Will Be Presented During the
Holidays-A Columbus ORA
matte Company.

On the evening of December
9th, or during the Holidays there
will be presented at the Grand
Opera House by the Columbians,
an amateur dramatic company,
isabella" a high-class drama.
The company is said by many
theatrical critics to be the best
amateur company in the south.
The play was presented for the
first time by the company at
Columbus, and those who saw it
agreed that it was the best seen on
the Columbus stage, outside of the
"Christian," this season. The
Columbians are equal to any com
pany now travelling in this section
of the country. The young la
dies and gentlemen who compose
the company are of the best fami-
lies of Columbus. We hope our
people will turn out and show
their appreciation of the masterly
efforts of these young ladies and
gentlemen of Columbus by giving
them full house.

Married at Washington.
United to Mrs. Marie Newman At
klns-They Will Reside in
Mississippi.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Unlted
States Senator Sullivan and Mrs.
Marie Newman Atkins were mar
ried today at the parsonage of St.
Stephens Cathedral. The marri-
age sevice was conducted by the
Rev. w. S. Caughy, and was wit
messed by only the relatives of
Senator Sullivan and his bride.
The engagement was one OF d
years standing and the marriage
was to have occurred last summer,
but was postponed, owing to the
serious illness of Senator Sullivan.
The bride is sister Of DR.. Harry
Newman and a daughter of the
late DR.. Newman, one of the best
known Washington physicians of
his time. She has a graceful fig
ure, blue eyes and auburn hair; is
a graduate of the Georgetown con
vent and an accomplished musi-
clan. The wedding gown of the
bride was of Oxford-gray, tailor
made travelling suit, with jaunty
hat and gloves to match. The
couple will leave in few days
for Senator Sullivan's home in
Mississippi, going by way OF
Memphis.

Death Caused by
Heart Disease.
SO :Sald the Coroner's Jury in
the Case Of Reed Cline, Who
Died Monday Night.

At an early hour Monday even
ing Mr.. Reed Cline, young man
Of Meridian, was discovered in a
dying condition at his lodgings in
this city. A telegram was at once
sent to his family, who are promi-
nent people IN their city, to sig
nifty their wishes as to disposi-
tion Of the remains. They an
swered, instructing that the body
be turned over to a LOCAL under
taker to prepare for shipment
home. which was done.
The evidence before the coro-
ner's jury went to show that Mr.
Cline arrived here Friday evening
and on Saturday morning COM
planned OF feeling badly. His con-
dition grew worse, and on Sunday
morning some one suggested that
a doctor be called In, as some OF
his symptoms resembled small
pox. DR.. Smythe was called in,
and secuted the idea of smallpox,
saving that Mr.. Cline evi-
denced symptoms of biliousness.
The sick man continued to grow
worse until Monday night, when
the end came. The coroner's
jury brought in a verdict of death
from heart disease.

Slavery Considered
As a Blessing.
Major Pratt, of the Tenth Cavalry,
Says 1t Brought Him From
the Jungles of Africa.

New York, Dec. 2O.-A dispatch to
the Times from Carlisle, Pa, says:
In reply to protest from Bishop F.
H. Hill, of the African M. E. church
Major Richard H. Pratt, superinten-
dent of the Carlisle indian school and
an officer of the tenth (colored) cavalry,
has written to Bishop Hill defending
his assertions as to the benefits of
slavery for the negro.
Major Pratt last week delivered an
address before the Cumberland county
teachers institute, in which he spoke
Of slavery as having beeL the means of
developing the negro race aud bring
ing it into a beneficial contact with civ
ilization. On the appearance Of re-
port of his address, Bishop Hill address
sed vigorous letter to the major, de-
manding to know on what grounds he
justified negro slavery.
Major Pratt in hisreply said:

Awful Catastrophe
BefeII Young Lady.
Accidentally Dropped Curling
Iron Down Her Back. and
Trouble Followed.

Ap awful catastrophe befell one OF
Greenville's society young ladies last
Sunday morning. She was curling her
hair for church when accidentally
dropped the curling irons down her
back. It dropped down between her
clothing and the frog Of her back and
went sizzling and frying down, down,
until it was out of her reach. The
scene which followed was awful
She jumped up and down like Com
manche Indian at snake dance, and
hallooed sire! ouchl gee-whiz! jeminy!
WOW! wow!" using many expressions
which seemed to indicate she was in
pain. In the meantime the house was
filled with the odor of baked backbone
and fried tenderloin. Her parents
came rus hing in and finding her ex-
ecuting the "coon jine" they thought
her crazy, and all this time the curling
iron waa getting in its work.
She tried to tell them what was the
matter, but could only gasp, "take it
out! take it out' But her frightened
and puzzled parents didn't know what
she meant, and thinking her insane,
got rope and tied her. The curling
iron then turned over and baked the
skin from the vertebra and commenced
to cook her ribs. She kicked and
squalled like campmeeting of cats. Z
Finally she managed to tell what
was the matter. Then her mother cut
open her corset with butcher knife,
and the curling iron, smelling like q
hog-killing time and fried cracklings,
dropped out.
Since that time the young lady wears
her lumbar region tied up in linseed
oil, and sleeps on her frontispiece. The
doctor says her back looks like the pat
tern Of crazy-quilt, or map Of Cuba
after the revolution. The burns ex-
tended entirely over the withers and
sebacious follicles, The jibboon Of the
pyloral. he says, is badly sacrificed,
while the 6orsal fin is fricasseed 90

essary.

Chanukah Ball
Wednesday Night
Jewish Woman's League Gives
Entertainment for the
Children.

The Jewish Woman's League gave a
Chanukah Ball last Wednesday night
for the children, but the large as well
as the small attended. Although it
was raining all day Wednesday, and
it was a rather damp night, it was
attended largely. At 10 p. M, the
small children vacated the floor for the
larger ones, and it lasted until late
hour. The Mexican band played the
lovely dance music, which was much
appreciated by all. A. march was
formed early in the evening by the
small children, and bag. of fruit
and candy was given to each. After
the march the children lined up in
front of the platform, where Mr..
S. Romansky sat. He lectured to
them on Chanukah. After his lecture
they danced for short time-until 10
D. m.-and then formed their farewell
march. Each child was given a sou
venir. The dance was enjoyed by
every one. There were so many peo-
ME present, that it is hardly possible
for US to name them all.

Wanted o Receipt.

Last week a Chinaman went into
Greenville clothing store and made
a few purchases. After paying FOR the
goods he asked the clerk
for receipt. This being out OF the
ordinary, the clerk protested that no
receipt was necessary. The Celestial
insisted and he went to the proprietor
and stated the case. That gentleman .
curiosity was aroused and he said, "Pll
take a receipt to him. l want to ma
out his reasons for asking it."
"Allee litee," said the Chinaman.
