OF THE CHAUTAUQUA
The Pennington Chautauqua Begins
August lSth-SOme Of the Best Tai
ent Of the Redpnth Bureau on Pro-
gram---Tickets Now S1.50.

As many as twenty of the business
men Of Pennington got behind the
movement to have a Chautauqua here
this season. This is characteristic
Of the constant endeavor of the pro-
grcssive citizens Of our town. A good
Chautauqua is Of untold value; its
benefits are not measured in dollars
and cents, but in the enrichment Of
the lives of the citizenship. and the
inspiration that may ccmc to one and
all for higher and nobcr things. A
good Chautauqua will leave a lasting
influence on community. II brings
to the very doors of the people Of the
rural and out Of the way places the
most cultured and refined, the best
and most talented in the arts and
sciences. And, here, is matter for
self congratulation on the part of
Farmingtonians; the Rcdpath-Vaw-
ter System Of Chautauquas controls
probably the very best talent on the
chautauqua platform to day, and will
therefore place before our people
some Of these performers. The very
first and opening day will be worth
the price of an entire season ticket.
1t is said that the "Chautauqua Six"
is a scxtette of talented and hand
some young ladies that crowd into
their program some Of the clevcrest
"stunts" imaginable, and succeed in
arousing no end Of enthusiasm. They
are splendid singers and are equally
az hgV,an s.4ttl, thatt. r,,rat.,.l tV,r
ments. They put Enterprise into their
work and keep things going at II lively
clip from the first note. They win
give the prelude on the afternoon of
the first day, and the whole program
in the evening. BE sure and hear
these opening ubers, for they are
worth the price Of a season ticket,
and will set tEy pace for the entire
ChautauTua.
II must be remembered that before
the ChautRuqua opens the price of a
season ticket is just Sl,50, but after
the opening, the price will be advanc-
ed TO $500. Save the fifty cents and
buy your tickets now. This Is also
TO be kept In mind, that the tickets
sold previous TO the opening are count
ed on the guarantee made by the 20
business men Of Pennington. If you
get your ticket before the opening
you win help out the merchants on
! their guarantee.
