CHAUTAUQUA TICKETS
ARE GOING FAST.

Reports from various concerns
where chautauqua tickets are on
sale would indicate that ticket
sales are getting good. When
the present supply OF season
tickets are exhausted, the folks
who failed to get "theirn" are
going to have to plank down the
advanced rate, making it cost a
bout "a to attend the whole Sc
ries of entertainments. Even If
the remainder of the season tick
cts are not sold, they will go TO
$3.50 each next week. Better
buy now while you can get them
for 81, as the supply is limited.
The Courier still has few on
hand-but first come, first
served.
