The object of the Newberry Chau tauqua association is to take the sweet flower-scented month of June and set it apart as the special time for New Lr-rr3 to attire herself in robes of so cial and intellectual pleasures. The origin of this association sprang from an unselfish and public spirit; and its promoters do not expect financial gain. They will be satisfied if the public co-opie.rate in making the Chau tauqua self-sustaining. Looking Backward. Newberry has a long and unsullied history. No one will deny. however, that our people 'have been too con tented. The torwn for a good many years did not have, that buoyant and contagious spirit for progress that has been characterising Southern cities for the past decade. The Great Fire. But with the great fire that nearly diestroyed the city a few years ago there came a change over 'our people. They shook off their indifference, and went about the job of biulding a town with a seriousness and enthusiasm that has produced magnificent results. The City Itself. Newberry has a population of over five thousand inhabitants; and is spread out so that the packed, crowd ed feeling so characteristic of many Southern towns is entirely lacking in our city. To attempt to enune'rate what Newberry has would be to fall into a common habit that has been worked over time by towns neavily engaged in advertising themselves. We have our full share of everything a town the size of ours needs. for our growth has all along been uniform and coordinate. Education, religion, business and social development have .held their own grounds while being friendly and helpful each to the other. This is a condition seldom foun.d, and of which Newberry is justly proud. The Long Summers Behind'Us. Out of the long span of summers already behind some of us how many of the mare, fresh and green in our memories because of special and pe culiar occasions? Does not 'the ner vous system need a rest from the iron. grip of the2 business life? And is there .a better time to live and to love than in the month' of June when the 'woods are green and when the fields are scented and colored with countless hundreds of wild flowers native to this clime. Looking Forward. Newberry is the -place and the time is ripe for us to have a Chautauqua week. It can and is going to be made th!e best and happiest week in the history of this beauti-ful and shady town. The week's entertainnmeints are the best that can be afforded. It takes nearly two thousand dollars to put on this Chautauqua, and talent is going to be brought herie that our people have never before and probably will never again have the op.portunity to hear; but the entertainments them selves are not the only vhin-g's that should appeal to us and our visitors. Outdoor Exerises. Not only has 'this city beautiful streets specially suitable for driving and horse-back riding and also for au tomobiles, but many streets leaving the city merge into fine country roads that stre'tchi for miles along ideal woodland scenery, and along as fine farming land as can be found in the Southland. Two Chautauqua numnbers will be given each day, and the re mainder of the day can be spent in a hundred differ'e'nt ways that will pro duce lasting memories, and to which one can look backward with -pleasure as the years come and go. INewberry's Hospitality. Commercial prosperity and genuine hospitality do 'not usuially go hand-in hand: and onre of the things of which Newberry -is proud is that -fortune has not robbed 'her of' that finer and sweeter spirit of Southern hospitality, and wherever this city is knowin it is associated with the older school of ethics. Our people still have time tc visit. a'nd to linger eit the gate post it saytrng good-byes. We are going ti have a good time ourselves, and we are going to see that visitors shall ea and laugh and be hap.py while staying with us. The Whole City Invites Youl.

In o'ne of the greatest naval battles of the world the motto was. "Enlind expects Pvery man to do his dutv." Newberry is now about to engge in the biggest ind!,rtaking for the pleas ure and -happiness of her peop!. ol her people's friends that she has ever attempted. Pure and innooeint p!a;1r 1 undefiled with the baser influences is going to be our object duringhau taqua; and our motton is going to be, "Make everybody have a god ; 1 'nc." and make, them to feel that w -ale "Taken up the harp of Life. and smote on all the chords with might; Smote the chord of Self, that, tremb ling. passed in music, out of sight." LITTLE MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL. Commencement Exercises Begin on Sunday Evening--The Graduates Compete for Essay Medal. The Little Mountain high school will close Friday. May 19.

Miss Melton had come to er father's store at the dinner hour a nd left, presu.mably for home, but, as 'd svel opments s:howed, she went to Mr. Epting's according to prearranged pro gram between the interested parties, although there was no parental objec tion to the match. The bride is the daughter of Mr. W. S. Melton and the rom is a railroad. ma.n, being a sec tion master residing at Helena. The fre.d f the happy couple con;gratu late them and wish them joy.
