Lincoln Chautauqua Opens in Rensselaer Today.

The full program of the Lincoln Chautauqua, which opens in Rensselaer today, is published elsewhere in this issue of The Democrat. In addition to Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, who will speak each morning during the chautauqua, today’s program proper, which begins at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon, will start off with a concert by the University Players, followed by a lecture by Thomas McCleary, subject, “The Heart of the Nation.” Tonight’s program will be opened by the University Players, followed by Thomas McCleary 'in his humorous lecture, “The Mission of Mirth.” Sunday’s program will start off in the afternoon with a concert by the Bunnell-Weller Company, followed with an entertainment by Tom Corwine of Kentucky, the noted imitator. Sunday night will be music and pictures by the Bunnell-Weller Company and an address by Gov. Malcom R. Patterson of Tennessee. The Royal Black Hussar Band, one of the big attractions of the chautauqua, will be with us next Tuesday. This chautauqua should be made a permanent thing with us every year, and in order to make it so it is necessary that it be liberally patronized by our people. Season tickets are on sale at different places in town and may also be had at The Democrat office at the regular price of $1.50 for the entire session. Turn out today and tomorrow and help give the opening sessions a good attendance.
