The following ~ quoted from
last weeks Fulton Telegraph:
At a meeting held at Earl, last
Friday night, about 5000 was sub

Of making the survey of the pro-
posed electric railway from Here

thusiasm was shown. s. l.. Rob-
ison. Of Mexico, general maua-
ger of the traction company, Judge

speeches on the proposition, and
farmers of Earl vicinity seemed
anxious to take hand in the pre-.
liminary steps toward the c)nstruc-
ton Of the new road.
The people Of that section Of tho
northern part OF the county thru
which the road is to run have also
shown considerable interest in the
scheme, aud at meetings held dur.
ing the past few weeks have sub
scribed money to aid in paying for
the survey, in sums sufficient t.
cover their proportion of the cost.
Tuesday night General Manager
Robson and others held a meet.

Much interest was shown, however.
r. f. Race, of Mexico, who was
in Fulton Wednesday on business
connected with the building of the

plan proposed is practically the
same as that adopted by the great
Mckinley system. The company
can build the line with the assist

COMING TO GRAND
5laney's Sing Sing to Liberty and Black Beauty" Booked
 for Next Week.

Jack Doris, the great Jail Rrastor who will be seen here at the Grand Opera House on Wednesday, October 2S, in Harry Clay Blaney's latest me,o- dramatic success From Sing Sing to Liberty" tells of an interesting expari . ence he had while playing in St. Lo,is recently.
 At the request of an old darkev. whom he had known for several years. he attended a colored church one Sun. day. This old darkey was deacor and a staunch pillar of the church. In the midst of long prayer, just bcford the sermon the preacher snapped hia fingers once or twice, most audlbly. sd much So that it attracted the attention of some of the congregation. The old deacon being little deaf on the pulpi side, did not hear 1t and Mir. Dorril being little inquisitive, explained thi occurrence to his old friend and asked the reason for 1t. As soon as the conl gregation was dismissed the deacoI went up to the minister and said "EldE CT l noticed that during your prayeg yo' snapped yo' fingers twice and somIl of yo' congregation would like to knoh the meaning of It." q recollect 1t. Deacon Johnson, the preacher replied T recollect 1t very well. It just donl come to me. who put that blue chip iH the collection basket last Sunday.

AT THE HYPERION
Frank Lalor in Prince Hum bug Tuesday Night and The Red Nill' for /
 Three Days.

The sale of seats opens this morn Ing for Frank Lalors appearance in the new musical comedy, Prince | Humbug,' which occurs at the Fly. perion next Tuesday night. That there is quite likely tu be an unusual demand Is shown in the numerous re- . quests that seats be laid aside which have been received by mail and phone during the past few days MT. Lalor's great popularity here, and the fact that he comes with a production which has just made an extraordin- ary success in Boston, Is responsible for the widespread interest which prevails, It appears to be generally known that Prince Humbue' com. biret all the elements necessary to the success of musical comedy with an environment of scenery, costumes electrical and mechanical effects which gives 1t all the bfillancy of vast spectacle. On this point the con- servative Boston Transcript says, The production is most effective series of piSLulSe, tAttpllOldllS TlcH III COlOr- ing and supmtuousness. It is many r.onth since any entertainment ot this type has been so superbly cos tuned. At times one forgets that 1t Is musical comedy and secs In 1t the glitter of impressive spectacle" All of the Boston papers have indulgea in unstinted praise of Mir. Lalor's new production and of the excellence of his supporting company Prince Humbug is said to tell an immensely funny story and to have very charm ing musical score. In view of all that has been said and written con- corning this performance 1t Is safe to assume that 1t will prove to be one of the most delightful events of the entire amusement season here It ls expected that a long line of purchasers will be waiting for the box offices to open this morning.

P0Ll'S GREAT BILL
The Gibson Girls, Walter Law & Co. and the Brothers Byrne,
 of Eight Bells Fame.

The Gibson Girls, Walter Law and company in al sketch and The Brothers Byrne are the trio that will lead the Pol forces next week,
 The Gibson" type of girl is one that is considered tho ideal one from the viewpoint of almost every lady It is a distinct type with certain amount of class to it that has made lt stand prominent as the accepted American type
 Tn introducing vaudeville patrons to his feature number next week Man. aser Poli will present The Gibson Girl Review" with Miss Texas Guinan and six other types of the Gibson style This act, by Harry Bssing and Alfred Solman, is one of the latest and b st and has been accorded lots of favor ablo comment as being a distinct and very beautiful offering The staging is by Harry Bissing, the music by Alfred Solman and the lyrics by Paul West Special scenery has been painted by Earnest Alberts, and a famous yacht Ing scene, the first of It's kind eyer produced on the stage, is a feature that will appeal strongly to those who de- light in witnessing scenic effects.
 The various characters of the Gibson type are shown by means of living pie lures: The first, She Seeks a Convent; Mrs. Babhes Tri9s to Cheer Her, An other Monopoly Her Friends Thought She Had stayed in Retirement TOO Long Her intimate Friend sympa- trizes for the scandalous Stories the Papers Are Printing; Has She a Friend?
 In selecting the young ladies for this number it was necessary, of course 10 | adhere closely 10 those possessed of a Gibson style. Miss Texas Guinan. a niece of Senator Joseph w. Bailey of | Texas, and who derives her name from [ the state Of her birth, is the Gibson Widow, a stunning type which she fits admirably Miss Guinan was formerly prima donna of The Hoyden" com ! pany, and with Bob White, she also took leading part in The snow man"
 Regarding her unique name, "Texas," . she cmphatically states that 1t was her real name" explaining that her father was the first white settler In Waco. Texas, and that the four gen eratlons that have sprung up in that region of her family, the first of each all bear the name Texas" in honor of the state Miss Gulnan adds greatly to the charm of the act,
 Miss Clara Dollard who is tho "Gib- son Bathing Girl selected that role
