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. There are seven Hebrew members 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 bers’ Journal. ‘ A OOSSIPV COLUMN ABOUT THINGS THAT MTRRBRT WOMEN. .-Is 1 ' Vatt Mar Via* Ilrrr a Chrl.loiaa Mag- gMtdaa—Chinn I. a Very Macb Dwlmi Article—Morn PII1.tr.

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 passed any singing that was done by tbe opera company which visited this city last week, , There Sre large quantities of ducks on the ponds to the South mid West of the city.

Taking It In Good/ Part. An absurd caricature of James Russell Lowell appeared in a Harvard paper soon after he had accepted his professorship.

' ( 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 stances become grotesque. But the adtirlrable'Bagdad squares, imported 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.
