BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1899. THE CHAUTAUQUA. The Chautauqua is all that the most hopeful could dream for. It has already been a great week for Barnesville. Home folks and visi tors have been charmed with the dif ferent ieatures of the great occasion. The Chautauqua opened Sunday morning and it was a fine beginning. A splendid audience greeted Dr. Lan sing Burrows, of Augusta, as he stood upon the platform as the first attraction of the entire program. He preached a magnificent serm*n taking the character of Chiist as his theme. At 8 o'clock his lecture on "A Strange Story.” It is a lecture that gets your attention at once and holds you spell bound until its close. From beginning to end it is impressive and forceful and it is certain to be productive of much good where ever it is heard. Dr. Burrows made a fine impression by the lecture. Monday morning brought upon the platform one of the greatest Amer ican lecturers, Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr. His subject was ‘’Fools or the School of Experience.” Mr. Dixon was here last year and gave the greatest satisfaction. He cameagain this year and if possible increased his reputation as a lecturer. He cannot be described—he is simply great. 2000 people went to hear himTues-’ day evening on “The New Woman” and not even a child went away dis appointed in the efitort of the won derful man. THE MATCHLESS BRYAN. Hon. William Jennings Bryan, the great leader and orator, arrived Monday evening at 10:15 o’clock and was met by a great crowd at the de pot. He was given a splendid re ception. He was carried to the home of Mayor and Mrs. Walter B. Smith, where he spent the night and remained Tuesday morning until 10:30 o’cloc’c. Here he had a good many callers, to all of whom he was exceed ingly pleasant. He is a most re fined gentleman and all who came into personal contact with him were charmed with the man. At 10:30 o’clock he went to the anditorium, where he made a most powerful speech on the pending problems. He was eloquently introduced by Hon. Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, who said that Mr. Bryan had already been nominated for president by the Amer ican people. We are not able to present even a synopsis of the great speech made by Mr. Bryan, but it was greatly aypreciated by the au dience of 3000 people who heard it and it was cheered throughout with great enthusiasm. Monday evening a concert was given by the Fifth Regiment Band, always good and always popular, and the Schubert Glee Club, which is giving eminent satisfaction. It was was largely attended and much en joyed. Prof. Wedemeyer and his magnificent band are even greater favorites this year than they were last year and this is the highest com pliment that can be paid them. Wednesday morning Dr. George R. Wendling delivered his great lec ture on Stonewall Jackson. Much was expected of him—he met these expectations. He is one of America’s great orators and his visit to Barnes ville has been a source of great pleas ure to thousands. He lectures to night (Thursday) on “The Man of Gallilee.” It should be heard by everybody. ' Here is the program from Wednes day evening for the balance of the week: THURSDAY, JULY fTH. ro:3o a. m.

The Fifth Regiment band, thirty strong, is in the city this week appear ing daily at the chautauqua. This band is one of the best in the South and has made a famous reputation. The concerts given by this body of musicians are very much enjoyed by the people who attend the exercises at the auditorium and already the members of the organization have made many friends in the city.
