NO. 15 Chautauqua will be the Great Summer Event in this City, July 29th to August 3rd. i \ 'v CHAUTAUQUA ATTRACTIONS and Something About the Men and Women Who Will Enter tain Newnan This Year. In securing the attractions for tliis season the directors were in- Uuenced to provide a more diver sified program than heretofore, hast year were heard expressions like “great, hut we are worn com pletely out”—“too much and too heavy,” etc., but this time they will say “only wish this would last another week.” So it is with con fidence and satisfaction that the chautauqua managers are able to give the people .just what they want. For the scholarly—Wo offer the platform’s deepest thinkers and favorite orators. For music lovers—Every per formance will be replete with a repertoire pleasing and accepta ble. The music alone to the weary is worth two weeks in the moun tains. For the laughing, all-round good fellow who has a kind word for well paid (t) directors,we have the material that provokes mirth, merriment and laughter as never experienced in Coweta—better than Bob Taylor when sober or Old Cotton when drunk. But aftef all comparisons have he came high, a long ways been made, we find him resent- was hard to get. He sends us a bling himself more than anyone flood of press commendations and else, and the management will be very much surprised if a dissent ing voice is heard from their one LUTHER MANSHIP. f In presenting this promising Mississippian, ex-president of the state senate, let us say that his is not a lecture, but rather an even ing of entertainment, blending bright humor and touching pathos in a most charming and original way. He takes a sunny view of life, brightening and bringing hu man hearts closer together. There is a thread of conversa tion and oratory running through his “evening” and from this dan gle the stories and songs which have pleased many of the largest ehautauquas in America. Most prominent and possibly his best ef forts refer to the old-time South ern negro, and every true South ern heart is saddened by the reali zation that this type of chivalry is fast entering the Great Beyond, and we deem it an honor to revere their memory. Hear this great man on “The Lights and Shadows of the Olden Days.” Of the chil dren of slavery it has been said, “He knows them accurately and thousand patrons. THE OTTERBEIN MALE QAURTETTE. The strongest quartettee coming South this summer and the dates of our chautauqua were arranged so as to take their only open tilin', and the directors feel the assur ance in presenting this organiza tion alone, that they will give their patrons the worth of the season ticket. The Otterbeins are much strong er than last season and ours is their smallest stop. This season closes their fifth year of platform work and their splendid success fully warrants the hundreds of press plaudits from all parts of the states. The young men compos ing the quartette are genial and af fable, appreciative and always ready to assist in any emergency; they are gentlemen, every one of them, worthy to command the respect of our best people. They sing together splendidly, have an extensive repertoire and the lieauty,harmony and scope of their music is a constant delight. Their singing must lx* heard to be ap preciated. Each gentleman takes his part with ease and grace, and their voices harmonize in a most charming manner. The Otterbeins were with us last year for a week’s engagement and are rememlwred very pleasant ly. They grew more popular with our audience with each succeeding writes that lie has more and there were some good ones lie got that lie didn't get, because lie didn’t get the papers and there are others he failed to see because they were not printed. What he does send are “a few of the plums that fell at the last shaking of the tree” this season, 11)05 and 1.000, in Michigan. Wisconsin, Illinois, In diana. Ohio, West Virginia and L’ennsylvania.

His el oquence flashes like lightning. Those who have heard Spurgeon say he most nearly resembles him as a powerful and magnetic preacher of the Gospel.
