NOTE FRO* WORTH COUNTY.
Bon JohaBOdomCor the Legislature
Wabwice, Ga., June 21st, 1880.
Editors Albany News:
in casting about for a suitable person
to represent Worth county in the next
Legislature no one appears to me to be
more fit than Hon. John B. Odum, of
this District. He is in every respect a
representative man, able, patriotic, a true
Democrat, well known and highly re
spected all over the county, and the in
terests of Worth could not be trusted in
safer hands. Warwick District would be
glad to see him put in nomination.
Yours truly,
Wabwick,
Death of Eugene Mclntosli.
We regret to announce the death of
Eugene Welch, infant eon of Mr. U. M.
McIntosh, which occurred in this city
yesterday. We deeply sympathize with
the affiicted parents in their bereavement.
Albany looms up in tlie future as a
great manufacturing City. ' How far off
that future is, depends ulion the effort
that her people make to bring into prom
inence her manifold advantages'. If the
citizens of Albany would make an effort
to get capital to come here, there is
scarcely a doubt that It could be easily
done.

erty; taking advantage of tier -husband’s
absence and supposed death to Ingratiate
herself into tlie graces of an old and
wealthy, hut sjmple-mlndcd and affec
tionate nobleman; the sudden and unex
pected reappearance qf her first husband;
Iris bitter reproaches and threats of ex
posure; her .haughty pride and fierce
anger at his return and the prospect of
her humiliation and disgrace; the at
tempted and, as she supposes successful,
murder of her real husband, and her ef
forts toconceal it; her rage and fear
when she finds out that her secret is
known; the humiliating means to which
she descends in order to silence the only
Witness to her crime; his power over her;
the hittqr agony of suspense; the chafing
of wonmled pride and baffled revenge;
the wily scheming and plausible false-
Jjgods with which she endeavors to cover,
tip hat secret; the last great crime by
which, in her extremity of anger and
hate, she endeavors to freo herself from
the surveillance of a watchful eye and a
relentless presence, which ever holds
above her the fearful shadow of her
crime and the dread possibility of expo
sure; and finally, tlie weaving about her
of the meshes of sin, each succeeding one
strengthening the other, until at the last,
foiled in tier schemings, worn out with
anxiety, tortured l>y fear, haunted by re
morse, her reason wanders and Death
comes to end the eventful and tragic life
—all these make up a drama that holds
erioifaiiied tlie thoughts and feelings of
the audience.
Of course the central figure of tlie
whole is Lady Auilley. About her clus
ters the interest, mystery and charm of
the play. Such a character is indeed
difficult to portray. It requires a won-
tfcrfui power of protean change and fa
cial expression. At one time ail smiles
anil adulations, at another dark-browed
and resolute as Lady Macbeth, it is a
character that calls for histrionic ability
of a very high order. lu this persona
tion Miss Gdrtrude Gunn attained a real
istic perfection possible to few amateurs
that we have seen. Her cbuceptien of
the intricate character was most excel
lent. Her-manner is remarkably easy
and natural for an amateur; her portray
al of tlie difficult and varied emotions
ami passions of the part was powerful
and thrilling, and the entire personation
was one of great power and equal to that
of almost ally professional actress that
has ever appeared upon our boards. In
her appearance lrst night she w on, by
her beauty, grace and splendid acting,
additional laurels to the many she al
ready wears.
Mr. Arthur Hood made a very natural
Sir Michael. His appearance and man
ner excellently suited the character he
undertook.
Mr. George McDonald sustained most
creditably this character of Robert And-
ley, the nephew of Sir Michael, and one
of tlie avengers that shadowed and baf
fled tlie prouii and cruel Lady.Auilley.
Mr. Shaler Hillyer, a yonng gentleman
of excellent reputation as a iiterateur, as
George Taliyiioys—the ibrsaken husband
returned to toll bitter truths to his faith
less wife—acted his part very ably.
Miss Ida Hamilton’s acting was very
spirited and Natural. As the elderly
young lady, on the anxious bench, the
suspicious and not too affectionate step
daughter, she^was indeed capital.
“Phoebe Mitrks” was well rendered by
Miss Alice Brimberry, who brought out
forcibly the pathos and clinging tender-
nesa of woman’s love and fidelity, even
Ijp.an unworthy and unkind husband.
Xextto that of Lady Audley, the char
acter around whom centers more, per
haps, of interest tj£an any other,' is that
of Luke Marks, the Vagabond, the sole
witness of Lady Audley’s attempt to
murder,her husband, and the presence
of idl most hated and feared by her.—
Luke is a poor, drunken good for naught,
but withal possessed of a keen insight
into human nature. His gloating
exultation, conscious power and bully
ing authority, inspired by his possession
of Lady Audley’s secret, are all fine pha
ses of human nature, anil require no
mean talent for their portrayal. We do
notexaggerate when we say that Mr. W.
J. Barry’s personatton of this character
Is almost beyond criticism. In every
scene he was true to life, and his repre
sentations of tlie character were in every
respect most admirable and powerful.
Tlie episode of the evening’s perform

thb start.
Early yesterday morning a six-seated
carry-oil was sccu to depart hurriedly
from the city, carrying 1,200 pounds
ayoidupois. As our experienced jebu
drove away several of our citizens raised
tiie cry “something in the wind.” Wheth
er tills remark was intended for a joke,
or whether upon our return we shotfld
bring back “something - in the wind”—
rain. We only say with the Spaniard
Quen Seba, or in the vernacular, wlio
knows?
After n drive of about three hours we
reached our place, of destination, where
had assembled nearly three hundred peo
ple in order to discuss- the pleasures of
the palate anil to talk over tlie matters of
tlie crops and the live issues of the day.
Upon reaching the place we found many
enjoying the light fantastic toe—some In
dulging in social chat while others were
discussing the political issues of the day.
THK SUMMONS TO DINNER.
1 As the euu reached the meridinn a gen
tle summons was given to gather around
the festive board. Our pen fails to give
a true and graphic description of all tlie
good things that were artistically display
ed upon that table.
Suffice it to say that the barbecue was
one which would have put to shame the
renowned Arehestratns, the inventor of
made * dishes. One of the most gratify
ing evidences was a marked improve
ment in tlie cullinary art (which should
be considered one of the greatest compli
ments that could be paid a people). We
need development of the palate. Food
makes brawn and brain. What we eat
to» large extent we are. Cooks are in a
certain sort the creators of nations. We
maybe much more fastidious as to our
viands for generations to come, and yet
clearly escape danger. The physical man
is correlative to the intellectual and spirit-
nal man. The loftiest heroism has its
source at. aud is regulated by, the dinner
table. Think what' America and Ameri
cans may accomplish relieved of their
dyspepsia.
POST PBANDIAL NOTES.
After the inner man had been satisfied
by this magnificentand wellarrangeddin
ner the lovers of Terpsichore cleared the
dancing platform, and the mazy dance
was indulged in uhtiU late in the day.—
Atone time;we counted forty-five cou
ples on the floor, and had it not have
been for the masterly finish in which our
friend George Collier called the figures,
chaos wofuid have prevailed,
During an intermission of several mo
ments Cspt. Weston, by loud and solici
tous invitations to appear, came
forth and made a few appropriate
■remarks relative tocrops, and the marked
1 improvements instil matters pertaining to 1
agricultural development of the people of
Worth and Mitchell counties. Mr. ’Welch
also made a few remarks which were re
ceived with Special thanks. He reverted
to the apparent progress of the people,
and endeavored to show them how they
could make their homes beautiful by pay
ing a little more,' attention to the cultiva
tion of the aesthetic nature. Mr. Welch
also went on to remark that we have here
tee elements of a great country, a people
bom and reared imbibing the true spirit
of hospitality, land in abundance ready
forthe seed, and a country eminently fa
vored a thousand fold in' all that can
make its Inhabitants happy and prosper
ous., _ v * ’ ' “
HOMEWARD BOUND.
The barbecue was ended by one of
Straus’ delightful waltzes. After re
peated calls by the Captain and George
the Albany delegation reluctantly yield
ed to their earnest so|icitati8ns and by
six o’clock we were on the road home,'
after spending a most delightful and hap
py time of social-.-interoourse with the
good people of Worth and Mitchell, and
enjoying one of thejbest dinners ever our
good fortune to partake of.
Our friend C. made, the voyage home
especially attractive together with our
sober and sedate friend F. by many picas'
■ant stories a la Mark Twain. The Cap
tain lent dignity to the occasion, and
when, perchance, some disputed point
came up lie was called upon as referee.
Our inimitable friend, George, kept us in
the best of spirits, and when he gave ns
‘Hamlet’s Soliloquy”—we could not re
strain ourselves, but gave vent to our
feelings by long, loud and continued
laughter.
The monotony of a long and dusty ride
was also relieved by some choice selec
tions of song, rendered by our clever
companion, Jack, whose voice is one of
magical sweetness. Ills characteriza
tions of plantation songs were inimitable,
and kept the Tarty in continuous laugh
ter.
As the hour hand marked 8:30 we
reached tlie bridge, after having spent a
day of social reunions and frolicksoine
ileasurc among the piney woods of
kind . o

Db. C. J. Mofkf.it—Dear Sir—Justice
to you demands that I should give yon
lily cxiierience with your excellent med
icine, Teethina. Our little girl, just thir
teen years old had much trouble teething.
Every remedy was exhausted in tlie
shape of prescriptions from our fondly
physician. Her bowels continued to
pass off pure blood, and burning fever
continued for days at a time. Iter life
was almost dispaired of. Her mother
determined to try Teethina, and in a
day or two, there was a great change—
new life had returned—the bowels were
nearly regular, and thanks to Teethina,
the little babe is now doing well.
Yours, etc. D. W.McVVKB,
Editor-and properitor TUskegee (Ala.)
