FARMERS CHATAUQUA

Three days big tent meeting.
Two programs each day, free ad-
mission, no collection.
Beaver Dam, Ky.
At very enthusiastic meeting
held in the Opera House Thursday
Afternoon, number of the mer-
chants, bankers. clergerymen, and
farmers of Ohio Comfy, got to-
gether and decided to have the far
mers, Chautauqua or community
meeting come to this County this
summer.
Due to the popularity of this
series Of meetings, and the scarcity
of time before the State Fair, the
meetings will have to be held on
September 1, 2, and 8, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The
whole series will be held in Beav-
er Dam, in a big tent capable of
seating 700 people, and we are as.
sured of the best talent in the
State.
The tent will be electrically light
ed, there will be moving pictures,
male quartet, good speakers and
good fellowship.
There will be a program for
each afternoon and night, and each
day the program will be changed,
and a different set OF people will
talk.
Arrangements have been made so
that no conflict will take place be-
tween the protracted meeting to be
held by Brother Moore. and this
community or Farmers meeting.
To date over $4,000 people in
this State have attended these
meetings, and have pronounced
them the best ever sent out from
the Experiment Station.
Watch the papers for further an
movements, and the daily pro-
grams.
Mr.. e. G. Austin formerly of
Prentiss, who now lives in Beaver
Dam, was elected Chairman Of the
Committee which has charge of all
the arrangements, and he is parti-
cularly DESTROYS that every farmer
and his family attend at least one
of these meetings. While this is
primarily an Agricultural enterprise
it should be of interest TO every
citizen In the County. covering as
it will Educational. Home Making.

and Religion.
