All honor to its promoters! The large number of summer visitors in Gainesville are extend ed a hearty welcome. Dr. W. W. Landrum preached a most magnificent sermon at the chautauqua last Sunday. Popultst Hogan has opened up his campaign for Governor. He has made a mighty weak start. Commence now talking Chau tauqua for next year. It will be bigger and better then than ever. THE CHAUTAUQUA MOVE MENT. The following editorial taken froni a recent issue of the Atlanta Constitution shows to what extent the Chautauqua movement is reaching in Georgia. Gainesville is the place of all places for a tru ly great Chautauqua and it is a source of much gratification that her people are determined to head the procession in this great move ment in the Empire State. Our ten days assembly which comes to a close today demonstrates what can and will be done here. Al ready a number have set their shoulders to the wheel and will not rest until they see the greatest chautauqua assembly in the South gathered in Gainesville. It is a movement which deserves the heartiest support, and nothing should be left undone to make the Gainesville Chautauqua the big gest and best in the United States. The editorial is as follows: The chautauqua movement seems to be taking deep root in Georgia. Such wide awake and progressive communities as Albany, Barnes- ville, Demorest, Gainesville, Haw- kinsville, Thomasville send East man are each the possessors of thriving chautauqua assemblies, with the result that they each draw annually from the surrounding dis tricts of country thousands of eager visitors bent upon obtaining educational instructions. There is no better method of lifting up the masses than through Poor old Cervera went down mid shot and shell. In making a ^ dash for liberty he simply obeyed the instrumentality of chautauqua orders. War, county politics and the chautauqua have engaged the at tention of the people of Hall the past several weeks. Everybody who attended the chautauqua was delighted with the program. A better list of at tractions is seldom seen. The success of our army and na vy is the cause of rejoicing through out the United States. Both have challenged the admiration of the world. All visitors who have seen the magnificent auditorium of the Georgia Female Seminary marvel at its beauty. It is a treasure to be high!}’ priz d The county primary is over. The successful candidates feel quite differently to the defeated ones. Let all now work for the success of the ticket. The next state convention will be held on .July 20th m Atlanta. Justice Thomas J. Simmons, Wil liam H. Fish and Henry T. Lewis will be renor linated foi re-election. A T of** - tt. • Sampson, S' LEO.

Without leaving any heavy taxes upon the people who patronize them, they furnish what is undoubtedly the best popular symposium of lecture talent which the present day affords. -Wher ever they have been held good re sults have followed: and we are glad to see so many of the enter prising towns of Georgia taking such interest in the chautauqua assemblies which they have insti tuted. We sincerely trust that other communities in the state will adopt the example which they have set in this respect. In addition to chautauqua as semblies held during the summer months there should be lyceum bureau entertainments held during the winter months in every com munity in Georgia. This is the way to build up the true interests of the state. While rapid progress has been made in Georgia within the last few years toward diffusing intelli gence and culture among the mass es, there is still decided room for improvement. • Does Baby Thrive? If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food does not nourish it, put fifteen or twenty drops of Scott’s Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change. We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when other food fails to nourish them. It is the same with larger children that are delicate. Scott’s Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in their food. Do not fail to try it if your children do not thrive. It is as useful for them in summer as in winter. Ask your doctor if this is not true. SCOTT & SOWNE, Chemists, New York GO TO WORK HOW. t We have seen the possibilities of a great chautauqua in Gaines ville ; we have been made to re alize how much such a movement means to this city and section; we all know how much benefit we have derived from the assembly which closes today and, now, w 6 should all go to work to make the one next, year bigger and better than any chautauqua ever held here, or any assembly ever held in the State. Chautauqua means lots for Gainesville, and as far as individual benefit is concerned we are all entertained, enlightened and made better. Let the work, then, for the chautauqua next year be begun now, and lets make it the best as sembly ever held in the South. The Macon Telegraph in a recent issue has the following editorial which treats of a matter just now being widely discussed in such a sensible way that we produce it. It is worthy of attention and the editor will find many who agree with him. It is as follows : The yellow pulpiteers, who seem to belong to no particular denom ination, have had their innings, and now some of the people and some of the newspapers have taken up the cudgel against them. An unusually sensible and yet con servative editorial writer has con tributed two articles to the At lanta Constitution on the subject. The case in hand is very success- r ** fully treated. Yellow journalism is bad enough Yellow pulpitism is horrible. This' infestation of the holy place is comparatively new in the South. It has gained a foothold within the last eight or ten years. Formerly the old-time religion— the good and simple old gospel as promulgated from Sinai, and preached from the Mount was good enough for us. But a new era seems to have dawned. A circus tent and a ring performance must be restored to, to draw. We know that the old-time preachers of the old-time religion have met with many discourage ments. So did Christ. So did Peter and Paul. We know that they bow their heads and bend their knees and yearn and pray many times for light and direction, hoping to learn the way to reach the masses, and that they are disappointed. But Christ and Peter and Paul, and the rest of the pioneers of the Christian religion, had to face greater diffi culties than any of the latter day disciples. If this is not so then history is a lie. It is our oppinion that, in the abundant ardor to reach the masses, too many really devout and well-meaning preachers have lost their heads in a mad plunge for that notoriety which attracts gaping crowds. They ought to be disciplined,gently at first, by their churches. They ought to be drawn back to the old landmarks as laid out by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We may differ about the rituals the ceremonies, and about the rel ative importance of this or that doctrine, but tho great basic prin ciples of Christianity stand out above all the quabbles of all the theologians like mountain peaks all along the line from Sinai to Calvary. They are love, forgive ness. gentleness—honesty; sum med up in the text, “Love mercy, do justly and walk humbly with God.” The “still small voice” is the exponent of these. ' Not, w'e take it, the yellow pulpiteer. Samuel Rogers said: “When I way young I said good-natured things and nobody listened to me ; <WRUP°r ftr. IRE EXCELLENCE OF SY8UF OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Tig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon ail the importance cf purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Sy^kup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it aets on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company— CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAIT FRANCISCO, CsL LOUISVILLE, Kt. NEW YORK. N. Y. now that I am old and say ill- natured things everybody listens to me.” But was it not better to listen not at all than to listen to “ill-natured things?” The still small voice of good nature doubt less penetrated deeper than he sup posed. If to accomplish good was his purpose iu life his first state w r as his best state. If to attract attention and gam notoriety was his life’3 aim, then his last state was the more successful, from that view point. We fear that some of our preach ers—thank God not all of them?— have reached Samuel Rogers’ last state. They say ill-natured things in order that people may listen to them. The Telegraph may be a little old-fashioned in these things, but it is reminded of the fact that the founder of Christianity was never severe except when he denounced, tho whited sepulchers and phari sees—those whose stock in trade it was to judge others to hell.
