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.

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 *' Wedding March.” She was attired iu a rich robe of French faille, trimmed with duchess and point lace.

Flavius Wi’der, a colored boy well, known in this city, came to hia death near Iamonia last Saturday iu a rath er peculiar manner.

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 ever you' unfortunately need optical goods, this is the place to come. He hss everything required to improve affected eyes and to determine the re quired treatment. " Qhl” exclaimed Polly, as they halted before a show window, “what a perfectly lovely tipper.” “Yes,” said Uncle Josh, Watt, Harley & Smith’s stock can’t be equaled in etyte and extent in this section; come in and iookjit over.” It might Tiave been policy not to have extended that invitation, bad not Uncle Joeh known how wise economy it is to trade at Watt, Harley $ Smith’s for Polly found goods and prices so seductive that she. purchased an outfit from satin slipper to" a handsome wslking Hon. S. A. Roddenbery reached home last night from Atlanta, where he has bee i the past-fifty days as a member if tho Legislature. Although quite a young,man, Mr. Roddenbery has made his mark in the House. He has served his constituents ably and well, and they are proud of him. check bock. Come with me and I will introduce you to J. T. Culpep per, the Cashier, forot course you will do business with him, and it is al- ways a pleasure to be personally aci quainted with the men yon do busi ness with. This bank is as solid "as 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.

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.

Culpepper, a young white man bring in or hear Meigs, in this county, wasjbronght here last night by Constable Hand and Dr. Auitman and turned over to Sheriff Doss, who locked the yonng man up. 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 bat assert most positively that he 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. The Bill Unconstitutional.
