May Erect Monument to Audubon.

It is more than likely that at some
time in the near future monument
will be erected in the city park to the
memory of John j. Audubon, the nat
uralist, after whom the county and town
of Audubon were named.
The matter came about last Thurs
day evening when DR.. Frank w. Gun.
saulus, the famous lecturer who APP
peared at the Chautauqua, learned that
our thriving little city was named after
the world renowned naturalist. John j.
Audubon. Mr.. Audubon was in this
section Of Iowa in the late 4O's and had
his camp on the Gill farm adjoining
Hamlin, and what was then known as
Highland Grove.
DR.. Gunsaulus made the announce
ment from the platform that he would
gladly donate 800 towards the erection
of a suitable memorial to be placed near
the new library building in the city
park, provided the citizens would raise
5000. Later he made proposition that
he would pay for bronze medallion, if
the county would pay for a suitable
stone into which the medallion could be
set, and would also come to Audubon,
at his own expense, to dedicate the
monument.
DR.. Gunsaulus met q number of the
citizens the next morning and was as
sured by them that steps would be taken
towards accepting his proposition. It is
the intention Of the promoters to bring
tho matter before the Commercial Club
at an early date at which time q com.
mittee will be appointed to confer with
DR.. Gunsaulus regarding the matter.
The erection of this monument will
be great thing for Audubon county
and something in which every citizen
Of the county should be interested. We
hope to be able to give more definite
news regarding this movement in the
next issue Of The Republican.

to be the greatest lecture now being
given from the Chautauqua platform.
Bishop Anderson is scholarly and elo-
quent. He has pleasing personality
and is eargerly heard. Vesper services
followed the lecture. The Boston Lyrics
furnished the music for the day. This
trio of musicians might find favor in
the eyes of the Bostonians but out here
among corn-fed Iowans their music was
not appreciated. They greatly disap-
pointed the people and were considered
in the same class with Adair.
Sunday evening came the happy
Alton Packard, the cartoonist. He ap-
peared to be at his best. For two hours
he lectured and painted pictures with
his crayon. Packard is most interest.
ing character and always leaves an
audience wanting more. People do not
seem to tire of Alton Packard.
Monday was the closing day, and was
appreciated by the business men
of the town more than any
other day of the entire week
1t was a day for meeting Nelson S.
Darling, of Oklahoma City. He is a
business man and booster. He talked
to the Commercial Club at the opera
house in the morning. If his advice
were followed out the farmer and mer-
chant would be on better and closer
terms. They would understand each
other, and work together for the better,
ment of the community.
Darling is practical man and knows
how to club the mail order houses and
the Larkin clubs. He is not man OF
theory, but man of practice. He tells
you how it can be done. Every bust
ness man in Audubon has a warm spot
in his heart for Darling. His lecture in
the afternoon was splendid and i'm.
mensely enjoyed.

Chautauqua Assured For Next Year.

Audubon is assured of another Chau.
tauqua for 1918. Citizens and business
men to the number of "A signed articles
of agreement for 700 season tickets to
be sold at - each. Pledge cards were
passed through the audience at the
Chautauqua Monday, afternoon and
evening and the good boosters of Au-
dubon and vicinity subscribed for $40
of them. The splendid advance sale
proves that our good people believe in a
Chautauqua. The remaining tickets
will be easily sold When the 200 tick
cts are disposed of the price of the sea-
son tickets will advance to $3.50 and
can only be purchased from the Chau-
tauqua people after the Chautauqua
opens. s-.
The manager, Keith Vawter, met the
business men Saturday night and told
them Audubon was not a money max
ing proposition and he was opposed to
coming again. After sharp tilt, be-
tween Mr.. Vawter and some of our
business men, Mr.. Vawter made the
business men the proposition that was
finally accepted. Next year we all ex-
pect to do more boosting and the man
agement will put on still better pro-
gram with the hope that Audubon will
become paying proposition. We have
faith in the people of Audubon and
vicinity and believe that in another
year we can make the Chautauqua of
1913 the biggest and best ever.
