Two More Lines terminating at ChAtta
nOOEa.

nOOSs.
One of these is the Gainesville Short Line,
says the Chattanooga Times, OF Wednesday.
This ia a projected linefrJm Gainesville to
Dalton, and thence 10 Chattanooga. The
company consists of a syndicate OF New
York and Ohio capt. alists. The surveys
from Dalton TO Gainesville have been made
and the right OF way secured. The company
will run parallel with the Western and At
ISutic railroad from Dalton to Buzzafd's
Roost, distance OF miles, and then branch
on TO the east and enter the city through
Netherlands Gap. By this line the distance
from Dalton will be so miles, and the dis
lance to Gainesville 1l3 mles. By the West-
ern and Atlantic railroad the distance to
Dalton is 50 miles and 20 Gainesville 18S
miles. The road will pass through the
most fertile regions of North Georgia,
and through the richest mineral regions
IN the Stale, country Astounding in
ores, marble, sospstone, asbestos and
many other valuable minerals. The
company will begin work early in March.
All they will ask of the people of Chatta-
nooga will be assistance in procuring depot
grounds, yards, etc. All the stock necessary
to carry out the enterprise is at hand and
the money will be ready nu demand. When
the Richmond and Danville Syndicate Sc
cured the Western North Carolina branch
they contracted to huild an extension TO
Ducktowp, and have 500 men now at work
and nearly so miles graded. 1t is the inten-
tion OF the syndicate to extend the branch
from Ducktown to Chattanooga, and they
announce that fact in posters and circulars
1t was the original intention 10 extend tC
Cleveland, but the plans have been altered
and will mos Certainly be executed.

The Chimes OF Normandy by the G. g
O., Opera Company.

The Chimes OF Normandy by the C. G.
@, Opera Company.
A much larger audience assembled
last night than the evening before at
the opera house to hear the Chicago
Church Choir Company in the
"Chimes," which goes to prove that
our citizens can appreciate a thoroughly
good attraction, and patronize it &C
cordingly. Planquette's beautiful mus.
ic gives the company better opportuni-
ties to display their vocal abilities than
did the opera Of ''Iolanthe."
First on the list comes Mr.. Webster
Norcross, as Gaspard. His rendition
Of the part shows careful study of the
irascible old miser's character, and his
splendid bass voice is we'll adapted to
the music Of the trying role. His per-
sonstion, while not as horribly realistic
as his predecessors have made it, still
was a very artistic performance, and
won him a deserved call before the cur
tain.
Miss Mary Beebe sang the role of
~Serpolette for the first time, and tried
to make up for a lack of knowledge Of
her part by vivacious and o~verstrained
action. Miss Beebe is certainly a very
clever actress, possessed OF a beautiful
voice, which she we'll knows how to
use, but whether she knew her lines or
not. she seemed to please the audience,
as was shown by the double encore
which she received for one of her vocal
numbers. We would be pleased to
hear her In the part at some future time,
well knowing that she has the ''chic''
as well as voice to make q capital
Serpolette.
Miss Nellie L. Bowers made a very
acceptable Geomainie and won an en-
core on her song, When I'm BY Your
Side.n
Mr.. J. w. Herbert as the Bailli, was
very funny, but inclined a little to bur.
lesque his part.
Mr.. Henry 7. Hart as the MARQUIS
labored under considerable disadvant-
