THE BARNESVILLE CHAUTAUQUA
As was stated to the public
recently, theßarnesville Chautau
qua Association owes something
over S6OO. This debt was created
by the session of the chautauqua
held in 1000 and was the result of
circumstances which the directors
at. that time could not control.
The association has made just a
little more than expenses every
year except 1001, which is really
n very fine record as compared
with all other clmutauquas held
in Georgia. The clmutauquas in
nearly all other places in Georgia
have lost more than the above j
sum every year and yet Marietta
Dublin and other little cities con
tinue to hold them, because their
citizens appreciate their value..
Dublin lost nearly a SI,OOO this
year, but tin- citizens made good
th<> shortage and luive announced
that another will bo held next
year. We understand that the
people of Marietta have for several
years put up about $1,()00 after
every chautauqua for paying its
debts. Marietta has already an
nounced that she will have the
biggest and best chautauqua next
year she has ever had.
Of course, chautauquas are not
run for the purpose of making
money, neither are churches and
schools and various other noble
institut ions. But the chautauqua
is an institution that pays any
community. It is helpful in many
ways, especially morally and in
tellectually. The chautauqua has
given Barnesville us much favor
able consideration throughout the
state as anything the little city
has done within the past few years,
in fact it has drawn attention to
the importance of Barnesville as
an educational center, us a cultur
ed community and as an enter
prising business place.
It has been announced that the
sixth annual session of the Barnes
ville chautauqua would be held
next year, and t hat the chautauqua
would be kept up from year to
year.
What the directors want to do
now, however, is to pay the Chau
tauqua indebtedness. It is hard
to make anything out of the Chau
tauqua, because the directors have
tried to bring to Barnesville every
year the very best attract ions in
America and charge for it all,
the lowest possible price, giving
the people all of the benefit.
The News-Gassttb thinks the
citizens of Barnesville could well
afford to pay up the present in
debtedness. On a proper basis, it
would not cost anybody very much.
If the cit izens of other little cities
can put up more than this every
year, it seems that the citizens
here could help the ehautauqua
out at least once. If the people
want the ehautauqua to continue,
they should help it out now.
We believe that a satisfactory
plan can be presented, by which
the debt can be easily paid, if the
people of the community are wil
, ling to give it their encouragement
and support. Barnesville by all
means should kees up the Chau
tauqua, and to do* so, it is neccee
sary to pay off the present indebt
edness.
SERVICES IN NEW CHURCH
I)r. Rolfe Hunt, the pastor,
began protracted services in the
Congregational Methodist church
Sunday evening last, this being
the first'services held in their
new church. There was a large con
gregation present, the building
being entirely filled, showingnot
only a deep interest in the revival
meetings, but expressing the grati
fication felt by the people of the
community over the erection of
this new church building by this
body of zealous Christiann work
ers. The building is not yet com-
plete, not being ceiled, but it is
suffioiently completed to afford a
comfortable place of worship.
Even this achievement is a remark
able commendation for the faith
fulness of Dr. Hunt and his co-lab
orers. When the building is fin
ished it will be a splendid church
edifice and will reflect credit upon
the little city in which it is built.
The News-Gazette desires to
offer its congratulations to Dr.
Hunt, for whom we have great
I admiration, and his members
lover what they have accomplished
and to commend them heartily to
the public for future help toward
completing their building. They
deserve success in the noble work
undertaken and they should re
ceive all the aid possible from all
the people of the community.
The citizens of Bartlesville are
rejoicing with Dr. Hunt and his
membership.
ALL OVER THE HOUSE
A Useful a*d Pretty Dressing Table
That May Be Made at Home.
The carpenter may be called in
to construct for madam an ordinary
pine table with good, solid legs and
about forty-two inches long and
about twenty-nine high, ,and then
all of her taste and ingenuity will
count in transforming this same
pine table into a tiling of usefulness
and beauty by just the way she
dresses it in its muslin cover. It
may be llrst covered in silk or cam
bric, and then a dotted or plain
muslin valance trimmed with lace
or edged in a full frill with narrow
bending extends to the tloor. Have
the valance very full, for it is much
better to preserve the fluffy effect.
Now make a cover of the same ma
terial, lace trimmed and slightly
larger than the table. These mus
lin covers are very easily taken off
and washed, so that madam’s dress
ing table is always sweet and dain
ty.
The prettiest mirror for this ta
ble is the round hanging glass which
can always be found in all good fur
niture shops, says the Boston Tost.
This may be hung or placed on the
table and is made doubly dainty by
having a 6earf of the same muslin
as that used for the cover and va
lance frilled or lace trimmed and
thrown over the mirror and caught
back at the sides with knots of rib
bon the shade of the lining.
If possible, have the table where
a good light comes from the win
dow ou the person sitting before it,
and also the electric lights should
be conveniently placed. Such a ta
ble is very inexpensive, very easily
made, but very pretty, and when
spread with all the bottles, brushes,
boxes, pincushion, trays, etc., pleas
es the most fastidious woman fully
as well as if she had spent four
times its cost on a black walnut im
portation or a snowy enamel one in
the latest design.
The cheapness of it will not de
tract from, but, on the contrary,
with any sensible woman will en
hance, the appreciation of this toi
let adjunct to the up to date dress
ing room.

A Refractory Cow.
A missionary, speaking in Lon
don the other day, said that in re
sponse to appeals for various ar
ticles for on an African farm a
milking stool was sent to him from
England. He gave it to the negro
whose duty it was to milk the cows,
with injunctions to use it. On the
first day the negro returned home
from the cow sheds bruised and
battered, but with an empty pail.
When asked for an explanation of
his laziness, he replied, “Milk stool
very nice, inassa, but she won’t sit
on it!”

Out of Plumb.
When the wall is out of plumb the
building is more or less unsafe, and the
higher the wall is carried out of the per
pendicular the greater the danger of col
lapse. It’s about so with the health; it
is out of plumb when the digestion is
impaired, when
there is a dull,
sluggish feeling,
with nervousness, ißyi
irritability an and ,y
-sleeplessness.

and they very promptly answered and told me
what to’ do. I took eight bottles of Dr. Fierce's

How They Stood.
Eugene F. Ware, the new commis
sioner of pensions, who over the
name of Ironquill long ago estab
lished his reputation as a wit and
writer of verse, has been much in
terested for years in the condition
of roads in his adopted state of
Kansas.
Recently R. W. Richardson, sec
retary of the National Good Roads
association, who is preparing to
take a good roads construction train
across the continent, said to Mr.
Ware:
“How do the farmers in Kansas
stand on the road question?”
“Up to their knees,” was the re
ply.—Saturday Evening Post.
Depew a “Story Teller."
Cliauncey M. Depew recently
called at the house of a friend,
where he attracted the attention of
a bright boy of eight. The boy
asked his father, “Who was that
man?” when the senator had de
parted.
“That is Senator Depew,” an
swered the father, “the greatest sto
ry teller in the world.”
A few days later the senator
called at the same house, and the
small bov advanced and said, “I
know you.”
“Indeed! And who am I?”

When the President Approves.
When President Roosevelt desires
to express his approbation of a man
| iu the highest possible terms, he
calls him a “corker.” The other
day the wife of a prominent finan
cier was presented to Mr. Roosevelt.
“I am delighted to meet you,” said
the president. “I know your hus
band very well. He is a corker.”
The lady went away wondering.
When she reached home, ghe asked
her husband what the" president
meant by calling him a “corker”
and said she was much worried be
cause Mr. Roosevelt entertained
such an opinion of him.—Chicago
