THE CHAUTAUQUA A GREAT SUCCESS SESSION JUST CLOSED ONE OF MOST PROSPEROUS YET HELD PERMANENT INSTITU TION. The fifth annual Chautauqua came to a close last Friday even ing, and while it usually runs through Saturday, the people were ready to stop, for the week had been fearfully hot and very dry. The News-Gazette gave a brief account of the attractions during the first part of last week, con cluding with a notice of Dr. Andrew’s great lecture on Robert E. Lee. Following this came Prof. J. E. Woodland Wednesday evening in his lecture, with illustrations, on Liquid Air. This proved to be one of the best and most interest ing things during the week. The demonstrations were marvelous and the people said that they got their money’s worth from this en tertainment alone. Prof. Wood land lectured again Friday even ing on “Wireless Telegraphy” which was little less interesting and remarkable than his lecture on Liquid air. Thursday morning Rev. Frank Dixon gave his second gfhat lec ture. His subject was “The Future American,” and he made him out the greatest character of the ages, a combination of the best from all nationalities. The lec ture was full of thrilling stories and great thoughts and made a deep impression on nil who heard it. Mr. Dixon is one of the big platform attractions. Prof. Eugene Laurant, the magician, had his performance Thursday evening. It is a mys tery how he can do so many mys terious things. He was thoroughly enjoyed. TOM WAT BON'S DAY. Friday, July 4th. was the big gest day of the chautauqua, for that day Hon. Thomas E. Wat son, Georgia’s famous orator, statesman and historian, was the star attraction. He had decidedly the largest crowd of the week, and it was a Watson audience for they applauded him vigorously from start to finish. A pleasant feature of the day was Mr. Watson’s introduction by that grand old warrior, Gen. Clement A. Evans, who had come do from Atlanta to attend the chautauqua. Mr. Watson’s subject was “Imperialism And Democracy.” He defined both and illustrated them from the important nations of the earth. It was a masterful presentation of the subject, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the. the vast audience. Mr. Watson was accorded a great ovation by the people here that day. Following the address a magnifi cent barbecue was tendered chau- . tauqua patrons,which had been ar ranged py the citizens of Barnes.; ville. About fifteen hundred peo-, pie were fed and there was an abundance left. The barbecue was a perfect success in every way. It was served in the armory of Gor don Institute and every body! seemed to do full.justice to the! occasion. The day was a splendid success. CHAUTAUQUA NKXT YEAR. The directors announced Fri day evening that this chautauqua had been a financial success and that the Sixth Annual Session would begin on Sunday, June, 28, 1908. No doubt this is good news, for the Bartlesville chautauqua is an institution that, as Col. Lamb din says, should go on forever. The directors of the chautauqua also announced Friday evening that they would present Prof. Fred Wedemeyer, the finest band master of the south, with a medal, in appreciation of the excellent music he and his band have fur nished again this year. This medal will be presented as soon as. as it can be made. ' BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1902. A BIG DEAL. MR. J. C. COLLIER BUYS STORE AND STOCK OF W. H CHAM BERS AND CO.— Mr. Edward Elder negotiated a : big deal Jast week, which goes Ut j show that property in Barnesville is very valuable, making the third J important transfer of business ; houses within the past sixty days. | The last big deal was the sale of j the house and lot and stock of W. H. Chambers & Cos. to Mr. J. C. Collier, president of the J. C. Collier Cos. The trade has been up for about three weeks, but it was consum mated last Thursday. Mr. Col lier bought the store and stock of hardware belonging to W. H. Chambers and Mr. P. T. Warde. The transaction involved about $7,000.00. Mr. Collier brought the build ing in which to conduct his cloth ing and shoe business, as it joins his other building in which is conducted his large department store, which includes dry goods, dress goods, millinery, notions, furniture, &c. He desires to sell the stock of hardware in bulk, as he does not intend to carry hard ware, and just as soon as he can sell out the stock and make some important interior improvements, he will move his clothing and shoe business from his new store on, East Main street to the Chambers store. This will practically put his mammoth business under the same roof. Mr. .Collier offers his uew store, now occupied with clothing and shoes, for relit. A splendicToppor tunity is Open for some enter prising business man, who wants to engage in the hardware busi ; ness. Mr. Wardeand Mr. Chambers have not announced their future plans as yet. They sold out their hardware store largely because of the ill health of Mr. Ward©. It is hoped that their plans will keep them in Barnesville as we would regret to lose them from our citi zenship. This purchase gives Mr. Collier three very valuable business buildings on Main street, one of which is two stories, one of the others possessing a large basement, besides quite a number of resi dences and cottages. He also practically owns the Oxford Knit ting Mills, all of which shows that he has faith in Barnesville dirt and Barnesville business. Hiivm IlfHldcnce. Mr. Edward Elder has bought the Matthews house between Mr. R. A. Stafford and S. B. Burr, Jr., and is now moving it to the vacant lot just below the home of Mr. E. C. Elder ou Thomaston street. Mr. Elder will add many im provements to the house as soon as it is moved and will make it into a comfortable and pretty < home. Dr. Graves to Leave Bartlesville Dr. F. R. Graves, pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place and • Forsyth, lias resigned to accept the pastorate of the Pres byterian church at Courtland Ala., a town of something over B<*X) inhabitants, in the northern part of the state. The people- of Rarnesville will regret-to lose this excellent gen tleman and pastor. The ap pointment is much better than the one here and J)r. Graves studied the matter over before ac cepting the place. Dr. Graves will leave here about August Ist. for his new field and carries with him the best wishes of a host of admiring friends. 1902 New Crop 1902 Turnip Seed! from the Grower at^ Blackburn’s Drug: Store Studebaker WAGONS!
