A uent
Editor Herald: Referring to
your article on the recent lire, and
your good suggestion for improve
ment of the burut district, permit a
warm friend of your lovely el'y to
impress the citizens of Columbia and
Maury county with the importance of
building a new Court House at the
earliest possible time. Your prjseut
Court House has Keen its day. Build
a new oue ou another H'e; let it be
lire proof aud attractive in design,
worthy of the coming importance of
Columbia with her completed Naliou-
ai Arsenal aud fifty eHtah'whe I man
ufacturing industries. Utilize the
site of your present Court House for a 1
lountaiu dedicated to John Browu,
the grand old Scotch-Irish hero who
founded your city. Have this Brown
Memorial Fountain dedicated with
imposing ceremonies by a Scotch
Irish Cougress, which would gladly
again assemble iu Columbia if it -vited.
Do not say that the present Court
House site is too valuable for this
Memorial rouutaiu. While this
mission of art is to soften, elevate and
humauize man, it also possesses
money value to surroundings. As an
illustration, where now stands the
most beautiful fountain lu the world
(t rerer to the Cincinnati Firth stnet
fountain) was but a few years ago the
most filthy and unattractive part of
Cincinnati. Property in that section
was cheap and difficult to sell
uri . i .. .
wiieu tne lounram was placed iu
this once wretched location, pr -perty
wout up wun a jump; its surround
ings are now built up with palaces,
wnere once fcioou novels.
A Memorial Foiiuta u on your Pub
uc csquare would in like manner
benefit Co'umbia. No time should
be lost in arraugiug for vour new
Court House. Tne destruction bv
lire oi tn? present one. would entail
untold loss and vexations and unend
ing troubles from the burning of
recor s, tic. II the ladies of Maurv
couuty would organize a John Brown
Memorial fountain Association, and
apply to your commissioners for the
Court House sito whou tho building
is removed, I am sure they would be
sustained and encouraged by your
citizens iu their efforts to beautify
Columbia, increase the value of its
real estate, and to do justice to the
memory of the patriot and Scotch-
Irish hero John Browu wuofound-
ed Columbia. The desiaru for this
suggested historic memorial fountain
should come from the braiu aud heart
of yoUr gifted home artist, Miss
Zollicoffjr. The Old Man.

CUM It' OPERA,
The Mario Greenwood Oomio Opera
Company gave a very line rendition of
' Hoecaecio" at the Opera House last
Saturday night. Tho company do
served a larger audience than it had, for
their work was really artistic. The
prima donna Marie Greenwood who
took the partif "Piammeta" grew more
aud more upon her audience. Her solo
at the beginning of tho fourth act was
so grandly sung that she was rapturous
ly encored, and hor singing ol "Swing
ing iu the Grape-Vine Swing," was so
sweetly done that she captivated her
audience completely. Asa second en
core she sang "Suwanee River," in a
sweet and pathetic style.
Sharing the honors of tho evening wan
the acting an'l singing of Miss Mamie
Taylor as "liocoaocio." This artisto'e.
line voioo was specially noticeable in
the choruses, which were remarkably
strong and fine. Her every motion
was grace' itself, and she eamo in for her
full share of admiration.
The pretty Miss Julia Earnest, as
"Isabella" the coopers" wife, acted her
part well. W. P. Guiberson, as "Lot
teringhi, the coojior" and Tom Martin
as "Lambertueclo, the grocer" are a
pair hard to beat in comedy part. The
acting of former as a drunkard could
not be Improved on, while the originali
ty of latters drollery kept the audience
in a roor of laughter. Tho "Coopers'
Chorus" was especially well rendered.
I'll'? dancing n the ducal palace was one
of tlie host things ever seen on our
stage. Altogether the company is a
strong one, and should they return in
February, as they propose, we bespeak
for them a hearty reception and packed
house, with standing room only.
