THE CHAuTAUQuA.

With their devotion to the cause OF
education and their culture The Her
aid has found 1T difficult to under.
stand the attitude OF Maury countians
toward the Chautauqua. The finest
attractions, musical. literary oratoricai
and dramatic, are annually brought to
Columbia through The Chautauqua at
q price that Is less than one-third Of
what similar attractions cost in any
other way Yet it has always been a
desperate battle on the part of few
public spirited citizens to sell enough
tickets to pay the bare expenses of
bringing the Chautauqua here. There
has never been any surplus and were
It not for their untiring efforts and
money that Maury county may have
the pleasure sand advantages Of the
Chautauqua, there would be annually
deficit. In fact, last year, despite
all of the efforts and energies Of the
guarantors there was small deficit.
which was cheerfully made good by
men who had devoted the better part
Of two weeks time to public service.
Now there is no reason why the en-
tire public, why at least $50 men and
women, should not bear the burden of
he Chautauqua as well as have its
benefits. In county with the pop.
ulation. the refinement, the educa-
ton and the culture of Maury county,
there should be at least $50 men and
women who would voluntarily and
without any solicitation, but of their
own voltion, buy that number of sea-
son tickets If this were done the
gentlemen who stand behind>and guar.
antee the sale Of the tickets would be
relieved of burden that ought not to
be imposed npon them, They are all
busy men, generally the men who do
most of the public service in the, com,

make up and give most Of the funds
tor special and worthy causes; they
are the men who organize when the
interests of the community or county
are threatened by hostile legislaton.
They are always active, alert and dill
gent when any public service is to be
rendered and they should be aided

the last Confederate soldier to hold

age, or only twenty when the war
closed. They are all too old now TO
begin such arduous service. When
