BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1899. The Chautauqua. ATTENDED BY GREAT CROWDS AND A BRILLIANT SUG6ESS. The second annual session of the Barnesville Chautauqua is over. Its record, as glorious as it is, is made up, and Barnesville has made great advancement forward. The success of the chautauqua of 1899, ig an achievement which no other city in Georgia had the nerve to undertake and the energy to make it a success, for it required nerve and energy to put up a $2500 program, with not a dollar in sight. One rainy day would have brought disastrous results and yet a less meritorious program would also have been a failure. The direc tors were not venturesomf, but they called on the nation for its talent and then they invited Georgia to come and enjoy the feast. The best talent in America responded and the peoplfc of Georgia accepted the opportunity presented to them and hence the chautauqua is a great success. Taken as a whole, the chautauqua program is the equal of any ever pre sented in America. It is not our purpose here to go into minute de tails, but to sum up somewhat the week’s entertainment. Dr. Lansing Burrows, of Augusta, opened the week with a magnificent sermon on Sunday morning, followed by a fine lecture in the evening, of which we spoke last week. Monday morning came Rev. Thom as Dixon Jr., in hislecture on “Fools,” and again Tuesday evening on “I he New Woman.” There is certainly not a greater entertainer in America than Dixon and he is exceedingly popular in Barnesville. We wonder if he speaks elsewhere as he does here. The fine auditorium and the enthusiasm with which he is received here must be an inspiration to him. When he gets up he lectures, trom start to finish—he talks as nobody else talks and he charms, captivates, satisfies everybody. Hon. William J. Bryan was the orator for July 4th. Barnesville ap preciated fully his presence here. He is a great man, a great leader, a great sneaker and his visit to Barnesville will always be a source of great pleas ure to the citizens. He made a great speech and he impressed everybody with his honesty and sincerity. His speech was one ot the greatest treats of the occasion. Hon. George R. Wendling lectured Wednesday morning on “Stonewall Jackson” and Thursday evening on “The Man of Gallilee.” Both lectures were very fine, either of which would entitle him to a place among the great living lecturers. When the ex citement of the occasion has passed away, we believe that the decision will be formed that the greatest and best and most fruitful of all that was 'said and done, was “The Man of Gallilee” as delivered by Mr. Wend ling Thursday evening. It was fault less in delivery, in diction and in thought, and it will live. Hon. Henry Watterson came Fri day morning with his lecture on “Abiaham Lincoln.” It was a good lecture and will accomplish good, but Mr. Watterson was to some extent ai disappointment. He was lacking in that fire and oratory for which he has a reputation. One of the most interesting lectures j was “The Last Days 01 the Confeder- j acy,” by Gen. John B. Gordon Satur day morning. It was delivered to a large audience and they were greatly pleased with it. One of the happiest entertainments during the entire week of good things was the one Wednesday evening by Mr. Alba Hey wood, the reader and impersonator. He certainly must be the most wonderful impersonator in America today. Everybody said he was the best'they ever saw. He had one of the largest crowds of the week, and the people not only encored him until he was worn out but they clam ored tor another performance from him, which could not be arranged be cause of the regular program for the week. No entertainment gave great er satisfaction and as an entertainer he has no superior. Senator A. S. Clay and Hon. Du pont Guerry made two splendid ad dresses Thursday, both ot which were greatly enjoyed. Prof. Wedemeyer, with his famous Fifth Regiment band, was here throughout the week. They were really the pets of the whole chautau qua. They were always accommo dating and their music was as good as anybody on earth could wish for. The fine music they make and their excellent deportment in every way are in harmony and they have a warm place in the hearts of the peo ple of Barnesville. This band can get as high endorsement as it wants from anybody in Barnesville or from anybody who attended the chautau qua. The Schubert Glee Club of Chica go, furnished the vocal music. It was here all the week and rendered excel lent service. It is composed of train ed voices and their selection were good. It was an important feature of the weeks entertainment. The chautauqua was a great suc cess. Great crowds attended and superb behavior pievailved through out. The audiences ranged from 3000 to 1500 and so far as we know not a single individual was at all dis satisfied with the week’s program. The directors labored diligently and unsel fishly to make it a success. It really cost some of them considerable, for which they received no compensation and no favors. They are satisfied and the people ought to be. The chautauqua has paid all its indebted ness and while it was not organized to make money, it is in good shape. It is doing a glorious work in afford ing opportunities which otherwise the people of Barnesville would never have had. It is worth keeping up and it will be done. Watch the chautau qua for 1900! TEACHERS INSTITUTE. In connection with the chautauqua there was held a very important Inter- County Teachers Institute, which did a work that is certain to produce good results in the educational affairs of the state. The institute work is not only important in itself, but an opportunity is afforded the teachers by the chautauqua that they probably would never otherwise have. For ex ample, many of the teachers here this year have never had the privilege of seeing and hearing Bryan, Dixon, Wendling, Watterson, Gordon and the other notable attractions and but for this occasion might have lived out their lives without such an opportu nity. The teachers’ work was conducted by Dr. W. H. Payne, Prof. G. G. Pond, Prof. Jere M Pound and Miss Annie McCullough. They also had addresses by Hon, William J. Bryan, Hon. G. R. Glenn, state school com missioner, and Dr. P. D. Pollock, president of Mercer University. Prof. H. M. Fletcher was general secretary of the institut e.

This makes 3 11 teachers enrolled and in actual and constant attendance, showing what an impor tant work this really is. Barnesville took care of all the crowds that wtre here. The people opened their homes and entertained friends and sfrangers alike. It was a great week and Barnesville will reap good results from it in the days that are to come. Cordele, Ga., Aug. 16th, 1897. I have used Dr. Tichenor’s Anti septic for several years and cheerfully recommend it as the finest medicine for its claims I ever tried. A. H. Killian. Mr Henry Matthews Sick. Mr. Henry Matthews has been quite sick at the Matthews Hotel this week. It was thought Sunday that he could not live, but he has some-, what improved in the last few days, and it is believed now that he may recover. His family has been with him during his illness. We hopa earnestly for his recovery. “The night my house burned, several years ago, M I was taken with short #-ww _ —l-aB-U.* ness of breath and pal like nltfnt )■*£'" % hnnMil M grew worse aft the time, llul ji a f ew mon ths ago, when I commenced the use of l)r. Pierce's medi cities. Before that I could ’ scarcely eat anything. I could not sleep at night, was not able to do any work, anil could scarcely get around th house. I had given np all hope of ever getting well again; but I am well again, and I give Doctor Pierce's medicines all the credit. "I took the ' Favorite Prescription.' the ‘ Gulden Medical Discovery ’ and • Pellets.’ " Dr. Pierce’# Favorite*l‘rescnption is a medicine for women only.
