apparent. Some of them advocate
the claims of Prince Victor, son oil

ELDERS OPERA HOUSE.
The Huntley-Kennedy Dramatic
COMPANY.

The HuntIey-keHnedY Dramatic
Company.
This combination played here on
the three first days of the week and
gave much satisfaction to- our pe0-
pie. The audience was thin the
first night, but those who attended
gave so good an account of that
performance as to bring a much
better house on the second night,
which was increased to perfect
jam ON Wednesday.
The leading persOnages. of the
troop are Mr.. Huntley and Miss
Kennedy. Mr.. III. is an actor of
great versatility, being equally at
home in the serious and comic
characters; much the most popular
of his representations being Mark
Twain's inimitable Mulberry Sell
lers, in which part he brought out
with admirable effect the humors of
the jovial speculator.
Miss Florence Kennedy has all
the accomplishments which qualify
an actress for the herOines of the
modern society drama, and ingra-
tiated herself with the people as a
favorite from the first. We must,
however, regret that the characters
assigned to her were not favorable
to the display of first-class acting.
We must here protest as a public
duty against the moral tendency of
the modern society drama as eXem-
plified in the pieces produced. In
the first, "Peril," newly married
husband INDUCES in some outside
Irritation, and his wife is advised as
a remedy to do little Irritation on
her own account. We need not fol-
low out the dangerous experiment,
but it very nearly terminates in con-
jugal intidelity, which is prevented,
not by any moral seruples on the
part of the lady, but by the acct
dental presence Of another gentle
man. Again, in the last piece pre-
sented, the pleasant humors of the
immortal Sellers are projected on a
sensational background made up
of seduction, bigamy, murder and
the trial OF the heroine for killing
her seducer, who is acquitted on the
ground of insanity, which we must
say is not sustained by evidence, so
far as we could see.
Trash of this sort is not healthy
means OF recreation to our young
men and maidens, and while we
gladly recognize the merits of the
actors, we must close by wishing
them q healthier repertory of
dramas for the exercise of their tai
ents~

Deatn. of Baker I'D. johnson.


/ This promising young lawyer
died of pneumonia at a little after
o'clock on Sunday morning last.
Mr.. Baker Dortch johnson was
descended on his mothers side from
the elder Governor Dortch, who
was the first Governor of Tennessee,
appointed by Gen. Washington /;
his father, Wylie johnson, Esqr.,
was brother to the eminent states
man and lawyer known as the Hon.
Cave johnson, Postmaster General
in the cabinet of Pres't Polk.
He was born in 1885 and educated
mainly in Stewart College. In the
spring of 1862 he entered the Con-
federate service in Woodward's cav
airy regiment, and i'm that COM
Eland was known as fearless and
spirited soldier to the end of the
war. He commenced the practice
of the law in 1868, ard was elected
attorney general of the county court
in 1872; this Office he held till the
beginningof 1878, when, his term
Of Office having expired, he became
a candidate for that of county judge,
but for which he was defeated by
Judge C. w. Tyler. Since that time
Mr.. Johnson has been engaged in
the private practice of the law.
Baker johnson was of a temporal
ment at once generous and proud
true Southern man, such as our in
situations and social habits have al
ways tended to produce. He would
have gloried in the epitaph which
Themistocles desired to be inscribed
upon his tomb-"No man of his
time had done so much good to his
friends or evil to his enemies" for
he was warm friend and good |
hater, the natural impetuosity of
his temper entering into both his
likings and his loathings. His
friends will remember the gentler
traits of his character with sorrow;
others will forgive his enmity now
that it is buried with him in the
grave

We copy the following from the
last issue of the Pulaski Citizen:
CEDAR HILL, Tenn, Sept. p, '79.
Editor Pulaski Citizen.
Knowing that Brother A. g. Din
widdie has a large number of per-
sOnal friends and admirers in and
around Pulaski, and believing that
they would be glad to hear of his
success in his new field of labor,
send you the following preamble
and resolutions offered by DIR. r.
M. COrleW and j. w. Gooch, and
unanimously and enthusiastically
adopted by an unusually large body
of official members of our Fourth
Quarterly Conference held at Cedar
Hill, Sept. 20, 1879:
Whereas, We feel that in the life and labors
of our present pastor, the Cedar Hill Circuit
has been highly favored of God and the
church therefore,
Resolved, That we are llevoutly grateful
to the great Head of the Church for the gifts,
grace and usefulness eff the aQ0a man who
has this Yeaf served rs with so much aooep-
liability and success.
Resolved, That in Rev. A. G. Dinwiddie
we recognize man of industry and energy,
a polite and pleasant gentleman, a jealous,
constant Christian, pastor tender, true
and faithful, and an able minister of the
New Testament. whose ministry in our
midst God has honored in building up the
church and saving souls.
Resolved, That 1nasmuch as he REV. A.
g. Dinwiddie) has at all times and under all
circumstances, witt out a single exception,
conducted himself in manner highly char
acteristic of a genuine minister of the gospel
and Christian gentleman, we deeply regret
fle possibility. of hts removal by the poWers
OF on apbtpaching ANIMAL G6nfefence.
From the foregoing you can form
a correct idea of the estimate placed
upon Bro. ID. by this entire charge.
His people love him and his entire
family, and win be deep grieved if
separated from them by the Con-
ference.
God bless Brother Dinwiddie and
his loved ones forever.

Honor to the Chicks,

On Tuesday evening a message
received from Capt. Carnes, at St.
Louis, to Capt. Howard, at Clarks-
vile. announcing that the Chicka-
saw Guards had obtained the first
prize at the competitive drill in the
Fair Grounds at St. Louis. Now
the Chicks are at home in Clarks-
vile, and their triumph is looked
upon as comforting as much honor
on us as it would have done had
our own soldiers won it. All our
town was in a ferment; the Frank
Hotel was Illuminated, and the
GAINESVILLE City Guards paraded the
city, closing their exercises with a
salute fired in honor of their COM
rades in arms.
