A NEW DARKEY MUSIC BY THE NASHVILLE SERENADERS And Yet There is a Retaining of the Sweet Melodies of the Old South. The Nashville Serenaders is the opening musical attraction on our ; Chautauqua this summer. The old southern darkey melodies ha'<- always been popular. There have been jubilee singers on the Chautau qua platform almost since there was a Chautauqua. They sang plantation melodics and songs of the old darkey camp-meeting And although there was much in the *~*”g*rr.r The Nashville Serenaders music of the southern darkey of a score of years ago that appealed to pt>! :lar audiences because of its na tive richness, its popularity might soon have died out. Thr jubilee company was first a •y and "it took." But there was a lack or training apparent. And as is the case in the presenting of music : from year tc year whether at a Chau i tau 'tua or at any other time, stand ards must constantly be raised, bo ] cause tastes are being educated to a better and better music. And the old jubilee company's lack of training failed them. Now— —we have a new jubilee company. They have been trained the mem bers of this company were selected from the largest and strongest negro schools of the Southland where large and powerful conservatories have been built up and the negro has had the adrantr.se of a refining and cultivat ing influence. Raiuh Dunbar is the organizing genius at the head of the department of or - lization for the Redpath Ly ceum Bureau. He is the organizer of the Nashville Ser< naders, and their success has been I phenomenal in the presenting of a ; new class of darkey music, retaining the f» pt melodies of the old South. In their ten weeks' engagement with 1 the Redpath-Horner Chautauquas, this company makes ten Sunday appear ances. This Sunday program is made up altogether of sa red music. They will be here one day only. The East Waking Up. Even the old staid East has become I alive to the Chautauqua's worth. The - Chautauqua was started in the East fifty years ago on old Chautauqua | Lake in New York. But it was the one Eastern Chautauqua that amounted to much. It is the West | that has made the Chautauqua what it is today. The State of Nebraska . alone has eighty-one summer assem j blies. The Kedpath-Horner Chautau i quas number one hundred and thirty • five, all between the Missouri and the | Rockies; there are more than sixty j Red path-Vaster Chautauquas between | the Missouri and the Mississippi, and ! the Red path Lyceum Bureau manages : thirty-si* Chautauquas out of Chicago. • That makes a total of two hundr^l l and forty. This summer a Chautauqua system has been started in the East, which already has a healthy growth. FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF F M.

A week of letting-up in your work—of mixing recreation and care—is none too much. * If you are a busy person, you need the inspiration of this Chautauqua. You will get a thousand new ideas, and old ideas you will see in a new way. It's worth what it costs—15 cents a num ber—IF you have a season ticket—worth much to you and every member of the ' family. Get the tickets and all go. Chautauqua August 17, to 21, Inclusive Loup City to get Ganada-to Gulf Line President Beush&usen, of the Com mercial Club, has received a letter from the promotors of the Ganada to-the-Gulf Line to be placed before the club to ask for the following information: General statistics and information about Sherman county and Loup City. Plat showing the best route for railroad grade from either Pleasanton or Ravenna to Loup City and from Loup City northward to a point on the north side of Davis Creek town ship in Valley county, sav at the northwest corner of Sec. 3-17-14 and the northeast corner of Sec. 4-17.14, giving special refereuae to an easy grade and slight curvature and nota tions. or a letter stating why it is the best route. The above is asked for to be made into exhibits and wi th a large amount of similar information forwarded to London. I he projectors write: Loup City is almost the only ciiy between Hutch ison. Kas., and Carrington N. Dak., that we have not had the pleasure of meeting the Commercial Club, but when we passed through your city we were in somewhat of a hurry and only met two or three of your gentle men- Mr. L. Hansen and yourself. We are trying to get this road built and believe we now have the money secured. We have just returned from Carrington. The London men were highly pleased with the entire route. They are about now arriving in Eng land and expect to return iu August with.engineers. The route you ad vise should be the best obtainable and the one that will stand the test when tried out by the engineers. Keep in mind that the desire is to find the best route from Kearney to Loup City and Ord by the most direct route. Who can read between the lines and fail to see that Loup City has the best of chances for being on the line of the new proposed C&nada-to the-Gulf road? The prohibition party is going to beat Teddy Roosevelt's new party to it, by capturing the name “progres sive" as their new party title. The Fourth of 1912 I This year's glorious fourth was re I eeived in this section with a goodly q uantity of moisture, enthusiasm and happy feeling. The day opened tine, and because of the rains proceeding on a couple of days, everybody wel comed the day with gladness and it seemed was to continue one round of pleasure. But the people made no reckoning with Jupiter Pluvius, who .without consulting the people, con cluded to give them one of his glori ous downpours. Old J. P. waited till the afternoon, when eveybody was everywhere he, she or it wished to go in their holiday attire and good feel ings. when he opened his flood gates and let 'er went with a good and plenty. jenner s rark openea eariy ior uie big crowds, which came in on the early trains, and wagons, autos and otlier conveyances, filling our streets and tiie boulevard leading to the park and tiie day continued in its best be haviour till about the middle of the afternoon, when a heavy cloud came up from tiie south and shortly aiter gave old nature and humanity at the park and all who were not fortunate enough to get under shelter, a splen did drenching, splendid because it provided the thirsty earth with a moisture at once welcome by both drenched and dry humanity. The ball game between Loup City and Ashton second nines had reached the second half of the sixth inning and stood 3 to 3, when just as Loup City had scored one inuing the rain came, the game was called off and the home team was declared w inner in as pretty and ciosely contested game as bad been seen on the Loup City diamond. And you should have seen the crowd at the finish—dainty white dresses bedraggled, hats ruined, fine clothes soaked, shoes resembling mud scows— those of the male suasion, we mean, stalking through the moist mixture of clay and water—oh 'twas fine. Down in the park, the vaudeville show had just gotten under full sway the booths were parting the kids from their money, glee and merri ment in full tune, when all at once a change came over the spirit of their day dreams of a big day and the clouds opened in full force. However a half hour later Old Sol came out, began his drying process and by night fall the park was again alive to the festivities of the day and brought a good finish of fireworks and the dance and the amusement features were keept going, the latter lasting till midnight and after. The fireworks i were the best ever given by Mr. Jen ner, and equal in number and splen dor to those given at Grand Island the same day. The park was beau tifully lighted with electricity fur nished by our elecric lighting plant, and while the whole day was a losing financial game to the park rnanage mant because of the rain god, yet it did not deter Mr. Jenner from giving the patrons of his fine resort every thing possible on the program. Owing to the numerous Fourth of J uly celebrations over the county and in other towns, the crowd in Loup City was correspondingly smaller. Comstock caught a goodly number of our town people, because our first baseball team was on there to beat Arcadia, which they did to a nicetv, winning by the general slaughter of the Arcadia innocents by a score of 15 to 0. This took the Arcadians to Comstock, who usually come to Loup city to celebrate, besides taking away so many of our own people. Numerous celebrations throughout Sherman county also depleted the crowd here, Wiggle Creek haring one i on which was a success, despite the i fact that they caught the same big i rain which visited this city. Up at Baillie grove the celebraters were more fortunate as they escaped our big rain, it not reaching beyond the river on the west. They report a fine time there. Grand Island failed to take a large number from here, only some 31 round trip tickets being sold, but the extra train up from there made up for the loss from Rockville, Boelusand other points nearer the Island. Those who went down, however, report a big time. Only one accident has ceen report ed as occuring at Loup City the Fourth, being caused by the heavy wind attachment to the storm blow ing out the temporary board front of Makowski’s new building, injuring the back of Mr. John Trompke, a far mer living down near Austin, who was struck by the falling boards in passing the building. However, he was not seriously injured. There were bo other accidents from any of the nearby celebrations so far as’ re ported. All in ail, the day was a most en joyable one in the main, and will pass into history as the most safe and sane on record. Notes of New Road A mass meeting of citizens was called at Minden last week to further consider the proposition of the Kear ney & Beloit railroad and in getting them to change their survey and en er Minden. The question of getting this road is one that Minden regards with a good deal of importance. The Broken Bow people and officials of the Commercial club there are looking up the question of the pro posed north and south line for which Kearney recently voted bonds. The Broken Bow people are asking for in formation on the project, and if the road is to be built, will work to se cure it for their town. The promoters of the Canada-to-tbe Gulf railroad were in Ainsworth last week. A mass meeting of the citizens met at the Commercial Club rooms to hear from the promoters and what the road proposes to da A committee was appointed to investigate the proposed route ana see what could be done to interest officials in running the rend through Brown county. — — - * BHJtOMMBhHanuaHHHMBnMMHMi f\>%vwvvvv*vv vvvvvvvvvvvv -4 ^ Httractm Single Rarness f J i i bought at the Right Place ^ 5 Is on< «»f the most attractive parts of a stylish rig.
