.The musical program by
Mian Marine Band Monday
evening in the pavillion at Chau-
jwqua park closed the week en-
artainment of the Redpath-
Horner Chautauqua Association
n this city. And with it we
look back upon a week of solid
pleasure, amusement, enlighten-
uent and genuine refined enter-
tainment. It has been that kind
if entertainment that would
lerve an important purpose in
|ny progressive town, to say
pothing of its fitness for a city
that keeps abreast with the times
is does Teague.
The Teague Chautauqua As-
lociation, early in the spring,
j>ade arrangement with the
*dpafch-Horner Chautauquas to
nish the ‘"entertainment for
summer session. It being
the- Our
■only a trial with the local fel-
iows, they did not know at that
|time just what degree of satis-
faction would result from the
reement. Now, since trial
i proven its merits, you could
rcely find a citizen hereabout
pho would not take great pleas-
s in telling you all about just
ow thoroughly these people go
nto every detail of their work,
Slow they greet their audience
I with glad surprises and instill
Imto the hearts of the people a
|lpirit of admiration and the re-
ilization of a duty well perform-
Ked.
Many expressions of praise
were heard during the last days
[of the engagement. The whole
ourteen entertainments—two
leach day for seven days—by
ipurchasingja season ticket, cost
[only $2.50, yet it was said by
[many that several of the indi-
vidual performances were worth
the price of the whole week.
people had an opportunity
to hear gifted lecturers, talented
and famous musicians, skillful
entertainers and specialists in
several lines of entertainment.
And all this at a nominal cost.
During •intermission Monday
evening Manager F. R. Beery
gave an invitation to anyone
who wished to do so to make a
talk. Mayor Alexander and
Prof. D. R. Hibbetts responded
to the invitation and both made
quite interesting talks along ap-
propriate lines. Mayor Alexan-
der was first on the floor, and
told of the influence for good
that the Chautauqua had wield-
ed, giving as an example that
during Chautauqua week there
had not been anarrest made in
the city and that perfect order
had been kept without special
effort. He heartily thanked the
public for making this possible
and gave the assurance that co-
operation had reigned through-
out the community.
Prof. David R. Hibbetts made
a lengthly talk on the different
phases of Chautauqua work, its
influence, etc. He spoke of his
appreciation of the Chautauqua
and the presence of its good
people, the confidence he had
placed in our town and people
since the very day of his arrival
here, and called attention to the
fact that the good influence of
the Chautauqua upon the town
and its institutions would be felt
long after the memories of the
individual participants will have
been forgotten.
Manager Beery, who preceded
the two speakers above named
mentioned the fact that the con-
tract between the association he
t:
represents and the local associa-
tion had only fifteen signatures*
of local citizens. The Chautau-
qua spirit had not been awaken-
ed at that time and it seemed a
grave responsibility. The con-
tract called for a guarantee of
the sale of~$l,500.00 worth of
season tickets, hence it can be
seen that each of these fifteen
men must take the responsibility
of $100.00 worth of loyalty to
his town and community. He
cited the fact that to the new
contract for the 1914 Chautau-
qua more than sixty names had
been signed and the list was
still growing. He assured' the
audience that the talent for next
year wbuld be even better than
was furnished this year and
would insure a atill greater de-
gree of satisfaction. Rev. Beery
seems peculiarly qualified for
the management of Chautauqua
work and endeared himself into
the hearts of our people to such
a degree that he has been asked
for as manager, of the 1914
Chautauqua. '"*’
Complimenting Teague citi*
zens upon their efforts, Mr.
Beery said that in all of his ex-
perience with Chautauqua work
he had not found a better park
nor more beautiful grounds than
we have in Teague. He added
that the entertainers, many of
whom had been on the Chautau-
qua platform in almost every
state in the Union were surprised
to find such beautifpl grounds
and handsome buildings as
awaited them in Teague.
' Thus a successful Chautauqua
assembly has been made a part
of Teague history and the way
has been paved for the perpetua-
tion of the annual assembly.
With the preliminaries already
complete for another assembly
it is looked forward to as the
best one yet. Our people-
townspeople, farmers and all
—are becoming more and more
interested in Chautauqua work
as they become familiar with it
and the work as applied to
Teague is assuming greater pro-
portions.
The following resolutions were
offered by the Chautauqua board-
of directors and enthusiastically
adopted by the people:
1. That the first Chautauqua
held by the Redpath-Horner
Chautauqua association at Teague
Texas, was a pronounced success.
2. That the success of the
Chautauqua was largely due to
able and efficient service render-
ed by our manager, F. R. Beery,
and his able corps of assistants,
Miss Cecile McKay, junior super-
visor; M. W. Sheffield, ath-
letic director; C. R. Chappel,
foreman; Harry Shopbell and
Clarence Wesley.
3. And since we have entered
a contract for another Chautau-
qua a year hence we respectfully
ask that the manager, F. R.
Beery, and his assistants be sent
us another year.

Nothing is lost upon the man bent upon growth and progress.
Those individuals who follow the advertising of the Farmers & Merchants State Bank from week to week are
gathering information which will serve them at unexpected moments in unforeseen days.
The possession of a bank account together with the knowledge that comes to one in the ordinary transactions
ith his bank, is in itself, a liberal business education.
yk
It is therefore apparent that the young man or woman who banks here, will profit from the experience and
abits formed.
