The Institute.

The Adair County Institute closed
its session last Friday at the noon
hour. 1t was largely attended
throughout and many interesting
talks we're delivered by visitors, many
of whom were daily in attendance.
Our local Superintendent made no
mistake in employing Prof A. C. Bur-
ton, of the Bowling Green State Nor
NAL, to conduct the institute. He is
an educator of wide reputation, and
he impaired much valuable informa-
ton to the teachers, and If his in
structions are closely followed, every
teacher who was in attendance will be
greatly benefited, and their pupils
more rapidly advanced. Inspiring
music, led by Prof. Joel Darnell, was
rendered at each session, and it de-
Veloped that their were many melo-
dions voices among the teachers
The gathering was complete sue
cess and Superintendent Noah 10y is
to be congratulated.

brothers and sisters.

afternoon by Ed. f. ] Barger, of the

The Chautauqua.

The Community Chautauqua which
entertained here fiom last Wednesday
afternoon up to and including Sunday
night, was all that its advertisements
claimed. and our people and the many
visitors were delighted with the vari.
Gus and high-class programs. So much
so, that contract was signed by quite
a number for the return of the Chau.
tauqua in 1919
Nearly all the exercises were patriot
ic in their nature and there was con-
tinuous cheering throughout the week
Skilled musicians were here, and four
lecturers, men of talent, entertained
daily and nightly.
Mr.. Alexander Cairns came with a
distinct message entitled "Potsdam.
nation" war lecture, a message
from "Uncle Sam" 1t was full of
facts, interspersed with Irish humor,
the speaker having been born of Irish
parents, in Irland He was followed
by Dr.. Robt. Parker Miles, who graphi-
cally told of his travels in Europe,
giving short sketches of the dignatar-
les met while over there. 1t was
scholarly and at times very pathetic.
Miss Hettie Jane Dunaway, a read
er of ability and of pleasing person
atty, gave Daddy Long Legs" Thurs
day evening Those in the audience
who had read the story were loud in
their praise of the talented lady and
with the accuracy in which the story
was given. This piece was we'll worth
the price Of season ticket.
James S. Knox came next with his
lecture, Community Efficiency" He
told how to build up town and he
also had a valuable lesson for the
farming element. His address was
we'll received, and our community
would profit were it to adopt the max
inns laid down.
On Sunday afternoon and evening
DR.. George P. Bible told graphically
of his travels in Europe, having just
returned from the front. He told
how we'll the government of the Unit
ed States was caring for our boys in
the trenches and how happy were
they when They were engaged in bat
tie, doing the Huns, as has been their
fortune since ships carried them over
He also told Of the many horrible
atrocities that had been perpetrateC
upon women, girls, and children by
the unspeakable Germans.
Hans Jubilee singers, all colored PEG
pie, upon the platform Sunday after
noon and Sunday night. They rem
dered songs in keeping with the day
thrilling the audience throughout.
Our people were delighted with tn.
entire program and will doubtless bt
glad to learn that the same Chautau
qua Company will be with US mex
next year, but in all probability a diff
ferent set of entertainers, as they ar,
changed annually.
1t was financial success.

Rev. Capshaw Joins Navy.

Sometime ago Rev. o. M. Capshaw,
who has been on the Jamestown cir
cult since last fall, rendered his resig-
nation to Presiding Elder S. G. Shell
ly and it was accepted. The reason
for his action is, that he enlisted in the
Navy, as an officer, and will be sent to
training school at Chicago H.,
where he will remain six months At
the expiration of that time he will
take his place on naval vessel. To
the good people OF Russell county he
tenders his grateful thanks for their
kind and generous treatment. He
will not leave until August 30th.
The Courier-Journal has the follow
ing to say Of Rev Capshaw's action.
Oscar Melvin Capshav is preacher
near Jamestown. Since America de-
clared war on the un-Christian coun-
try of the Huns he has been preaching
the gospel Of cleansing by "fire and
sword. % But somehow or other he
wasn't content with preaching alone,
although he has a wife and three
children. His patriotism was of the
higher order than the mere telling Of
another how to do things.
So yesterday he appeared to the
navy recruiting station, 412 South
Fourth street, and applied for enlist
msnt The officer in charge asked him
frankly if he had arranged for the
proper maintenance Of his household
The preacher replied by stating that
he and his wife had talked it over and
as she was an experienced teacher she
was going to teach college while he
fought the good fight"
And so to-day the navy is enriched
with another of the high type of men
that it wants. fighter for the flesh
as we'll as the soul.
The fighting parson has come into
his own.
