Boms Excellent Shows Are Booksd S'or
the Future.—What They Are—Several
Changes Made.
“Well, how’s the Opera House?”
said a Recorder representative to
Manager Glover yesterday.
"All right, and things are mov
ing along nicely. Some changes
have been made In future dates,
and right here I want to say that
we are going to have some excel
lent attractions
“Show folks say that Amerleua
Is the best show town for its size In
the South, and hence we get better
attractions than any city of our
size. The people appreciate good
•hows, and, as a rule, turn out well,
though occasionally they let a good
show go by without seeing It.
Theu, too, occasionally we, as well
as they, get bit and bock a poor
affair, but we have been especially
careful, aud I don’t think we will
have another that will not please
them.”
And it does look like those book
ed for llie future are good. Some
of them have made splendid repu
tations, and are known to our peo
pie as such, while all those uot
known come well reeommeuded.
The booking has recently been
revised, some booked will not come,
aud others have made dates.
Hence, their list revised, is pub
lished, and you can see for your
self that much pleasure Is in store
for the theatre goers.
The uext play, as already adver
tised, Is A1 Field's minstrels, which
shows here on the 17lh. It has
made quite a .reputation and wtit
draw a big house..
On the I9th aud 20th Hattie Ber
nard Chase will again be with us.
She always attracts the people aud
.rill have a big house.
On the 24th we have lleushaw
<fc Tenbroeck.
Christmas night Little Lord
Fauntleroy will hold the boards,
All who have read the ohannlng
little story are anxious to see the
play, and as It is put up by a strong
company the house will be tilled.
The 30th of December, another
minstrel, and a good one, will be
here. This time it is Primrose aud
West’s, and they give a good
•how.
January was to be opened by
Dawson and Tennyson’s gift show,
butjlt Is understood that this combi
nation has gone under and will not
be here.
On the fourth of the month
regular old time Humpty Dempty
will amuse the people. And Mia-
co’b it will be. He baa always car
ried the best troupe of this kind on
the road, and the people are anx
ious to see another.
Bell Emerson, in the Sky Rocket
show on the seventh. The play
comes well recommended.
Charming Annie PixTey wilt be
here the fourteenth. Everybody
knows her and it la not neoassary
to add anything to the shoals of
praise bestowed upon her from all
.quarters. She Is a favorite In
Americus, as well as everywhere,
and will draw a big bouse.
W. H. Power’s Ivey Leaf com
pany Is booked for the 18th. It is
said to be an especially strong play,
presented by an excellent com
pany.
■ “The Wile” ends the booking yet
made for January on the 21st. No
words of praise can be too strong
tor thla play or the tronpe. Last
year Henry Grady gave Ita column
of the brlghteet praise in hie paper,
and no company ever deserved It
more. The writer of Ibis has seen
it, and eau recommend it as one of
the mt^t moral and best shows ever
South. The plot le most Interest
ing, and is brought out In a splen
did manner. If the house is not
packed on this date, U will be one
time When onr people fall to appre
ciate an excellent performance.
February le opened on the second
with Robert Downing. It is need-
leie to say anything of him, as .the
people know nitn too well. He will
be greeted here with a packed
honse.
“One-of the Bravest” appears pn

Thornes Keene, booked for the

Washington, Dei. 18 —The
Force bill people are making a des
perate effort to effect somp com
promises before their dual caucus
Monday night. A number of
propositions have been talked
about. One plan Is to so amend
the blit so as to make its application
general, without petitions from
voters and the elimination of the
bayonet clause. To satisfy silver
men, the extreme radicals are
ready to agree to anything. The
best opinions are that the Force
bill will be laid aside on Tuesday
next.
Senator Daniel, from committee
on Public Buildiugs .and Grounds,
reported Mr. element's bill for a
public building at Rome. The ap
propriation for the improvement is
$50,000. Tills bill is a House measure.
J. G. Zaobry, formerly of Atlan
ta, aud for some yeaiB a prominent
young attorney of the city, will
liiove to New York and practice
law. It is hinted that Mr. Zachry
has nm<le some connection with
the West Point Terminal Company
people, and has that job In hand.

Atlanta, December 13.—The
house met this morning at 9
o’clock. There-wasa slim attend
ance, owing to the fact that many
legislators pull out for home on
Friday night
Tlie friends of education have
not yet deserted the cause and this
morning the first thing done was to
make an effort to reconsider the
action of yesterday in refusing to
grant appropriations to branch col
leges.
Ail sons of plans were worked,
but Humphries & Co. held their
own and the effort to reconsider
miscarried.
The matter may or may uot be
up again. If It is It will, in all
prolpbillty.have to be Is some other
shape.
The friends of education dislike
exceedingly to ser such a blow made
at the State institutions, and will
use every means to prevent such a
thing going Into effect.
The tax and appropriation bill
both passed the House this morn
ing.
To-day Governor Nortben signed
the bill to increase the number of
comQpnlea of the Second Georgia
battalion so as to form the Second
Georgia regiment. Little else of
interest was transacted at to-day’s
session. It is generally believed
both Houses will be ready for ad
journment next Saturday.
Th*y Are Lovely.
A Recorder representative was
given a glimpse at the dressing
gowns and veet* to be opened at
T. Wheatley’s, Monday, and a hand
somer line was never seen by him.
For a gentleman no better Christ
mas present could be found. He
also has a line nf^nll dress vests,
which are simply beautiful.
^AIl space will be devoted to their
exhibition Monday, and all, es
pecially the ladles, are Invited to
come and look at them.

Never wss there a more delight
ful danos than that of Friday night.
And how could It be otherwise?
For besides the charming array of
Americus’bsautlful daughters, there
were present two lovely visitors In
honor of whom the dance was
given.
Miss Annie Lou DeJsrnette, of
Atlanta, has been visiting Miss
Flora Wheatley for the past two
weeks, and was one of the two to
whom the occasion was compli
mentary. The other was Miss
Mary Bones Dougherty, of Augusta,
for the week a visitor to Miss Alice
Wheatley.
Tbesetwo young ladles are .belles
of the respective cities whloh are
made proud to be known as their
homes, and since being here have
gathered around them a eirele of
ardent admirers, who delight to do
them honor, and who are, if sueh
a thing be possible, extravagant
in their praises of'tbeir fascinations
and charms.
The German of Friday night was
given in tbeir honor, and their
presence added much to the happi
ness of the occasion. And it wat a
happy occaelou. All present
united in expressing verbally, aud
by sparkling eyes and glorious
countenance the joy experienced,
aud old Morpheus was Ailed with
Jealousy of Telpsichore before the
last sweet waltz had been tripped
to a finish.
Never did the fair mladens look
more beautiful or appear to more
advantage, and the evening was
one where joy reigned supreme.
V
The Literary club recently re
organized, met again Friday night
at the residence of Major M. Speer,
and the time was most pleasantly
spent. ,
First, business was attended to,
the constitution and by-laws were
adopted, ana the name deolded
upon. This Is “TnE Club."
The business part of the program
took up only a few minutes, and
then those present were treated to
styne delightful music and reelta-
tions.
Tblsolub Is to be, and Is already,
a most potent factor In the social
pleasure of the city, and its reor
ganization Is hailed with delight.

As has been announced through
the columns of The BKcobder Mr
R. L. Maynard and Miss Susie
Sheppatd will be united In the
bouda of matrimony next Thurs
day. This event was qnlte a sur
prise to nearly all the friends of the
couple, and congratulations have
already been flowing tn. They will
leave the day of the marrlege for
the home of the groom in Foreytb,
where they will spend’ the Christ
mas holidays.

About this time'of the year the
young gentlemen usually begin to
get worried over the matter of
Christmas presents. What must
be sent to hie best girl? And what
must he send to the numerous
other young ladles whom he olaims
aefriends? The ^question is hard
enough to a man of unlimited
means, ana to the great majority
of yonng men, nearly all or whom
work for a salary, It 1* of vital Im
portance.
He cannot afford to give an ex-
penslve present, and yet be wants
to and thinks he must get some
thing elegant.
The ladles, too, are In the same-
fix. They have many gentlemen
friends who they think expect
something, and from whom they,
wonld not be surprised to receive a
present.
The most sensible way ont of this
dilemma, and the one usually
adopted, 1j the Christmas cards.
They show a remembrance of the
recipient, aud are all that is ex
pected. If a young manor a young
.lady baa a number of friends whqm
they wish to show are remembered,
and are still held as friends, these
qards are most applicable. If they
have a Mend especially dear, some
thing else may bs sent, but ac
cording to the latest society canon
these are sufficient in all cases but
one.
...
If, however, something else la de
sired, there it now a greater abun
dance of handsome and appropriate
gifts to choose from than ever be
fore. To take a look over the goods
displayed by those who deal insnoh
goods Is sufficient toconvlnee one
of this fact, .after seeing them one
esn not bat help wish for an unlim
ited pocket book.
Jewelry Is lovelier than ever. The
lines displayed In the elty are enoh
as to allow any one to find an ap
propriate gift for anybody. And
the tame may be said of other lines
of goods. If yon have the amount
of lucre necessary you will have
no trouble In choosing presents.
If yoo haven’t, why, send card*.
•**
On the line of Christmas pres
ents, one of Americas’ most popu-
Isr and oharming yonng ladies said
yeaterda^:
“I just don’t know what to do.
I have a great many gentlemen
friends, but I don’t know whether
to send them remembrances or noil
I consider them friends, but If they
don’t send me something, say a
card, why I don’t think I ought to
•end them anything. Then sup
pose I were to receive a present of
some kind from them late Christ
mas dsy. I would feel bsd because
I had not sent them aoytblng. So
you see I am In a dilemma. I have
many whom I call friends, and if
they consider me the tame way, I
would delight in sending them
something. But I don’t know
whether they will send me any-,
tblug or not, aDd I don’t know
what to do.”
