CHAUTAUQUA
ASSOCIATION.
The stockholders of the Barnesville
Chautauqua Association met at the
auditorium Tuesday afternoon. The
old board of directors was re-elected
As composed since the organization
of the chautauqua, the board has
been as follows: W. B. Smith, presi
dent; B. H. Hardy, secretary; H. P.
Powell, treasurer: J. M. Pound, S. N.
Woodward, Frank M. Stafford, J. P.
Thurman, Edgar L. Rogers, J. L.
Kennedy.
President Smith’s report is printed
below giving much information about
chautauqua affairs:
PRESIDENT smith's ADDRESS.
In making the report for the Board
of Directors of your Association, I
find that I have very little to tell
which most of you do not already
know. The last session was a grand
success from every standpoint. There
were more visitors in town during this
week than in any other week of her
history. Every paper in the state,
both weekly and daily, had the most
flattering complimentary notices of
your spirit and enterprise. We be
lieve that we had the strongest pro
gram ever presented on a chautauqua
platform anywhere. Rev. Tom Dix
on, who has spoken before more
chautauquas than any other man of
his age, said publicly that it was the
strongest program ever presented any
where within the same length of time.
The directors were not venturesome,
but they called on the nation for its
talent and then invited the people of
Georgia to come and enjoy the feast.
One rainy day would have brought
disastrous results and yet a less mer
itorious program would also have
probably been a financial failure.
We sold last year only 200 tickets
to teachers and visitors, whereas this
year we sold 430 to teachers and vis
itors; the total sale of season tickets
being 732. The teachers and visitors
were delighted with the program, and
with the treatment they received
while in the city. They expressed
the r appreciation, and complimented
the association and the citizens of
the town very highly in resolutions
passed in the inter-county Institute.
Some 15 counties combined in this
Institute, the number of teachers from
each county ranging from 10 to 35.
There were teachers from 15 other
counties who had been allowed to
transfer their attendance, swelling the
number of counties here represented
to 30. All of the counties which were
here last year came again, and we
had 8 new ones. We believe that it
is safe to calculate that we will have
a larger body of teachers next year,
and that they will come more willingly.
The program cost $2265, and the
items of telegrams, postage, advertis
ing, help, ice, etc. approximated $225,
making a total of $2490. The total
receipts amounted to about $2600,
and we have in the treasury in excess
of the amount on hand last year $125
and 100 benches for which we paid
SIOO. In other words, the profits of
the last sessions were about S2OO.
An effort is being made to dispose of
some of these benches, and we be
lieve that enough of them will be sold
to authorize a devidend of $2 per
share, which amount will be placed
to the credit of your stock on the
books.
We believe that your new Board of
Directors which will be elected this
afternoon will find it easier to arrange
the program and much less expensive
next year than this. They will also
find it much easier to secure the at
tendance of the teachers than in the
past. It is my opinion that from
now on this chautauqua movemement
has assumed such proportions that it
will hereafter be one of the most po
tent factois in the education and up
building of this section of the state.
CHURCH NBWS.
Rev. W. S. Stevens is at Concord
this week assisting the pastor of the
Methodist church there in a meeting.
He will be there for this week only,,
as he expects to return to fill hi pud
pit in the Barnesville Methodist church
Sunday. He is an earnest and faith
ful minister.
m
*
Rev. F. R. Graves has now been
installed as pastor for the Presbyterian
churches at Barnesville, Forsyth and
Thomaston. He lives in Barnesville,
and gives the church here two Sun
days a month and the other churches
one Sunday each per month. He is
a minister who will do a good work
for the communities in which he
labors. He is already quite popular
with his churches.
In the absence of the pastor, the
Baptist pulpit was filled by two very
promising young ministers Sunday.
Dr. T. J. Watts preached at the
morning service on the temptations
of Christ. At the evening service
Rev. Charles M. Brittain preached on
the dream of Neburchadnezzer. The
efforts of Doth these young men were
appreciated by the congregations
which heard them.
* *
*
The Methodist church has been
trying a change in the time of holding
its regular Sunday services. For sev
eral weeks services have been held at
11 a. m. and at 5:30 p. rr. instead of
at Bp. m. This was decided to be
unsatisfactory, however, as the old
hours seemed to be more acceptable.
For the future therefore regular
preaching services will be at 11 a. m.
and at 8 p. m.
*
*
Dr. J. M. Brittain is still at Fair
born assisting in a protracted meeting.
His help is usually sought by the dif
ferent ministers of the state at this
season.
One of The Best.
The Macon Evening News Satur
day contained the following item:
“Prof. J. M. Pound, President of
Gordon Institute, Barnesville, is in
the city today. Prof. Pound is re
turning from Twiggs county, where
he has been conducting a teachers 1
institute. Prof. Pound has many en
gagements for conducting these insti
tutes in the state, and is regarded as
one of the best instructors in the
south in this line.”
