The Chautauqua management of Edgefield, very generously offered to the Woman's Christian Tem perance Union daring last week a proposition that if the organization wonld undertake the sale of the tickets for the Chautauqua, one half of the profits, after expenses were paid, would be contributed to the treasury of the Y. W. C. A. The proposition has been accepted, and a meeting was held on Fridav afternoon at the home of Mrs. A. E. Padgett to arrange for the prose cution of the plans. Committees have been appointed to cauvass the town, and before this issue is published, everybody in Edgefield and probably Johuston and Trenton will have been seen and captured by a chautauqua tag. On Thursday, every store and of fice was visited by members of the W. C. T. JJ., and notice was given that tickets would be on sale Friday morning. It looked as if the people were not willing to wait to see the board, so anxious were they to se? cure seats, and see themselves in im agination seated in a crowded, but delightful environment, listening to beautiful musio and other charming attractions. Do not fail to see some member of the W. C. T. U. at once about your ticket, or if more convenient $o at once to Collett and Mitchell's and secure your seat while there ia yet an opportunity. The Woman's Christion Tem perance Union has had peculiar re sponsibilities for several years, but the organization bas never asked the public for assistance except where they have had value received by some entertainment for community uplift. The organization is glad to join hands with the Chautauqua idea and help to make it a success and also to add to the W. 0. T. U. trea sury, that other work may be there with undertaken for the education of our boys and girls in temperance ideals. Success to the Chautauqua! Mrs. J. L. Miras, President Edenfield W. C. T. U.
