• TYPICAL NEWSPAPER COMMENT ON g THE REDPATH CHAUTAUQUA OF 1913 S The Tri-City Daily, Florence, Ala., says: 2 # “Florence has been captured entirely by the Redpath C hautauqua and it ♦ © is a safe bet that the chautauqua will not be allowed to pass this city by in the future. 1 In an editorial in the Albany, Ga., Herald J 2 this statement is made: “Thru this big organization with a string of H 0 A £ chautauquas scheduled we were enabled to have attractions that we could not have se- £ © cured for a single assembly.' v © The Dyersburg, Tenn., State Gazette said © 2 editorially: “We will all be sorry when it becomes necessary for them to X fold their tents, but unlike the Arabs it will not be necessary for them to steal away. < The Clarksville, Tenn., Leaf -Chronicle © “Now that ouT good people know from actual experience just what aie ® the possibilities of the Chautauqua movement they are unanimously agreed as to its V W great helpfulness to a community.’’ t The Birmingham, Ala., Age-Herald says; © X “The tent which holds over 2000 persons was well filled when the per- 0 X formance began last night and altho the weather was hot every part of the program was Afo received with much enthusiasm.

GIVES HIM A “DUCKING” "What's the use of going to tlie lake if you don't care to take a little dive in tiie water?” A number of young people at Home City hold this opinion as gospel truth.and they endeavored to practice it on everyone who thought the reverse or was not a lover of the water. The first victim they came up against was Herman Ehinger. bookkeeper for the Citizens’ telephone company of this city who with his mother went to Home City last Sunday for a weeks outing. Herman met the certain bunch of boys and girls who believe that everyone should take a “ducking” now and then and when they learned that he did not like the water any too well they decided to initiate him into their club. Thursday evening just as Mr. Ehinger had "donned” his best and was ready for an evening's courting with the fair damsels a crowd of ixiys came up to the Ehinger cottage to meet him and as lie came down the walk he was grabbed by the bunch and before he had time to think he was making a thousand one different splashes in the cool fine cool water of Sylvian lake. Os course he got very “ijiad” over the sudden ducking but finally decided to take it all in good spirits and be ready to help duck the next victim opposed to tlie daily swim. o — — LOST—GoId watch, hunters case, with Delaval Seperator Co. fob attached.
