CHAMPION CORBETT.
He Draws a Big Audience in the
Opera House.
James J. Corbett and hia company
of athletes played to the biggest bouse
of the season Wednecday night. The
people went there for the purpdse.Df
seeing the champion, and the fact
that the show itself was very “bum,'
did not in the least disappoint the au
dience, so long, as Corbett exhibited
jiimself. There were; a number of
boxing contests, several of which were
by local amateurs,a few musical speci
alties by burnt cork artists, a miser
ably rendered song and dance bj a
female. member of the troupe and
lastly Corbett’s three round sparring
mateh with Donaldson. ; The work of
the amateuis was very mueh^enjoyed
by the audience, /bat the sparring of
the professionals, Corbett and Don
aldson excepted* was received with
very little enthusiasm. The work'oi
the fema’e ^member of the company
was so bad that she was hissed off the
stage.
When Corbett and Dona!dson
stepped on the stage the champion
was received with the wildest applause
and every eye was fixed upon
him. Corbett is one of the finest
specimens of physical manhood in the
country. He stands six feet one inch
high in his bare feel and is splendidly
proportioned. The muscles stand out
on every portion of hia body and be
looks os it composed entirely of bone
an<l sinews. He weighs 197 pounds
but there is no superfluous flesh on
him. His arms are long and well
developed and the rapidity with
which he u*tB them is remarkable.
The. m< s: noticeable portions of the
pugilist’s anatomy are his neck and
shoulders, which are extremely large
and muscular. Corbett hsa a very
striking face, Ijgs a quick and
intelligent eje, a long, shapely nose
and a strong determined mouth. The
re nark ible activity and agility die
dlayed by him while sparring was the
wonder of all. Although h : s adver

guished gentleman from 'Thomasville,
Ga. i The'handsome old plantation
mansion was elegantly decorated for
the occasion. The parlors were trans
formed into a garden bower of fra
grance and beauty. At the further
end of the apartment there was a
fairy arch,'made of palms and ferns,
from the center of which hung a
lovei’s knot of white chrysanthemums
and maidenhair fern. The groom
awaited his bride beneath this arch; he
was attended by his best man, Dr. J.‘
T, Bringier. The bride entered the
rooms to the strains of Mendelssohn’s

addressed the young couple on the
duties of the matried state, and then
pronounced the words which forever
united their loving hearts. A beau

Champion Corbett was one of the
visitors at the festival given by the
ladies for the benefit of the Guards on
Thursday night. The "big man -or-
dered a plate of oream, handed over
a five dollar bill and refused to act
ceptany change. His liberality se
cured him the friendship of every lady
interested ia the affair.
A few weeks subsequent to the
above conversation, a travel-stained
party arrived at Thomasviife. Our
friend Uncle Josh was in charge and
he !ei the party straightway to. a ho,
tel. The Stuart said he, “is a typical
2 or 3 dollar per day hotel of the best
o’ass.” . I have known C. T. Stuart,
proprietor, for many years, and he is
mine bust after my own heart. A
thorough business man, he is endowed
with that delightful intuition that
makes a guest feel at home, comtorta,
bio, contented aud in mighty good
luck. The house is a marvel ot con
venience; the .apartments are hand
somely furnished; the cuisine all that
a superior chef and unlimited orders
on the market can [make it, and the
attendants polite and expert."
“Having already provided you
with a cage for your bird,” said Uncle
Josh, “the first thiog we’ll Took after
will be the furnishings for it." 'Here
upon Polly energetically declared
that she had heard so much about
Thompson & Co. that she desired to
go there. The result wss that they
ore ushered into such bewildering
display that the girl was at first at a
loss how to se!c:t. But she soon
yielded to the seductiveness of a mag
nificent parlor suite, a bedroom set in
oak (antique finish) that would have
done credit to old Antiquity herself.
To thiq she added a dining room set
with all accessories, a complete kitch-
en outfit, and didn’t forget. a most
convenient and ornamental writing
desk for “Hubby” Charles.
‘A pretty good start,” said the old
n, "and now we’ll go to B. D,
Fudge’s hardware store.” Here Pol
ly’s house-wifely instincts had full
play in marvels ol kitchen apparatus.
There is not an establishment in
town that carries a more compreheni
siye stock of household furnishings.
Every possible piooo of kitchen fnrni-
turp, from a tin dipper to a cooking
range is here in all styles and variety.
If poily fails to accomplish wonders in
the culinary art, it will not ba tor
fault oi superior cooking utensils. For
she bought an old reliable Farmer
Girl stove and all other equipments
needed in a well regulated kitchen.
‘Lot’s see—I promised ycu a gold
watch, didn’t it” queried Uncle Josh
qf Polly. “Tho place of all places i
town is Joseph Jerger, so we’d go
there.’’ Entering the popular jewel-
ry store, the old man gallantly acquit
ted himself oi his promise and then
directed Polly's attention to the supe
rior stock of silverware carried by the
house. “ There is no other suoh house
in town said the old man, “and I will
guarantee the quality to ba the very
best. Pick out your family clock
here,” he " added. Mr. Jerger
carries a magnificent line. “Don't
forget another faot,” "he continued, “if

the base of the universe, and has a
working capital of 8100,000. You
will find them ever ready to extend
any accommodations compatible with
business principles.”
At this point Uncle Josh suggested
a resort to-some place of refreshment.
At the reireahment table Unde
Josh waxed philosophical, “never
noglectyour larder,” said he, “that
important adjunct of .housekeeping,
controls masculine temper. To that
end yon must patronize a grocer on
whom yon can depond for honest
goods. Through a long term of yean
I have found Pringle Brea perfectly
reliable. You will find him a careful
dealer,always full stocked with every
possible thing iu the line of staple and
fancy groceries, fresh and first-class—
no shelf worn goods there—while the
prices are ‘down! to brass tacks.’
Pringle Bros, are sole agents here for
Chase and Sanborn’s coffees and Ten
ney’s candies, considered by all to be
the best on earth-”
“By the way, Unde," exclaimed
Polly,“where can I go tor dry goods?
This dress of mine is hardly suitable
I must admit” “Well, tny girl, if
you want to select from one of the
rnosL cntensively stocked establish'
meats in the city, I will direct yon to
Steyerman & Bro. who carry a line
of dress goods that for variety and
real valne, is sddom seen outside the
largest metropolitan dries. They
carry all the latest weaves in fashion
able dress goods and you are sure to
be guided right iu your selections.
You will fiud Steyerman & Bro.
pleasant to deal with and their em
ployes polite and expert, while their
prices cannot be duplicated.”
At this point, somewhat to the con
fusion of Charles, the old man ins
dulged in a hdf-serions criticism of
his personal appearance. “You are
deddedly off style for a townsman,”
said ho, “and we'd better go over to
L. Steyerman & Bro.’e clothing store.
After Charley had fitted himself oat
in a neat and late Btyle business suit
from the piles of fashionable garments
that cover the tables of this extensive
ly stocked establishment, Unde Joeh
declared that “now you look like a
newly married man.” Before leav
ing, having fonnd goods and prices
irresistible, Charles also invested in a
complo outfit of gents* furnishing
goods, irom the latest style hat to a
dozen shirts. This house is not to be
undersold in Georgia.
While Unde Josh was pondering
where to go next, Polly-suddenly
asked: “Unde, where can I find the
leading millinery establishment ?”
“Just a few doors further on,” re
marked Unde Josh, “and we will
visit Mite Laura Jones’ who, by the
way has on hand one ot the complet
es t stocks of millinery to be found in
the city. You can get what you
want there, the latest styles aud low
est prices being her motto. She has
the experience which guarantees that
when you have purchased of her you
h&vo the thing at th8 lowest possible
price.” Aad a few hours later there
was never a happier lady than Polly,
for she not only purchased millinery
goods, but also toys aad playthings
tor all the little folks she knew.
“As you are going to keep a hone,
remarked Unde Josh, ’yon'ii need
harness. The boss horse milliner in
this section is Griffin. He employs
only first-class workmen and gives
personal supervision to the minutest
detail of manufacture. There
nothing iu his line that cannot be
had of him—heavy and light, single
and double,' plain and fancy, work
and buggy harness, he has all of them
in stock and the finest line of saddles
whips aqfl robes yon ever laid your
eyes upon."
'Halt!" commanded the generous
man as the two came in front of
R. L. Hicks & Co.’s handsome drug
store. “Come in.” “Why Unde,
we’re not tick.” “Well, I guess
know that, but suspect it won’t be
very long before this yonng man be-
gins to take a decided interest in mat
ters of paregoric.” “Uncle—”“Come
anyway, Polly may find Something
she wants.” And before leaving
Hicks & Co.’s store she was loaded
down with combs, brushes, fancy
soaps, several ounces of fioe “Rick-
seeker” perfumes and a Christmas
present lor each of her numerous rel
ative]. Unde Joeh then continued,
“Yon must have your prescriptions
filled here as Hicks & Co. are com,
petent pharmacists and use none but
the purest and most wholesome
drugs.”
“I declare. Unde,” exclaimed
Charles, there goes a handsome phae
ton, I must have one like that for
the girl.” “Get it right here,” sen-

which he will not stop short of per,

En route to their home" the gentle,
men called at the Thies-Enteeteise
office. “You’ll want the news every

is the favorite paper ot this section,

Upon re-joining Polly began to

Culpepper is charged with commit-
ingrape upon Miss Minnie A. Nelsons
yonng womanliving in the same neigh-
borhood. The young woman’s father
swore out the warrant and Culpepper
was carried before Justice Stubbs, who
committed him to jail It is alleged
the warrant Hthat the crime was
committed on or about the 20th ot
last July, "but nothing was said about
matter until yesterday when the
warrant was issued. Culpepper does
deny, so we understand, being on
intimate terms with the young wom

not commit rape. The general
■entiment of those who are in posses
sion of the facte is that Culpepper can
not be convicted of the crime with
which he stands charged.
