Glen Harvey. The name of the officiating clergyman who tied the nuptial knot pronouncing the ceremony which united the lives of these estimable young people was not learned.

The bride is well and favorably known in this community, having gone to the Academy two years from which school she graduated to her honor. She taught school near Greensburg last winter.

She is fully capable of filling the home which she adorns. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

Everyone in Fowler has reason to feel proud of the chautauqua session which has just closed. It has indeed been a success, and it is needless to say will prove a benefit to the community as a result of the inspiration and the encouragement it has given to the people. The citizens of Fowler should feel gratified to know that they can support an institution of such an uplifting nature; and one of which will certainly be for the betterment of our town. We owe a great deal to the local committee who by their able management, enthusiasm and hard work have given the people of Meade County the opportunity of enjoying the excellent programs that have been offered during the last five days. The people of Fowler and surrounding community, and those of neighboring towns, are to be commended for their hearty co-operation with the local committee which they have shown by their excellent attendance and evident interest.

The crowds have been large at each session. Chautauqua opened Saturday afternoon with a prelude given by the Jess Pugh Company. Mr. Pugh in his humorous impersonations was most pleasing. He is one of the best in his line of entertainment.

He was ably assisted by Miss Lawson, flutist and mezzo- soprano, and by Miss Clark, colotoure soprano, also by Mr. Van Aiken violinist. The same company gave the program Saturday evening. It was appreciated by all who heard it. Dr.

Aydelott in his lecture Saturday. afternoon on''The Man of the Hour' gave us one of the best numbers of our entire program. By his sincerety of manner and his earnestness of purpose, he quite captured the hearts of his listeners. He endeavored to show that man must have heart as well as brain, that the impulses of the heart should be given expression and appreciation be shown while there is opportunity. Mr.

Eccles, assisted by the four Girls' and Mr. Madden, pianist, charmed the music that gathered in the chautauqua tent both Sunday afternoon and evening. The sacred and semisacred music they gave was of the bighest quality. The program was nicely varied but whether the music was one of our best sacred classics or some of the loved old hymns, the manner of its rendition was equally meritorious and pleasing, meeting with the hearty approval of the attentive and sympathetic audience. Mr.

Eccles gave some well chosen selections. Harold Morton Kramer was the lecturer Sunday afternoon and evening. Sunday afternoon his subject was or Nowhere" and he treated it in such a way that it was very interesting as well as instructive. His theme Sunday evening was the "Civic Problems of the America of Mr. Kramer has had practical, active work in civic reform, therefore is especially to handle this subject.

Monday the Kvello-Cedargreen Company gave the preludes to both the afternoon and evening programs. Miss Kvello is an artist of various capabilities, being pianist, vocalist and impersonator. That she was pleasing was shown by the applause each number elicited and to which she in every instance SO cheerfully responded. Miss Cedargreen is one of the country's greatest young violinists and the skillful manner in which she handled the bow to produce the greatest effects from the instrument she played showed that the hand that was at work was that of an. artist.

Monday afternoon we had the great good fortune to hear Mrs. Nan Sperry in her lecture; "What is the matter with the American Parent?" Mrs. Sperry is particularly well fitted to handle this subject as she is assistant Labor Commissioner of Missouri and has under her jurisdiction, every working girl in that state, all of which affords her opportunity to see the need of real and wise fathers and mothers and also the result of incompetent parenthood. By her true sympathy and her sweet charming manner she held her audience with her through every minute of the time she was speaking and left with each father and -mother, and each son and daughter, the desire to better fulfill his or her duties. The tent was packed again Monday night to hear ITal wood Robert Manlove, the "'Man of Many Faces'.

With his humor and wit and his caricature--like impersonations- the was successful in his efforts to bring smiles to the faces of those who listened to him. The program Tuesday afternoon. was given by the "Old Home Sing. They very charmingly, in quaint costumes, entertained the audience by singing the old famil. iar songs.

In spite of the rain storm Tuesday evening, a large crowd gathered to bear Ralph Parlette. No one there had any reason to regret that he had come, after having heard the unexcelled talk that was given. The philosophy and purpose of life, he made so clear and plain that even a child could understand. Every individual was made to feel that he had a place to fill as great as that of another; that he should endeavor to grow to fill his place, and render the greatest service of which he is able. Ralph Parlett's lecture alone, was, worth the price of a season ticket.

Those who attended Wednesday afternoon and evening, heard two highly clasical concerts given by the Italian marine band. Before this music in the evening Ned Woodman gave some pleasing crayon pictures and The chautauqua program for this season is over; the lecturers and entertainers have gone; but besides entertaining us so much they gave, us thots and inspirations that are still with us. If only a small per cent of the good things are assimilated by the boys and girls, and community in general, we should feel that we were fully repaid for all the cost. We are glad to announce that Fowler will have the chautauqua again next year. On the Domestic Voltage.
