CARROLLTON CHAUTAUQUA
CARROLLTON, GA.
* SECOND ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 11 TO
JUNE IS, 1911.
xs
HE CHAUTAUQUA IDEA was
one of the greatest thoughts
which came into the mind of
man during the last century.
Its widespread growth out-ran
even the faith of good Bishop Vincent,
its founder. Probably one thousandChau.
tauquas will be at work this year in the
United States and they will 'be visited
by more than three millions of people.
The Chautauqua movement is one of
the greatest moral and educational forces
in the country. It. stands for all that is
best in in platform work and brings to
people supreme offerings in the way of
entertainment at insignificent cost. The
inspiration received from it is a guide to
the path-way and a lamp to the feet of
thousands.
A Chautauqua is a benediction to any
f'community in which it abides. It appeals
. ’ in its varied program to both young and
J old and is certain to cultivate high ideals
.of living and thinking. The great reforms
Awhich have recently spread over our
country are largely tracable to the strong
p men who have spoken so fearlessly on
r the Chautauqua platform in the last
dozen years and the millions of people
who gather at these annual meetings to
listen to them have had their consciences
so awakened that they have demanded
that those in authority should institute
these reforms.
The glory of the Chautauqua move
ment is that it is thoroughly undenomi
national. Here people of all Creeds and
parties commingle thoughtfully and lov
ingly. It is organized on high ground and
has high aims. It appeals to the thought
ful and the cultured and seeks to displace
those forms of amusement which are
unworthy and fraught with danger.
Cheered by the success of our I9I0
Chautauqua the good men and women
of “Progressive Carrollton” subscribed
1 liberally for tickets.
v We believe a strong program has
4 been prepared by the platform manager,
f Mr. Arther E. Cringle, editor of the Ly
ceum World, the leading magazine of it’s
* kind. He is called the “Unique Platform
Celebrity.”
Every right-minded citizen of the com
munity should give to this enterprise,
which stands for things which are high
and lofty, their loyal support and co
operation. It will add to the fame and
good name of our town and will attract
many visitors from abroad who will come
for the sake of the Chautauqua, thus
helping every business man of the com-
•w munity.
~ The program of the present year is
one of great strength and pleasing varie
ty and is so varied that all tastes are
certain to be satisfied.
To You of “Progressive
Carrollton”
►
Keep a lookout for strangers during Chautau
qua week. Give them the glad hand and a wel
come to our city. Tell them you are glad they
are with us. A cold, c itical, unresponsive town
never grows. No man feds good in any city
until he feels like he is wanted. People talk
about it like you and 1 would, whether we have
been treated good or bad.
Tell them about the rest-room in the building
where the Chautauqua is held. Its theirs.
We know YOU—YOU of Progressive Car
rollton” will do all this—but this is to remind
y °"' ‘cARRoSoN CHAUTAUQUA.
Good Fortune
'amen only to the man who helps others.
1uj™- personally fifteen men in Progressive
rrollton”*who are going toseeAot certain
Idren get to go to the Chautauqua.
The 1911 Chautauqua
The 1911 Chautauqua meant hard work.
A Chautauqua costs money.
It cost sleepless nights and days of planning.
Days of strenuous efforts.
Days when discouragement had to be recognized.
Then the hearty support and active co-operation of our people
came to the rescue.
The progressive people of Carrollton, but for them the 1911
Chautauqua could never have been realized.
We all know the progressive ones of our town—and you know
the people of sleepy Carrollton of yesterday.
Forget Carrollton of yesterday * * * * * To-day means progress.
Shut your eyes and watch the procession go by—there's Mande-
ville, Adamson, Snead, Baskin, Dodd, Hamrick and hundreds of
others with their faces turned toward the sun—the “Progressive
Carrollton” of to-day.
The progressive Carrollton of to-day has ushered in the 1911
Chautauqua movement.
A movehient that means that hundreds of our people are chal
lenged for the higher life by the messages that come from the lips
of these people who have made the world better for having lived and
wrought in it.
A movement that allows us to command the greatest speakers,
readers and lecturers on the American platform to-day.
A movement that will cause thousands to be inspired to a higher
life by the messages delivered.
A movement that has no creed-no sectarianism-where the Bud-
dist and the Christian stand upon its broad and liberal platform with
their brightest and best to liberate man—and cause him to live the
life worth while.
All hail to the Chautauqua movement and “Progressive Carroll
ton.”

Be a Booster
If you see some fellow tryin’
For to make some project go,
You can boost it up a trifle;
That’s your cue to let him know
That you’re not a-goin to knock it,
Just becouse it ain’t your ’’shout,”
But you’re goin’ to boost a little,
’Cause he’s got "the best thing out.”
If you know some feller’s failin’s,
Just forget ’em, ’cause you know
That same feller's got some good points.
Them’s the one’s you want to show;
"Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They”ll come back,” ’s a sayin’ true; •,
Mebbe they will come back "butter,"
When some feller boosts for you.
Them’s Our Sentiments.
The more people do, the more they can do.
He that does nothing renders himself incapable
of doing anything. While we arp executing one
work, we are preparing ourselves to do another.
—Hazlitt.

WHAT LEN G. BROUGHTON SAID:
CAPTAIN JACK CRAWFORD
"The Poet Scout*
"Captain Jack made the hit of the great Bap
tist Tabernacle course in Atlanta last November,
and here is what Dr., Broughton says:
*No lecturer ever gave better satisfaction. We
have had the greatest in the country, but none
has ever excelled him. He is a double warp
and twisted success. He is all wool and a yard
wide. He is just what a lecture committee
needs to make a whole course with one man.
