Last Pregram To-day.—I-Ias Been a Great Success —What Has Been
Done.—Good Crowds Have Attended.—A big Chautauqua
for Next Year.—Everybody Pleased with the
Assembly Which Closes To-day.
Tl,e t ljautauqua comes to a close to-day. It- has been successful from start
tofiabb. and everybody has been delighted with the program which has been
rendered. From the first day the attendance has been good though the in-
eiecerit weather has kept many away. Every feature of the program has been
nnV'-T-iy enjoyable and all who have attended have been charmed with the
lectures ai'il songs an.’speeches. There is greater enthusiasm to-day
/or fl chart.vifc u 1 n Gaiuesvi ie than ever before, and the people are determined
to lead their eh'.-r'-.s to the movement.
Last Saturday was educational day and a good crowd was present. Miss
Mar.de Jones of Hall county, won the scholarship offered the young lady stand-
inc the ! >est examination. The declamatory contest occurred at 10:30 o'clock
a In., and the following entered: A. M. Conway of Athens, who spoke on the
* yew South:” Morris Lumpkin of Gainesville, whose subject was ‘‘Women of
yumlebl ead;” Hope Lumpkin of tiainesville. and A. F. McMahon of Hamptor,
who spoke on “Georgia.' 5 All of the young men did well, and each'was warmly
congratulated on his effort. The judges awarded the first prize to A. F. Mc
Mahon of Hampton, and the second prize to Morris Lumpkin of Gainesville.
The congest organized by the Hall County Teachers’ Institute takes place to-day
at which time a medal will be given the successful contestant.
The Shonert recital occurred Saturday night, Prof. E. M. Shonert being in
charge. He was assisted by the Kentucky Colonels, Miss Georgia Gaston and
Miss McAfee. The playing of Prof. Shonert was very fine and everybody en
joyed it. As to the other features of the Saturday nightie program they were
up to the high standard they had previously set.
Dr. W. YV. Landrum, pastor of the First Baptist church of Atlanta, preached
a very fine seimon at the Chautauqua last Sunday morning. He is one of the
most prominent Baptist ministers in the South, and his sermon upon his occa
sion w?s one of the best he ever delivered. For more than an hour he enter
tained the large audience assembled with one of the strongest sermons deliv
ered here in a long time. The Kentucky Colonels rendered some very fine
music at this service. Their quartettes were unusually good.
The vesper service at five o'clock Sunday afternoon was attended by a large
crowd and was a very enjoyable service. At night Dr. Landrum preached at
die First Baptist church, and Rev. Oscar Brown of the Kentucky Colonels,
breached at the First Methodist church. Good congregations attended both
services.
Prof. P. D. Pollock of Mercer University, who was to have delivered a lec
ture Monday morning, failed to reach the city and Dr. W. YY. Landrum kindly
filled his appointment. He made a very fine talk which was quite well received
by the audience. Card's orchestra, Prof. Shonert and the Kentucky Colonels
rendered some very excellent music at this entertainment.
Perhaps the most enjoyable anti most appreciated entertainment of the
chautauqua was the concert by the Kentucky Colonels Monday afternoon at
five o'clock. They voluntarily offered to give this and donate the proceeds to
the chautauqua association. All the business houses in the city closed from
4:30 tor the balance of the afternoon and a very large crowd was present.
About £70 was realized from the entertainment. The program was the Ken
tucky Colonels' own. and every feature of it was highly enjoyed and appre
ciated. The Colonels not only make very fine music but are gentlemen of the
highest type and, without any disparagement to the other attractions of the
c hautauqua, they were undoubtedly the best drawing card of the assembly.
The chautauqua management appreciates the work of the Colonels in no small
degree.
Monday night Prof. I. M. Mayer gave a concert which \fa.s very much en
joyed. His playing is marvelous and he was frequently encored. He was
assisted b}* Miss Georgia Gaston, vocalist, of Gainesville, and Miss Docia Lewis,
pianist, of Monticello. These young ladies rendered their parts faultlessly and
bie audience was charmed with them.
Colonel H. YV. J. Ham, the inimitable, delivered his new lecture, “The
Case of Adam." Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock. All his lectures are good, but
it was the unanimous verdict that this was the best he ever delivered in Gaines-
nlie. From the time he uttered his first sentence until he had concluded the
audience was held spell-bound eagerly drinking in every word that fell from
hb lips. He illustrated his lecture with witty anecdotes which brought down
the house, and as lie passed from one point to another his hearers followed his
oain of thought and took in all he said. Colonel Ham was warmly congrat
ulated upunhF new lecture, and it deserves all the good things said of it.
‘ I nder the Cuban Star” was the subject of the lecture of Mr. E. A. Havers
Tuesday night. It was illustrated with stereopticon views, and everybody was
pleased with it. His description of the views thrown upon the canvas were good.
Rev. Alex Bealer of Atlanta, gave his lecture, “The Georgia Darkey, YY ed-
nesday morning. Ilis negro dialect is excellent, and he knows the old time
southern negro so thoroughly that he depicts the character as it really is. He
* as frequently cheered and his lecture was highly entertaining.

u °i>n. He is one of the most learned men m the South, and his lecture is very

Wednesday night Mr. E. A. Hayers gave Ins second illustrated lecture,
Westward, Ilo!” He presented many beautiful scenes of interest, giving with
fc ach a description, all of which was highly entertaining. Prof. YY’ade and Miss
^ u Rlws rendered some choice [selections which added to the pleasure of the
^gram.
Col. L. F. Copeland, who has been appropriately called the king of the
Lecture Platform, [delivered his lecture on “Seeing the Elephant” Thursday
Corning. Those who heard it pronounced it one of tha best ever delivered
r *eauditorium. Col. Copeland, is a powerful speaker and there was not a dull
foment during the whole time he addressed the Chautauqua. He has a happy
^ a . v of «.s: ying a thing and there is lots in what he says. All were delighted
his “Seeing the Elephant;.
Thursday night Col. Copeland delivered his celebrated Fourth of July
5 ?ceeh which has attracted so much attention throughout the country. It

A NEWTRIUMPH.
The Dreaded Consumption Can
Be Cured.
T. A. Slocum, the Great Chemist and
Scientist, will Send to Sufferers
Three Free Bottles of His Newly
Discovered Remedies to
Cure Consumption and
all Lung Troubles.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflict
ed than the generous offer of the hon
ored and distinguished chemist,, T. A.
Slocum, M. C., of New York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure for consumption and all
bronchial, throat, lung and chest dis
eases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh and
all conditions of wasting away: and to
make its great merits known, we will
send three free bottles of his newly
discovered remedies to any afflicted
reader of The Georgia Cracker.
Already his “new scientific system of
medicine” has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it not only his
professional, but his religious duty—a
duty which he owes to suffering human
ity—to donate his infalible cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond a doubtr, m any climate, and has
on file in his American and European
laboratories thousands of “heartfelt
testimonials of gratitude” from those
benefited.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consumption
uninterrupted, means speedy and cer
tain death. Don’t delay until it is too
late. Simply write T. A. Slocum, M.
C., 98 Pine street, New York, giving ex
press and post-office address, and the
free medicine will be promptly s$nt.
