BIG THINGS JUST AHEAD!
BIG CHAUTAUQUA BOOKED FOR
WATKINSV1LLE DURING THE
LATTER DAYS OF OCTOBER.
The Booster Club Chautauqua of
Washington, D. C„ a national insti
, ,. 2Z£ , ■ , , S7« , .
seen and enjoyed by many towns
and small cities, has been booked
for Watkinsville
The guarantee has been subscrib¬
ed, the big tent is coming, and folks
are going to see and hear something
worth while.
The question of combining amuse¬
ment and entertainment and instruc¬
tion has been solved by the Chautau¬
qua scheme. Instead of folks hav¬
ing to go to Atlanta to see some¬
thing, they may, instead, come to
Watkinsville.
If the mountain cannot go to Ma¬
homet, MafiSrhet is coming to the
mountain.
Chautauqua bills are clean, varied,
top-class—and good for folks. Wil¬
liam Allen White, the famous Kan¬
sas editor, says that the modern
Chautauqua is a great refining and
educational force in our civilization.
With any sort of real, loyal support
a liberal surplus may be earned for
school improvement. This is a sure
thing. Get ready for a big time.
And watch this paper for details dur¬
ing the next few weeks.
