NEGROES IN A PASSION PLAY.
The Representatives of Christ and the
Devil Fight

The Representatives of Christ and the
Devil Fight.
ATHENS, GA, Jan. GA few nights ago
a colored theatre troupe in this city pre-
scented the Passion Play to large audience
of negroes. The costumes were very ludi-
crous, though the play was greatly enjoyed
by the negroes The negro who represented
the Saviour was of the ace of spades persua-
sion and clad in pure white. His Satanic
majesty was decked out in black, with COW
horn ornaments. During the closing act
the negroes representing Christ and the
devil got into fight, the latter overcoming
the former, when he appeared before the
footlights and demanded his audience that
Trey should from henceforth and forever
follow "him." If the reports in circulation
are correct the scene was a most disgrace
full one, and the leading characters should
be given the extent of the law.

favorable TO this country and it is also
stated that the German government APP
proves the placing Of German capital
here, where Germans have built up large

nomical management. They have
driven English houses, with only two or
three exceptions, out Of business. Failures
are very rare. although large amounts are
constantly due them. The French have
monopolzed the dry goods trade in the
larger cities Both German and French
houses in their operations here have their
