"Sunshine" Hawks, although he has been here several days, has failed to receive his trunk, which was shipped from Ottawa, 111. Investigation showed that it has gone to Richmond, Va., and the railroad company is tracing It.

Richmond, Ky., Richmond, Va., Richmond, Tex., Richmond. Vt., or Richmond, Ind.?" She said, "Which is the cheapest?" Speakers Should Register. For the purpose of eliminating difficulty in finding speakers scheduled to appear at the Chautauqua, "Sunshine" Hawks, who for thirty-flve years has been in Chautauqua work, suggests that all persons should register at a certain place upon their arrival in the city. Many Richmond persons know lecturers and Chautauqua workers and desire to meet them before they appear for their program, but are unable to do so, except after much questioning and trouble.
