Bob Taylor's Twin Star.

Mr. belong Rice, Gov. Taylor's
manager has just closed contract
which enables him to place upon
the lecture Platform, for the season
of lS94-5, Col. Columbus March
banks, of Chattanooga, one of the
South's most distinguished sons
and brilliant orators. In the APP
pearancc of Col Marchbanks the
public will gain a treasure of deep
thought and sparkling humor
which it would be loath to lay
down, even for the universally Ne
loved Taylor himself Col. March
banks, as a lawyer, hardly has an
equal in the State. He is peerless
before a jury, and poss esses, to a
high degree, all those refined and
enrolling qualities of mind and
powers Of speech which thrill and
captivate his hearers. He is a warm,
feeling, sympathetic orator of great
personal magnetism and possesses
an inexhaustahle fund Of anecdote.
AS mimic he is the equal of any
man on tie American stage or
platform today, having an excellent
Irish, Dutch and negro brogue,
which, together with his great sense
of humor and fulne>s Of expression,
render him irresistible upon the
platform. His diction is pure, and
his rhetoric as pleasing as music.
Col. Marchbanks is a success, and
probably the only man in the State
who is worthy to be paced in the
glittering galaxy of Southern ora
tors as the "Twin Star" of dob"
Taylor, of whose magnitude | e is,
and to whose constellation he be-
longs.
We hope that the people of John
son City will have an opportunity
to hear the running mate of "Our
Boil" His subject is THE Harp
of a Thousand Strings" and there
will be no one in his audiences
whose peculiar chord of fan y will
not be touched by the endless Vi
bration Of these strings.
