Under the Gas Light.
The “Under tjjp Gaslight** Compnny
ftppettred at L’Arioso opera house last
night. Tho house was packed.
The play was never, presented hero
before, bu| proved to ho*a first class
melodrama- -It kept tho audieucc in
a roar of applaugo from the time the
curtain was rung up until it fell on
the last act. Tho company was a
strong one, composed of eighteen
persons.— Brunswick Times.
Social World *
There has not been many entertain
ments given in the social world during
the past week'or two. This is proba
qbly due tp the ynfavofabte weather.
Quite a number ot visitors are in the
To-Night.
Speaking of the play “Under the
Gaslight," tho Norning News says:
"Under tbe Gaslight’ was played
before a fine audience Inst night. The
company,' under the management of
Mr. Rehan, is a good one. There are
no brilliant stars in it, hut the jrcople
are all artists aud capable of present
ing the play in an nrtistic manner.
The play itself is an interesting melo-
dramnr. Its realistio properties are
above the average. Every act is well
given, aud the audience last night
showed its appreciation by liberal ap
plause, The house was well filled,
and.lhesnleof seats for to-night assures
another good audience.”
Thomasville ought,to give the first
play of the season a good send off.

L. F. Livingston, of Newton, is the
only man in Georgia who can success
fully oppose Governor Gordon fo&the
United States Senate. You can make
a note of this and seo if wc nro not
right when the election is over.—Cov
ington Star. '•
Livingston hits two strong points in
his favor: he is an out and out sub
treasury tnan x and is not a lawyer.
There is a stroug under current in his
favor. Men are bobbing up all over
tbe stato, yelling for the sub-treasury
plan, but Livingston, after all, may
bo the man put forward against Gor
don. •
