THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 29,1887. THE GREAT SOOTH. Its Rmorew, Hews, liiduxtnw, Cilt- nrc, Scrnr'j and General Progress. the gardeh op the world. The Great Southern Boom. It has come »t last! To a large majority of even the most intelligent of our people the "coming ’ has been a complete surprise. But to those better informed—those who had close ly studied, and made themselves acquainted with the magnifier nt natural resources, and "reat and grand possibilities of this Sunny South land of our*—the surprise has been, not that the “Boom” has come, but that it did not come long ago! It is next to impossible for the mind to grasp and comprehend the extent and value of the vast and varied resources of the muniticcntly endowed region bounded by the Ohio and l’o- lomac—the Atlantic—the Gulf—and the Miss issippi. No other era anywhere on the globe equally contracted and compact, can compare with it. This assertion, bold and strong as it is, is easy to demonstrate, but not in the time and space now at command. So profound y impressed are we, as we mentally forecast the future of the “Sunny South,” of what is pos sible to it, that we regard the present “boom” as only the turn of the tide which will soon swell to a great tiood-tidc bearing to us a wealth and prosperity and consequent ]>olitical pow er impossible for us u >w to comprehend. We have only to bt true to our traditions-true to ourselves—and as surely as time rolls on, and energy, enterprise and integrity of character are held in esteem and iner t success—jus', so surely will this comparatively small quadran gle of territory become the seat of manufact ures, of population, of wealth and of political supremacy in this country. Alabama Advancing. One is bewildered when con em dating the rapid strides Alabama lias n.ade in the past few years. Mineral treasures of untold—in computable—value, have for centuries been imbedded within her boundaries, im rt and useless. I'nderlying iter fields of cotton, once consul red the sole source of prospective v, al h and grandeur, were stored the elements which, in the “fullness of time,” were to plact her in the forefront of the aggregated great sovereignties constituting this (. reatest of nationali ies. only a few years ago the South and North railway was struggling to make its way from Decatur to Montgomery. A few years later the Alabama and Chattanooga began construc tion, and crossing the first named line in Jef ferson county, suggested and laid the founda tion of the city of Birmingham. The wonder fully rapid growth of this city excited inquiry which d veloped resources undreampt of, and invited investments and stimulated enter prise which have resulted in founding in rapid succession the cities of Anniston and Sheffield, and in imparting and imi>etus to old and dig nified Decatur which lay completely dumb founded its old and time-honored citizens. But the tide has but just set in—the great work of industrial regeneration and develop ment has but just begun. Astouuding as the unexpected progress of to-day may be, it is nothing to be compared to wlia: may be real ized in the near future. Georgia feels a mo'h- erly pride in Alabama’s progress, and hi artily rejoices in the present prosperity and pros pective pre-eminence of her daughter. ai.ab \-:a. curred in the south. ALABAMA. A syndicate pro poses to buy the property of the An niston Land and Im provement company xu three million dol lars and the proper ty of the Woodstock Iron and Steel com pany for three mil lion dollars, a total of six million, which would be the argest capital cash transac tion that has ever oc- I’his property includes the celebrated Woodstock Iron furnace, with its thousands of mineral and timbered lands, the renowned Anniston Inn, the perfect sys tem of waterworks and electric light and all other property previously owned by these cor porations. Grant Wilkins, bridge engineer and con tractor has lately closed a contract with the Kast & West railroad, for a bridge across the Coosr river. Col. W. C. Oates lately introduced a bill in the House, which provides that all immigrants shall live in the United States ten years before they can vote; that as a condition precedent to the right of suffrage, they must declare an in tention to become citizens. Col. Oates thinks tint length of time necessary to identify the. foreigner with the interests of our government. Alabama has a righ r , to be proud of such a large-brained M. C. Birmingham wants house room for 25,000 more people at once. Property sold at Huntsville last week for $100 per fro it foot. Many citizens who left Florence years ago are returning. Band is selling for $.‘!7 per acre within two miles of Florence. Samuel Hale has been appointed post- mas'^r at Tuskegee. A rich vein of gold has been discovered sev en miles from Greensboro. A company has been organized in Decatur to build four blast furnaces, mils and facto ries. Montgomery proposes to establish stove works, and $50,000 have been subscribed thus far for the purpose. Selma gets free delivery after March 1st. Selma's boom is baeked with $200,000. A new ice factory is being erected at Tusca loosa. Senator Morgan s credited with saying, in his speech on the inter-state commerce hill, that the bill as it cai con initiee was "a e< lar clamor on tin c the other. Tim bill guarded, filled with ; I lit with not the dig TEXAS. front the c promise between pt hand and railroad rence pu- ; on era*. no iibjiclional.i imsis't lit tii t properly sioa, energy anil vigor, .,t caution.” If it was ns a iiitle strange and ilingtiisheti senator did a.-ure,—unless he was — 1 mi MilliBM Lftaaa. ■ Stored away in the treasury vaults of the United States are hundreds of millions of dol lars which—if released and put into circula tion—would afford remunerative employment and supply with shelter, fuel, food and raiment millions of men, women and children anxious for employment and suffering from destitution. Hundreds of millions of dollars lying idle in the treasury, while hundreds of thousands of people *re lying idle all over the country be cause they cannot get work to do. Hundreds of millions of dollars lying idle in the treasury, and the people taxed to pay the interest on the bonds which these millions would cancel. “Let the millions loose,” and set the idle people seeking work and wanting bread to con structing coast defences and building a navy commensurate with the growth, grandeur and aspirations o: the nation. * ‘‘Let the millions loose,” that they maybe used in establishing maun factories, in con structing railroads, and facilitate the disen tombing of the coal and iron, and the granite, marble, slate and gold that they may swell the volume of the country’s commerce and the grand aggregate of the nation's wealth. And, above and beyond all, give work to the unem ployed, add to their comforts, and promote their health and happiness and moral and in tellectual advancement. m GEORGIA. GEORGIA. There has been \ .\ \ more snow in Gcor- .\ giatl is winter than ^ was ever known be- \| -‘ . tfore; and last whiter t ere was more ice, perhaps. Five hundred ne groes passed through Atlanta, Ga„ a few dajs ago on their way from their homes in South and North Carolina to Alabama, where they expected to find employ ment as railroad laborers. The Dawson (Terrell county) Oil Mill Com pany recently sold one firm 100 tons of cotton seed meal, an t have orders they are unable to fill. The oil mill at Hawkinsville has resumed operations, and has orders to the extent of its capacity. The commission have visited and inspected each of the sites proposed as suitable for the erection of Atlanta’s school of technology. The national poultry show closed on the 22d. It was a grand success. Atlanta fairly walked off with the bench show, almost all the first prizes having fallen to Atlanta dogs. One of the most triumphant victories was that achie?ed by Mr. Cap Joyner’s black English PWflWtf.ri ‘.Mr ft Railroad FreiRhts a Drawback. One of the most serious drawbacks to the development of Southern resources—especially of iron—has been the discrimination against, the South in the matter of freights. As a gi n- eral rule the rate for south-bound tonnage has been lower than for that north-bound. Despite all disadvantages and all discourage ments the iron of the South but found its way to the foundries of the progressive North, and along with it has gone the fact of the greater richness of her ore. Prejudice is giving way before commercial considerations and the love of gain, and the outlet for our mineral pro ducts, raw and manufactured, are being wid ened and deepened and its transportion other wise facilitated. This is the harbinger of more rapid developments, of closer fraternal ties and commercial relations and resultant mutual prosperity. Already the financially plethoric North is in vesting a portion of its troublesome surplus in the South, and as the outstanding bonds are paid, and the now boarded money in the Treasury distributed among the people we feel assured there will be “more to follow.” ville, Ky. The Salvation Army assailed Atlanta, but found it well fortified. Norcross is getting io he an educational centre, and has now two fine schools. The steamer Atla, to ply the Flint has arriv ed at Albany. The Hawskinville oil mill is now running day and night. The church about five miles from Bruns wick, known as Taylor’s Chapel, has been re built, and Kev. Dr. Clarke, of Jesup, will preach there regularly. An Atlanta man is preparing to put up a big distillery near Suwauee, where he will he ready to open a big jug trade with the thirsty citizens of t,lie Gate City. It is rumorei that the roal, the route of which was survey!d from Milieu to Brancli- ville, S. C., some time ago, to connect with the contemplated road from Milieu to Jesup, has begun operations, and will no doubt be built. A large land trade was perfected last week, by which L. F. l’fi> ffer becomes the owner of about 7,0tHi or S,nU0 acres of the Gibbons lands near the IIag» Kiaga sliding on the Savannah river. This is the biggest transaction of the kind that has occurred in Scriven county in many years. It was a cash trade. TEXAS. The Courier-Jour nal remarks: “Coal in immense quanti ties has jnst been discovered in Texas. But what does Tex as, who warms her self so thoroughly with her own cli mate, want with im mense quantities of coal? Does she pro pose to broil her tar antulas?” Texas wants immense' quantities of coal for visitors like the one who amused the people of Abilene last week. In the midst of a :oal famine at that place and while the therm, meter was ranging below zero, a man in a linen duster and a straw hat arrived. He had left his flannels at the win try north and with an erroneous idea and a cold in his head has set out for Fliil Sberic ait's sheol to thaw out. Tie cl mate succeeded in making him feel at home, but his teeth chat tered so that he actually couldn’t enjoy the “beaker of the warm South” he had come so far to quaff. The following are the appropriations for Texas in the rivers and harbors bill: Galves ton harbor, $200,000; Sabine pass, $125,000; Aransas pass, $50,000; l’ass Cavallo, Brazos, Santiaga, Buffalo bayou, aud the mouth of the Brazos river, each $25,000. Corpos Christi lias a population of 4,000 peo ple, and a taxable weal h of $2,000,000. It is the county seat of one of the wealthiest coun ties in the State. Reports from West Texas and the coast counties state that cattle, sheep and horses have gone through the winter so far in a satis factory condition. About Victoria calves have advanced in price from $2 to $0 and fat beef cattle in like proportion. This is owing to the fact that N. O. butchers are drawing more heavily on Texas for their supplies than they ever did before. Nearly ”,.">000 bags of peacan nuts have been received in New England from Texas within a few days past. During the past year 272 immigrants have located in .Sequin, bringing with them capital auiou.itii g to $22,000. Count Kmil Carl Frederick Guenther von Selmvarzeiiburg, who really belongs to amble German family, is under arrest in San Antonia for bigamy. 54:! miles of railway were laid in Texas dur ing the past year. The cotton receipts of Mexia for the season will exceed 25,000 bales. This town Wi.s never in a more promising comli ion than at present. “The king is dead—live the kina” was en acted in Austin mi the lkth instant, when Gov. Ireland turned o-er the gn .ernatorial chair t > his su cessor—(iov Itoss. The in augural ball was pr uitmncetl the grainiest af fair that ever occurred in the State. Since September, 1820, the Texas and Pa cific railroad has ham: led 2:10,410 bales of c ot ton, delivering in New Orleans 20,000 bales more than any other read. Dallas is credited w it li a brewery, enlarged planing mill, baking powder factory, new fac tory, icc factory, new saxldle and harness nic- tnry, nut and lock factory, foundry and chem ical works. The farmers alliance of Texas, claiming a membership of 207,tXK), have sent their chief political leader to Austin to assist in electing a United States Senator who can be relied up on to promote farmers’ interests in Congress. Mr. Owens, of Dallas county, lias a hand somely carved powder-horn made by his grand father, Samuel Arnell, of Kentucky, in 1780, and used in the Revolutionory War. Heavy petroleum lias been discovered on the property of Mr. James Logan in the vicin ity of Palestine. Arrangements are now being made for boring the ground and making a complete test. The committee on agriculture, at Washing ton, has made provision in its bill for a liberal distribution of seed throughout the drouth- stricken section of Texas. Victor Tarde came to Texas in 18411 and settled near Oastroville, Medina county, where he recently died at a ripe old age, loved and respected by all who knew him. He was born in France in 17112, and at 21 years of age joined the famous Young Guard of Napoleon Bonaparte, in which he served until the defeat of the emperor at Waterloo, in 1815. FLORIDA. OurjCotton Seed. One of the most suicidal of policies on the part of Southern farmers and planters is, in our opinion, the practice of selling their cotton seed. No better ingredient can be made a part of the compast heap, fa “heap” that would make a heap o’ money for the farmers) than cotton. Unfortunately the ready money offered for what he considers a surplus pro duct, tempts the farmer to part with what, properly managed, is really a very valuable portion of his products. It seems to us to be the greatest folly to sell at a low price, and have carried off the land one of the best known natural fertilizers, and then mortgage future products (if not the farm) for commer cial fertilizers which often prove to be small, or even of no value. It is to be hoped the time is not distant when the farmers of the So tth will resolve to keep their cotton seed gather and save all the refuse of the farm, and make a compost which will iar exeted, in lasting fertilizing properties, any that they can buy. Keep your cotton seed. FLORIDA. The colored people of Florida are mak ing preparations for a State fair to be held sometime dur ing the winter, at Jacksonville. Titusville (st the head of navigation, Inc inn river) has been visited by a Mr. Sowards looking for a site for a hank building; and the lock and cell boxes for the new pos, office building are looked for daily. A remarkable Florida production is a gera nium that measures thirty-two inches in cir cumference. E. F. Joyc», proprietor of the Artesian Drilling company, is sinking a sixty inch well for the St. Auguetine Improvement company. Mr. George H. Frazer, of Micanopy, will plant thirteen acres of Chilli Red l’otatoes on his farm east of town this season. From his experience with different varieties last season he is satisfied the Chilli Reds are the potato for Florida. The orange growers in the neighborhood of Welaka have gathered their oranges and hous ed them, in order to prevent bad effects should any severe cold weather come. The orange shipping business of Gainesville is gradually waning, although many boxes are yet being transferred. The bulk of the crop, however, has been delivered and sold in the Northern markets.

There can be no place in human life with out the contempt of all events. He that trou hies his head with drawing consequences from mere contingencies shall never be at rest— L’Estrange. A: Round Knob—a point i n the most pictures jue part of the Carolina moun tains, situated on the Western North Caro lina Railroad ab ut twenty miles east ol Asheville, the South- ern Improvement company (formed of Northern capitalists) have purchastd a large boundary o f NORTH CAROLINA, lam), and on a part of it near the elegant hotel ately built, they have laid off what they call the Southern Editor’s village—a lot is to be given to every Southern editor on certain conditions. Col. J. Patrick, Slate Emigrant Agent, Italeigb, N. C., has charge of the enterprise and reporus that the prospects are encouraging for soon seeing a community of Southern editors in tliefr cotta ges in the heart of the Allegauies, spending the heated term. On Tuesday the 18th instant the Farmers State convention was held. The object of this gathering was to present, in some forcib e way, the ideas of the agriculturalists in regard to laws needed for their protection and the en- couragenent of farming interests in the State. The legislature being in session now this was thought the most convenient and appropriate time for holding the convention. A cotton factory is one of the new enterpris es which Asheville is to be benefited by imme diately. Capitalists there who have had ex perience in the manufacture of cotton goods are at ihe head of the concern. Also that new and large hotel, the Beathery Park, is to be increased to double its present capacity—ca pable of accommodating now 500. A new opera house is to be built there in the spring Thu new National Bank building has lately been contplt ted and is said to be the hand somest structure of the kind in the State. Electric lights have lately been established for the streets, and gas is to be furnished in a few weeks to private residences. Streets are to be macadamized and water-works costing$100,000 are nearly finished. Street cars are to be run ning by May. The place is said to have doubled its population in four years, number ing now 8,000. Few places in the South have grown so marvelously. The coast has lately been surveyed by pio- cultural experts with a view of determining the fitness of the localities for the growth of the oysters. The most gratifying reports have just oeen made by the officers in charge of the enterprise, and a very large area is reported as possessing in a large degree the conditions fa vorab e for the culture of the luscious and pop ular bivalve. The Government lurnished a vessel aud offict rs to aid in the work, and this contributed much to the success of the inves tigation. Walter Bingham, the deaf mute who killed his sweetheart near Raleigh a lew weeks since, has not yet been arrested. It is thought by some, however, that it is possible that he has been apprehended by detectives who are hold ing him for a larger reward, only $400 having been offered. A resolution to make it $800 was introduced in the Legislature, but was lost. The Raleigh News and Observer says the opinion is growing that Bingham is dead. In Moore and Stanley counties some English capitalists havo located aud purchased some mining property, and the Salisbury Herald says that a cablegram, just received, aunounccd the intention of the company to begin the de velopment of these properties at once. Gov. Scales has commuted the death sent ience of a colored woman, Henrietta Neal, to imprisonment for life. Last fall she killed her infant and concealed the body under a pile of stones. A large lodge of Knights of Labor has just been organized at Salem. At Asheville the division numbers 400 at that place. They have just held an industrial fair for the purpose of raising funds to erect a hall. Their fair was said to have been immensely attended. A Land and Labor Club has been organized at the latter place. The ctiarter is No. 1 of the State of North Carolina. Locke Craig, Esq., a bril liant lawyer of prominence and education, is heading the movement in the State. Dr. C. II. Wiley, of Winston, one of the most distinguished educators in the State in former yeais—lately general agent for Ameri can Bible Society—is dead. BOYS 0 GIRLS’ DEPARTMENT. Dear Auntie and Cousins: Not like the young man who wrote to his girl “It is with great reluctance I seize the opportunity to write to you,” but it is with great pleasure 1 write you, wishing you a bright and happy New Year. , How many of the cousins have commenced the New Year with new rest lutions? I know there are none of us who are so perfect but that we shoald make some clia ge in our plans and actions; for I think every New Year ought to inspire us with nobler ami higher aspira tions having for our motto "Onward and Up ward',” until we reach the goal of human per fection. J „ , The last visit I made you I captured one of the nicest and cutest cousins fjr a correspond ent you know of. What has become of Precious Pickle.’ Am afraid the weather has been tor severe for Pickle, and fear they have froze, but hope when spring comes they will resuscitate with all the vigor and activity of animated nature. Who will correspond (through mail) with Penelope? Dear Aunt Judy: For two long, weary years I have been a silent, though admiring member of the letter Box. Last night I read the letter from Istalena, and it made me feel so happy to know that she had not forgotten me. Dear Istalena, will you correspond with me? I have so much curiosity to know you! Arc your initials E. L. P? To-day has beeen such a lonely Sabbath! I went to church and heard a splendid sermon. I only wislt I could live a good, consistent, Christian life. Last Christinas day a friend and 1 took a horse and buggy and went to sec some very poor people. At one place there wtis a little girl who was badly burned two years ago, and has been confined to her bed ever since. We gave her some apples, oranges and other little things, and she seemed so hap py. | enjoyed that day more than any I have ever spent, for you know ’Lis more blessed to give than to receive, it is a mystery to me why some are made to suffer so much while to others sorrow is unknown; but God knowetli what is best. Last week we had such a nice time snow balling. Miss Nettie, didn’t we enjoy throw ing at those Express clciks? Town Tackie, I heard you were married. I wot.der if you know me. i used to live in Nashville, ami boarded at the Nicholson House. Lynnette, have yo. forgotten your old friend?

Will you, dear Aant Judy and sweet cousins, welcome us into your charmed circle? May we sit next to y ru, Aunt Judy, as we are afraid the hoys might cast sweet glances at us, the two strangers, and wu are not used to such. Wild Rose is a cute little brunette, 5 feet •’! inches, has lovely brown eyes and cur y hair. Wood Violet lias beautitui dark blue eyes and brown curly hair, 5 feet •'! inches tall. As far as looks are concerned we are both passa ble, and have sweet dispositions. A fter such descriptions as the above, won’t some of the cousins correspond wita us? If so, Aunt Judy w II give you our address. Don’t all write at once, for we -uu’t affori stamps to answer them. With much love to Aunt Judy aud *11 the Cousins, we are lovingly, Wii-ii Rose and Wood Violet. DearCousins: I am at home again after be ing absent quite a while at school. You can imagine what a daisy time 1 am having, hut alas! the pleasure is fleeting, for I must return in a week or two, to the classic halls of learn ing and remain there until “the rose leaves fall in June." Kid, who are you? We’ll excuse the nom. (\ usins, I have a conumdmiu for you, got ten up by a young gentleman cousin of mine: In what respect does the ocean resemble a woman? To the first four sliding the correct bis compliments and fftictfo, providing the guessers are some of our sweet girl members. Now fair maidens, do your best, for he is aw fully handsome, if he is my cousin, an a his photo would be an adornment to any‘girl’s al bum. 1 forgot to tell you that he will send to the first four correct guessers, among the young gentlemen members, his compliments, minus the photo, plus a package of Dixie Cig arettes. Aunt Judy, dear, please dont frown, boys will be boys, you know, therefore you must excuse the D. C's. Have any of you cousins a picture of Cluverius, who was hang ed at Richmond the other day? I would like so much to have it. and will exchange for it, either three pretty steel engravings for scrap book, or any piece of popular music that may be desired, l’iease send the picture to Aunt Judy, and she will forward the engravings or music to the address given. Ska Bkkkzk. Jesup, Ga. My Dear Hoys and Dearest Girls: I wish you all a happy New Year. May the bright star of Success shine steadily on ail your under- tak ings and carry you safely through the com ing year. I have just returned from the West, conse quently my Little One’s letter has just been read. I heartily appreciate the sentiments ex pressed in her letter, and shail immediately “take her under my wing;” so all you fellows who have any intentions of casting sweet glances in the direction of my Little One, had better beware, for hereafter the “Doctor’s daughter” is uader Bill's personal super vision. I understand that some of the cousins have been doubling my bishfulness and casting slurs upon my “kar-ick-ter.” Now, I just want to say, right here, to these “doubting Thomases” that ail the jests, slurs and insin uations that their wit or envy may invent, will not pievail against Bashful Bill, nor shall it detract one iota from his fame, but he shall survive the shock and stand ever before you as a true representative of the “modest man.” The black smoke of calumny shall vanish be fore his righteous indignation, and the clouds of doubt that seem to hover around him shall be hurled away, and there, standiug forth in the light of perfect day, shall be, with all due bashfulness, Your humble servant, Bashful Bii.i.

CHKSS NOTES shburoe, one f the c •Ichrab d com n 11 rtfor.l 11 bt*barb of Ai Mr MJ Fans, ’it The Buffalo Courier of last October thus spoke of the performance: "The Academy of Music resounded with laughter last evening, and therein lies perhaps the greatest compliment to the successful ef fort of Robson and Crane in reviving Shaks- peare’s broad comedy, “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” This play has the dig. tinct flavor of a bygone century in diction, manners, and characterization; and to make its humor contagious with an audience of to-day implies rare tact and skill. These comedians have achieved this felicitous result, and have thereby again put the public under obligations. In dealing with a Shakspearean drama critical attention need not repose on its merits or demerits, for these topics have filled the volumes of ages, and re main both settled and unsettled. It is proper enougd to state in passing that Robson and Crane have carefully purged the text, and make t ie comedy altogether unexceptionable on that score. Its bustling incidents and com ical situations were hugely enjoyed, as they must always be. Of “Young American Tragedians” we have almost a score, but where are our comedians? It is true we have Stuart Robson, Nat Good win and Joe Jefferson, but the latter is in the sere and yellow leaf. It is my opinion that the coming man is Gus Williams. Nature has equiped him in an affluent manner for the dramatic stage, and I trust he will make the best uses of the gifts committed to his keeping. As a vocalist he it- pleasing; as a mimic he is in imitable, possessing a voice full,round and mus ical, capabe )f vast expression, and under such perfect control that it can be made to express the entire gamut of the passions and emotions in full and excised action. In his characters he copies no one, but depends entirely upon his own conception and methods. In his Dutch dialect characters lie is as widely op posed to Joe Emmett or George Knight as the poles are to eaclt other.” Gus Williams. From Shaksperean C jmedy we will pass, Friday and Saturday, at night and matinee, to Modern C ratedy with Gus Williams, one of tin best American Cenedijns. He conies with his three lord pieces: “One of the Finest,” "Captain Meshler” and “Oh ! What a Night.” Three cf the most funny pieces of th} American stage. A well informed theatrical critic recently wrote to the Lou sville Court -r a criticism of Gus Williams, wheu he says, among the il.it teringthings: "I, is an incontestable (act that our comedians are fast fading away, and the question now arises, who are to fill ’ their places? John E. Owens, the best of the day. has just gone to “that undiscovered co unry from whose bourne no tr iveler returns.” id.dilraii&f:. RAILROAD TIME TABLE i VVd-.il N ; 14 I ,, lo ■7. ;.J. I).

For once their pro duction of Shakspeare’s “Comedy of Errors,” with all its wealth of gorgeous scenery, mag nificent costumes, armor, properties and floods of odes and peculiar melody have been her alded with flourishing trumpets. Monday evening of next week the popular “Two Drom- ios** will disport themselves at the Opera house, and we are promised the dramatic eveut of the season. Mr. Thomas F. Shea, the business manager of the company, arrived yesterday, and was in consultation with Mr. DtGive, to whom he gave orders that every particle of scenery, furniture, etc., now in the theater would have to be removed, as Robson & Crane furnish scenery, property, music—in fact, everything appertaining to ilie presenta tion of the immortal bard’s comedy would be supplied by the comedians. There will be nearly one hundred people employed in this play, consisting of dramatic company, danc ing ballet, chorus of men and wimen, cos- T HE GEORGIA RAILROAD.
