The ChautauQua

whatever in the Chautauqua that is to be held in this city the first week In July. Its success or failure will effect our personal interests in no
 way more than those of any other citizen. But we are very much in- terested in it, nevertheless, because
 we have attended Chautauqua meet lngs in other enterprising towns in past years, and we have had an oppor- tunity of actually witnessing the great
 benefits that accrue to a community
 where a Chautauqua is held We spent fifteen days few years ago on
 the grounds during a Chautauqua at Shelbyville, Illinois, where we occu- pied large family tent during the
 whole time with our families It was one of the most pleasant and highly entertaining and intellectual treats that we ever lad the good fortune to enjoy People came from hundreds of miles around the town and camped on the grounds. The attractions
 were the best in the several lines that money could secure, and the people were richly benefited in every
 way from seeing and listening to the many fine lectures bands, orchestras, exhibitions, etc, and mingling with the people generally and exchanging views and ideas. A Chautauoua is not only highly entertaining, but it is highly instructive. It is uplifting in every way The five days that are given Us is just the beginning of bet ter things, we hope. We want to see every family in this county come to town and enjoy these meetings | We want to get better acquainted, we want to see our friends enjoy some 1 Of the higher rnd better things of life, and we hope you will talk about it to | your neighbor, and arrange to meet your friends here, and have a good | time, and get the benefits offered you | Don't fall to attend the Chautauaua. The price of a season ticket. which | will admit you to every offering dur ing the whole five days is but sl.5O | You could not spend Sl 50 to any bet ter advantage. There will be at least two sessions daily That is l5c each. | If you do not buy the season ticket in advance, it will cost you more and single admissions will run from 25c up Buy your ticket now. A number of enterprislng gentlemen of this city have guaranteed the sale of 400 tickets. They have no pecuniary interests. They are doing this for your benefit and entertainment.
 Dr. Pelton and Mir. Nathan B Nor ton called upon Mrs. Wm. Dawson, | President of the Cosmos Club, Tues | day, in the interest of the Chautau- qua, which is to be held in this city beginning July lst, with view to en- listing the cooperation of the Cosmos | Club in it's success, and to prevail | upon number of young ladies and girls to undertake the sale of a cer- tain number of season tickets. Mrs. | Dawson expressed her pleasure and | willingness to do what she could in this respect, and a list of the girls l was made up, and they have been asked to take up the work The rls | have consented to do their best, and will begin at once canvass of the city and country and try to sell the number which certain enterprising gentlemen of the city guaranteed the sale-40O, It should be remembered that you can procure season ticket now or any time before the date ofthe ChautauQua, for Sl 50, but if you wait until the first day, 1t will cost you S2.00, and if you don't buy a season ticket, and pay single admissions, it will cost you S320 to see all the shows This enterprise is such a big thing, means so much to our peo- pie, and is in every way so deserving of your patronage and encouragement, that we hope every head. of family, and all the old bachelors, widowers, and everybody else will see that the few men who have secured the Chau- tauqua, will lose nothing There ought to be thousand tickets sold easily.
