CHATTAHoOCHEE March 1s.--
One of the best programs ever enjoyed
in this community was that OF the Rat
cliffe chautauqua, which closed
three-day program at this place last
night.
On Tuesday afternoon the chautau-
qua began with Rev. j. f. Grant OF
/ the Baptist church and Rev. j. Il.
Woodward of the Methodist church on
/, the stage. Rev. Mr.. Grant introduced
the chautauqua director. Mr.. Eichel-
berger. who in a few well-chosen re-
! marks explained the purpose of the
chautauqua. This purpose was so diff
ferent to what some people had
thought that Mr.. Eichelbergers re-
marks were well received. Some in
the community had not cooperated in
bringing the chautauqua and it was,
no doubt. because they had not under
stood the full purpose of why the
chautauqua was brought.
The Moore Musical company fur
nished the entertainment in the after
noon and evening. The lectures were
delivered by a substitute for J. Will
liam Terry, D. D., who was to appear.
The afternoon lecture was on the
Value of the Individual" and the one
at night was american Political
IDEAL
On Wednesday the forenoon was
given over to the school children and,
under the direction of Prof. Hinson
and his teachers working together
with Miss Rosa Kohler, in a program
Of stories for young people, plays, ETC.,
the day was enjoyed very much. 1t
was also patrons day at the school
and dinner was spread on the ground
and the whole community combined in
the festivities which had been pre-
pared by the ladies.
In the afternoon Mr.. Eichelberger,
the director, gave a lecture, entitled
"A Community Program" which was
much enjoyed. by all present. The en-
tertainment was furnished by the Bel
limo Plumstead Concert company. Bel
limo with the accordian was highly en-
tertaining and Mr.. Plumstead with his
great trait of representations was
highly enjoyed. Wednesday night, Mr..
Eichelbarger gave one of the most in
teresting lectures on American So
cial Ideals" ever listened to in this
community. Bellino and Plumstead
were again with US at night and fur
nished much amusement and caused
some to laugh who had not been seen
doing so for some time.
The third and last day opened in
the afternoon with the American All"
detachment. These soldier boys from
Camp Dix, n. j., under the direction
of Lieut.. Kelley gave drills, sang COM
lcal songs, told stories of their being
unable to read and write when they
Joined the u. s. army but how, through
the efforts of the government, they had
received the necessary education. DIR.
Culp gave lecture on community CO.
operation, which was a valuable one at
this time. Miss Ethel Shepard of
Greensboro was also on the program
and 1t was a treat for her many
friends here to have the opportunity
to hear her again.
A beautiful feature of the evening,
after the close of the afternoon pro-
gram, was an1entertainment given in
honor of Miss Ethel Shepard and her
soldier boys" Supper had been pre-
pared by a number Of the young ladies'
of the neighborhood and this was
served on the campus near the school
building. Among those enjoying the
hospitality were Miss Ethel Shepard,
Mr.. Eichelberger, 1t. Kelley and eight
other soldiers, all with the chautauqua
Misses Lucille Harrison, Eunice Swi-
cord, Moreno Gissendaner, Bernice
Howell, Bertha Gholson, Carline Boy
kin, Rossie Atwater and Messrs. John
d. Roberts. Prof. Hinson and Doug
las Gissendaner. Mrs. Sims Ballau
and Rev. ]. f. Grant accompanied the
party. The evening was enjoyed by
all present.
The evening program, the closing
number, was an address by Dr. r. S.
Culp on American Industrial IDEAL"
This subject was well handled by Mr..
Culp and his remarks were very edu-
cational. Following DIR. Culp, Miss
Ethel Shepard again gave number
Of her pianologues, which were en-
joyed. The soldier boys again enter
tanned with their drills. etc.
At the clos,- of the program Rev. J..
f. Grant went to the stage to talk
about the chautauqua for next year.
A storm came up and the people began
to rush out and go home. All Rev.
Grant succeeded in getting done was
a salute to the chautauqua by all pres
ent..
The following day, however, the di-
rector, Mr.. Eichelberger, together with
Rev. Grant, saw the citizens of the
neighborhood and by noon they had
secured 20 signatures to guarantee the
return of the chautauqua for next
year.
At the beginning of the chautauqua
there was number of citizens of the
neighborhood not interested, but by
the close every one, excepting possibly
oneor two merchants, We're highly en-
thusiastic over the matter and there
was no trouble in signing the contract
for another year, even though the full
amount was not raised by ticket sales
and gate receipts this year. The sign
ers on this years contract paid a
little less than 81 each.
