THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
CHAUTAUQUA
BEGINS SUNDAY.
A VERY FINE PROCRAM HASBEEN
WELL ARRANCED FOR THE
WHOLE WEEK.
The next session of Barnesville’s
great chautauqua begins Sunday
morning with a sermon by Dr.
E. B. Andrews, the great educator
and preacher. It is expected that
the Schiller male qnartett will
furnish music for Sunday’s ser
vices. Of course there are no
charges for Sunday.
The chautauqua proper will open
Monday morning at 10:30. Wed
emeyr’s band will be present and
will furnish music for the balance
of the week as will also the great
Schiller male quartett. Monday
morning also there will be a lecture
by Col. George W. Bain, the well
known humorous entertainer. He
is said to be one of the finest en
tertainers on the platform.
There has been a rearrangement
of the program within the last
week, and it is published in full
elsewhere in this issue, so that all
may know just when the •various
attractions are to appear.
The program is one of the best
that the chautauqua has ever had
and the directors feel that it will
give perfect satisfaction in every
particular.
It now remains for the people
of Barnesville and the entire sur
rounding country to patronize the
magnificent enterprise. Nobody
can really afford to miss any of
the exercises. These attractions
are brought here and the opportu
nity thus afforded for hearing
them at a remarkably low cost.
The chautauqua affords fourteen
of the best entertainments possi
ble for $2..50 or about 17 cents for
each. Think of hearing Watson,
or Frank Dixon, or Dr. Andrews,
or Macy, or Woodland, or the
band or the quartett or any of the
other splendid attractions at a
cost of only 17 cents. Is it not
an enterprise that should he most
enthusiastically supported? It
will be a great week and everybody
should get ready to enjoy it to the
fullest extent.
The public is urged to buy sea
son tickets this week so as to avoid
the rush of Monday morning.
The rates are as follows: Adults,
$2.50; all children under 10
over 8 years old. $1.25; All child
ren under 8 years free, provided
season tickets have been purchased
by the family. No children tickets
are transferable. For every non
transferable season ticket, one
transferable or friend ticket, will
be sold as heretofore. The coupon
tickets will used and the con
ditions as to non transferable and
friend tickets will be rigidly en
forced this year. The rates are
very reasonable, and it is neces
sary to have everybody comply
with the above conditions in order
to make the chautmiqua a financial
success. All the other chautauquas
in Georgia charge' $15.00 for season
tickets. Tickets are now on sale
by Mr. .J. A. McCrary, treasurer,
at the First National Bank. Jse
certain to get your ticket this
week. Bartlesville is going to have
a big time next week. Get your
self in readiness to enjoy it.
Will Move To Atlanta.
Mrs. R. A. Monsalvatge and
family will move to Altanta about
the first of July and will make the
Gate City their home in the
future.
Mrs. Monsalvatge and her hos
pitable family have been residing
here about three years and have
made many friends during their
stay who n-gret to see them leave
our city.
We are sorry to see them leave,
but wish them well in their new'
home.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1902.
FIRE DESTROYS
TWO RESIDENCES
THE HOMES OF MRS. S. K. COOK
AND EDWARD ELDER SWEPT
AWAY BY FURIOUS
FLAMES.
Tuesday night shortly after 11
o’clock, the home of Mrs. S. K.
Cook on Thomaston street was
discovered to he on fire and the
alarm was immediately given, to
which the tire company and a
great number of citizens responded
promptly. When the fire was
discovered however, it had gotten
a good start and the Humes spread
with such rapidity, that it was
almost impossible to arrest the
great conflagration. The fire com
pany and citizens worked with
great heroism, hut it was only a
few moments before the Cook
house was pactically destroyed and
the larger and comparatively new
home of Mr. Edward Elder was
also being burned to the ground.
Desperate efforts were made to
save the contents of these two
houses, and a great many things
were gotten out, but the loss to all
the occupants is very heavy.
As soon as it was seen that
nothing that could be done would
save either one of these homes, all
efforts were expended in trying to
prevent the spread of the fire to
therfurrounding houses. For a
time it looked as if the homes of
Mr. W. C. Stafford, Mr. It. G. Mat
thews, Miss Pattie Moyer and the
Piper house, occupied by Col. J.
F. Redding, would be set on fire
and burn but they were saved,
several of them being scorched.
It was one of the most disastrous
fires had here in a long time.
Shortly after 12 o’clock the fire
had done its work and all danger
had passed. The large concourse
of people returned to their homes,
regretting the severe losses and
sorry over the inability to do
more to help those who had suffer
ed.
It is supposed that the fire orig
inated in the stove room of the
Cook house.
The Cook house was occupied
by Mrs. S. K. Cook, whose loss is
about SSOO, with SBOO insurance;
Prof. G. F. 01 ipliant, Judge
Oliphant and their families,
losses about SIOOO, with SSOO
insurance, Prof. Oliphant losing
his large and very valuable
library; Miss Mollie Rogers and
Mrs. Poe, loss S2OO or SBOO. The
house was owned by Mr. E. L.
Cook, and was valued at about
$8,500, with SI7OO, insurance.
Mr. Elder lost his house and
practically all its contents, val
ued at between $5,000 and SO,OOO
with a total insurance of SI,OOO.
Rev. F. R. Graves and family
occupied memo in Mr. Elder’s
house and lost practically every
thing including a fine library.
Their Joss will be about SOOO or
S7OO withssoo insurance.
No one was hurt during the fire.
Judge Oliphant, was slightly burn
ed about the head, in his efforts
to save his household goods. It
was a disastrous fire and it is to
be hoped that Barnesville will not
be visited by such a one again.
•Jordan Improves* Store.
Messrs. W. C. Jordan Brother,
the popular druggists, hove just
had their drug store made into
one of the prettiest, if not the
prettiest iji Georgia. New paint
ing, varnishing and whitewash
ing are among the improvements
and any one passing by can hardly
help from glancing into this beau
tiful store.
The exterior as well as the in
terior has donned anew apperance
and to say the place looks invit
ing, is putting it mildly.
A more clever set of salesmen
cannot be found anywhere in the
state than at this store.
