THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
A Great
Chautauqua.
Tom Watson and the Big Barbecue
Friday-Other Good Things
To Follow.
The fifth annual session of the
Barnesville chautauqua associa
tion began Sunday morning in the
auditorium of Gordon Institute,
with a large congregation of peo
ple present, and it proved to be a
good beginning for one of the
mostj satisfactory chautauquas
yet held in Georgia.
As usual no services were held
at the churches and all the con
gregations united in the chautau
qua service.
The music for the day was fur
nished by the Schiller Male Quar
tette and all the selections were
very appropriate and added much
to the interest of the occasion.
The sermons, morning and
evening, were preached by Dr. E.
B. Andrews, chancellor of the
University of Nebraska The sub
ject of the morning sermon was
Zaccheus, and that of the evening
was Daniel.
Both sermons were splendid,
being practical and helpful. Dr.
Andrews is one of the most learned
and polished speakers who has
ever appeared at the chautauquas
and it was a great pleasure to lis
ten to him.
Monday’s program.
Monday morning the Chautau
qua opened in earnest. When the
morning train arrived, there was
a big demonstration by ringing of
bells and blowing of whistles, and
the people were at the beginning
of thp great event. Prof. Fred
Wedemeyer, with bis fine Fifth
Regiment band, arrived at 11
o’clock and everything for the first
day was ready.
At 10:80 o’clock the exercises
began at the auditorium. The
band and the quartette put the
people in a good humor with their
splendid music and they have kept
them in a good humor every day
since
The lecture of Col. George W.
Bain, of Kentucky, on “The New
Woman and the Old Man’’ was
one of the happiest addresses ever
given here. It was not only full
of the best possible advise, but it
was so pleasantly and humorously
delivered that it captured the
audience completely. Col. Bain
can get a bigger crowd than he
had Monday when he comes to
Barnesville again during Chautau
qua times.
Monday evening the fifth
annual concert and music carni
val was held and it was fine.
Everybody enjoyed it and there
were thousands present to enjoy
it.
Tuesday’s program.
A large crowd greeted Rev.
Frank Dixon Tuesday morning at
10:80, many of them doubtless
being drawn to hear him an ac
count of the great popularity of
his brother, our own Tom Dixon.
The subject of this lecture was,
“The Threat of Socialism,” and
it is certainly one of the strong
est lectures of the platform today.
Some of the views expressed did
not quite agree with the views en
tertained by his audience, but it
was a powerful presentation of the
speaker’s views and was full of
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1902.
things to make the people think.
His manners, expressions, magnet
ism, and fire are like those of his
brother, and he is going to make
his reputation as a lecturer. Don’t
fail to hear him today (Thursday)
on “The Future American.”
Tuesday night Mr. J. Williams
Macy gave his entertainment. It
consisted of humorous recitations,
well told stories and songs. It was
an excellent entertainment. Mr.
Macy is a whole show and was
greatly enjoyed, this being one of
the best programs of the week.
Wednesday’s program.
Wednesday morning the schol
arly Dr. E. B. Andrews delivered
his great lecture on “Robert E.
Lee." Dr. Andrews reviewed the
life and military career of Gen.
Lee and eloquently and beautifully
said all for him that it seems pos
sible to have said for any man.
It was a magnificent tribute in
every particular.
Following the lecture of Dr. E.
B. Andrews, the program will be
presented as published, which will
include the wonde/ful demonstra
tions on Liquid air and wireless
telegraphy by Prof. J. E. Wood

10:80 o’clock with his magnificent
lecture on “The Future Amer
ican. Mr. Eugene Laurant, on
“Legerdemian” Thursday evening
at 8:If). This is said to be one of
the marvelous of
the platform.
Friday morning will come Hon.
Thomas E. Watson, the great July
4th. celebration, and the big bar
becue, probably the biggest day
of the chautauqua.
Saturday morning Editor Henry
Litchfield West, of Washington,
D. C. will tell of the stirring events
in political conventions and cam
pains.
Saturday night the grand final
musical concert.
Many of the very best things of
the week are yet to come. It is a
superb program throughout and
it is giving universal satisfaction.
TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
An inter-county teachers insti
tute is being held in the armory
and it is doing fine work. All are
deeply interested, especially in
the manual training feature, con
ducted by Prof. E. E. Utterbaek,
of Atlanta. Prof. G. F. Olipliant
is the other expert. Prof. R. D.
McDowell is the secretary of the
institute.
There are 88 teachers enrolled
Prof. E. G. Green, of Dooly, Prof.
J. O. A. Miller, of Spalding, and
Prof. R. It. Adams, of Pike, are
the county school commissioners
present. The institute will be
very helpful to the teachers in
their future work.
GET THE REST.
People who buy are entitled to the
best and in the long run the best is the
cheapest. When you go to a drug store
to get some good cough medicine, ask
for Gooch's Mexican Syrup, the nicest
tasting and quickest cure for coughs
and colds, and a proven remedy for
consumption. Read testimonials on j
