The era ter tain meet given by Mt. Polk
•Miller last night at Wesleyan College wa*
enjoyed t>y all who heard Mm, and he
brilliantly sustained his reputation as a
charming reader of dialect stories. Mr.
, Polk Miller is a oersonul friend of Mr.
Harry Stillwell Edwards, who introduced
him to the audience in a characteristically
unique and delightful way. Mr. Miller is
a musician as well as a reader and these
talents combined make him a genius at
giving pleasure and as charming socially
a« he is on the stage. After his audience at
rhe college had been well entertained, he
was a guest of Mrs. Marsh Johnston, at
whose home the Progressive Eucher Club
had met. There he added greatly to the
evening's pleasure, and made a friend and
admirer of each member of the club. The
sincerest compliment to anyone is the de
sire to eee him again, and by this test Mr.
Polk Miner’s visit to IMac-on was a great
success, for undoubtedly he will be wel
comed with delight here at any time.

The first exhibition of the Macon Brush
and Pencil dub, which took place yester
day in Miss Beceie Rogers’ studio, was the
pleasantest occasion of the year to lovers
of art and pretty pictures, and public ap
preciation was evidenced by the number of
visitors during the day.
Among the pictures that attracted at
■ tentions and admiration were those by Miee
Luolse (Rogers, whose talent is too well
known to need commendation. One of her
pictures was a very dainty study of Miss
■ 'Emmie Carter, who is well remembered
as an attractive visitor to Macon, and an
other one, a study of a “Cow Boy,” which
■ Miss Rogers did 'while studying In New
York, waa remarkably fine.
This talented young aritst, like most of
those who exhibited their work yesterday,
began her training under Miss IMason, of
(Wesleyan Colege, and since then has
| studied under Mr. Chase and othr promi
" nrnt New York artists. From all of these
she received unusual encouragement, and
her success has ‘been the source of much
pleasure to the many friends of this lovely
girl, who .so happily combines personal at
tractiveness with intellectual power.
IMrs. J. (Marshall Johnston entertained
the ’Progerasive Eucher Club last night at
her beautiful home, Hill (Crest. The prizes
were delivered by Major J. F. Hanson,
and were as follows: Eadies’ first prize, a

can; second prize, an American eouvenir
spoon, won by Mrs. William 'H. Felton.
Gentlemen’s first prize, a silver and cut
glass cigar holder, won by Mr. Jaques;
second prize, a paper cutter, won (by Colo
nel Seisel. The guests of the club last
evening were Colonel and Mrs. Seisel, Mrs.
(Dogan and General and Mi's. Wilson. Gen
eral Wilson took the occasion to make an
informal but very complimentary speech,
expressing his appreciation of the social
courtesies extended to the members of his
staff and- their families since their coming
io IMacon. An elegant supper was served,
and those 'present were further entertained
(by Mr. (Polk iMilter, the special guest of
honor.

•Judge C. C. Kohlsaat, Chicago, one of the
most distinguished members of the Illinois

PLEASANT MARRIAGE
At the Home of the Bride in Twiggs Coun
ty Yesterday.
Yesterday at 1 o’clock, at the home of
the bride’s mother, Mrs. Fannie Jones, in
Twiggs county, Mr. J. Norwood Davis and
Miss Mary Lizzie Davis were united in
marriage. The wedding was a most pleas
ant affair and the happy couple received
ntfany handsome presents from their ad
miring friends. The bride is one of
Twiggs county’s fairest and most charm
ing daughters, while Mr. Mr. Davis is
well known in Macon for his sterling
character and noble qualities. He is a
trusted employe of the -Southwestern
branch of the Central railroad and a
nephew of Messrs. G. M. and W. A. Davis,
two of Macon’s prominent citizens.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis will for the present
make their home in Montgomery, Ala.,
where they will take with them the best
wishes of their many friends for their
life’s success.
MARIE WAINRIGHT.
Her Performance in “Shall We Forgive
Her?”
In his pleasing and wholesome drama
“Shall we Forgive Her” Mr. Jacob Litt
has succeeded in giving to the theatre
going public something refreshing and
effective in the almost uninterrupted effort
to cater to the grosser and more salacious
taste of the present day. But while the
play itself affords the opportunity it is
only fair to say that without so excel
lent a cast as that which handled it last
night it would quickly pall upon an audi
ence. Where the players fit bhe play and
the play fits the players, however, as was
the case at the Academy in last night’s
performance, the whole production is
pleasing and effective to a degree.
Miss Marie Wainwright is an old star in
a new setting and she shines as brightly
as ever. Her lustre is undimmed by the
years which sit so lightly on her and
never has she appeared to better advan
tage, never has she thrown as much of
real human nature into her work as in
the character of Grace, a woman whose
life is seared with the greatest sorrows
that woman knows, but who with all holds
the sympathy and the respect of an audi
ence. -Miss Wainwright while the centre
piece in the cast is magnificently support
ed Care and good judgment is shown in
the selection of that support and each
character serves well to make the strength
of the whole.
The story is plain and the plot is pos
sible. There is pathos and bathos, tears
and laughter on the stage and before the
curtain. Both come from touches of na
ture that “make the whole world kin”
and both, so far as the audience is con
cerned, are genuine.
The audience last night was thoroughly
well pleased. It was a good audience too,
so far as the box office is concerned, and
it is safe to say that considering the fact
that perhaps the upstairs majority might
have been expected to prefer something a
little more boisterous, the interest was
sustained from the commencement of the
first act and the applause was genuine
and liberal, including a recall for the
whole company at the end of the third
act.
A few more such plays handled as effec
tively as was that of last night by Miss
Wainwright and her very excellent sup
port would do the stage, so far as the
Southern circuit is concerned, a world of
good.

a cold indicate a tendency toward pneu
