REV. JESSE M. DODD
Pastor First Baptist Church
Asst. Platform Mgr., Carrollton Chautauqua
Mr. Dodd has been untiring in his efforts to
make Carrollton a Chautauqua town.
Nothing pleased him more than to know we
all could enjoy the blessings and benefits that
a Chautauqua brings.
So nothing was left undone by him to make
the 191 1 Chautauqua a reality.
Just 4 Thoughts
1. Have you a ticket for your wife and chil
dren for the 1911 Chautauqua?
2. Aren’t you proud to live in a city that has
enough progressive spirit to buy a Chautauqua?
3. Wouldn’t you buy a ticket to have others
to enjoy these privileges?
4. Wouldn’t you pay the price of a ticket to
see the happy faces—to hear the daily concerts
—if you’cojaldn’t go?
The Chautauqua Mottos
A^daily motto will be one of the features of
our 1911 Chautauqua. A motto for every day
wiN be.fhung on the back of the dotage—which
means a lesson fo^0every day. One gentleman
suggested that we omit the m otto for Thursday
as it was too plain—well you can dig the mean
ing out of all of them.
The Chautauqua has received one dozen fine
mottos .from the best author and publisher in the
United Stages to*day. One who has the English
language by the t^il—and then coins new words.
Any good motto that you wish put up will be
printed free by R. Lee Sharpe and put in the
motto department of the 1911 Chautauqua.

Dark am de nights^in’ mos’ as deep de
gloomness oje day,
Sence lee’l Isrul’s gone to res' beneaf de
clammy clay.
’Pear lak dis ol' snow kivered haid am
loaded down wid lead,
An’ my wrinkles runs wid scaldin' tears,
sence lee'l Isrul’s dead!
Las'night 1 thought his lee'l voice'un bois-
tryous an' wil‘-
But, could he speak, de wo'ids now be
heaoenly an' mil’;
Dat voice dat alius roused my rage an'
promp'd de chas'nin' rod
'Uld now leddown dr bars o’ night ‘twix,
my sad soul an' God!
I couldnt dream, in one sho't night de trem
blin' lee'l leaf
Should fade an' fall, an' cruel def cresh
dis ol' heart wid grief;
I couldn' dream, when wonderin’ why
Gawd sent us sich er shil,’
Dat Be ter day ‘uld clamp de inouf an,
blight de angel-smile!
“What'll become o’ dat Wil' boy?“ I'uster
ax' an’ sigh.
‘‘How kin I lib?’' I cried las' night, "ef
po' lam' mus’ die?"
No Gilyud ba'm kin soove dis pain: or ca'm
dis stormy soul,
For joy has fled, an' hope am dead, sence
Isrul's still an' col'!
Lawd, could 1 jes‘ call back dis onctdem
onreturnin' w rds,
De membry'd be musical as songs o'
summer birds!
Could 1 onchai.i de:n thoughts o'steel, an'
mak dem words onsaid,
Dese yokes o' lead ‘uld shif' an' fall, dough
lee'l Isrul’s dead!
Dark am de days, an' darker still de ol*
home's stiffin' gloom,
Sence lee'l Isrul’s gone to res' down in de
gapin' tomb;
De pale moon sighs an droops her eyes-
All hope an' life am fled.
An sad bells toll down in dis soul—sence
lei' Isrul's dead!

one of the celebrities of the Chautauqua plat
form and his price for Sunday and Monday

low price because he has a date in Cartersville
in same week.

CHILDRENS DAY
Wednesday, June 14.
CHILDRENS PARADE
At 5 o’clock Tuesday, starting on New-
nan street.
Bob Seeds Is Coming
Fie will be one of the “Stars” at the Car
rollton Chautauqua, you must hear him because
he is good—we know him. He has been to Car
rollton and was highly endorsed. Let every far
mer make preparation to meet Bob Seeds next
Saturday sure—to hear his famous lecture, “How
God made the Soil Fertile." Let every queer
person hear him Friday on, “The Queerness of
the Queer."
We wish we had space to publish the pic
ture of all the talent that is to appear at the
Carrollton Chautauqua, but it would be better
to come and see all, them decide which is best.
This Chautauqua will use the services of
over thirty men and women from the North and
South,
MISS SCHRAM
of Galesburg, Mich., who has charge of
Children’s Performance on Wednesday
Get in the Lillipution parade which starts
on Newnan street Tuesday afternoon at 5
p. m., about 100 children will take part.
1 am mean, but I have been better since our last
Chautauqua. Some leoture, some song, some act
at our 1911 Chautauqua may make thousands
better. While this.is a financial age, it is also an
age of thought. Thousands of old theories are
being exploded. Bands that have held us for
ages are rusting away. Shackles that have made
us slaves are being eliminated. The great minds
of the world are focused on one thought—-the
up-lift of the race. The great dynamite force of
the universe—of nature,is turning the light of fre e-
dom into millions of minds and they are letting
their lights shine, to the uttermost parts of the
earth."
Chautauquas is one means being used. Ad
vanced thinkers conduct them. Advanced think
ers attend them, and they in turn carry the
light into remote corners of the earth.
CHAS. H. SHELDON
Lecturer
“The Making of a Man”
C. E. Barbers Band will be one of the fea
tures, and two concerts will be held daily, Free-
Mr. Arthur E. Gringle, the platform mana
ger, is from Indianapolis, and is editor of the
Lyceum World. He is called the “unique plat
form celebrity.”
We are happy to know Bob Seeds will be
with us for we know him and know that he can
cut ice in July and August as well as December
and January. He is a hard man to get on &.
Chautauqua because his time is in demand.
