PARIS, TEX Sept, is The Georgia
Wonder, Miss Lulu Hurst,
opened the theatrical sea-
son at the opera-house last evening.
Owing TO the failure Of the manage.
ment To receive the advertising mat
ter II was not well known, and conse-
quently the audience was small. We
hope, however, that Miss Lula will re-
ceive the patronage of the Texas pub
lie, as there is something very remark
able in her power. She seemed
able TO control chair in
the hands of strong men at
will. A number Of gentlemen selected
from the audience attempted ia vari-
Gus ways 10 show their masculine
strength in contrast 10 that of young
girl Of but 10 pounds, but she was
master of the occasion every time
Miss Lula is quiet, modest, unassum-
ing young lady, and is In possession OF
a force that battles the skin of all men
OF science and shat belongs TO the re-
markable phenomenn of tho nine
teenth century.

''Oid Citizen in to-day's issue Of
the Texas Tribune speaks out very
plainly in regard to the gambling
element in our city, whose numbers
are constantly being added TO as other
cities busy themselves to get rid Of
gambling. 1t is cause for great
anxiety on The part OF parents when
we know that temptations of a
gambling nature are continually In
the way Of our boys. But
| whilst we would condemn
with unqualified terms the practice
Of gambling as 1t Is generally under
stood, we would remind our citizens
that there are other vices in full force
in our midst, that are equally per
nicious and In our Judgment Infinite
ly worse for the morals of our city
Whilst we condemn the one vice lei
US not shut our eyes TO the many Other
vlcts that will not only ruin our boys
Financially but physically aud morally
