GEORGIA MINISTRIES.

The appearance of minstrel organiza- tion is now so rare a theatrical event, that, by striking contrast with the past, it 'forcibly recalls to the minds of all old theatre-goers the time when similar troupes were counted by the tens where they now only figure in the units. The burnt cork artist is distinctly an Ameri- can product, and with more or less prominence he has been in evidence on the stage for over three-quarters of a century. As early as 1915 negro imper- sonations were given in connection with melodrama but it was not until 1S43 that special minstrel troupes were organized, the first consisting of the famous quartet, Dan Emmett Frank Brewer, Billy Whit lock and Dick Pelham, who gave their initial performance-th first of it's kind ever given anywhere-on the 17th of February, 1S43. Since this date the pass age of years has witnessed hundreds, if not thousands, of similar organizations, and this arm of the dramatic art has raised into national, and in some in stances, international renown, such fa- miliar names as Dan Emmett, Charley White George rChristy, Eph Horn, Nelse Seymour Billy Birch, Billy Backus, Ben Cotton, Bob Hart, Ben Gardner, Luke Schoolcraft Gus Howard, Billy Gray, Bob.

STORY OF "A DIVORCE CURE"

STORY OF "A DIVORCE CURE"
 The story of "A DIVORCE CURE" the scintillant new comedy in which dainty Emily Bancker and the great cast of comic players will be seen at the Grand Opera House, Friday and Satur- day, october and 3, is highly entertain ing throughout and continuously mirth- provoking. MT. Alexander Cissom, cos mopolite, six and forty, polished, of quiet tastes ,and pronounced literary predilic- tion. and more passionately fond of his pretty young bride than even he him. self believes, having settled down to the humdrum of married life, has permitted himself to become engrossed in the prosy occupation of writing novel. While thus absorbed he unconsciously becomes indifferent and neglectful towards his youthful wife.
 Mrs. Alexander Cissom, spirited young woman of 20, sensitive and gay In temperament, and in love with her handsome husband, resents his mat tention. Seeking solace for her wounded pride, she allows the vlcompte de Mille- morts-fedgeling impulsive and inn pressionable-an intimate friend of the couple, to fall in love with her up to his ears Theirs is chaste union of souls, so they convince themselves. Honor, superinduced by conscience, prompts the Vicompte finally to declare his intention of avoWing his affection for Mrs. Cis- som openly to her husband and demand ing a divorce in order that they may wed. MT. Cissom, having awakened to the situation, anticipates the Vicompte's call by walking in upon the scene as the young wife is giving her adorer a first kiss. A man of infinite tact, the hus- band treats the incident lightly and with apparent, indifference. He cooly proposes to fall in with their plan as to the divorce, provided that he shall be convinced that his wife no longer cares for him. The proposition that he sub- mits is that the young couple shJA en- joy each others company with the, full est freedom for the period of six months, at the expiration of which, in the event that their affection for each other has not dissipated, d separation by divobce law is to be arranged. This being agreed upon, MT. Cissom starts in to re- trieve the place in his wifes heart which the Vicompte has usurped Through plot and counterplot the willy veteran finds his way back to his pretty brides heart, the b1ase young gallant proving no match for him in the game in which a woman's love is the stake. It is merry contest and numerous funny characters figure in it.-Ex.

The pony and dog show closed last night at OBrien's, having given three fine performances. At matinee yester- day the parquet and dress circle were well filled and many occupied seats in the gallery to witness the novel perform ance.
 To sit and watch the wonderful acts of the dimirutive ponies and large and small dogs was a treat. How these dumb brutes could be made to do what they did caused many to ponder They under stood their cues as well as if they were humans The grown people were as we'll entertained as the small folks.

In view of the splendid impression made at his last appearance in this city and the great number of tickets already sold, large audience is assured.
