LOCAL TALENT’S FINE EFFORT
programme of Pleasing Produc
tions and Picturesque Pa-
Ke an try.
Wealth and fashion turned out
en masse last Thursday evening,to
witness the long promised mins
trel show given by a score of the
prominent society leaders of our
c j ty . It can be safely said that
never before in the. history of Car
tersville, has such a galaxy ot
wealth and beauty been seen at
any social function. The grand
opera house, especially decorated
for the occasion, presented a scene
of marvelous beauty; the flashing
of jewels and the bright costumes
of the ladies contrasting strongly
with the more severe evening dress
of the gentlemen present.
The programme, a long and va
ried one, was replete with musical
gems, and a continuous fire of wit
and mirth was maintained from
the rising of the curtain until its
fall after the final number.
Mr. Harry Perry, with the assis
tance of an old fashioned iron crank
and two squeaky pulleys, guve a
curtain raiser which was a success
fin every way, and which prepared
[the way for more good things to
[follow. When the applause in np-
Ipredation of Mr. Perry’s efforts
[had died away tho. e present had
■ time to observe the following well
■known gentlemeu in the ciicle;
I Bones —Mr, Robert Preston Mor-
Igan, of Emerson and Boston. Tam
pio—Mr. Henrv Milner; Messrs.
iPaul Akin, Joseph Calhoun, Ben
■jani in Purse, interlocutor; Tom
■Milner, John Calhoun, Wat Mil
liter, B. C. Sloan,of “Mawntanner;”
■Felton Jones, Lewis D. Knight,
liWard McAllister.)
I We greatly deplore the fact that
■ack of space will not admit our
■giving; a detailed description of
Itsch number; but the following
were especially worthy of mention;
I At the tap of the conductor’s
Baton, the beautiful strains of
■Mendelssohn’s wedding march
■ with variations) fell upon the ears
■)f the delighted audience, causing
■ perceptible nervousness on the
■part of the unmarried ladies pres
ent. This number was fittingly
■rendered by the “Hardlv Abie
■Quartette” in a thoroughly char
■aeteristic manner. For list of cas
ualties see another column Fol
lowing this Mr. Robert Preston
■Morgan, the well known mining
■expert of this county, gave a deli
Iciously humorous monologue en-
Btitled, “M> pursuit of Manganese”
■This we understand to have been
■Mr. Morgan’s own production, and
■t speaks volumes for that gentle
■ttau’s originality. Scarcely had
■'‘e applause aud laughter died
Jway, when Mr. Henry Milner
Ranie forward and delighted every-
B)°dy with a Puzzle Song with
B ail jo obligato entitled “Mary had
B ,” but those present were
■eit somewhat indoubt as to just
■''hat Mary did have, altho’ the im-
Biession got abroad that it was
Bmething serious. Mr. B. C.
B loan Showed with a screamingly
B Ulin y dialect speech “Degraded
■Telegraph Lines in Mawntanner,”
Bh- Sloan having spent some time
B 1 Montana imitates, the dialect of
B he gfeat west in a manner all his
B Wn - A little touch of pathos was
Beverly introduced at this point
Bv Mr. Paul Akin, who sang‘’Over
B he Bannisters,” with so much
Bepth of expression that three old
Bdies in tne balcony were over*
B°nie by their feelings and were
B r e.-d to retire fiom the ball.
■ The only accident which occur-
■ erl }° mar an otherwise perfect
B ’ening was during the bass solo
Bl y Mr. Joseph Calhoun, that gen
■ email's chest notes i e oming en-
B dll ltled in the eltctiic light wires
B n Basement. Fortunately no
was injured, and only a slight
*rQ a i was necessary in order to
Be.mit the j an jt or) w ho luckily

THE NEWS AND (DURANT.
The Milner Brothers, Mr. Wat
Milner and Mr. Tom Milner, with
their usual dash and sprightliness,
presented a serio-comic skit called
“The Furniture Sisters,Rose Wood
and May Hogan(v), the grace and
abandon of which performance
cannot be too highly commended;
Following this Mr. Felton Jones
brought down the house wth
“What did Dugan do to Him?"
Mr. John Calhoun came next with
a soulful little dittiy entitled
“Ameu," which was much appre
ciated by the musical talent pres
ent.
The piece de resistance however
was the last number on the pro
gramme when Mr. Lewis I). Knight,
looking like a Greek God,bis man
Iv beauty unsullied by the burnt
cork, his Norfolk Jacket falling as
smoothly as is its wont, to a high
pair of buttonless bottines; step
ped forward and delivered in a
stage whisper a masterly treatise
on “The Effect of Pretty Girls on
the Career of a Mining Engineer.”
We understand that had time per
mitted, this would have been re
duced to verse.
Cartersville society will look for
ward eagerly to a repetition of the
performance, which it is hoped can
be arranged for an early date. At
going to press all were resting
quietly.
THE DALLASTHIP-
Veterans and Friends Planning
Journey to Texas Town.
As we have before stated there
will be a good sized crowd that
will go from this locality to the r<_
union of the United Confederate
Veterans, at Dallas, Texas., April
22, 23, 24 and*2sth.
The railroad fare for the round
trip from Cartersville has been
fixed at $17.40. Tickets will be
good until May 2d, and by depos
iting same and paying 50 cents
may be extended to May 15th.
The railioads give it out that they
w’ill allow side trips from Dallas
to all nearby points at a very low
rate.
The Veura .s’ Special will go
through from Atlanta to Dallas,
via the N., C. & St. L. and Cotton
Belt, and will pass Cartersville be
tween 5 and 6 o’clock Sunday
afternoon 20th inst. It will reach
Dallas on the morning of the 23d.
Sleeping accommodations can be
had on this train in tourist’s slee
per at $2.50 per berth. By dou
bling. the cost to each will be but
$1.25. A carcatrbe chartered for
$25 per day, and thus cost 50 to 75
cents pea head.
It is important that the railroads
should know about how many are
going on the trip and who will
waut berths in the sleeper. A com
mittee from P. M. B. Young Camp
have beer seeking this information
and a request, in response to an
action of the camp that all names
should be reported to D. B. Free
man,was published in a former ar
ticle. The following names of
those contemplating going have
been so far reported: J. W. Her

?. M B. Young Camp has its
final meeting before the trip next

The Spir i of Winter.
The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presence known in
many .different wavs —sometimes
by cheery sunshine and glistening
snows, and sometimes by driving
winds and blinding stoims. To
many people it seems to take a
delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists
harder, twinges sharper, catarrh
becomes more annoying, and the
many symptoms of scrofula are
developed and aggiavated. There
is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it is a winder
more people don’t get rid of these
ailments. The medicine that cures
them —Hood’s Sarsaparilla—is eas
ily obtained and th, re is abundant
proof that its cures are radical and
permanent
