The arrangements are in progress and the committees will now get to f work to make Chautauqua week, be- i ginning June 19. a notable event iII a the history of Newberry, town and t county. s Everybody is familiar with th- Hon. 1 Wn. ..:nnings Bryan ,d -von :hose 1 who have heard him, desir to hear t him again. The people of this sec- 2 tion b.ave read a great deal of Hon. s Richmond P. Hobson, though very few have had an opportunity to hear him t sp!,ak. Both of these distirguished; citizenc-s will be on the program dur- c ing the week, and the only questionls is, will the seating ca4city of our ( opera house accommodate all who I may desire to hear these two promin- t ent citizens. The only way to be sure t of having the opportunity to hear I them, will be to secure a season ticket t in advance. This will secure the t ow.ner a seat, not only for these two S lectures, but for the other amuse- I ments. In other words, this will give N you admission to ten entertainments. Just how they will be, arranged will c be announced later. t In addition to what is to be given I at the opera house, the chamber of i commerce will arrange for a home i coming week, and all former New- 3 berrians will be invited to come home once again, and to spend a week with their old friends and among their old surroundings. This Chautauqua week has been a, ranged for the benefit of the whole community and no individual will rr ceive any personal emolumen-r: fro-l! t the undertaking, and it is hoped that all of the people will 'unite in makir,+ his one of the most successful E events ever had in the city. The following are the people wholl will entertain for us during Chautau jua week.

This will be the only official pro gram which will be issued, and it will be done under the supervision and , direction of the Newberry Chautau qua association, and the business men will be asked to assist in making this booklet not only attractive, but thor-c oughly representative of the business interests of the town and county~ of Newberry- n It -is proposed to issue at least two thousand copies. and the booklet is to be printed on extra quality of paper, b and in an artistic manner.

But while this increase in e use of the telephone in Charles >n itself is peculiarly signi-ficant and a ratifying, the statement that more an 200 South Carolina farmers in- e tlled telephones in their homes dur ig the la,st month is even more signi-i cant of the growing prosperity of] ia ru:ral districts a-nd of the demand. i f these districts for more immediate ommunication with the towns and 1 ities." - i Mimnaugh.
