THE "PEACHTREE" SISTERS,
THEY ARE AGAIN BEFORE THE
PUBLIC IN ATLANTA,
ms Time They Appear Before the
Grand Jury Against an Attorney.
Will Return to the Stage.

Minnie and Annie Mccormick. the
two young women from Dawson whose
appearance on the stage under the name
OF the Peachree sisters created a sensa.
ton in Atlanta some mouths ago, are
again before the public in that CITY.
After their visit to Atlanta and their
enthusiastic reception there the girls
found life too prosy and dull in Dawson
and for some time have been making
their home in the former city, where
they seem to be admired and appreciated
to an unusual degree.
In their last roll they appear as prose-
cutors of a well-known lawyer of At
laata, which is told of by the Journal as
follows:
"The Peachtree sisters, whose Winning
ways and ability not to sing so CREATE
pleased the patrons of the Imperial the
alter some months ago, are again in town,
"The real names of the sisters are the
Misses Mccormick. Their presence in
Atlanta at this juncture was caused bv
grave matter. They called at Solicitor
Charlie HilPs Office yesterday to have a
Well-knoWn attorney indicted for larceny
after trust. They charge that he COLI
lected their large salary at the Imperial
and has refused so turn it over to them.
"Ihe Misses Mccormick came to At.
lanta from Dawson. They were very
warmly received by the public, and their
appearance on the stage was considered
quite success. Just why they were
called the Peachtree sisters is somewhat
of a mystery, but it was evidently be-
cause Peachtree is a little more eupho>
NOUS than Mccormick.
1.-The young women declined to go into
the details of their charges for the bene-
fit of Journal reporter, They said
they had enjoyed enough publicity for
the present, and did not care for any
more until a little later in the year.
They expect to join another theatrical
company after while.
"a gentleman who was familiar with
some of the facts in the case said: THE
sisters sued the Imperial management
for $40 for their expenses from Dawson
and their salary while playing here.
The case was tried in justice court and
a verdict given them TOR $24. Their at
torney, am told, then settled with the
defendant for $40.
=" THE Peachtree sisters claim they
have never received any of the money
Zone of the sisters told their tale of
woe to the grand jury, and several law
yers were examined, but there was not
sufficient evidence to find true bill and
the grand jury took no action"

The Attraotlve Woman.

Some one says that clever wo-
man, provided she be not sarcastic
and too fully alive to sense of her
own Importance, is generally an at
tractive one. Men may be charm
ed for a time by pretty face, but
they soon tire of mere prettiness.
Nor does it follow that all women
of good sense and sharp intellect
are necessarily plain. Bright
thoughts enliven the most ordinary
face until the reflection of the
mind shining out IN all its radiance
makes one forget that the features
are not pure Grecian, and leads us
to believe that such a woman is in
reality great beauty The viva
cious creature of varying moods
and quaint fancies is the one charm.
A man forgets the type of beauty
sue may or she may not possess, SO
interested does he become in the
pleasing study of mind that rem
ders her face ever winning, irresis-
tible and pleasing, because, like the
surface of a lake, there comes a
change with every varying emotion.
The attractive woman should
cultivate the mind, FOR grace Of
soul and education of spirit count
far more than limpid eyes, rose
bud mouth and dimpled chin. She
should be ever teachable, for there
is not one iota of lovableuess in the
man or woman who thinks he or
she knows it alI.-Sunny South.

II is said that three men have
been killed in the l6 to saloon at
Texarkana. That l6 to saloon
should be aboiished.-Pine Bluff
Graphic.
That saloon is not responsible for
bad men not controlling their evil
passions, and our contemporary Is
unjust in the above. One thing it
should do in justice to itself-when
men get to quarreling therh, make
them go out into the street-this
would have a good effect in stop
ping difficulties.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1899-01-27

One of the things that cause men
to lose respect tor the courts of So
called Justice in this country, is
simply this: If a poor man is charged
with a crime he is almost invariably
convicted and speedily punished to
the full extent of the law. But ali!
what difference if the accused is
rich or has rich relatives or friends
who come to their aid In such Ca
ses convictions are very rare, and II
convicted, the judge, the attorneys
aud most Of the jury at once sign a
petition for pardon. Our laws
are all right, but they are not prop
erIy and honestly enforced. Equal
ity before the law Is lie at the
present time.

We congratulate our senators on
their good sense in defeating that
newspaper humbuggery bill 1t
would have been waste of about
81, 600 of the peoples money. Vel
done, Let the people who want the
news subscribe for a paper and pay
for it, -Lockesburg Democrat.
Don't be too fast-bill is not yet
dead. 1t was first defeated by one
vote in the senate, but was after
wards reconsidered and passed by
that body Next it came up in the
house and was defeated by small
majority-now it is to be reconsid'
cred there, and may pass, Let us
hope not, however. Bill gives each
member 20 daily papers, or equiva-
lent in weekies for term, and 25
cents postage daily-amounts toiu-
creasiug their salaries 25 cents a
day, besides fooing away the peo-
pies money for useless newspapers.
The idea of 'keeping constituents
posted on what they are Going is
prepoSterous and RIDICULOUS. We

sentative Walker of this county is

FINHIGAN's BALL.
Casey Must Have Danced, for the Gas

Murray & Mack's great talked Of,
aud looked for ball, was pulled Off
last night, at the Auditorium,
Spring Lake Park.
As on lockers, our city was repre-
sented by the -four hundred" the
smart set" and the Cracker
jacks, and they all went out with
one aim, and that was to be amused
The ball opened after a time, and
the first set (acO went of with a
drag, principally on account Of a
Pee Gee yard engine, which per
sisted in putting away, in trying to
get one of its long trains started
for Kansas City. The average
stage girl can sing against almost
any noise, from the rasping of a
saw, to the rattle of musketry,
and get some sort of hearing, but
the putting and suorting of the
"Mogul" and the rumbing of the
train passing directly in front of
the theatre building, took some OF
the starch out of the soubrett's
skirts, aud drowned out the CUR

and there was a lot of fun extract

Murray and Mack, as rival shop
keepers, are immense and they cer-
tainly got all the fun out of the
second act there was in 1t.
In the third act the first part
was very good, but the act was
spoiled through fact, that the gas
was turned of, Casey must have
danced), and it remained off, with
the exception of one or two jets in
the wings and gasoline burner in
the rear, during the last half Of
this act.
We would like to mention names,
of those deserving ones who danced
and sang well, and especially would
we like to throw boquet of adjec-
tives at the two sisters, who played
upon harps, but the programs
for the evenings entertainment
were noticeable for their absence
One feature Of the show not ad-

girls, who were cripples, to scatter
song cards through the audience,
which detailed a song of woe, "aud
then passing around again taking
them up and what few dimes and
