Chautauqua Success
Wednesday evening, Aug. 16, wit
Messed the closing of another sue
cessful chautauqua season in Shell
ley. The program taken as whole
was better than has ever been
brought to us by the Ellison-White
company. Mrs. Bryce Smith proved
to be a capable superintendent, and
Miss Altavina Cochran proved an
able junior director. 1t is worth
while stating that Shelley is the
smallest town on the seven-day cir
cult .of Ellison-White chautauqua.
Many larger towns have been hay
ing difficulty in raising the money
called for by their contracts with
Ellison-White. We understand that
Shelley will successfully meet her
guarantee, considering the tightness
Of money conditions at this time.
The people of this vicinity are very
enthusiastic about chautauqua and
have signed a contract with the
same company for a six-day pro-
gram for 1928. With the six-day
contract Shelley is guaranteed the
same high standard Of talent that
was brought to us on the seven-day
circuit this year. Altho Shelley has
population of only about 1900, it
is considered by Ellison-White as
one of their best chautauqua towns.
J. L. Moore, the president of the
local chautauqua has done much to
make our chautauqua success this
year, in fact, every year that Shell
ley has been on the Ellison-Whi
circuit. The various committeeman

year, the. best chautauqua our little
city has ever had.
