A good audience greeted Hettie Bernard Chase at the Opera House last night, In "The Little Co quette,” and were well pleased with the performance. The sup port was above the average, and the little coquette herself was ex cellent. She is pretty and grace ful, and is without the common fault of soubrettes—that, overdoing the part. She always pleases Amerlcus audiences, and every en trance by her last night was a sig nal for applause. There will be a matinee this af ternoon, and "Uncle 1 . Darling” to-night. FINE BRICK. An Americas Enterprise That is Doing Wonders. Hamil’s brick yard is equal or su perior to any In the State. And that gentleman Informs us that In a short while he will be turning out 100,000 a day best brick In the country. Yesterday be brought several specimens of his work up to The Recorder office, and they are as good as any ever exhibited. His yard is down near Magnolia Dell, where he has an inexaustlble sup ply of the finest sort of clay. It is, the best brlok clay to be found, and the brlok Mr. Hamll shows are ex cellent In quality. This Is an Amerlcus Industry most prosperous, and which will ■ not only be profitable to the owner and managers, but a splendid ad- * vertlsement forthe oity. To the Buffering. Over one hundred columns of voluntary certificates have been printed In tbe Atlanta Journal from ■uoh people as Rev. J, B. Haw thorne, Rev. Sam P. Jones, Hon. H. W. Grady, Ms). Chas. W. Hub- ner, late of the "Christian Index,” Gen. James Longstreet, Col. W. Avery, late editor Atlanta "Constl- tion,” and hundreds of prominent divines, editors, doctors, specialists and others, certifying to remakable cures performed by Dr. King’s Roy al Germatner, after eminent physi cians and all known remedies had failed. Send two-cent stamp to King’s Royal Germatuer Co., At lanta, Ga., for book of particulars. It is truly a great remedy, mid •urelj cures when all else falls THE HOUSE QUESTION Grows Kora Bsrisoa Every Day. You will find many cities where there are plenty of houses, but no body to occupy them. Here Is a city with plenty of people, but no houses to oocupy. The Recorder has taken occa sion several times to mention the subject, and call the attention of capitalists to it, showing how our city was kept from growing as fast as it might by the Inability to se cure houses. We cortalnly bead the list of growing cities, and every contractor and meohaalo has as muohasheeando. Butsomethlng must bo done to provide for those who desire to move here, and thus give onr city loose rein, and let her do her best- , Yesterday, In hl0 round** a porter had no lest than half adoxen men to broach the eubject. Borne were married men who were work ing here, but wbose families were elsewhere, end whom they desired to have with them. Bald one: "I have been here some time, and am delighted with the city and mj& poaltlon, but would be much more bleated If I could get bold of a house and oould bring my faintly herd t can’t get one at any prloe, am? «an’t even find a place to board /without going to ft hotel, and tbls/I can’t afford to do.’.’ GOOD WORK.' Mr. H. T. Castleberry Buns Down a Chicken Thief. Yesterday The Recorder men tioned the stealing of 16 chickens from Mrs. W. W. Guerry. To-day the thief rests In tbe loek-up. The work was done by Mr. H. T. Castleberry, Mrs. Guerry's son. It seems that Thursday night Mr. Castleberry found some chick ens, which he knew to be bis moth ers, at Mr. Tom Guice’s meat mar ket. To be certain, however, he brought bis mother up, and she too identified tbe chickens. ^ Mr. Guiee told them from whom be bad bought tbem, describing tbe uegro. and saying that be work ed down at Mr. Wheatley’s variety shop. Mr. Castleberry went down there yesterday and found a ne gro answering the description, and recognized him as a negro be had bought some stolen ehlckens from a few weeks baok. The name of the negro was given as Osborn Bullook. He then came up town and saw Mr. Gulce. Mr. Gulce, too, had been on the lookout, and found out that the name of the negro who sold him the chickens was Jim Banders. Mr. Castleberry swore out a warrant for Jim Handers, and tbe officer who went down to Wheatley’s brought back the ne gro whose name had been given as Osborn Bullock. He was landed In tbe lock-up to await trial. Chicken stealing is getting too common an occurrence, and a few mure arrests like this will put an end to it.

The Invitations did not give any Inti mation of tbe kind of entertain ment It was to be, and the guests were most agrseably surprised by finding an old fashioned eandy palling awaiting them.

Tbe Columbus Enquirer-Sun of Thursday contained a lot of men tions of Amerlous. some of which will be read with interest by our citizens, and tbe faet that Chlok Niles Is responsible for them will add flavor. Here are some of tbem: Tbe Columbus delegation have been well treated by the people of Amerlcus. They registered about tbirty-five at tbe Alien House, and other guests, with whom the hotel was already filled, complained a little of being c>owded. This goes to show that Columbus requires a great deal of room wbeu slie goes abroad. Judge Fort presided over tbe ha beas corpus case with a fairness and ability that challenged tbe ap proval of both sides. Notwithstand ing the length of tbe proceedings bis Honor’s patience was never ex hausted nor bis temper rufiled. Tbe new Sumter court house Is an ornament to the oity and a cred it to the county. It is a splendid building, and tbe court room is handsome aud well arranged. It Is, however, sadly defective In tbe Important matters of lighting and heating. Tbe grand Jury yes terday recommended that the county commissioners take Imme diate steps to eorreet these defeets, a reeommendatlon wbleh .the court vigorously endorsed. Judge Fort stated to-day, while ■ every body was suffering from the chilly atmosphere, that be was not par ticularly fond of bolding an open air court, aud directed tbe Sheriff to break that piece of Information to the county commissioners. Col. Carey Thornton surprised bis Amerlous friends, who knew of hie loug illness, by bis physical strength and the vigor of his argu ment. Hts speech last night was the flrstextended argument be has attempted since he was taken sick, and the "old war horse” was con gratulated on all sides. The appointment of Judge Fort as a member of tbe railroad com mission gives untversalaatlsfaetion here. Indeed, tbe whole commu nity is rejoicing over it. The ap pointment will create a vacancy on the bench of this circuit, and the campaign for it has already opened. Among the names already mention ed are Judge Fish, of Oglethorpe; Col. Eugene Hawkins, sx-Senator Hawkes, Hon. Edgar Hlmmons, Solicitor-Genera! Hudson, and others of the Amerlens bsr. That "Tired Feeline." The newspapers are having a good deal of fun nowadays over that "tired feeling,” so mneb spoken of In medical advertisements, in con nection with the 111-health of fe males. It may be a source of hil arity to witty paragraphers, but not so to suffering women, who, by overwork, aud a disregard of tbe laws of health, have lapsed into a condition bordering on Invalidism. Wbat most women need Is to be re lieved of some of the slavish work that Is piled on tbem, and a free, but judiolus use of strengthening snoh as P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium), tbe greatest blood purifier and inylgorator in use. Superb as a builder up of women, bringing baek lost energy to tbe body, and color to faded cheeks, restoring the appetite, and thus renewing In ber that healthy vitality long lost. P. P. P. enres all blood diseases, snob as Rheuma tism, Syphilis, Gout, Scrofula, and all ulcerous affections, even van quishing that melancholy enemy of man, Dyspepsia. All druggists sell it.

A. M. depot about 10 o’clock were startled by hearing a shrill scream. Several pedes trians stopped and ran towards tbe plaoe from which the scream seemed to come. As they ran, a negro man rushed out and made away*at his best pace. On one side of the road they found a young negro woman crying aud trembling as if badly fright, ened. She was asked wbat was tbe matter, aud told her story as fol lows: , "I catuo la on the 8. A. M. road to-night, and after staying at tbe depot a while, started up town to find a boarding house, or some place whero I could stay. 1 don’t know anybody here and am going to leave in the morning. Just as I got here, I beard seme one walking behind me and turned to look back. As I did so, a big, black negro grabbed me and dragged me to ono side. I told him I would hollow, and be put bis band over my mouth and said he’d kill me If I did. I struggled aud strugg'ed till I got aloose and then sereamed. He just drew baek to bit me when I heard you all coming.” That’s tbe substance of tbe wo man’s story, the language changed of course. She seemed badly frightened, and if her story Is not true, was wrought up over some thing. Those who gathered around ner dispersed after awhile, and an old negro took the woman to his home.
