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 land Wednesday and Friday even ing. Rev. Frank Dixon. Thursday at 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.
