ITS FUTURE ASSURED , Clinton’s Redpath Chautauqua, clos ing last Friday evening, was a success from every standpoint. Without ex aggeration, it can generally be said that this year's program was the best ever offered since we took,our berth oju-the big circuit. The superinten dent was an unusbally clever and af fable gentleman and everything rah smoothly and lively under his direct ion. The attractions were excellent and came up to the expectations of all. So, taking the week as whole, we believe it was the best we have had 'since the Chautauqua became a Clin ton institution seven years ago. Several valuable lessons learned this year will m^ke the chautauqiia all the more easy to handle next seasofh. With very little effort, following the plans adopted this year, next season’s ..^undertaking can be handled quite suc cessfully. The old way of begging and trying to persuade the public to buy tickets is a thing of the past. |Put —the chautauqua before the people like any other form of entertainment and let them but it because they walit it. The plan followed this year has taught us several lessons that in the future will be of inestimable value. The idea of reserving seats is not a bad one and gives ground for no one to take exception. The seats re- served are no better .than hundreds of others, yet they give those who can not go to the tent so early the satis faction of knowing they will be cared for when they get there. This ar rangement . especially benefits the country people. This year they were quite liberal in buying tickets and of fering their support to make a suc cess of the ^undertaking. The chau tauqua is a community Affair more than anything else, as. we have before stated. It belongs to the people of Renno, Goldvillq, Hopewell, Mount- ville, Cross Hill, Cross Anchor, etc., just as much as it does 0 to Clinton. In this spirit it should be interpreted and used. v ^ ■ ■ t. The outlook for next year’s chautau qua is exceedingly bright. It’s suc cess is already assured. It has be come a permanent institution In the life of ouy town and community. By their actions this year, the people have decreed it. , • • ’ ‘ leged to'have opened fire on the offi cer.

LING A BETTER TOWN from which the commun ity receives its principal support and which it serves is often referred to as its trading area, and the distance which is expected to be reached by local business men is caljleil the trad ing radius. In the light of modern usage, community^ is the given area, either urban or rural, that determines the Communal relationships, or Jn which local projects—commercial, po litical, or otherwise—are governed. The community is the unit of coopera tive achievement. Why is it so important for each city or town to endeavor to iqngthen its trading radius and broaden its- area of commerce ? Why is it that the Commercial Club of .Clinton is now working in this direction? Be cause in this way communities grow, and, unlike many other forms of com petition, the healthy growth of one city or town (foes not necessarily in jure, and should not be detrimental to the development of the sister com munities. This ,is the correct view. It is the right attitude—the American way of building America. It is an important problem and has< far-reach ing effects on the business and the building of towns and metropolitan oentexa. ‘ ^ . —r .. i There gre many factors that deter- rirthe the enlargement of a - trading or buaihess area. Primarily, the ser vice rendered by local busipefts houses, both retail and wholesale, offer in ducements to the surrounding popula tions, whic]i_autom»ticalk_and in evitably creates a center of trade and business for the district. But busi ness ajone does not do it. There are striking examples in which institu tions such as churches, schools, col leges and universities are the draw ing power. The newspaper also plays an important part in promoting home The main trouble about a crank is that it is hard to turn him from the error of his way. * J, LUCAS HELD FOR DEATH OF IffCAW Coroner’s Jury Holds Night Watch man Responsible For Clbrit of Supremo Covrt’e Death.
