The melhOdists Deserve Praise.

For bringing Ralph Bingham to
Richmond the ladies OF the Methodist
church deserve the thanks of that por-
ton of the public which went, saw,
and were captivsted by his exhibition
last Tuesday night.
Bingham is a wOnder-he can do all
things well. He sparkles with charm
ing wit that readeIs Deacon Sam SCOTS
saliies stale, fiat and ualaughable. He
sings with ease and dances with all the
magic aid that highly emotional legs
can lend. His antics are those of the
comic WillO'the Wisp that led his
listeners into many-a pitfall of fun and
frOlic. Whether reciting, reading, or
singing. he fulfills the injunction OF
DemOsthenes. in so far as action,
action, action" is concerned. Without
dOubs Ralph Bingham is a live wire
among the leading platform entertain
ers. His jpility bubbles over Just as
the sap stews out of the naples IN the
spring time. His lady love-making is
OF the audacious, exube' It ftYle that
finds variety only in the quintessence
of kisses, and in the rapturous embrace
that is as pot of honey to his heart.
In the bridge scene his drunkenness is
of sort rarely seen on the stage. He
is an adept in the high art of drunken
DECENTRALIZATION and tipsy gymnastics. As
Will 5 Hays fat negro woman he
gives an entertaining lesson in the flex-
Utility of bone and the pliabllity of mus
Gle. He has good voice and does,
equally as we'll, the serious as the comic
part OF his entertainment. He is a
SUCCESS!

WE should like to see Lawrenceburg
secure a Government Building, as the
county of Anderson is to the revenue
receipts of this district what the hub is
10 the wheel of a wagon more than
half We suggest that the city offer a
site free to the Government and put all
hands to work to get the bill through
Congress. The Anderson News prints
a card from Citizen" from which this
potential argument is taken:
STATISTICS show that Anderson
county pays every year more Than half
OF the revenue for the whole Eighth
district, and vet the officers at Law
renceburg are compelled to put up with
such rooms as can be rented from pri-
vate persons. Other towns and cities
which do not pay anything like the
revenue that is collected here every
year have their handsome buildings
erected by the government costing all
the way from $50 900 to Sl50,0OO. No
one will pretend that Madison county
rivals Anderson in the matter OF col
lectiOns. and yet she has her building
costing the government, as the writer
is Informed. about 100000. and these
splendid offices TO day are standing
tenantless and deserted except for the
pOstOffice and a stamp deputy, while
the office of the Collector has been re-
moved to Danville.
