And, it might be add ed in passing, that is the attitude a- dopted by all of the people every day in the year towards “the stranger within their gates.” A “WELCOME" in big capitals is extended to all. While hospitality is an enviable trait that is possessed by many k»wns in the South, so much so that it has come to be looked upon as a character istic peculiar to this section of the Nation, Williston has another big as set that is of incalculable value to her—CO-OPERATION. Ami it ia the possession of the Community Spirit to the Nth degree that is pushing her to the forefront with re markable rapidity and that makes possible the big things that she is accomplishing. Beginning today, Thursday, 1 April 21st, the Redpath Bureau, of Chicago, will stage a five-day Chautauqua un der the auspices of the business men of Williston. The significance of this will be realized better when it is known that Williston is the smallest town in the*United States to book the Redpath Chautauqua,' which is cop- sidered to be the best in the country. This Is its second appearance in that town, the occasion having been mad* a huge success last year, and it is confidently predicted that that success will he duplicated during the next week. • It was old Bill Shakespeare, we believe, who said: “The play’s the thing.” With the Williston people at present, . “The Chautauqua’s the thing.” And while this special edi tion of The Barnwell People is is sued primarily to help promote the success of the Chautauqua in Barn well’s sister town; the writer wonld be derelict in his duty if he did not touch upon some of the high lights of the town’s development. Scattered throughout these pages will be found the advertisements of the progressive merchants and other business men of that hustling little city. The fact that they bought space in his edition almost without solicitation stamps them as being progressive, for they realize 1 that ’“advertising is tfie ft re under fbfe builder of busipefe*.^ They speak for themseives and fer their town in their advertisements and a care ful perusal of each and every one is urged upon the readers of The Peo ple. Many men desire no better epitaph upon their tombstones thaw 8 ' J r : m (CONTINUED ON FOURTH PAGE) nse The Growing Hardware Store of Barnwell WELCOMES YOU TO WILLISTON FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA AND INVITES YOU TO MAKE THEIR STORE YOUR HEADQUARTERS DURING YOUR STAY HERE.
