At this late day it is much better to cancel the Chautauqua en tertainment. as it would be impossibe in the short time left to make the necessary arrangements and give the proper advertising. As to whether we will have a Chautauqua next season will depend upon whether the people are interested enough in it to take hold of the enterprise: Lincoln, Neb.. July 23, 1908— Dear Sir: We are sorry that it becomes our duty to inform you that the Reform Chautauqua Association has found it necessary to suspend work for this season. This decision has been made only after finding our selves forced to face with many embarrasments that cannot be over come for the present. The floods and consequent delays in transportation: the sickness and death of our Supt. Rev. J. S. Tussey’s child and his absence from the work, and the sick ness of our treasurer, lias placed us in a position where it is impossible to continue, as men to take up this work are not to be fonnd. The money advanced by towns where Chautau quas are not held will be returned and all indebtedness will be settled in due time. We begin at once our preparation for the coming year and trust we will be able to hold a Chau tauqua in your town next year. The Assemblies this year were eminently successful from a popular point of view. Every Assembly at which the matter was' submitted to a vote of the local Association, voted to take the Reform Chautauqua next year. Some went so far as to offer to guar antee $500.00 in order to secure a re turn of the Chautauqua. We hope to see you in due time and arrange for next session of the Assembly. Yours truly, Rev. J. S. Tubsey, Supt. Amos Vance, Sec’y. Special Bargains This Week 100 PIECES OF CHINA To be GIVEN AWAY FREE. We give one piece of China with or.e 25c package of Coffee, the Coffee is good grade.
