THE BARROW TIMES
Chautauqua Was
A Grand Success
The Connuuuily Chautauqua
closed last Monday evening and
the entertainments pleased the
large audiences attending.
It was a success in every respect
and the guarantors who general
ly sustain a loss and have to pay
the deficit out of their own pock
ets were agreeably surprised when
they found they had cleared SIOO.
They gave this to the Parent-
Teachers Association who helped
to make the ehautauqua a success,
and thus aided a worthy cause.
Chautauquas do a community
more good than harm when tlie
patronage enables the guarantors
not to lose money by having these
entertainments.
The music and lectures are ele
vating and there is nothing of an
immoral tone in connection w ith
them.
It speakes well for Winder that
the one this season w as so liberal
ly patronized and the guarantors
were so w r ell pleased they signed
up for another year.
Farmers Bank En
large Floor space
The Farmers Bank is prepar
ing to enlarge it’s floor space and
have one-third or more room than
it now occupies.
The large room now oecpied by
Oarrison & Patrick at the south
end of the hank building will he
added to the bank by Mr. Garri
son which will add very material
ly to the appearance of the Far
mers Bank as well as to the con
veniences it will give.
This big institution needs more
room to meet its increasing vol
ume of business and will have all
of this by the fall season.
