THE GEORGIA SNAKE LAR.

The snake liar is not Indigenous to

always reach him. He was a little
late in getting to Swork this summer,
but he is here, and is making up for
the delay. The snake editor of the

THE EDUCATED NEGRO.

Chancellor Boggs, of the State I'm"

fortY-elght negroes in Georgia taking
the regular collegiate course. There
are four hundred and fly eight whites.
Yet there are more colleges in Geors
gia for the negroes than there are tor
the whites. DIR Boggs says there is
no opening in this country for the ed,
ucated negro, except to preach and to
teach. 1.-THE negro becomes laws
yer or doctor his own race will not
pay him,and the whites will not have
him. He gives as an instance a me-
gro in Augusta, who is seeking with
out probability of success a professor"

Greek scholarship from tho Brown

which he took a years course at

A PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE.

The Calhoun County Courier is

following extract from an article in
the last issue of the Courier:
"TO those who have not known the
Doctors politics intimately for sever
al years, this will sound like a new
departure, but it has been known to
many good citizens of Baker tor
several years that the Doctor has been
a Democrat only when it suited his
individual purposes. He has more
than once refused to support the Dem
ocratic nominee when it looked as if
he would be defeated by the Repub,
lican nominee--a negro. When inns
portuned by Democrats to 60 into
the field and work or 60 to the polls
and, vote for the Democratic nominee.
he persistently refused and expressed
no sympathy for the Democratic
cause. The Doctor is for |. II. Hand
first, lastand all the time. The Doc
tor thinks he sees a prospective cam
didacy for himself at the instance of
the third party for Congressman
from the 2nd district. He guesses
possibly that the Democrats of the
district will be more choice. Such
men are menance to our politics

THE Pay Train"

A-AS = ~ AA0AAs
On Wednesday, December 23d,
at the opera house Miss Bindley will
present her beautiful play "The
Pay Train" The story is one of
intense interest and so constructed
as to please the masses. Pathos
and comedy is equally divided and
tears and laughter alternate; the
scenic effects are the most realistic
ever produced on any stage, more
especially the great railroad scene
in which complete train crosses
the stage and is uncoupled in full
view of the audience. This COM
plete piece Of stage mechanism has
never been accomplished by any
other company. This scene differs
from the railroad effects introduced
by other companies in this manner,
all other companies has their train
profile and dare not uncouple them,
while "The Pay Train" effect is
boxed and action takes place in the
cars. The oldest railroad mechan-
les in the country have pronounced
this the acme Of realism. Seats on

Very Loud Indeed.

The "London Gaiety Girls" are
billed to be here at the theatre this
evening. As the Raleigh people
walk on the streets they see some of
the loudest bills ever put up in this
town. The owners Of the opera
house at Asheville declined to allow
this company to occupy it, and it
was thought the same course would
have been pursued here. There is
no reason why such bills should be
allowed to be put up. Cover them
up; they need clothing this cold
weather.
The AsheriUe Citizen editorially
says: "Managers Reynolds & Spears
never did anything more deserving
OF praise than when they refused to
give the London Gaiety Girls a
date. Now; if they will do the
same thing for that crowd of females
travelling under the name of Dun
can Clark's Female Minstrels, thea
tre goers will be under still greater
obligations to them. Asheville gets
enough chaff as it is, and doesn't
at all need such combinations as
those mentioned above. Reynolds
& Spears have shown disposition
to tote fair with Asheville in cases
of this kind. and We will hope that
Duncan Clark will be allowed to
pass by on the other side and not
STOP"
