CHAUTAUQUA PLANS ARE BEING MADE

Lincoln Program This Year Promises to Be the Best Ever Held—Full Announcement Later. We are beginning to hear about next summer’s chautauqua plans already, and here it’s only February. Word has been sent to the local managers from the National Lincoln system that the plans are being put into shape and almost (before we know it, we'll see advertising, tent, program and all. This promises to be a great Chautauqua year, the bureau men say. There are a score of big issues in the 'minds and hearts of the American people right noiw, domestic and foreign, local and national, political, religious, educational and what not that will doubtless 'be sifted out in some manner or other and to some extent or other in under the chautauqua tent. A full and complete announcement of the program will be made within the next few weeks. It will include orators of the new type, inspirational lecturers with their 1916 messages, bands, orchestras and entertainment enough to grip the attention of the entire community for six chautauqua days and keep us more or less under its spell for perhaps several days after. The bureau promises that the advance work will be more effective than ever before; that the program will be a notch higher ib its standard, because Chautauqua programs must strengthen sdmehaw every year. Every year the audiences demand something different and something better. So altogether, it looks as if we are going to have a winner of a chautauqua. Dates will be announced soon, also. Keep this big 1916 chautauqua in your minds and when the dates are known, make it a point to plan to let up a little that week in the daily grind and enjoy to the fullest this splendid six days of entertainment and rest. And when the committee starts its ticket selling campaign, get back of it and give it a big boost. These men have gone back to their affair with a most unselfish motive, to give the community the best in entertainment that can be had. The idea is to buv tickets —alt you can use. And get in this community procession.

First Presbyterian Chucrh.

Rev. J. Budman Fleming, Minister. 9:30 Bible school, with a class and a teacher for old and young. To be educated may mean a knowledge of the classics, but no one is educated without knowing the Bible. 10:45 Morning worship and sermon, subject: “The Christian a Strong Soul.” 7:00 Evening worship and sermon, subject: “The Source of Christian Strength.” 7:30 Wednescthy, prayer and fellowship meeting. Our souls are like musical instruments, the strings become slack and out of tune very quickly and so need tuning up from time to time. These soul strings are faith, love, reverence, goodness, generosity, courage, and the danger is that they grow less vibrant. We need the church service to show us our loss and to bring us back to the true pitch of righteousness.

The Dorcas Class of the M. E. Sunday school which was taught by Mrs. A. A. Fell-and which consisted of a number of young ladies, gave a pleasant farewell party to Mrs. Fell Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Pearl Daniels.

The little Benosn boy, who was operated on for appendicitis at the makeever hotel some two weeks ago, was well enough to permit his removal Wednesday to the home of Michael Kanne, where Miss Charlotte Kanne, who has been nursing him since his operation, will care for him. The Republican was in error in mentioning the case in the first place as being under the charge of the charity board. They really had nothing to do with it more than to call the attention of Trustee Wood to the case. Something Good. Those who hate nasty medicine should try Chamberlain’s Tablets for constipation. They are pleasant to take and their effect is so agreeable and so natural that you will not rear lize that it has been produced by a medicine. Obtainable everywhere.

Attica Operator Held Up In Moving Picture Style.

A daredevil holdup was staged at Attica early Wednesday morning which will rival any Hazzard of Helen ever staged for the movies. Richard Parkman, the lone operator of the Wabash railroad, was whiling away the lonely hours of the night with nothing to break the , monotony but the constant click of the telegraph instruments, and was unmindful of any danger when two masked men appeared, carrying drawn revolvers, who entered the station and demanded the money. Parkman realized that the odds were against him and submitted to the frisk Without resistance. He w r as relieved of $25, and then he w’as bound to a chair and gagged. He worked his way to the telegraph instrument and placing his foot on the key sent a message to the operator at Williamsport telling him of hi? plight. The Williamsport agent telegraphed the night marshal at At* tica, who relieved Parkman from his plight. The robbers escaped.
