“There’s Life in the Old Land Yet.”
In response to a call published a
few days since a large number of citi
zens met at tlie Court House on Mon
day evening.
Mr. Adolph Joseph was called to the
chair and Mr. 13. T. Bethune request
ed to act as secretary.
Mr. W. W. Lumpkin being called on
to state the object of the meeting
with characteristic grace, and border
ing almost upon diffidence said frank
ly that he did not know. That he
had asked the some question but no
one had told him; and lie presumed
the purpose was to confer together to
see how tile advantages of Milledge-
ville and surroundings could bo best
used for the advancement of our pro
perty.
He urged the necessity of doing
witli our might what our hands found
to do. Mentioned several important
enterprises, and cited many cases
where towns with fewer advantages
had done wonders. Notably, Athens,
as a cotton market, increasing her re
ceipts of cotton by the erection of a
compress, and showed that Milledge-
ville was in a better natural position to
do the same tiling.
Advocating spending money in ad
vertising our advantages and speak
ing of the importance of unity of senti
ment and action, in his happy whole-
soul and enthusiastic style, he touch
ed a sympathetic, chord of devotion
in the heart of Mr. 8. Barrett, who
as soon as the applause sufficiently
subsided, said that he felt his inability
as a speaker, but whenever the good
of his town was to be discussed he
would not allow the opportunity to
pass unimproved. He said we had
the money, men and brains to make
Milledgevilie boom, and if we could
catch the spirit of the people of Birm
ingham, Ala., we would soon out
strip that magic city. He advocated
home investment, we were not poor
If we would use the means at our com
mand.
Captain C. W. Ennis in response to
repeated calls said he was in corres
poudence already in the matter of a
cotton compress. And if the propectB
warranted the investment, the thing
would take shape at an early day.
Mr. J. W. McMillan in bis own in
imitable serlo comic, jolly good style,
made a telling speech, getting in some
good hits on the sturdy nature of his
oyn occupation, said that a man who
was called to grapple daily with
the toughest, weightiest and solidest
of the three great elements could not
be expected to paint oratorical pictur
es in rosiate hues, that true to the
sternness of the habit of his life, he
could only afford to deal in facts.
And thus forgetting his promise not
to be eloquent graphically enumerat
ed the young enterprises which had al
ready taken their places amongst us as
established facts. Warming with his
theme he gracefully lifted his arm and
pointing aloft he said: All that is
necessary now to assure our triumphal
march up the hill of prosperity is uni-
| ted action. Let the strong men all
f iut, their shoulders to the wheel arid
et the weaker ones scotch for them
This brought down the house, and
amidst deafening applause he took his
seat.
Then the meeting got down to solid
business, and after an interesting dis-
oussion of several important topics
the following committees were ap
pointed:
Committee of Five to receive funds
and use the same in advertising our
advantages.—W. W. Lumpkin, B. T.
Bethune, G. D. Case, J. N. Moore and

The Theatre—“Othello.
On Thursday evening last, the com
pany of James Owen O’Conor, per
formed Shakespeare’s tragedy of “O-
tliello.” The play had been properly
advertised by the proprietors of the
Opera House and a pretty good au
dience was present, the galleries es
pecially having a large number of our
colored people. In that connection,
we were lead to think that they had
been informed of the fact that the
hero of the play, Othello, was not a
white man, anil they must have con
cluded that he was of their own race.
Few of them, probably, knew of the
difference between a Moor and a ne-
<ro, and that circumstance may have
ead to their liberal patronage of the
theatre on that occasion.
It is a disagreeable task to criticise
adversely the efforts of those who, in
the exercise of a lawful avocation,
are honestly striving for success, es
pecially when their personal main
tenance and prosperity are dependent
upon their making a favorable im
pression upon the public and achiev
ing distinction iu their profession.
But it is just and right that the press
of the country should keep their read
ers advised of the merits or demerits
of those who take upon themselves
to amuse the public and who are by
no means modest in sounding their
own praises beforehand in order to
induce the people to invest their
money in tickets of admission to their
entertainments. It is with regret we
have to say that the opinions of those
who were present so far as we could
learn was quite unfavorable to the
performance of Othello as a whole.
The applause was comparatively faint
and rare during the rendition of that
magnificent play, which if tolerably
rendered, would itself arouse enthu
siasm in an average audience. Mr
O’Conor himself, had several tricks
of action and of voice and manner,
that he doubtless conceived would be
the natural expression of the terrible
emotion of the rpugh but proud and
passionate Moor, but which were not
appreciated by the people. The un
natural gutterul noise in the throat
as he inhaled his breath, the frequent
and almost continuous outstretching
of his arms and other frequent move
ineuts of limbs and body at times
when there was nothing in the action
of the pluy to call for any unusual
display of the kind, was at times ludi
crous and finally became monotonous
as well as offensive to- good taste. It
must be said in his favor, however,
that he exhibited that trait of a good
actor which is so desirable—he seem
ed thoroughly identified with the
character he represented.
The support of the principal actor
was in general, we may say, poor,
though there were some of the other
characters well sustained. R. Basil
Be grave in the character of Iago,
was repeatedly at a loss and ofien
had to be prompted. We learned
that he had, at short notice, to take
the role which had previously been
performed by another actor who had
just severed his connection with the
company and Thursday night was
his first appearance in that character.
His rendition of it under the circum
stances was remarkably good. Miss
Fannie McCullough as Desdemorm
and Miss Stella Graham as Emilia,
both did well and tho other charac
ters were not of sufficient importance
to cause their rendition, though in
some instances not up to the mark,
to effect tiie fortunes of the plays to
any great extent.
A11 accident on the Central Railroad
near Griswoldville delayed the train
and left them but little time after
their arrival here to prepare for the
performance, besides making them
late in beginning it.
The Anniversary
Of the Woman’s Foreign Missiona
ry Society was held at the Methodist
church last Sunday night. After
singing, and prayer by Rev. J. R.
King, Mrs. John B. Fair read the fol
lowing report:
