WHAT CAN THE MATTER BE?

Is Paw Paw retrogradng it's literary and educational
tastes? Has had enough of lectures and classical

literary ethargy?
We remember when it easy matter put a
lecture PawPaw Everybody bought tickets and the
sale of single tickets the door, than paid for the Opera
House and advertising Every for the past five six
years however has been little harder than the preceding
to make of lecture The committee last
had pretty hard Shedding and the individual members of the
mittee made deficit at the close This the ladies of the
Cotere decided to take hold of the provide
If make of such project it is
the ladies' The committee in charge this have literally
worked their heads off, to make financially of
splendid provided and with what resua bigger deficit
at the close than before The ladies surely
blame the Lord knows that they have done the they
do What then is the matter? People who always bought
tickets in the past this passed Couldn't be coaxed
for love Not only did the sale of tickets fall
the requisite number but the sale of single
the door has amounted to practically nothing Again ask
what is the matter? 1t just possible that people enough
of that kind of entertainment during the Chautauqua would
seem however that good lecture during the winter
months is practically indispensable progressive community
like Paw Paw but thing certain In face the luke
cooperation given by the people of Paw Paw during past
