Miss Ida Bentley, the American story
teller, appeared at Blacks opera house,
Tuesday evening under the auspices of
the Marietta Lyceum Association, be-
ing pleasantly introduced by Prof,
Charles Clotfelter. Miss Bentley gave
Victor Hugo's masterpiece, Lies Mis-
erables." We have had some fine ar
lists in their respective lines before,
but Miss Bentley surpasses them all. In
culture of conception, realistic rendi-
ton, impersonation of character and
dialect, she is without an equal. Her
voice is clear and penetrating, and her
renditions are absorbing and intensely
interesting. She delighted the large
audience present, and all speak in her
praise. She gave few humorous re-
citals at the conclusion that were pleas
ing and showed her powers were great
and grand. She said that the respect
full attention by the apparently inter-
ested audience was the best she had
had in any city.

The thanksgiving sermon delivered
at the Baptist church on last Thursday
by Rev, A. B, Vaughan, of Canton, was
a very able one. He also preached at
night. DR.. Vaughan is a minister that
always has something to say and says
it well. The services at the Episcopal
church were very appropriate and en-
joyable. Rev. Pise delivered a fine
sermon.

The thanksgiving dinner served
at the Presbyterian mission on Locust
street, made fifty children happy and
each one not only had fine dinner, but
carried box of good things to eat
away with them. There was food
ample for one hundred persons. This
was praiseworthy contribution by
some of our citizens.
Cobb county local option law being
declared constitutional, settles the
matter, and the town and county will
remain dry. Blind tigers on back alleys
and cellars are far more preferable
than open barrooms on our public
square to injure property, debauch
morals and destroy character.
