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.” DR.
