The Goldens presented •’Forget Mc-Not” at the opera houae, Fri day night, to a very large hojia^ notwithstanding the extreme bad weather. While the play does not abound in a heavy plot, it wds ad mirably rendered, and.clicitcd pro found admiration. There : wef» some beautiful scenes that were id vivedly rendered as to forever im press them upon the minds of the listeners. As for the merits of ‘‘Forget-Me-Not,” it would be hard to conceive anything mare realistic than Mrs. Golden’s presentation of tbat charaoter, |nd we could, with equal force, say the same of Mr. Golden’s “Sir Horace Welby.” _ It was all so real that when the faoe in the garden was shown wo could feel tho terror and anguish ot Stephanie.” The thrilling situation ot the last act was only equaled by tho mar velous manner in wbiob the Gol den’S hold tip their parts in the long interview in the second act. It is a good troupe throughout, and one which will delight any lover of the drama. The troupe la superior to wbat it was last year, although they have been traveling, under difficul ties, so many of them being ill.

A Live Evangelist. Mr. George J; Garrett, the cn terprising and genial commercial evangelist, has been putting in his missionary work among our raer. chants the past few days with great success in converting them to the belief that the No. 11 cigar is the best made. He represents Gairett de Sons, of Columbus, Ga., and the Shield Cigar Factory, No. 96 At torney St., N. Y., of which they are proprietors. They mannfac. ture the No, 11 and 100 per cent, cigars, which have attained such great popularity among smokers, If our dealers in cigars wish to increase their trade, they wili give their orders to George, whom they will know' by the big seal ring on his finger and the il'nminating smile on his countenance. Tho Last Chance. OAing tb the high license, Prof. M. Forst will remain in tbit eity but one week longer, and those who wish to procure a pair of his Bra. ziliau pebble glasses should 1m. prove the opportunity. The Pro fessor is an experienced and skill ful optician and can fit the glasses to your eyes so as to improve and preserve the! sight. Remember that he warrants all bis goods and will exchange at any time those that do not suit. You can find him at J. M. Coker’s harness store or at the Aliqn House. Call and see him and examine his recommendations end then try his glasses. He has al ready supplied many of our best eltizens with them. Sharp Practice. Saturday morning a negro named Gabe.Rogers bought four pair of shoes from J. H, Black & Sons, and left three pair wrapped in a bundle with his name on them. After a short while a strange negro s oameiaand asked for Gabe’s shoes, iloh h » a y in e tUa( ' the 'otter had sent him •tf 0 ,—* 0 for them. The bundle was given him, and he left. In about fifteen tninutes Gabo came in and asked for them, and was dumfonnded when he found that the other ne' gro, whom he had not seen at ali, had got bis goods. As there was no clue to the negro’s identity, of and did not do so notil he had been struck bj Tooke twice, the second blow breaking his arm, from wbiob he is now suffering. We, by onr slgnatnree, attest that Tooke was a desperate negro, and one we stood in mortal fear of for onr llvi death, and onr community at Stewart's Crossing is once more qniet and peacea ble.
