THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
WILL BE A GREAT
CHAUTAUQUA.
A Number of Excellent Attrac
tions Secured==Other Con
tracts Will be Made.
JUNE 29th to JULY sth.
The Directors State That it Will lx* the
Most Enjoyable Tiiat Has Ever
Been Held In Barnesvllle.
The people of Barnesville and
Middle Georgia may get ready to
i enjoy themselves at the Barnes
! vil'le Chautauqua, June 29th to
July sth.
The directors are hard at work
1 and the program for the entire
j week will afford the most satisfac
tory entertainment. When this
Chautauqua was organized it was
! determined to present every year
j the best talent of America, and
past programs show how well that
standard has been maintained. It
is confidently asserted that this
year’s Chautauqua will complete
ly satisfy the most critical. It is
certain to please from the first to
the last performance. The program
is not by any means complete yet
but some mighty fine attractions
have already been secured.
For instance, the Ottumwa Male
j Quartette will be here the whole
week. This is the finest quartette
in America and includes Mr. lott,
the finest bass singer in the world.
This alone is a rare treat indeed,
| and while the quartette costs a
| lot of money the directors thought
that the best was what the Chau
tauqua audiences here would ex
pect and hence closed the contract
gladly.
Wedemeyr’s famous Fifth Regi
ment band has also been secured
for the week and this will also be
! good news. It is unquestionably
the finest band that will appear
at any Chautauqua in Georgia.
Prof. Fred Wedemeyr will have
with him this year as musical
director, his brother who has been
the leader for years of the Marine
Band of Washington. This will
he an excellent addition that will
make it the best band that lias
ever appeared before at a Chautau
qua in Georgia.
Finding that it would he practi
cally impossible to s< cure Rev.
Tom Dixon this year on account
of his northern engagements at
that time, a contract has been
made for two lectures by his
brother, Rev. Frank Dixon. He
is younger a.id is said to he the
equal of Rev. Tom Dixon. In fact,
by some it is said that the younger
brother is the finest speaker of the
Dixon family, four of whom are
preachers and lecturers. The di
rectors have been assured that a
great treat is in store for those
who hear his two lectures here in
July.
On the morning of .July 4th, Mr.
West, editor of the Washington
(D. C.) Post, will deliver his cele
brate lecture on Political Conven
tions.
Mr. West has attended every
presidential convention within the
past twenty-five years and his lec
ture vividly paints the most stir
ring scenes from these occasions.
It is most highly recommended
everywhere. He will be introduc
ed by Senator A. S. Clay, of Geor
gia.
A contract has also been closed
with Germaine, the great magi
cian, the equal of Herman the
great, and negotiations are pend
ing for Hon. George R. Wendling,
I)f. E. Benjamin Andrews, Prof.
Winship Mansfield, and several
other famous lecturers, entertain
ers and musicians, lH certainly
going to be a great occasion.
Col. Gwyn Witiid raws From llace.

CLOTHING!
There is a marked difference
between “cheap clothing” and
“clothing cheap.” You can’t buy
a GOOD suit of clothes for less
than sio.oo==don’t be deceived.
In May, when your suit begins to
pucker and fade, you will find
that we were correct=*=that all
that glitters is not go!d=~that it
was false economy to buy a cheap
suit.
OurslO, $12.50, $15.00
suits are gems of perfection. They
are well made, won’t fade and
are guaranteed to please. Our
clothing is cheap, but we have no
“cheap clothing.”
