THURSDAY, APRllT8. 1915, The Chautauqua. fivery citizen of Williamsburg who is interested in the progress and development of our county should take an interest in the Chautauqua to be held at Kingstree and Johnson ville the whole of next week, opening here Monday for three days and closing at Johnsonville Saturday, after three days' entertainment there. This Chautauqua is sent out by theRadcliffe Bureau, the well-known amusement company of Washington, D C, and consists of a large company of artists of the highest talent each in his or her respective line. There is something for everybody in the way of mental pabulum, old and young, large and small, the repertory of the company including numbers to appeal to every one's taste and fancy. For the children especially there is a delightful prog rum me, including feats of magicians, impersonators, musicians, while for the grown-up folk there is a complete programme daily embracing .an almost endless variety of subjects, "from grave to gay, from lively to serene." There is nothing coarse or suggestive about any of the acts, but the entire programme is clean and wholesome. This is the first Chautauqua that has ever visited Williamsburg county and the people should show their appreciation by liberally patronizing it, so that it may become an annual event. The Chautauqua was made possible here by a number of the liberal and public-spirited business men of the town assuming the responsibility of a substantial guarantee to the Radcliffe company. These roon rtn nnf PTrwt. tr? mntf* a r??>nt out of the enterprise, their whole object being to bring the people of town and county together to meet and mingle, looking to an increase of community spirit. The farmers of the county are cordially invited to hear Hon E J Watson, Commissioner of Agriculture, who will deliver an address especially to farmers during the Chautauqua. These are times when the farmers need good, sound, practical advice and probably no one in the State is better fitted to give them "helpful suggestions at this juncture than Commissioner Watson. Show by your presence your approval and co-operation on behalf of the efforts of the men who have 1 A. iL ^ rM x 1 I .urougiu nit: i/iiuuiuuquu Here iur .your benefit.

"No, not Bill Jones," replied the other, "Bill was killed day before yesterday; I mean the killing yesterday!" YMSBG.
