Recently the creditors met and appointed an agent to act with J. O.

It was estimated that this would not sell for much more than fifty or seventy-five dollars.

" f %v?v.w.w.w.w.v.v.v.v. f There was an enthusiastic meeting ' jt ine unautauqua guarantors hold at Ihe Peoples Bank Building last Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock, with Mrs. Marie Dobbs Jones, the Chautauqua Superintendent, present. Representative ladies of the town ' met the committees at this meeting a 1 follower Mrs. M. G. Andersen, of the 1 School Improvement Association; Mrs. W. F. Alexander, of the Civic League; Mrs. McQueen Quattlebeaum, of the ' Parent Teacher's Association; MissElizabeth Sasser of the High School Literary Societies: Mrs. E. J. Sherwood of the Women's Federated Clubs; Miss Ella Sessions, Secretary of the Conway Civic League; Mrs. M. A. Wright, of the Fine Arts Club. Many things were decided at that meeting which will make thi<< season the most successful the town has ever had in the holding of a Chautauqua. The first thing to be considered was the use of the now school auditorium instead of the big tent which is furnished by the Chautauqua Association. It had been advertised that the tent would be used this time and for thai; reason some argument was heard against the use of the school building1. There was more argument for it, however, than against it, and it was found that the auditorium cou'd be had at less expense than the cost of the tent. It was therefore decided to use the auditorium, which is given up to be one of the finest ever finished in the State. New advertising: lias been sent out tellinp: of the change from the tent which was to have been pitched on the vacant corner at the Buck Motor Co., to the school building, and there will be no confusion or inconvenience whatever by reason of this change. It was decided to make several booster trips through the county on for Mer t Church ' Wt ^ yF flr * ^pi^^fl^PPIyaKJQJBw^Ajlflrr jm?- idp?i .ObH & jLBXP' ^^H^BBMoiHEll^^Si x %jK mfc- Mawu^utiCT'f^ )WNING, Evangelist r Victim?"
