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.
