A1K EVENING IN FAIRY LAND.
A Brilliant Bnurtainraent.
Last evening at Salaton Hall, tho en
tertainment given by the Willing Work
ers and children of the Mulberry Steet
Methodist church passed off in a most
ot arming manner, and [was pronounced
by all who winessed it, a grand buiccw.
The audience which assembled to witness
the entertainment, embraced many
of tbe best citisena ot Maoon, and was
large and appreciative.
The Hall below stairs was packed,
with a lair sprinkling in the gallery.
The audienoe was In perfect rapport with
the little performers on the stage. Every
act was enthusiastically applauded, and
each hit made by the juvenileo grace-
folly acknowledged.
The acting of the children on the stage
was all that could have been desired,
and each one acquitted himself or her
self In a most creditahlo manner, while
the general effect waa brilliant and un
surpassed by any amateur exhibition
given in the Hall in years.
Tho first thing cn the programme was
a tableau, “The marriage of Pooahontas,”
by a number of young ladies and gentle
men. Tho scene waa admirably arranged
tbo costumes of tho aborigines were
splendidly gotten np, and the scene pre
sented picturesque and beautiful.
Pocahontas was charmingly represented
by Miss Gora Nutting, and Bolfe by Mr
B, 8. Saulabury.
The tableaux “Cinderella,” in four
scenes, representing the stepmother and
sisters dressed for the ball, Cinderella
and tho godmother, the ball-room, and
trying on the slipper, were indeed artis-
tio and beautiful.
The ball room scene was brilliant.
The part of Cinderilla was impersonated
by little Miss Mary Plant, who looked
very lovely. Master Floyd Schofield took
tho character of tho Prince, and also did
wall. Tho others in the scene were:
Stopmotbor, Maggie Brown; Godmoth
er, Waltie Rogers; step sisters, Madgie
Lon Roberts and Annie Barden; Ring,
Johnnie Barke;Queen, Mamie Light-
foot; guests, Rath Dnnwodv, Lillio Bre
mer, Minnie .Bice, Katy Brown, Hattie
Rogers, Nettie Newman, Helen Robs,
Bok Rogers, Emory Winship, Johnson
Clancy, Bob Lee, Sam Dnnlap, Sam
Palmer, Willie Martin, Horry LIpford,
Mallard Wrigley, Btchard Hatchings,
All were attired in fancy costume, and
the soane looked liko a real glimpse into
fairyland itself had been granted the
audience.
A dramatization of Hiawatha by Miss
8. 8. Rice, of the Ballimoro Elocutionist,
was of a higher order and seemed to havo
been well received by the audience. Tho
soenes presented included tho oourtBhip
of Hiawatha and tho death of Minahaha
Tho dialogue parts wero elegantly sus
tained. Hiawatha was most admirably
done by Mr. John T. Boifenillct. His
appearanco was in strict taste aid his
lines wero rendered with great expres
sion, truo pathos and remarked effect.
Mias Nettie Dnnlap, as Minahaha, won
unqualified applause by tho natural and
beautiful manner in whieh she acted tho
part.
Miss Hottio Clark mado a fine No-
komis and entered fully into tho part, re
citing her lines with clear enunciation
and beautiful elocution. Daring the
scenes Miss Tochio Williams.as an Indian
maiden, sang tho song of Minahaha in a
clear and sweet voice, winning aheaity
ronnd ef applauso.
Hr. Willie Bass, as tho arrow makor,
did well.
Tho descriptivo parts between tho
scenes wero recited by Mr. J. H. Jones.
The other Indiana wero Misses Bessie
Begets, Cora Nutting, Iaa Singleton,
Clara Dunlap, Messrs. George Ford,
Charles Nutting, Charlio Martin, Willie
GoodalL
"The Sleeping Beauty” closed the pro
gramme, and was ns pretty a rendition of
the fairy tale as has ever been seen. All
tho little aotors were in the tender years
of childhood, yet essayed and carried out
the roles of Kings and Queens muoh bet
ter than many whese heads wear the
golden circlets. Tho tale, how a prinoees
is pat to eleep by a magio spell, and after
a hundred years is awakened by a kiss, is
familiar to all.
List evening it ecemed as if every one
was specially suited for their parts. Mas
ter Bob Hodges mado a splendid King
Clandio;Queen Amabelle was beautifully
done by Leila Clark; Princess Violetta
was exquisitely acted by Lizzie Maug
ham, her xolo being quite difficult, but
splendidly dose.
Zoo, Ilah Dunlap; Fickle,
Georgia Jones; King Lovejoy, Charlie
Gnerneey; Queen Rosalind, Florence
Roberts wero splendidly done, while
Prince Dareall, Blanton Winship, was as
good as could be desired.
But the little stars of the evening were
Daisy Badger, a little sprite of six years,
asEiperanoe, and IdaMangham as Spit
fire. Bath evinced great talent, and
were greeted with ronnd after
ronnd ot applause. As fairies
they wero perfeot successes in
every way.
The others taking part were Coddle^
Ida Barden; Carkam, Sidney Wiley,
Herman, Johneon Clancy; Attendants—
Hattie Rogers, Madgie Lon Roberts,
Emma Schofield, Genie Cobb, Herring
Winship, Rok Rogers, Willie Martin;
Fairies—Ruby Jones, Graoie DeHtven,
Gertrude Roberts, Kstio Martin, Lavinia
Rogers. Eva Wriglay, Berth* Willing
ham, Dellia Rogers, Louise Rogers, Her™
mion Roes, Mary Oobb; attendants—
Minnie Rice, Helen Rob j. Mallard Wrig
ley, Lillie Bremer, Johnnie Burke, end
Bob Lee.
The success of the evening is dno to
Mrs. J. B. Cobb, and the entertainment
reflects great credit on her taste in the
selection and skillful training of her
corps of little actors.
Another thing, too, which contributed
j no small degree, was the excellent
manner in which the etago was managed
fay Mr. R. D. Clancy.
Personal.
Mr. Thomas Troy, of Florida, is in
the city far a few days.
Rev. Robert A. Macdonell, of Screven
county, eon of Rev. G. G. N. Macdonell,

THE LIBRAHY ELECTION.
Interest Awakening In It.
On next Monday night the annual
election of a President and Board of Di
rectors for the ensuing year takes place.
The Library is constantly growing. At
every meeting of tbe Board of Directors
new members are received and donations
acknowledged, and as one cf the public
institutions of tbe city it ha3 grown
to great importanc e. The management ot
the institution for the past year has been
most excellent, and the Library has en
joyed a year of great prosperity. Ab tbe
time returns for a new election it is all
important that lta friends should be alive
to its interests, and sea thst suitable
men are chosen to look after tho interests
of the Institution. No more important
organization exists in our midst,all things
^eing considered. No little interest is
being taken in the election, and several
tickets’will be in the field- A communis
cation appears in another column putting
a ticket in nomination. We understand
several others are being made up. .
Seven Briflsee—Tire Causeway
Wretched Condition.
We learn that the causeway recently
purchased by the county of the Wiley es
tate, is in a wretched condition, although
it has recently been worked. The cause
way has been built up with clay, and
has been ent np by passing vehicles until
the whole roadway ia a mas3 of mud.
r We hear a good deal of complaint in
regard to the catting down of the trees
which stood,on either side of the cause*
way, and made one of tho most romantio
and beaatifal drives in the Southern
country, about a mile in length.
The “3sven Bridges’* has become
noted throughout Middle Georgia as one
of the prettiest drives in the Stato, and
was a favorite pleasure resort.
Through one of tho most densely
wooded swamps in this part of tho State,
the causeway was built, as an outlet to
tho Houston county travel. Two streams
pass through the swamp, which are
divided into six channels, originally
seven, but one has been turned into
one of tho other channels. Eaoh one of
theso Is spanned by a bridge. The trees
wero originally cut out with an eye to
heightening the pioturesquo effect. It is
certainly to be regretted that the utilita
rian ideas of those in ohargo of the
work saw fit to cut down all the trees
around tho causeway to tho distance of
fifty feet, making a regular right of way
through the forest, with tho stumps only
left on either side. It ta claimed that the
shade ot the trees prevented tho sunshine
from having sufficient access to tho road.
There has been more complaint,however,
to us sicoe the outting away o* tho trees
than for two years previous. That may
bo, however, on account of the recent
woik.
\^*~**~ Art Illustrations.
On Monday evening at Ralston Hall
McBsre. Soderer end Ball will begin
a aeries ot Art Illustrations cf foreign
travel. These illustrations'are said to bo
far superior to any of a similar kind pre
sented, both in tho charaoter and com.
pletone33 of tho views end dosoription
Thoy have mot with great success
throughout tho entire country, recoiving
the very highest encomiums of the press
and fall patronage from tho public. The
Atlanta Conslilution says:
Last night a largo audience gathered
to witness tho art illustrations now being
exhibited nightly by Messrs. Soderer and
'Ball. Tho entertainment is at onoe pare;
'beautiful and instructive, something
which can rarely be said with truth of
the ehows which conflict our city. It is
not a show to catch the rabble, ana in this
faot lies itB greatest claim to merit.
It is a strictly legitimate exhibition,
and appeals most strongly to the »3thet-
io part of tho mind. "Germany and the
Rhine,” the subject of last night, was
presented in a series of viows, varied,
Ufo-like, and often Bnblime. Cities,
castles and cathedrals appeared upon
the canras in pleaBing succession, and so
realistic, clearly defined and splendid
were the piotnres, that involuntary excla
mations of admiration were heard all
over the house, and men and women in.
stinotively rise to their feet in the eager
ness to drink in every part cf the glori
ous images as they melted into eaoh oth
er. These views were agreeably inter
spersed with magnificent statuary, pic
tures representing, with wonderful fideli
ty, tho gods and heroes of mythology.
Confirmation at tno aynnsosue.
This morning a confirmation will take
place at the synagogue. The Reformed
Jews observe the penteoostal feast as the
time for confirmation, while the Orthodox
Jews advocate tho Sabbath after the at
tainment of thirteen years. Tho congrega
tion of Beth Israel, being neither strictly
Orthodox or Reform, adopt cither time.
This morning the confirmactis Master
Esau Cohen, son of Mr. Lippman Coben.
The hour of service this morning is
ten o’clock.
Brevities.
Mr. T. H. Henderson, the agent of the
Southern Express, has recently had the
arrangement of the office changed by en
closing a private office in the rear of tbo
main office.
Hon. J. Proctor Kcott is lectmiDg in
Kentnoky on "Water.” There is no
telling what cheek will do for a man
when he treads on unknown ground.
lannnak cadet*.
Tho Savannah Cadets, who wero the
guests of the Floyd Rifles on Wednesday
the 29th.Oatober, on the occasion of the
unveiling of the Confederate monument,
passed the following handsome resolu
tion in acknowledgment of,the hospitable
treatment received on that occasion at
the hands of their hC3ls. The copy has
just been received:

pleasure ot extending both to himself and
his gallant command some more substan
tial appreciation of our gratitude.

Bose Hill Cemetery fn a badly neglected and
almost shameful condiiion—without care or pro
tection from stock. The people of Macon know
what x have done. The result of my lab or is the
witness I offer, and it is proper for me to state
that this work has beon done in a great measure
ot my individual expense. But my encourage
ment has been great. Appreciating my effort* to
improro if not dignify the Position and its sur
roundings, the people have in many instances ex
tended to me their most substantial endorse
ment, and I here take occasion to return thanks
for so many evidenors of popular esteem,
and to express my deep regret at tho
appearance of an unnecessary competition which
can only destroy the legitimate profits
ot my official business without any corres
ponding benoflt to tbo publieor to thorn engaged
in it, Being determined, however, to do my full
duty whilo I hold the position, regardless of ex
pense, I tako great pleasure m stating that I
will hereafter be prepared to terva tho publio
