. 1t should be a literary
and musical treatment for all the people
for miles around. Enthuse a little with
the Chautauqua spirit Wake up to
the advantages offered. Talk it with
your family and with your neighbors
Arrange your work so that you can
attend as manv sessions as possible.
Buy your tickets early and let's show
the management this year that the
Chautauqua is to be permanent fixture
for Paw Paw.
1t is generally supposed that the first
days program is to be the weakest in
the list. Just the opposite is the case
this year as peru5a of the talent for
the various days will indicate, and the
first day is to be one of the strongest
and best of the entire eight days.
In the afternoon OF the first day the
prelude is to be given by the Van
Buskirk Concert company, and the
lecture by DR.. John Wesley Hill of New
York City. DR.. Hill is pastor Of the
Metropolitan Temple Of New York City.
and is without question one OF the great
public speakers in the United States.
He is a man OF strong and unusual
personality, and man Of wide ex-
perience. His reputation is inter.
national. Several Paw Paw people
heard Dr. Hill at Grand Rapids at the
Lincoln Club banquet last year, when
he was the star speaker OF that function.
They can all vouch for the ability Of
this noted speaker.
In the evening of the first day Van
Buskirks Concert Company will furnish
the entire program. Miss Van Buskirk
as a Paw Paw lady, and musical artist
of culture and ability. She has
organized a company of artists for this
occasion, aud the patrons of the Chau-
ta1qua can be assured a rare musical
treat indeed on the first day. People OF
Paw Paw and vicinity are justly proud
of the accomplishmen OF this talented
lady, and she should be given a rousing
reception on this occasion. Don't forget
then that the first day of the Chautau-
qua is to be one of the best of the entire
eight days. You can hear no better
speaker anywhere than DR.. Hill and
the music will be all and more than is
anticipated Be sure to take in the first
day.
