One of the Colonel’s Predicaments
The serenity llntt usually pervades the
sanctum and envelops the mind of the
senior editor iu motionless calm, was
recently disturbed by a decisive remon
strance from the fair ladies who of late
have formed and organized a Guild.
Ills offense waRone of judgment, er
ring and impolitic, and whatever kind
iy light we might shed upon bis utter
ance; however prone we might be to
forgive, the mantle of charity does not
coyer the fact that his truant pen did
describe them as being old.
Like a bolt from the blue on a cloud
less day, came the lirst protest—a gen
tle, sweet, but determined demand for
an explanation, and the Colonel’s di
nlomacy and tact and artful dodging,
gathered from year’s of newspaper
trials, might have won the day and
been oil to the troubled waters, had
there been but one to pacify; but, alas!
quick and rapid, and as many as the
guns of royal salute, came other fair
offended ones, denying the charge of
ancientness, and seeking vengeance,
till he found himself in unredeemable
confusion, his courage gone, his tact as
lumbering as a longshoresman's gait.his
explanations more glib, but less effec
tive than the stuttering excuse of a
country bumpkin, and realizing immi
nenl rout and defeat, he lied precipi
tantlv to the tall timber, to be with na
ture and himself alone, among things
that he dared, without fear of contra
diction, to say were really, truly and
thourouglily old.
The Col. still maintains that there
are old ladies, hot that their pictures
adorn ancestral halls—rich, rare old
paintings and daguerolypes—ladies ot
whom epitaphs have been written and
who sleep the long and unending sl-*p
and not the kind that form and organ
ize and give life and sweetness and
beauty to Guilds in this our day of
grace.
Wallace Circus Band.
L’rof. C. Z. Bronson's Conceit Band
of forty four soloists is one of the best
ever organized.
The Chronicle of Augusta, Ga., said:
“The Wallace Shows present the
tlnest circus band that has ever been
offered in the South. When the show
was here before a like remark was
made. It is now better than ever. C.
Z. Bronson has brought this musical
attraction up to the point of making it
the envy of concert and circus mana
gers. Professor Bronson is a musician
of great excellence.”
