Atlanta leads the south in many re spects, the hation in several ways, bat until recently the fact that Atlanta leads the world in at least one thing, has been unkhown, says the Atlanta Constitution. A sassafras tree is the principal in Atlanta's new bid for fame. The lar sassafras tree in the world, says the department of agriculture, i To most people, the name sassa- fras, is associated jn their minds with the pigiure of low, stunted bush, luxurfantly foliaged, from the roots of which their grandmothers made tea of that nature.

In the yard of the First Methodist church of Atlanta, the sassafras tree stands, passed by thousands each day, none of whom have realized that in that yard was growipg the biggest tree of its kind in the world.

BY THE DRAMATIC CLUB OF QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY. There Was a Large Attendance st the Grand--The Production Was pital. : 'A large audience was present ston eearatation of the ' comedy, "Ihe Lost Paradise," 'at the Grand, Thursday evening. The large' present was accountable, nd doubt, to the special merit of the comedy, and splendid manner: in which Queen's Dramatic Club acted it, and greatly to that worthy institution, the géne: ral hospital, in which' the performance was in aid, Quite a substantial sum at the of the manwer in which the dramatic ir ied sem gw hea a widespread, and all who at as evening weve delighted ; w To. attempt to assign honors in the caste would be a difficult task. Miss U. E. Somerville, 8 leading lady, charmed all, and Miss A. T. Carlyle, as "Polly Fletcher," .was very bright pleasing. H. I. Spankie, in the pole of Reuben' Warner," and the strongest character in the caste, re- ceived the most favorable comment of all. The comedian, A. KE. O'Niell, as "Bob Appleton," carried his bright and happy role in a manner few train- ed actors could surpass. W. GG. Ross, as "Andrew Knowlton," Miss L. E. Armold, as his wife; T. L. D. Hinton, as Ralph Standish," and Knowlton's man of business (A. McDonald), re- ceived loud applause. "Cinders" (Miss B. Gilthooley) was indeed comical and unig ue, The work 'of all the other membérs of the caste, was immense. Under the direction of Irving 1. Beers, the dramatic club has 'excelled as ama- teurs, and it is hoped that next year some play dqually as good will be pre- sented, 3 The mugic dering the evening was provided by the Queen's University or- chestra, and all the numbers were ex- cellent. "Dear OW Billy." At the Grand on Tuesday, December 12th, A. G. Delamater will present Willlam Hawtrey and his company of distinguished London players in the laughable three-act farce, "Dear Old Billy," by W. H. Risque, direct from its hundred nights' run in Chicago, where the critics were united in desig- nating it as one of the bast farces seen in that cily in many years. Miss Amy Leslie, critic of the Chicago Daily News, writes of the piece : "Its clean- liness, speed, old-fashioned manner and new-fangled incidents make 'Dear Old Billy" decidedly a novelty." The central character--impersonated by Mr. Hawtrey, is a likable, easy-going 'old 'gentleman, caveless and absent minded, whose consideration for the Yedlings of others seems to get him into no end of scrapes, every one of which is witnessed by his wife, has nagged him for twenty years, and from whom, in desperation, he secures a legal sepurition, which i faulty in the fact that, while = it prevents her speaking to, or interfering with him, » does not prevent her being wherever is. 4 CONCERNING SNAKES. 3; #t Ta .
