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.
