Shaw, Commander-in-Chief of tho Le gitimate Business of Southwestern Ga., 106 FORSYTH ST., AiEIICUS.CA. P. S.—This may not be modesty but it is Basinesa all the same. J.R.S. Scott Thornton bat been with us, aud a fair sized crowd greeted him at the opera house last night It was after 8 o’clock before a single seat was occupied, but by 8:45 a crowd of about sixty men and boy* bad gath- «wd- '3 i j x -Everyone was in a good humor except the treasurer at the door, wbo seemed a little alarmed at the unusual good na- •fTflteeftbnbrowd. ' j ^ Chief Lingo bad a detail of policemen Mattered about tM house, and tbe(r ln. tfruction* were to search for eggs. Tho janitor collected as many of the iogoing vegetables at the door as he could, but some of tho eggs prepared for the eastcr season of 1800 were slipped by him safely. At tlie opening of tho first act the jan. ltor's collection consisted of cabbage, turnips, lettuce, sausage, pretzels and weiner wurst. What was done with these trophies could not be ascertained, but it is supposed they were added to the already large collection garnered in the other cities of the circuit. The curtain rose on the first act amid deep silence, the orchestra having failed to show up at all, Tho entire first act was witnessed In silence by the audience,except that when the guard ap peared armed' with a double-barreled breech-loading shotgun somebody whistled “Johnny get your gun,” and another wanted to know “wbat bad be come of the thousand cigars that went with It” , . r( . When deMauprat desired to surrender his sword, a voice in the crowd advised him to stlok It fir', Scotty aqd see if he was Alive, hut the ad vice was unheeded. At length, however, someone pulled the string and the sticks all' got off the stage, leaving Soytt alone U. file glory. . .Scotty than got down to- work, and so did the wind.;,' The breezes played with his whiskers ao brlskly that the star was obliged to hold on to them all the time. None of these things, however, worried the “successor of Barrett." About one word la tea could he' dis* tinguished by 'the audience, but , the ranting did not ceaso on tbla account. Some one advised Scott to buy some mucilage aud stick his a whiskers on bet ter, but still he was the great unembar rassed actor-of the age. Tho curtain finally fell and the audi ence gave vent to an encore to which Scott responded. . The manipulator of t to curtain came near causing a serious accident right here. Scott was bowing hit acknowl edgements to the crowd whon the cur tain began falling rapidly, mlBsIng him about an Inch in its decent. The audience then demanded muslo and a prominent young man volunteered to furnish It free gntis,acd opening the piano rendered “Johnny got your gun” In a most pathetlo manner. The curtain rose on the second act, and the dummies In the support hopped around as well as their marvelous tights with loose fitting trunk attachments would allow. The second act passed with an oc casional bit of advice from the orowd to do aomethlng or other that wasn't in the play, but Scott stuck to bis own idoas. At the close of this act the audienoe was regaled with “ohop sticks” on the piano, tho performer being a well-known young dry goods man. The third and last act opened up In a pretty lively manner, the oat calls and groans of a miniature “dumb bull” ad ding to tho turmult. About tho time Scott didn’t find the word “fall” In his vocabulary, an ancient specimen of hen fruit landed on his left shoulder and bespangled the spotles* whiteness of his sailor collar with streaks of yellow. Scott stood It like a veteran, but when the eggs and other household supplies got too numerous he quickly retired be hind the scenes and failed to reappear. It was a noticeable fact that not one of the trained actore on the stage ever for moment turned his back to the audience. A* this junctuie a head was poked out from behind the curtain to announce that Mr. Thornton would not re-appear, but the missiles filled tho air and the announcement was never made. The audience didn’t demand this formality however, for they had enough aud had already begun to leave the bouse.

The Columbus correspondent of the Americus Times Recorder says that “Miss Maggie Drone who hat been very sick with typhoid fever contracted at Buena Vista is improving steadily and is now believed to be entirely out of danger,” The correspondent seems to want to mislead the people and to do an injustice to Buena Vista.

At a meeting of tho board of pnblio education, yesterday, afternoon In the private office of President Speer, mneh business of Interest to the people of Awerioui was transacted. the report of Superintendent Blzlen called attention to the necessity of fur nishing three more rooms In the white school and two more rooms in the eoloriid school. When this lmproMiflent' U effected, Jackson street school will be able to accommodate from 150' to 180 more pupils, pod the additional two rooms to bo annexed to McKay hill achool house will givo school facilities at least to 120 wore colored children The demand for more school room Is Imperious. Three more teacher* in the white school and two more in the colored school* will have to be elected at the next monthly meeting of the board. To supply new positions in the school rooms en examination of candidates for teachers' places In the white schools will be held on tho first Saturday In June next, and on the following Saturday colored applicants will also be exam ined. The requisites for securing posi tions in the schools of Americus are snocestful examinations on - studies taught In the schools sod teachers' li censes from the board ofteducailon.

Instead of beginning at 730 the schools will hereafter begin their daily sessions at 8^’elocki,-,TbU ob»uge was made because of a groat many children living at great distance from the schools could not reach the school fn time, and were fated to be marked tardy day after day. The last move on the school board was to resolve to pay the teachers in due time, and to direot the secretary of the board to draw checks on the city treas ury for that purpose. The city of Americus Is ever prompt In attending to the needs of her teaoh- ers.
