BEFORE a PACKED HOUSE.
Wilson'S Minstrels Catch the Crowd
and Make Everybody Laugh.

Wilson's Minstrels Catch the Crowd
and Make Everybody Laugh.
George Wilson's MINISTRIES played to
packed house last night. Every seat in the
theater was filed, and before the curtain
was rung up standing room only was in de-
mand. Wilson has the reputation of being
the cleverest comedian on the stage, and his
show is certainly one Of the best. Every
thing on the programme was well
rather startling mixture of black and white
faced singers clad in variety of costumes.
The whites were white all over, even to
their wigs, and the colored we're cores
pondingly black. The effect was novel.
The innovation is hardly in the line of min
strelsy, but it takes. The olio was first
class. The music was excellent. Viii
sons "WsDhng the floor with the
Baby" brought down the house
as. Wilson always does. open the lattice"
composed by j. j. Nolan, the tenor of the
company, Yves sung 10y George Gale and was
one of the best selections on the programme
The olio began with the boy contortionist
Duval. He is as supple as snake The
clog dancing was excellent and Billy Carter
and his banjo came in for their
share of applause. 1t is a
difficult matter to say any,
thing new about a minstrel show, but
Wilson's is first-class and presents novelties
that are not seen in every show. Instead
of the performance closing with farce, it
wound up with remarkably clever per-
Torrance by Necromancer Powell. The
troupe viii appear again tonight.

FROM MACON TO PALATKA.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
Railroad Building Rapidly.

Traffic Manager A. G. Knapp, Of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, was
in the city yesterday. Mr.. Knapp is q
thorough railroad man, and was for a num-
Der of years agent of the Central railroad
at Macon. He resigned Aug. l to become
the traffic manager of the Georgia Southern
and Florida, a line which will run direct
from Macon to Palatka, distance of about
285 miles.
The line is already completed
sixty-five miles from Macon to Cordele, on
the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin rail
road. Cordele is a short distance from
Americas and the Georgia Southern and
Florida uses the Americas, Preston and
Lumpkin's track to that point, thus giving
it an outlet. Since the completion of the
road to Cordele and obtaining an outlet by
way of Americas, the increase in freight
and travel has warranted the putting on Of
regular freight and passenger train.
Mr.. Knapp said that he has been in
formed that his line has brought to Macon
for the past few weeks more cotton than all
the other lines. OF course, this was due, in
a measure, to the recent floods, which
blocked some of the other roads. Track
laying is being vigorously pushed. and the
road will be completed to Triton, a point
on the Brunswick and Western railroad,
~
weeks. This will give the Georgia South
ern and Florida an outlet to Jacksonville
over the Brunswick and Western railroad
and the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway, by tv elve miles the shortest line
from Macon to Jacksonville. The East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
has heretofore been the shortest line.
The Georgia Southern and Florida rail
road will be completed to Valdosta in No
vember, and will be seventy miles shorter
than by the Central railroad, and eighty
miles shorter than by the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia road.
Mr.. Knapp said that already a number Of
millmen are establishing mills along the
route Telegraph wires are going up as
the road progresses, and Mr.. Knapp said
that it is his purpose TO have the telegraph
line completed by the time that the road is
finished. There will be telegraph stations
on an average of every ten miles. The
floods, rarely if ever, reach that portion of
Georgia, and the road will enjoy immunity,
so to speak, from freshets.

The Best Time to Buy Valuables,

This is the dull season OF the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, SIMPLY because there are more dollars
than trade. In a word, we are now inclined
to give very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock III various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we a0tH sell verv
close to move some of it. This is e good
time 20 renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence Ct
Ladies' fne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jeweiry, etc.
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker Some

presents you intend to give now. They
will keep, and you will save money.

CARE OF BURIAL LOTS.
The Evergreen Cemetery Company
Sues q Lot Owner.

Sues q Lot Owner.
An interesting trial occupied the entire
day yesterday in Justice Molina's office.
The suit was prosecuted by the Evergreen
Cemetery Company against Herman Ran
kins, a lotholder, for the recovery of $40
for the annual care of lot owned by him.
The trial was before Justice Patterson and
aJury, 5. l.. Lazaron, Esq, appearing for the
plaintiff, and r. r. Richards, Esq, for the
defendant. The jury found for the defend
ant without being out ten minutes.
Another suit of the same character, but
with different defendant. will come off in
Justice Sheftalps court to-day.
The defendants claim that the cemetery
company has not the right to assess an
annual fee for the care of lots, for the pur-
pose of revenue and to accumulate divi-
dends. In the Rankin case il was held by
the defendant that he had himself kept the
lot in Order and therefore, he was not re-
quired to pay the cemetery company, at
the same time DENYING its right to fix an
arbitrary price, or any other sum to swell
the revenues of the company
The plaintiffs held that if their right were
denied the very foundation and structure
for the proper care of the lots would be
swept away, and if such system should
obtain the cemetery would fall INTO a
neglect repugnant to public sentiment, and
an unsanitary condition of affairs would
follow.
Mr.. Richards, for the defense, spoke for
fully three hours, and cited an array of
authorities to sustain his position that the
charter did not confer the right upon the
company to assess such charges against the
lot owners for the care and attention be-
slowed upon the lots. Quite a number of
the lot owners are resisting the payment Of
the charges, which are IS for small lots and
$40 for larger ones.

Extending the Influence of the Catholi
Total Abstinence Cause.

Extending the Influence of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Cause.
A meeting of the Catholic Total Abs til
hence Diocesan Union of Savannah was
held day or two ago. It's object was
principally to extend the influence of the
total abstinence movement among the
Catholics in Georgia, and secondly, to hear
a report that would be submitted by a
delegate to the general convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America, held in Boston, Mass, last month
One of the clauses, and the most important
one in the constitution governing the union,
is that societies should be organized
wherever they do not now exist in the state,
and for that purpose committee, consisting
of Messrs A. N. O'Keeffe, W. L. Farrell
and w. F. Curry, was appointed to visit
Augusta and organize a society in that
city. Preliminary arrangements have al
ready been made, and the delegates will
soon visit Augusta.
NJ. A. O'Brien, principal of st. Pat
rick's school, who was a delegate to the
convention in Boston, submitted report in
which it was stated among other matters
that the membership Of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union in the United States
amounts to 53, 755, an increase in a few
years of 1855. In that report was also
embodied resolution adopted at the con-
ventiop looking to the founding
or Father Mathews chair at the
Catholic university at Washington, d. c.
The endowment of this chair will cost
$4,000. Mr.. O'Brien was empowered by the
convention to collect funds for this purpose
and while no canvass or personal solicita-
tons will be made yet all contributions for
that object wf1i be cheerfully received.
The Catholic Total Abstinence Diocesan
Union has no political affiliations and takes
no part in any election. 1t is purely and
distinctively religious body having for its
only object the welfare of those who are
addicted to drink and whom the members
of the union are DESTROYS of saving from
drunkards' graves.
