According to promise
“Brownies” arrived at the South
Georgia College promptly Monday
evening. The brave Prince, ac
companied by "UncleSam,” him
self marshalled them gaily in. The
modern dude, resplendent in im
maculate attire, poet, sailor, sol
dier, Indian, Chinaman, clown
Ilop-o-my-Thuinb,aud manyothers
of note besides, and the sturdy po
liceman to keep order among
sprites. A'fter the pretty, well
executed march, all had an oppor
tunity to admire the costumes
charmingly fantastic and quaintly
droll, when down stepped the
fairy queen from H8r royal bower,
accompanied by ber fair maids of
honor, and appealed to the prince
for help against ber enemies, the
hornets, and readily obtaiued
promise of assistance, for we all
know how Browuies delight in
gallant deeds. Many bright, well
rendered choruses by both Brown
ies and fairies captivated the
audience and elicited rounds
applause; but especially would we
meution the duet by that dainty
maiden, 1‘Aesthetica,” personated
by Miss Hartley Patten a id ithe
charming dude, faultlessly repre
seated by Charlie Balfour,
gracefully performed. These tv*
also sang bolos which were ap
plauded with enthusiasm and the
duet wus repeated by request.
Charley Balfour displayed rare
versatility of talent in changing
so quickly from bis character of
dude to that of Italian organ
grinder with the “big a bear who
ao what I say,” and twas truly
bear remarkable for many accom
plishments.
Long will be remembered tbe
sweet face of little Hartley Patteu
as she ‘‘peeped from her perfumed
fan.”
The Brownies and fairies were
ably assisted .in their entertain
ment by Miss Chapman and tbe
Misses Brown, who rendered
choice selections of instrumental
music in artistic style, aud by
Miss Bessie Chase, who carried
through the arduous task of get
ting nine RuggleBes clothed and
in their right mind for their first
dinner party.
Miss Janie Brown detailed the
trials of an inventor’s wife most
feelingly.
Mr. James Watt also sang sweet
old Scotch songs as only a Scotch
man of heart and voice can sing
them, and was heartily appiaudec!
by a delighted audience.
Tbe entire affair reflected the
highest credit upon the amateur
peiformers, as well as upon those
older ones who so carefully and
patiently trained them. Every
one speaks in very high terms of
the entertainment, and we regret
that a larger audience did not
greet the juvenilo performers.
Miss Lucy Parker, who has been
attending Cox’s Female College at
Manchester, near Atlanta, came
down last night and will spend
some days in the city with rela
tives and friends before going to

Bush Bill Up.
Special to Times-Enterprise.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 3.—The
Busb bill was reached at twelve
thirty to-day. Numerous substi
tutes aud amendments have been
offered to tbe bill. The debate
was opened by Willingham, of
Monroe. Tbe bouse adjourned at
one o’clock. The fight over the

From the above it will be seen
that the fight is^fairly on over the
much-talked-of Bush bill. On
account of the many amendments
and substitutes to be debated and
voted upon, a final vote may not
be reached to-day.
An Able Member of the House.
Thomas county has furnished
the house one of its ablest mem
bers in tbe person of Judge Hop
kins. Speaking of him the At
lanta Journal says:
■Repretentativo Hopkins, of
Thomas county, is one of tbe
brainy men of the house. He is
oue of the ablest iu his section of
thsstate, and his friends will in
sist upon his coming to the senate
next time, as it is Thomas county’s
time to name the senator. When
a member of the senate, his friends
expect to present him as a candi
date for president of that body.”
Invited Here.
The Methodists of Tbouiasville
will extend an invitation to the
South Georgia Conference, which
meets in Fort Valley to-day, to
meet here next year. We hope
the invitation will be accepted.
Here they would find a cordial
welcome and comfortable homes.
Nothing would be left undone to
make their stay a pleasant one.
The Methodist church aud the en
tire community would be benefit
ted by the presence of those godly
men. Their influence would be
felt long after their departure to
their respective fields of labor. It
has been many years since Tbora-
asville entertained so large a body
of Christian workers, and she
would, on the occasion, fully sus
tain her reputation for hospitality.
The action of the Conference in
selecting a place for its next meet
ing, will be watched with inter
est by all classes of our people
Everyone hopes the invitation will
be accepted.
Justice Bibb held an inquest
yesterday afternoon on the body
of an infant which was found in
the garden of a colored man iu
tbe northern portion of the city
yesterday morning. Investiga
tion showed that the infant was
thrown there bv its mother, Mary
Bowman, colored, who lives next
door. The woman confessed to
having thrown the child away,
but claimed it was born dead.
The jury rendered a verdict to the
effect that the child probably came
to its death from natural causes.
We had a pleasant call yester
day from Mr. Ed F. Sisson, of
Chattanooga, Tern.,, Southern

Route, one of the largest railway

pects to come back when the sea
