8 THE SUNEY SOUTH. ATLANTA, GA* SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2‘2,1887 Baton Rouge Notes. Baton Rouge has shaken ofl her sleepy sum mer look and is quite lively. Cotton bales piled high on wagons, and some happy negro perched on the topmcst bale singing some old plantation melody, looking as well pleased as it ia possible to be. Negroes are always happy during cotton picking and grinding time. Governor and Mrs. McEnery and their three bright children have returned home. Miss Lizzie MacMurdo is visiting her cousin Miss Tal MacMurdo. Miss Inez Knowlton is at Capt. John Mc Grath’s for a week or two. Mrs. S. W. Bacot has returned from a long visit to South Carolina. Rev. T. S. DeMattos has returned from Min nesota much improved in health. His friends are delighted to have him with them again. Maj. Arthur Prescott was appointed Com mandant of the Louisiana State University in place of Col. S. M. Robertson, who was nomi nated Congressman from the Sixth District. Cadet J. G. Lee was appointed assistant Com mandant, and Col. D. T. Boyd, Professor of Natural Sciences, at the meeting of the Uni versity Board on Oct. 6th, 1887. Prof. John Pearce left Baton Rouge on Mon day to take a position in the Tulane Universi ty, New Orleans. The University opened on Oct. 6th with a large number of pupils. The public schools and all the private schools have a full attendance. It is a marvelous sight to see the number of school children a place of this size sends forth every day. Baton Rouge is improving in every way— new stores, residences, sidewalks, and a great many repairs, etc., are biing made. The stores are well stocked and new clerks engaged for a big fall trade. Business is good and is getting better every day. The theatrical season opened at Pikes’ Opera House with the Berlaad Combination, Oct. 6, to a bad business. It is not an unusual thing for ten cent shows to come up from New Orleans and charge fifty and seventy-five cents. Our people are tired of being hum bugged, and do not patronize them. The season opened with the Anniversary Rcoeption of the Pansy Circle at the Mayer Hotel. A finer opening of the season could not have been made. There were just enough guests to make dancing pleasant, and every one who was fortunate enough to attend pro nounced it one of the most recherche affairs ever given in our little city. One of the pleasures of the evening was the presentation of a lovely floral offering from the Froshin Society, of New Orleans, by Hon. Warren Easton—which was gracefully received by the President of the I’ansieB, Miss McGrath. The following are a few of the numerous pretty toilets worn by a few of the pretty girls who attended: MiBS Lucie Mansur was charming in white satin; Miss Vickie Gass, white lace; Miss Mat- tie McGrath, (President,) white moire and plush; Miss Knowlton, white and silver—en traine: Miss Maitae, white lace; Miss Addie McGrath, black lace trimmed with daisies; Miss Connor, pink albatros; Miss Funke, blue satin; Miss Mittie Burden, black and gold sat in; Miss Randolph, white silk and illusion; Miss Brooks, lace and satin; Miss Gass, blue moire; Miss Feltus, laco and pink satin rib bons; Miss Hart, white mull; Misses Emma Mendlesohn and Nellie Meyer, white lace; Miss Alice McCabe, white satin and pearl trimming; Miss Elfie McCabe, old gold and black satin; Miss Julia McGrath, white vel vet with silver; Mrs. Jastremski, white satin, tulle overdress; Mrs. Leon Jastremski, Mrs. A. Wax, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Easton and a great many others were handsomely costumed. The cadets in their grey uniform?, and the young men in their evening suits were all charming, and “yours forever’’ only sighs to think that with him it has passed and gone; with a great many other delightful things, it is “only a sweet gone bj 1“ Invitations are out for several weddings, and a farewell ball of the Y. M. L & S. C. Mere anon. Kettjge Lysle. *** A CHARMING WEDDING. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lamar Begin Mar ried Life Under Happy Auspices Raleigh, N. C , Oct. 5—Mr. Jefferson M. Lamar, of Jacksonville, Fla , and Miss Alethia C. Hawkins, daughter of Dr. William J. Haw kins, of Raleigh, and niece of Dr A. B. Haw kins, of Tallahassee, were married at 6 o’clock this evening, at the Church of the Good Shep hard, this city. The marriage was performed by Rev. Robert Strange, rector Of the church, and the audience which assembled to wi.ness the nuptials was one of the most fashionable ever seen here. The decorations of the cbuich were in exquisite taste. Pink and white flow ers were entwined on all the woodwork. The bride, who is held in particular esteem here, was the object of special admiration. She was attired in white faille Francalse, en traine, with elaborate ornaments ion of embroidery in silk and pearls, and she wore pearl ornaments. Her veil was of silk tulle, and her bouquet of Catherine mermet roses. Miss Lucy C. Hawkins, the bride’s sister, was her maid of honor, and was becomingly attired in white mull and wore jacqueminot roses. The other bridesmaids were Misses Maggie F. Bailey, of Tallahassee; Fanny Cook, of Virginia, Lucy Battle and Saliie Clark, of Raleigh. They were preceded by Little Zanie Andrews, who bore a basket of pink roses. The bridesmaids wore silk and mull and sur- rah with a bouquet of jacqueminots. As soon as the ceremony ended the bridal party was driven to the residence of Dr. W. J. Hawkins. There were leave takings and con gratulations over the biidal cake and rare old wines, and at 7 o’clock the groom and his lovely bride left on their tour. They go first to Washington, and will spend somo weeks in the North. *** Miss Lena M. Moseley, one of the most charming young society ladies of Clarkesville, Tennessee, and Mr. Lewis A. Ragsdale, of Meridian, Mississippi, were married at the Methodist church in Clarkesvile, on Wednes day, the 5th instant. Quite a large and select audience had al ready gathered when the beautiful bride and the proud groom (well he may be) came down the aisle and stood before the venerable Dr. Waddel, who in a most impressive manner S rformed the ceremony. The groomsmen, essrs. E. T. George, J. L. Goldsmith, G. Izzard and C. Williams, of Meridian, and T. H. Rice, Jr., of the S. W. P. U-, stood on either side, and the waiters, Miss Maggie Dan iel, Miss Sadie Dunlop, Miss Louise Beaumont, Miss Laura Smith, of Clarkesville and Miss Lizzie Cannon, of Shelbyville, Tenn., occupied the front seat. Everything passed off with ele gance and propriety, according to the latest code concerning such matters. The bridal couple left Wednesday evening on a tour of several months through the Eastern and South ern cities, after a short reception at the resi dence of the bride’s father, Mr. R. D. Mose ley. „ At Enfaula, Ala., on the 12th, ' “rannen, of Spring Hill, Ala., and 1 £mce were married at 3:30 o’clock : decce of the bride’s mother in Eu ■tires it,a' P ' ckard officiating.

Mr. and Mrs. Biackie left for a tour to Canada and the West and will sail for Scotland November 3. Many prominent Southern people were present at the wedding and reception. »*• On October 12th, In New York, Miss Helen Dauvray, the actress, and John M. Ward, for mer captain of a New York baseball club, were married. The weddtog was private. Miss Dauvray, as is well kribwn, is an enthusiast m regard to baseball. Mr. Ward is a highly edu cated young man, and among his accomplish ments is ability to speak five languages. *** Social circles in Washington are surprised at the report that Miss Ethel Sprague, daughter of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague and grand-daugh ter of the late Chief-Justice Salmon P. Chase, is about to make her debHt on the dramatic stage. It is said that Miss Sprague possesses remarkable histrionic talent, and has been under instruction both in Europe and America for her dramatic career. A description of her professional dresses has not yet been given to the publiG. **# At St. Augustine, en the Uth inst., an enter tainment of much spirit and pleasure took place at the Young Men’s Christian Association rooms. A large audience was present. Miss Pastorfield gave some very fine selections in elocution. Miss Mowrey recited a charming story, and the musicale filled up the rest of a pleasant evening. **• Matnri Mutes. [Boonville, Mo, Advertiser.] One of the most unique as well as enjoya ble weddings which ever took place in Boon ville, occurred in the city yesterday, the occa sion being the marriage of Miss Mattie B. Hutchinson, the mute daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hutchinson, and Mr. Ashbel N. Merrell, the mute son of the late Dr. Merrell, of St. Louis. Miss Mattie was educated at Fulton, Mis souri, and is an accomplished and refined young lady with a large circle cf friends, not only in this city, but throughout the State. Mr. Merrell was also educated at Fulton and is a gentleman of not only fine business capabilities but possesses an upright and estimable character. The parties became ac quainted at Fulton, and the result seems to be particularly appropriate. By special request, Rev. J. J. Wilkins, formerly of this city, at present of Sedaiia, was called to perform the ceremony, he having administered the rite of baptism to the bride and beneath his ministration witnessed her confirmation. The ceremony, whioh was a beautiful one, took place at the bride’s family residence in the presence of only immediate relatives and friends, and was as follows: Miss Merrell, sister of the groom, took her place at the left of the bride holding the prayer book, while at the right of the groom the brother of the bride performed a similar ser vice. The ceremony was the popular one of the Episcopal church, and was followed by the at tendants until the responses were reached when these were given in the sign language by the groom and interpreted and confirmed by the bride’s brother. After the ceremony and congratulations, a wedding breakfast of many choice viands was carefully served on flower-decked tables, and the newly wedded Mr. nnd Mrs. Merrell took their departure for their future home in St. Louis. Among the many presents were articles of silverware, furniture, paintings and bric-a-brac of various kinds, the whole constituting a de sirable outfit. The Adoertiser joins with the young couple’s many friends in wishing them a life of unal loyed happiness and prosperity. Exciticg Scece in Nashville. Rev. W. A. Candler Creates a Sensa tion-Miss tmma Abbott Aroused. On the morning of Sunday the 9th, there was a sensational scene at McKendree Church. Rev. W. A. Candler, one of the most promi nent Methodist ministers in the South, the pastor of McKendree, preached a sermon on theater-going, used severely denunciatory lan guage in connection with theaters and theater goers, and in speaking of actors and actresses, spoke of them in the most uncomplimentary manner. When Mr. Candler finished his ser mon, Miss Emma Abbott, who was in the au dience, rose, trembling with emotion, and very pale. She announced her name, and then said she had been on the stage since she was tight years old, and had always tried consci entiously, to the best of her ability, to do her duty before God at all times, and that she would defy any one in the world to say one word againet her fair name. She said she would speak of such noble women as Jen ny Lind, Albani, Modjeski and countless other lights of the stage who had led exempla ry lives, who had devoted themselves to doing good deeds, and who were noble wives and mothers. The minister had made objection to prayers being sung in the operas, but when she kneeled down to sing the prayer in Mignon and the Bohemian Girl, those words came right from her heart. In all the operas given last week, there was no impure or improper allusion, and because one occasionally finds vice in the pul pit, or upon the stage, there is no reason for such wholesale denunciation, which, in her opinion, was entirely false and uncalled for. Before the deafening applause that followed Miss Abbott’s words had ceased, Mr. Candler said: “I will not undertake to reply to the lady, as she is a lady, but such a performance is more suited to the theatre than the house of God.” Your reporter called on Miss Abbott after her return to the hotel, and found her at din ner with her husband, hastening through it in order to catch the afternoon train to Chatta nooga. She was evidently much wrought up and was suffering from a feeling of injustice. Her woman’s soul had been deeply wounded. “God knows,” she said, “I have humbly tried to do my duty. My father and mother know I have been a true womanly daughter to them, and I defy any one to say they ever heard aught against Emma Abbott. I have had a hard week’s work here, and after two fatiguing performances yesterday, I got up earlier than usual to-day to be able to attend divine worship. I am a member of the church, and always attend if possible. I went humbly for comtort and to ask God’s help to carry me through another week safely. I love congre gational siDging, and I love church music. I joined in all the hymns, and enjoyed them. I took my seat near the door, as I always do. I went to the church, entirely accidentally to that church. In his sermon, at first, the min ister gave utterance to anecdotes and illustra tions that I thought entirely irreverent in the pulpit. Then he began to speak of theaters and theatrical people, and made a wholesale denunciation of every one of them. I could hardly contain myself. He did not make an exception, and how could I keep silent? Emma Abbott prizes her name as a woman as much as she does her reputation as an artist.” Rev. Mr. Candler declined to be interviewed but said if he had gotten up in a theater and attempted to express his views, a policeman would have put him out. The incident caused the greatest excitement.

Now, anybody who has ever taken a pleasure trip to the springs, no matter where, knows what that means, but for the sake of the uninitiated who have never been there we will explain; it means sweltering all night at the rate of sixty dollars a month, in a closet ten feet by twelve, politely termed a front bed-room—and calling it pleasure; it means the pleasure of getting np in the morning to bathe in three spoonfuls of water that you have got from the chamber maid after many delays, at an average cost of about ten cents a drop; it means the pleasure of going down to breakfast on biscuit that ap pears to have been concocted with an ultimate view to their use as cannon balls, and coffee in which the water, so conspicuous for its ab- sence in your morning bath, is now equally conspicuous for its presence; it means dining on soup made after the most approved hoard ing-house recipe, by pouring a can of tomatoes into a pot of greasy water, followed by spring chickens that have seen any number of springs, with dessert of green fruit pies remarkable for their great liberality of crust—especially if the latter be valued according to weight. Now, everybody that has had the privilege of spending six weeks, or even six days, at one of our “most popular resorts,” knows how condusive this sert of fare is to the develop ment of large appetites, and if we do not ruin our digestion in the effort to satisfy them, we go back home with such splendid appetites that we feel sure our summer outing must have been of immense benefit to us. Thus it was with the Posey family. They came home a hungry army, and Mrs. Posey’s experience of moan tain fare had giver her such an exalted idea of the importance of the kitch en, that from this time forward, she looked upon cookery as the finest of the fine arts. She laid aside her crazy quilts, her crochetted tidies, her patchwork sofa cushions, her rus tic picture frames, and other artistic trash with which modern women delight to lumber up their houses, and betook herself to the cooking-stove with a zeal that brought tears of gratitude to the eyes of her husband. But there was one branch of the culinary art that neither Mrs. Posey nor any other honse-keeper in Sugar Hill had ever been able to compass—the art of making French rolls like aunt Beady Pounds. The old darkey had for years enjoyed a pre-eminence in this de partment that gave her a monopoly of the trade, and no swell 3upper or breakfast on Apple- blosssom street was ever complete without a dish of aunt Beady’s French rolls. But Mrs. Posey, like all true lovers of art, had grown ambitions, she was gaining a reputation among the notable house-keepers of Su gar Hill, and wanted to have only home-made bread on her table; she would; get aunt Beady’s exact recipe and work at it till she could turn out a plate of rolls equal to aunt Beady’s own. Intent upon this landahlo design, she went round io Larned St. one day, and made her desire known to aunt Beady. “Law, honey, hit’s jes’ ez easy ez dirt,” said the old darkey, placing her fat arms akim bo, and beaming all over with satisfaction at this tribute of her skill, “an’ I kin tell you in a minute jes’ ezackly how to mek ’em. I’se ’splained it to a dozen ladies in Sugar Hill, I reckon, an’ I can’t on’erstan’ why none uf ’em ain’t ever ben able to suckceed, case hit ’taint a bit er trouble. You teks about ez much flour ez you think ’ll do, ’an lard enough to give it de right shortnin’, an fresh aigs accor din’ to your flour, and beat ’em seperate befo’ you puts ’em in; an’ you mixes yo’ dough wid water enough to mek it de right insistency; you mus’ be very keerful not to git yo’ dough nuther too thick nor too thin, fur ef you does, hit woan’ rise, an’ ” “But aunt Beady,” interrupted the bewil dered housekeeper, “I want to know the exact proportions—just how much flour, and lard, and eggs, and other ingredients to put togeth er.” “Law, chile, hit doan mek a hit er diffunce ’bout de popotious an’ de greediness,” replied aunt Beady, blandly, “ ’ceppin’ only ef der is ve’y greedy, or dar is a heap nf ’em t’eat, you teks mo’. Mis. Jedge Carnes, when de cote meet ’an she have a heap er cump’ny, inginer- ly sen me three quarts er flour to a risin’, hut yo’ fambly beiu smaller, you mought not keer fur so much.” “No, I suppose one quart would do for us,” suggested Mrs. Posey, congratulating herself that at last she hal got down to something definite. “Yes, one quart mought do fur a small ris in’,” assented aunt Beady. “One quart flour”—wrote Mrs. Posey in her recipe book—“and how much lard to a quart of flour?” she continued appealing again to aunt Beady. “Jes’ enough to give it de right shortnin’,” answered the old negro patronizingly, “but you mus’ be keerful not put too much short nin’ in light bread, or it ’ll mek it fall.” “Will a table spoonful do?” inquired Mrs. Posey tentively. “Yes’m, I reckon so, depen’in on de size er de spoon, an’ ef you fine hit’s too much, you kin add a little mo’ flour.” “One table spoonful of lard,” was next en tered on Mrs. Posey’s book. “And now” con tinued this persevering seeker after knowl edge, “bow many eggs to a quart of flour?” “Dal’s jes’ accordin’ to de ins'stenoy er yo’ dongh, an’ how much water you’se gwine to put in,” replied aunt Beady adjusting her head handkerchief, “yon mus’ jes’ keep a wurk- in’ it np, an’ addin a little flour, or water, or aigs, whichever is needed, tell y*’ dough gits de right insistency to rise good, an’ den stop; ef you gits it too saft yo’ bread ’ll run an’ spread; an’ ef it’s too thick, hit’ll be tough.” “I’ll have to guess at the water,” said Mrs. Posey to herself, “and the yeast,” she added aloud, “how much of that amt what kind?” “De eas’, dat’s de mos’ diffikilt pint fur de ginerality er folks,” answered aunt Beady, with emphasis; “an’ de reason why so many uf’em fails in risin’ dere bread, is ’caze dey ain’ pertickler ’bouten de eas’. Some lacks pertater^as’, ah’ some everlastin’, an’ some gits sto’eas’ fum de dreggis’es, but fur me, I uses de hop eas’; hit’s de mos’ sartiD, an’ de handies’ to keep by you all de time. But you must be sho’ to git it made jes’ right, an’ put in jes’ ezactly enough to riBe yo’ bread good— no mo’ nor no less. Ef you gits too much, hit’ll be sour, an’ ef you doan git enough it’ll be heavy. An’ den, atter you git yo’ dongh waked up wid de eas’ an’ set to rise, you mus’ be ve’y keerful to keep it het even’in’ all de time, ’caze ef you don’t, hit’ll be sho’ to spile. I nuver fails wid my momin’ risin’, ’caze in cool weather I always wrops ii up in a napkin an’ teks it to bed wid me over night an’ keeps it nn’er de kiver wid aie, whar it's kep at a even’in’ heat all night. Ef you’ll do dat, you woan nuver fail to fine yo’ momin’ dough liz beautiful, ’caze de warmih er yo’ bodyTl keep it het jes’ right all de time. I’se Den a risin’ my dough dat away fur twenty yeer, an’ ain’ nuver knowed it fail yet. I’se mekin’ a risin’ er Frei ch rolls now fur Mis Brockn’ton, which’n she’ a gwineter have cump’ny to night, an’ as M’ria Jane have ben sick in bed all day wid de neurolygy an’ ain’ fitten fur nothin’ else, I put ’em to bed wid her an' let ’em stay dar tell lime fur dere second wukin’ over, an’ dey’se jes’t riz perfeck, ez you kin see fur yo’se’f ef you goes dar to-night.’ Mrs Posey did not pursue her investigations further. She had learned a good deai more than she expected, atd went home satisfied to do without aunt Beady’s rolls in future. 2,000 HANDSOME PRESENTS FREE!

Perfect and Absolute Cure for the tforst Cases of Chills; Also a Fine Remedy for Sorethroat, Head ache, Neuralgia, Malarial Fever and General Debility. Twelve months of severe suffering from chills and fevers left me, as I supposed, a hopeless invalid. The best physicians and every known remedy brought me no relief and I decided to try an invention of my own, and to my great astonishment it effected a com plete and permanent care. I then determined to send the remedy abroad for suffering hu manity, and wherever it has gone it has pro duced marvellous results and brought back countless expressions of gratitude from multi tudes who have been soundly healed by its magic touch. In Cincinnati I refused several times to take *5,000 for the patent, and have since refused various liberal offers for it. It is indeed a thorough Master of Chills, and will destroy them completely in the worst malarial sections where no other known rem edy will produce any effect upon them. It has been found also to be a fine tonic for general debility and delicate constitutions. It will strengthen and build them up permanently. It is a fine appetizer, excellent remedy for neuralgia, sorethroat, remittent and intermit tent fevers, and has been recommended for dyspepsia. Try it and be healed, and then tell it to your suffering neighbor. If your druggist does not have it on hand, tell him to order it for you from the under signed. Mrs. J. D. Boxley. Ocooquan, Va. UEAD THESE VOLUNTEER CERTIFICATES: Mrs. J. D. Boxley: Havine tried the Chill faster in many cases of malarial fever, per mit me to offer my mite of praise. It is in my opinion all yon claim for it, and I earnestly hope it will obtain the extensive sale it so well deserves. It is without doubt a great boon to sufferers with chills and fever. A. Bowie, M. D. Benton, Ala., April 18, 1887. Mrs. Boxley: My wife was cured of neural gia by the use of your Chill Master. I have heard your remedy much praised and can rec ommend it myself. F. Hast. Post Oak, Ga., July 7, ’87. Mrs. Boxley: I used your Chill Master with success in my practice. J. A. Lipscomb, M. D. Memphis, Tenn., July 27, ’87. Mrs. Boxley: Two doses of your medicine cared me of chills. I recommend it to all sufferers from chills. A. J. Messey. Westmoreland C. House, Va , April 7, ’87. Mrs. Boxley: I tried the Chill Master in my family, and with one bottle I cured five cases of chills. I recommend it to all suffering with chills and fever. A. Atkekson. Washington, D. C., July 4, ’87. Mrs. Boxley: I suffered with chills four years.
