JORDAN & BRO. THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1903. THE GREAT PASSION PLAY. CONTRACT CLOSED FOR THE WONDERFUL PRODUCTION AT BARN ESVILLiE CHAUTAUQUA. A proposition has been accepted by the chautauqua managers for the presentation of Thomas A. Edison’s wonderful world famous Bavarian Passion Play for chau tauqua on Friday evening, June 19th. For years efforts have been made to secure this attraction and it is believed that this alone will be worth to all chautauqua patrons more than the total cost of the weeks program. This whole pro duction is presented with moving pictures and colored views, con sisting of hundreds of scenes which pass before you in perfect life motion. There are one hundred beauti fully colored transparencies of photographs from Oberammer grau, its people and their sacred drama, all made from the last pre sentation in Oberammergrau in 1900. The people who present the Passion Play at Chautauqua witnessed the grand presentation in Oberammergrau in 1900 and there made the views to be given. It will probably be a treat of a life time and everybody in Barnes ville, and in Middle Georgia, for that matter, should be present to see this production of the most wonderful drama man ever wit nessed. And this is only one of the many other good attractions to be seen and heard at the great Chautauqua to be held in Barnes ville this year, June 12th. and 20th. Close at 6 o’clock. We do not presume to dictate to the merchants of the town, but it seems to us that it would be a move in the right direction if they would close their stores at 6 o’clock p. m. everyday. There is scarcely any business done after that hour that could not be very easily transacted before. The rest thus given to the clerks would be greatly appreciated by them and it is their just and hard earned right. Every other city and town of any consequence in the state has taken this step and surely Barnesville will not be a laggard in this respect. Let the merchants get together and agree to close at this hour each day. Bought Market. Messrs. P. F. Matthews & Son. have bought out the market Mr. Chas. Stock on Market street They will continue to run it in the present location and thus will have two places of business, their old stand and the new one. They will endeavor to better supply the wants of the public and will keep everything that ought to he found in an up-to-date market. Mr. Stocks will devote his time to the insurance business and will open up an office at early date. Made Grand High Priest. At the meeting of the grand chapter of the Royal Arch Masons in Macon last week Mr. A. M. Lambdin was elevated from depu ty grand high priest to the office of grand high priest, and took the oath of office iast Thursday morn ing. This is quite an important post in chapter and one of the highest offices which the Masons bestow. It is a distinguished (honor and being conferred upon one of our fellow citizens shows how high he stands among the Masons and in what esteem he is i held by them. Rummage Sale. The rummage sale conducted by the ladies of the Baptist church will continue next Saturday, May 9, at the same place, Armory building on Market street. The ladies will replenish the stock which was not entirely disposed of for want of time only. The sales surpassed all expectations and the check worth $45 dollars in clean cash convinced the doubting Thomases that fortuue favors the brave and the Lord does too. The voluntary clerks claim it to be the easiest money ever made hon estly. Friday afternoon send every thing to the rummage sale that you can spare. This is no call for sacrifices but if you are inclined to send things you cannot well spare don’t quench a good im pulse. If you are inclined to send nothing search the Scriptures to see if you have the faith without works, its a cheap article. S. R. R. Sunday School Picnic. The Sunday School picnic will be held on Friday of next week, May 15th. It will be held at Trice’s spring, near Potato creek, and the livery stables of the city will take the children for 10 cents round trip. Every arrangement will be made to make the picnic a big success. All the Sunday Schools of Barnesville will join in and it ought to be a very pleasant day. Colli ns* Jones.
