One of the largest audiences ever
. -assembled In Albany for the purpose
of witnessing an.amateur perform
ance, was gathered at Willingham’s
Hall last evening to witness the en
tertainment given for the benefit of
the Presbyterian churoh.
*The entertainment wns, throughout,
very novel, and the features all new.
and unusual. The first scene was a
grand wedding ceremony, conducted
with all the eclat Imaginable. The
groom was Master Guy Ullsinan; the
bride one of the sweetest and prettiest
that ever blushed before the altar,
Miss Susie Brown.
To the music of the wedding march,
the attendants came mnrchlng on the
stage, forming around the altar. Then
came the groom with Ills best man,
joining the briije before the altar,
where they were united in the bonds
of wedlock by the minister, Bev.
Strother Fleming.
The whole ceremony was so solemn
and beautiful, that the audieiioe was
charmed and delighted, and when the
curtain fell, the storms of applause
were so long and loud that the curtain
had to be raised a second time to let
the audience catch another glimpse of
the beautiful scene.
Following was a baby song, by five
sweet little misses, then a novelty In
the shape of a qharacter song, that
wag thoroughly enjoyed. Nest was a
one act play, by six little boys and
misses, taken from fairy land’s fables.
The entertainment closed with the
parody, “Grass-hopper on the sweet
potato vine.” Twelve large sunflower
blooms, growing on two stalks, had
for their centers the faces of, ladles
and gentlemen, all possessed of splen
did voices, that were made to unite in
making Borne of the best music that
has been heard in Albany for a long
time. The chorus was far superior to
any that has been heard with a travel
ing company, in Albnny tbis season.
About $00 was netted from the pro
ceeds, and Mrs. A. C. VonGundel, who
has had the sole management of the
entertainment in hand, Is to bo con
gratulated on its suocess.
ON THE BUMOOL QUESTION.
“One Taxpayer" H-nate to Mee the Bill
Which Will pe Introduced.
, Albany, Ga., Nov. 22, 1892.
Editor Herald:
In your editorial, yesterday, refer-
ing to the visit of Senator Wooten, you
quote from him, with reference to a
bill which he intends to introduce for
the creation of a public school system
in Albany, thus: “As this is n subject
whloli involves the question of taxa
tion, 1 am really anxious to get the
views of the oitizens in regard to it,
and invite expressions from them,
either by mass meeting, petitions, or
personal letter.”
In answer to our Senator’s inter
view it is only neoessnry to say that
he might, at least, publish the bill he
proposes to introduce, and let the peo
ple know—the taxpayers, know—wliat
he proposes to do for them. To have
mass meetings, to get up petitions or
write him personal letters about some
thing known only to him and the or
iginators of tbe scheme, is a little
previous. Publish your proposed en
actment, Mr. Senator, and then the
taxpayers will talk to you. At least,
that is the view of
One Taxpayer.

in tbe British House of Commons.
Lkary, Ga., Nov. 21,1892.
Editor Herald:—My attention has
just been oalled . to an artlole which
appears in your paper of the 18th Inst.,
as a “special” from Leary, stating
reasons why Calhoun county gave
suoh a small majority for Ben E. Bus
sell, on the 8th.
The reasons given in that speolal
for the very close call we had were, In
the main, correct, but that portion of
the article whioli places the oredlt to
tbe account of Mr. J. E. Mercer for
hnvlng saved the oounty to Democ
racy, is badly out of joint, and does a
great injustice to many other loyal
Demoornts of our county, and tde good
Democrats tn and around Leary, who
really deserve the praise for the suc
cess of the Democratic party in Cal
houn county, feel somewhat indignant
over the attitude in which your cor
respondent places them.
As to Capt. Boyd, I have nothing to
say, for he aoted his part well, and de
serves all the praise bestowed upon
him in said article, but Mr. Mercer
was one hundred miles from Leary, on
the coaBts of Florida, on the dny of
election, and hnd been absent from the
oounty for more than a week previous
to, and did not return home until Sat
urday after, the election, and I can’t
quite understand how Demooratio suc
cess in our county can be attributed to
him. Your correspondent was very
poorly informed to say the least.
Now, I do not mean this correction
as a reflection upon the personal char
acter or Democracy of any one, but
simply want to place the Democrats
of Leafy and vioinlty in the proper
light before the people of the Second
Congressional Dfstriot, and state to
your correspondent that there are
other good Democrats in Leary who
did as much to carry Calhoun county
for Democracy as either of the gentle
men mentioned in said special.
Very truly,
James Keel.
The above letter explnins itself. It
is in answer to some Information fur
nished by our correspondent on the
authority of some of Calhoun county’s
best citizens. They know who they
are and they will -understand the
above letter.
Tootliptckn Caine from Italy.
Toothpicks are said to have been
invented in Italy, Certainly they
were in common use among the
Romans. In Martial’s “Epigrams”
there are frequent references to the
“dentistcalpium,” sometimes reviling
its abuse, sometimes praising its use.
Tiui particular form of toothpick
which Martial preferred was a point
ed strip of mastic wood: but in do
fault of that he recommends a quill.
Singularly enough, tho useful instru
ment was regarded us an innovation
in Queen Elizabeth's time. Tho Bus
tard.in “King John” sneers at
Your travoler-
He ami his toothpick at my worship’s mess.
Travelers in France and Italy, il
seems, brought toothpicks back and
used them ostentatiously, and all
those who affected foreign fashions
sedulously imitated them.—Cham

From Tuesday's Evening Herald.
To-day is tbe seventieth annlvevsary
of tbe birth of Mrs.Mariah Tift, widow
of the late; Col. Nelson Tift, of this
city.
This venerable lady, the mother of a
large family, has not lived in vain.
Her’s has been a life of usefulness, and
even now, in her old age, she takes an
active Interest in family affairs.
This evening she will be surrounded
by lier children and grandchildren
at the family home on Society street,
and the Herald congratulates them
upon the privilege of having this prec
ious life, spared to them past tbe
alloted three score years and ten, and
joins them in wishing for her and
themselves many happy returns,,
The chorus with which that grass
hopper and potato vine - medley was
concluded at tne entertainment at-
Willingham’s Hall last night sur

tbe opera company which visited this
city last week,

OFF FOB CHICAGO.
The rage for Dresden ohina seems to
be still upon the increase. All sorts
of objects are sbown in its familiar
ooiors and designs; but tbenewestand
tile latest are the cabinets to hang
upon tbe wall. They lire just two
shelves high and have their uprights
only of the favorite ohina. The
shelves are either of fine wood, or are
covered with handsome plush. The
conoeit is a curious one, and as it is
decidedly novel, will undoubtedly “go”
for a time, but as there is no good
thought but only bizarre effect em
bodied in their make up, they are
likely to enjoy temporary favor only.

Sofa pillows are more numerous
than ever before, and in many in

for their making, onnnot fnil to ftive
satisfaction wherever they may be
used. Like the stripes they are rich
in color as well ns durable in
material, and, once they become gen
erally known, are destined to certain
popularity. They are woven in just
the correot size for an ninple pillow
for the couch, and are finished on all
sides wftli a fringe.

Purses, seemingly too exquisite to
be put to their legitimate use, are
made of the finest gold netting. They
arc finished with a round clasp, not
more than three-quarters of an inch
in diameter, In the top of which is set
a tiny watch. The device is charming
as well as novel, and for use with a
perfeot calling costume the purse Is,as
dainty as anything tlmt can be Imag
ined, It is intended to be carried in
the band, and, besides holding suoli
change as may be desired, will warn
the visitor of the flight of time.
