CHAUTAUQUA GRADUATES

Brief History of the Chautauqua Course in This City Since 1880— Review of the Last Book

Studied Given By the Rev. Naftzger.

One of the most delightful and entertaining social features of the season was the noon luncheon Friday, to which Mrs. John H. Binford entertained the members of the Cosmopolitan Club and a number of their guests, who are graduates of the Chautauqua Course. There were seventeen members of the club present and the guests included Mrs. H. B. Thayer, Mrs. Lemuel Gooding, Miss Elvira Gooding, Mrs. Malissa Cooper, Mrs. A. P. Conklin, Mrs. George Duncan, Mrs. Nathan Binford, Mrs. Poulson. Mrs. Mary C. Bruner, Mrs. Kathryn Groyn, a deaconess at Sioux City, Iowa, and a guest at the home of Mrs. L. J. Naftzger Mrs. F. B. Clayton, of Peqursqurpan, Mexico, a guest of Mrs. 0. E. Oxer, and the Rev. L. J. Naftzger, who gave the book review. Preceding the luncheon the election of the club officers for tlie ensuing year occurred, Mrs. E. E. Stoner being elected president to succees Mrs. W. S. Pugh Mrs. 0. N. Dugan, vice-president Mrs. W. D. Getman, secretary, and Mrs. Myra Moore, treasurer. The splendid home of Mrs. Binford, the hostess, was beautiful in the club colors and penants, and the luncheon was served on small tables, four guests being seated at each table. The first course of fruit salad was followed by chicken patties, peas, new potatoes, hot rolls, cottage cheese, jelly and olives, and the last course was strawberry ice cream, angelfood cake and coffee. A social hour followed the luncheon and Dr. L. J. Naftzger gave the work of the afternoon, which consisted of a review of the last book of the course the club has been studying. Mrs. Binford is well known as a pleasing hostess, and she leaves nothing undone that, will add to the pleasure of her guests, and the occasion Friday was accounted by the guests as one of the most successful social gatherings in the history of the club.

The first division of the Chautauqua Course Class in this city graduated in 188-i the graduates being Mrs. Cinderella Howard, Mrs. Mary Swope and Mrs. L. W. Gooding. The work was started here by Mrs. Cinderella Howard, who in 1880, spent several weeks at Chautauqua, N. Y., where she became so interested in the chautauqua idea that she determined to study the course, and accordingly when she returned to her home she was armed with the books that would take her through the first years work. Soon Mrs. Mary Swope, Mrs. H. B. Thayer and Mrs. L. W. Gooding caught the in-

special car, one of the best cars on the road. When the car started east the ladies were informed that they were going to East Haven, but the car stopped at the barns and turned and took them west. The hosts then passed pink badges reading "Graditim, June 1, 1911." The car stopped at Mr. Shay's hotel, west of Philadelphia, and the party was told that it was just in time for supper. A very elaborate chicken supper was prepared. The tables were beautifully decorated in pink roses, the club color being carried out throughout the evening. Toasts were given by Dr. Justice Chas. Troy and Mrs. Gordon. The car stopped to take them home, but instead took -them on to Indianapolis, where they formed a theatre party at the Murat to see "Barbara Frietchie." The party had lost none of its enthusiasm in the late hours of the homeward trip. No, sooner had they started than the gentlemen began passing plates and spoon, and served the ladies with strawberry ice cream in the form of pansies, the club flower, nabiscoes, rosettes and candy. Nothing was left undone in giving the ladies a delightful evening. The gentlemen were congratulated by the ladies who cheered enthusiastically as they neared home. Those who enjoyed the happy occasion were Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Justice, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Troy, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Leech, Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Binford, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Rucker, Mr. and Mrs. John Rosser, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Arnold, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Orr, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Rliue, Mr. and Mrs. John Peters, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Ellis, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Fletcher, Dr. and Mrs. Trees, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Burke, of Maxwell Misses Dora Arnold, Alma Justice, Hazel Reese and Messrs James Cleary and Geo. Ramsey.

Hazel and Artie Dobbins entertained a number of young people at their home, west of Maxwell on Thursday evening. Games were played during the evening. Those present were Grace Reynolds, Ada Eakin, Bertha Chappie, Audra True, Nella Pratt, Doris Young, Pauline Burke, Jesse Walker, Chloe Shepler and Ruth West, of Maxwell Elsie Wheatley, of Fortville, Naomi Tapscott, of Greenfield Messrs.

In 1886, Mrs. Thayer, Mrs. Malissa Cooper, Mrs. George Cooper, Mrs. George Duncan, Mrs. Ada New and Mrs. Elvira Gooding were graduates. The literary programs consisted of classes in history, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, practical economy, painting and sculpture, and the great poets and writers of every age and nation.

The ladies of the Graditim Literary League were very delightfully surprised by their husbands on Thursday evening. Each husband planned in his own way to get his wife to the 5:18 car. Those who enjoyed it most were Mrs. Dr. Justice, Misses Alma Justice and Dora Arnold. They had been informed that they were invited to a, wedding anniversary at New Castle, Miss Arnold expecting to play and Miss Justice to sing for the occasion. How long the girls had rehoused for the evening's entertainm( is not known, but they found out If*ter that they would have little for their music rolls or curling 'iron's^which they brought to the car, and how astonished each lady was at'seeing the familiar faces of her club members at the station, and how countenances changed and began to prepare for a jolly time when they were invited to get on a

The Friends social at the homo of James Harvey and family, near Philadelphia, Friday evening was a pleasant affair. About forty attended, some going out in automobiles, some in buggies and others on the cars. The program consisted of a discussion of Quaker authors, by E. A. Robb, Anna Hill and Russell Stuart. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served.

FIVE MILE ROAD BE BUILT

People Dissatisfied With Report of Viewers on Road Through Shirley—Wanted Stone.

"A raw deal" seems to be the general expression of the people on the report of the viewers appointed by the Commissioners of Henry and Hancock counties to advise on the public utility of the county road passing through Shirley, says the Shirley News. A petition containing the names of a large number of representative citizens of Brown and Greensboro townships was presented to the Commissioners a few months ago, asking that this road be improved with crushed stone from the Madison county line to the Amos Williamson corner, a distance of five miles.

The viewers admit that the road is a public utility, but recommend that the road be constructed of gravel from the Lafe Coon corner north to the county line, and from the Friends church south to Amos Williamson's, but only nine feet wide. From the Lafe Coon corner to the Friends church it will be built of crushed stone and fourteen feet wide.

People who arc in a position to know claim that the road can be constructed just as cheaply of crushed stone as gravel and cannot understand why the viewers rejected it and recommended that gravel be used instead.

The life of a crushed stone road is so'much longer than that of gravel that even if it did cost more it would be the cheaper in the long run. But it seems as though no appeal can be made from the viewers report and we will have to quietly abide by their decision.

"I Suffered Years With My Back."

Backache resulting from weak kidneys, a bad cold or other cause, usually renders the sufferer unfit for work and often results in permanent disability. "I suffered for years with my back, or kidney trouble, and have tried a number of remedies from different physicians. More than a year ago, one of our local druggists induced me to try

Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills and after using them some three months I found a decided improvement in my kidneys, and I am glad to say that I hope soon to be fully restored to health." J. P. ALLEN, Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky.

As long as pain is present in any part of the body rest is impossible and the system becoming weakened 1s exposed to any form of disease to which the sufferer may be inclined.

Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pig's by steadying the irritated nerve centers, make refreshing sleep possible, thereby enabling the body to recover lost strength. As a remedy for pain of any description Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are unsurpassed.

Sold by all druggists under a guarantee assuring the return of the price of the first box If no benefit results.

LIKE SEWING MACHINES —ALL HAVE GOOD POINTS AND IT'S HARD TO DECIDE WHICH

CAR IS THE BEST.

AGENTS HAVE THEIR INNING

When Victim of the Fever is "Ripe," and It's a Merry Race Between Agents of All Makes of Machines and All Agents

Claim the Best.

We have never had any experience in the matter of buying an automobile, on account of a very bad and continued attack of depletion of the purse, but according to a Shelby county farmer, who has gone through the "lire," it is no holiday affair, even if you have the price of a machine sewed up in your coat lining and have positively made up your mind to own one. This farmers experience, according to the Shelbyville Morning .News, was as follows: "i hud been reading the different catalogues all winter," said the farmer, "and had. my mind made up to buy a certain make of car. I imagined that all I would have to do would be to plank down my money and take my car and maybe that would have ended it if I had kept my mouth shut until I was ready to buy. But I didn't. I talked. Every agent within fifty miles of here got onto me and for a couple of weeks ma and me didn't do anything but ride. We had eight or ten hill climbing contests every day and nearly wore out the pike between our house and the nearest town. "We wouldn't any more than get back home when some other fellow would drive up and want to show us that his car would do something the other fellow's couldn't. They would pile seven or eight of us into a car built to hold four and chase us over the hills. Each fellow would try to go the other fellow one better and it was a regular circus to watch the stunts they pulled off. One fellow took his machine out into the barn yard, started it up, set the steering lever, got out and let the thing run around in a circle. 'You see,' said he, 'the wheels hit exactly in the same tracks every time. There is not another car in the world built to meet that test,.' I remarked that we were intending to buy a car that would take us somewhere, and didn't care anything about circus ring stunts, as ma and me were getting too old for that kind of play. 'Quite true,' answered the agent, 'but think what a pleasure it will be to drive a car capable of such magnificent control.' They did everything with their machines except fly, and I guess some of them would have tried to play 'Andy' over the barn if I had asked them to. When we were not climbing hills, hitting it up on the pike or doing funcy stunts in the barn lot they would be explaining parts of their machine and had me so balled up with their descriptions that I didn't imagine I could ever get one of the things to town if I had one. Ma and me hardly had time to eat our meals for a couple of weeks. We couldn't look up or down the road and not see a procession of automobiles coming. Six or seven in the barn lot at one time, waiting their turns to give us a h.ill climb or a fancy stunt. Every fellow's car had it on the other fellow's car just a little and they were all so far superior to the car I had made up my mind to buy from reading the catalogues that my ignorance of automobile construction scared me. IV i! I was gradually gett ing wise and at the end of two weeks knew pretty nearly what was meant when a certain part of a machine was referred to. But I never want to go through it again. An ordinary man's constitution wouldn't stand a second hitch." "But you finally bought a car?" we asked. "Oh, yes,'1" he replied, "I bought the make I had picked out to buy last winter when I was reading the catalogues. But I tell you that, bunch of agents came nearly not letting me. I thought at one time

I'd have to buy from all of them in order to get all the fine points."

It is worse than useless to take any medicines internally for muscular or chronic rheumatism. All I hat is needed is a tree application of Chamberlain's Liniment. For sale by all dealers.
