Through the chairman, it is stated that the tickets are to be placed oil sale at several convenient places and all are urged to go and buy their tickets without delay during next week. There is not going to be the usual running down, soliciting and begging folks to buy tickets. And this is exactly as it should be. The Chronicle has frequently spoken of the chautauqua through these col umns. It is a community proposition more than any other American insti tution. It is a family affair and should be thus interpreted. It stands for community betterment and those things that gre worth while—there fore it deserves the support of every citizen in the community. For those who are to work in the interest of the chautauqua, we be speak a willing and ho’pful coopera tion on the part of ail our people. The tickets are cheap—dirt cheap, easily in reach of every one. It’s a cbmplirweht to Clinton to be on the big seven day circuit.

THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1925 With the opening of the big leagues 1 and the throwing of the first fcall by j President Coolidge, he can now get away from Washington for the sum-| mer. This is the time of the year when a few parents are worrying four fear their boys don’t pass the examinations, and when all the boys are concerned for fear that they won’t get on the ball team. are This is a funny world. The citizen who usually makes the biggest pro test against the curtailment of trains is the fellow who always travels his car. in ritory. we will A PERSONAL WORD Beginning today and continuing for the next three months, The Chronicle will go into the homes of practically every family residing on the new high ways in four directions from Clinton. Conservatively estimated, the- paper will be read weekly by from eight to ten thousand people. As will he n^ted in news articles in today’s paper, this is no selfish move on the part of the publisher, but one of mutual helpfulness. The idea originated in the city’s commer cial organization and the cost of this extension campaign is being borne by the paper and contributions made by a number of the leading merchants and business houses of the city. With the opening of these long needed high ways in this section, there are ad vantages for the country along the routes to reap, there are likewise ad vantages and opportunities for the town of Clinton. With these improved taansportation facilities, both country and city will be benefitted. In this spirit, Clinton wants to know the country people bet ter, and we want you to know and understand us. With this end in view, therefore, The Chronicle will be sent you for this specified period with no obligation on your part whatsoever in the ultimate hope that new ties of friendship will be formed and that our facilities and assets will be gen erally used. When we assumed the ownership of the paper, we inscribed on our head- mast these words, “The Chronicle strives to be a clean newspaper, com plete, newsy and reliable.’’ During this, period we have constantly work ed with the fulfillment of this goal as our ambition, and we have endeav ored as best we could to serve our generous and patient and tolerant readers. With due modesty, we are happy to state that our family of readers has continually increased and that we have been able to make and hold friends. So, speaking to those who are receiving the paper today for THE PERSONALITY OF A CITY A Washington correspondent re ports that at a recent White House reception, a woman in the line, after shaking hands with the president, re marked with some enthusiasm, “I’m from Boston.’’ The president replied, “You’ll never get over it.” A? “Cal” is intimately familiar with the famous city of baked beans, there was truth as well as pleasantry in his remark. Boston has been supposed in the past to stand for culture and conser vatism. While the character of that city has changed during recent years, yet the old-timers of Boston did have those characterisitics to a large ex tent. So one could go through half of the communities in the country, and show that they have had certain traits that they have impressed on their residents. Some people of course are so non descript in character, that they re main about the same wherever they go. But those who are m6re respon sive to influences about them, are shaped by their environment. The dominating traits of a city are largely created by the leadership it has in the present- or has had in the past. A small group of people of forceful personality can often put their stamps on their home towns and powerfully sway their future develop ment. The way to shape the character of a city, and create a kind of .commun ity personality that moulds the char acter of the people, is to cherish high ideals and standards. If those who hold positions of influence have medK ocre purposes, their city is not likely to attain a. reputation for its distinct ive excellencies. But it is possible by a constant insistence on high aims, to give a city certain superior character istics, so that its institutions and faci lities and activities are held up to high standards, which have a tendency to impress their fine stamp on its visit ors. - • ' 1 - The opening of the new highways into Clinton brings new responsibili ties to our city. It means that people heretofore visiting Clinton only occa sionally, will now in all probability, form more intimate relations with our town and business interests. They will form their opinions in short order, they will not hesitate to decide whether they like or dislike us. They will soon learn the personality of our city. Now that Cal’ has had his old hat renovated, we suggest that he send his last summer’s mohair down to Will Buchanan for a first-class cleaning job. ARSENATE OF LEAD 50c per pound.

A newspaper, more than anything else, is a self- made thing. It makes its own niche in the hall of time and of fame. And yet it derives, by reaction, all of its influence and its power for good or for evil from its readers. It must needs create readers, and must needs hold them. In this spirit, We hope to be received. To serve this section better and more thoroughly than ever before is our new resolve.
