In Need of An Opera House

We do not believe there is a man
within our city limits who will not
agree with us when we say that Alex
anaria is badly in need Of an Opera
House, such an one as is at Batou
Rouge, Lake Charles and New Iberi;.
towns little if any larger than ours,
and not any more enterprising or far
Their advanced on the road of progress.
This question, one of true logic and
good sense, and which means a great
deal in the way of convenience and
style to Us, is just being talked of by
many of our people. Of course we do
not pretend to say that we need a
building of this kind as gorgeous or as
costly as Shreveport, or as large, for
Shreyeport's Opera House cost $685.
900, and is one of the most complete
in the South. We do urge, however,
that one to cost $4,000 or more,
would be in the proper liue for us.
Our town is fast building, its popu-
latlon Is daily growing more and more;
besides, We are pretentious, as it were,
and need an Opera House, and need it
badly. Every theatrical manager who
comes in our midst wonders how we
have for so long term of years Kept
in the background, and why we have
not patterned after our smaller neigh
boring cities.
This is our first article on this sub
ject-not our last-and we trust our
live men will see the necessity of this
move in the right direction. Let's
have meeting and discuss this sub
ject--talk it over, subscribe aud build
an Opera House. Several frst-class
lots can be easily secured in the GEN.
trail and most convenient part of Alex
andria, just where such building
should be situated. Talk the matter
over, and let's move.

THE ARrEsIAN WELL.-The arte-
sian Well in the City Square, which
has been worked on for nearly four
months, is now a certainty, and the
people are greatly rejoiced over the
same. Since Saturday night a steady
stream of pure free stone water, smell
ing strongly of sulphur, has been bull
ging through the pipes above the
ground. 1t comes at the rate of lit
tie over eight gallons a minute, which
in twenty-four hours, would amount to
$4,000 gallons. 1t will be remem-
bered, as the fact was published in this
paper at the time, that when the con,
tract was made the Artesian Well Co.
guaranteed flow of pure water of Is
coo gallons in twenty-four hours, for
which they were to get $500, or il
$4,000 gallons in twenty-four hours,
they were to be paid $4,000. The pre-
sent flow of water, over eight gallons
per minute, is coming, when the drill
and inside piping is still under ground
in the main pipe. Many think that
when these are removed the water will
flow faster. The water is soft, clear
and warm, and was drunk in qnanti-
ties to-day by many who went to the
we'll. The boring will again be con,
tinued. The depth of the we'll now is
64o feet. How much further it will
be bored down remains to he seen. As
the matter stands at present the we'll
can be almost pronounced a success,
and the citizens are proud of this their
latest and best enterprise.
Ice FACroRY-That Alexandria is
soon to have another enterprise, one
which she has long needed, and for
which the entire populace have been
elamoring for, is now an assured GER
tainty. We will have it, and that too
in a short time as letter to Mr. W.
L. Sanford, of this City, from Mr.. E.
A. Dickson, of Paris, Texas, who a
short while back was here. says: 81
will come to Alexandria with my Ice
Factory, and you can inform the peo-
pie of your City to that effect" Mr..
Dickson further adds in his letter that
he will want the land he inspected
while here, 1--WE believe it is in the up
per part of Town, near Levin's pla-
ming mill.) In conclusion the gentle
man says: "You can make it public
that | am coming and will leave Paris
as soon as my boiler arrives from In
dianapolis, which will be about four
weeks" Thus ends the cLapter.-
With an Ice Factory assured, we ask
whvt next? Oh, we are getting there
