Whether Newnan will or will
not have a Chautauqua this sum
mer is a matter of concern to some
of our citizens at the present time.
The matter is being dismissed in
many quarters, and there is n va
riety of opinions on the subject.
While it is true that a Chautau
qua might not prove a success in a
financial way, it is unquestionable
that a series of entertainments
such ns lias been provided in for
iner times euu not help but lie
beneficial. It can not be doubted
that a Chautauqua fosters a spirit
of social and intellectual progress,
ami, furthermore, helps to relieve
the tedium or the summer mouths.
