Atlanta, Ca. Feb. 6.--"Billy" Kersh, the
messenger of the Georgia ELECTORAL col
lege, who carried the vote of the state to
Washington and delivered it to the Vice
President a couple of weeks ago, got

When MIR. Kersh departed for the ma

men on the travelling staff of the Morn
ing Constitution. Upon his return to-day
he found another man in his place.
Mr.. Kersh was a success as a messen-
ger. but it cost him rather dearly. While
the Georgian was sojourning at the cap
ital he stopped at the Arlington hotel, and
became quite intimate with Messenger
John Sanford of Alabama. 1t happened
that Just after drawing his mileage,

The presentation last evening was com

The company is we'll balanced and has two
or three superior actors. James Kennedy
possesses rare qualifications as comedian
and his singing and dancing was applauded
to the echo. Charles Z. Wunder also de-
serves favorable mention.
OF course Lillian Kennedy is the centre
OF interest and admiration. She has been
before the American public for several
years, and merit has won for her the repu.
tation of being one of the most charming
soubrettes on the stage. Her beauty and
graceful and winning ways delighted hel

The Electric Road.

What will be done next Tuesday when
the books are opened for subscription to
stock in the proposed electric road, is a
question in which the community is gener-
ally interested About all that can be said
is that time will tell.
One Of the Burlington gentlemen inter.
ested has written citizen here that unless
prevented by Injunction or other legal com
pGcations the road will certainly be bull
next summer and probably before the St
Johnsbury or Barre road is built.
The Burlington parties, we understand
have executed a $4,000 bond to have the
Barre-Montpelier road completed at q
certain time, and there are several in thi:
vicinity who think similar bond, perhap:
of less amount, should be required here
What people want is substantial assur-
auce of good faith provided the Burlington
parties or any other parties are given per
mission to enter upon the construction o.
this road.
