Chautauqua Next Week

The chautauqua commen ces
here next Wednesday.
You know what that means.
The chautauqua is educational
and entertaining. If you want
to enjoy an afternoon or evening,
you can.

qua however if he comes in a
critical frame of mind-to CON-
pare it with other chautauquas
whose programs cost thousands
of dollars.
This is $3.50 chautauqua and
is worth the money. 1t repre-
sents labor on the part of the
hackers and heavy responsibility
and effort to get something here
for your benefit and entertain
ment.
Don't get your back up and
bear down but bend your back
and get under the load. Boost
the chautauququa for a good
thing. Come across, buy your
tickets and attend. Be a bull,
not bear, on the chautauqua
enterprise.
1t is a program of entertain
ments at IL 1-2 cents per enter
ment. You can't and won't get
such entertainment here again
soon for the price. This is not
their chautauqua but our chau-
tauqua. Let us live up to the
facts.

the alleged ball team from the
village of Atlanta, a cross roads

courtesies further than two runs
Sunday. For a nine as good as
the Salisbury aggregation to
play such a team as had the tenn

counted for only on theory of
professional courtesy, not that
it would interest spectators, af-
ford practice for the home team
or add any laurels.

Elks At MOberIy

Tuesday was big day for the
Elks meeting at Moberly, all
sorts of entertainments having
been provided for the visitors,
including horse racing, running,
trotting and pacing, motorcycle
and auto races, mule race which
was the liveliest on record with
9 entries and all sorts of mules.
The big event was the draw
ing for the 1916 Buick six which
took place in the ring in front of
the grand stand at the fair
grounds. Four bankers looked
after the drawing, 25 numbers
being drawn from the wheel
the twenty fifth being the
winner which was number 1852,
held by Henry Barton, a machin-
ist at the Wabash shops.
Moberly is trying to raise
$40, 900 to entertain the Elks at
that city next year and every
prospect for doing so. What
Moberly can't and don't do on
big scale is useless for any other
city of the size to undertake.

!. When his wife and

was sitting. When his wife and
neighbors discovered him, he
was hanging alongside the body
Of the tree, his feet about twelve
inches from the ground and con-
cealed to above the knees by the
high grass and weeds, and dead.
His neck was not broken and ex-
cept for the marks of the links
of the chain on his neck
and a slight swelling of
the neck he was not in the least
disfgured.
Coroner DR.. Tatum arrived at
the home about 7:30 p. m. to-
gether with DR.. ZiIlman, C. F.
Lamkin, Prof. j. W. Taylor and
E. B. Kellogg in the DR.. Zillman
car, and while the coroner and
Constable Clarence McCurry en-
panelled a jury from the neigh
bors assembled, at the direction
of the coroner DR.. Zillman made
an examination of the body. The
testimony of the witnesses ex-
amined clearly established that
Pat Courtney hanged himself
with suicidal intent and that he
was mentally unbalanced for
some time before the act, and
the jury returned a verdict in
accordance with the facts.
George h. Courtney was the
son of Doc Courtney, the entire
family being well known in this
community for years. About Is
years ago, he married Alice Hor-
ton, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Steven Horton, and in addition
to his widow, he leaves a son 13
years old, one daughter 10 and
another daughter 4 years of age,
to meet lifes struggle alone.
Pat Courtney had a nice 120
acre farm, a cozy and well fur
nished cottage house. all the
farm buildings necessary, a lot
of all kinds of live stock and an
excellent crop of every kind, his
wheat and oats being 4 in shock
and his corn clean and far ad-
yanced, and he owed so little
that the sale Of one good horse
would have cleared him of debt,
all of which makes the mystery
of his determination to end his
life at the age of 81 a puzzle
which no one can solve.
He was inferred at the Parks
cemetery Sunday, the entire
community turning out to the
funeral of their neighbor who
was distinguished for strict at
tention to his own affairs and
meddling with the business of
none.
