The attraction at the Dixie for to-
night is Flirting With Fate" and the
star is none other than the smiling
Douglas Fairbanks, who made such a
favorable impression recently in REG.
Fgie Mixes. In" IN Flirting With
Fate you will see one OF the best
comedy dramas ever produced and II
is offered with the assurance that It
will please everyone The fact that
Doug Fairbanks is the star is In itself
a guarantee that Il Is out OF the ordi-
nary. and in addition to this Mr.. Fair
man gives his assurance that II is a
choice attraction. There will also be
one OF those screaming two-act Key
stone comedies. "A Janitor's Wife's
Temptation" featuring the old Bio
graph comedian. Fred Mace. Fred Is
a scream and you will remember him
when you see him. Truly this Is a
great program and we urge you not
to miss II.
For tomorrow there Is one OF the
most powerful productions yet seen
In this city. The Paramount program
offers Daniel Frohmans wonderful
morality drama. THE Evil Thereof"
In five master acts. featuring a select
company OF artists headed by the well
known star. Mr.. Frank Losee. The
story possesses extraordinary interest
because three individual plots are
welded together. eliminating In n
great massive climax. This great hu.
man drama is so striking In its fidel.
ity to life that It's realism will startle.
It's powerful. it's unusual, you cannot
afford to miss this positively great
attraction. and especially at the very
small admission Of 10 cents.

With reference to free mail delivery
for Bryan. The Eagle calls attention ia
. letter published today from the de-
partment at Washington to Postmas
ter Astin. The letter says the service
will be established November list
BUT all the conditions in regard To
sidewalks. cross walks, street names
house numbers, ETC., must be complied
with.
The Eagle does not interpret the let.
ter to mean that the requirements
must be met In full before the service
II established, but that 1t does mean
that when the man comes to look over
the city. lay out the routes. etc., that
the people must be actively engaged
in sidewalk building, and the city
must have the work Of placing the
street names at street corners well un.
der way. II the inspector finds this
spirit Of cooperation among the citi.
Gems to such an extent as to inspire
confidence that all requirements will
be met before the work is stopped, the
service will be started. II he does not
10 find It, the service will not be
started and that's all there is to It.
We must not think for a moment
that we can sit still. do nothing and
get the service anyway. The govern
ment CANNOT deliver mail unless the
streets are named and the houses
numbered. It WILL NOT deliver It
unless walks and cross walks are
built SO the carriers will not bog down
during rainy weather.
Now. good people. II is up to us. II
We want free mail delivery we must
get busy. Let the city put on cam.
paign OF naming the streets and build
ing cross walks. and the citizens to
building sidewalks such as was never
known before.
II we get anything good, we must
work for IT, II will not be handed to
Us on a silver platter.

The Congress and the legislatures
of the several Southern states. save

But the thing persists.
And instead of getting 10 cents for
his cotton, the farmer is actually sell

The postmaster has been officially
notified that Bryan is to have free
mail service started on the first Of
November, provided certain conditions
are met. You will notice that the
main feature Of the requirement is
sidewalks. We are glad to state
again that the curb and gutter con-
tractors for the city street paving
have received any number OF applica-
lions for new walks. but they should
have many more. Not just for the
mere fact that this will help get free
mail delivery, but because 1t will help
the city along so much. It will get
you and your family and your neigh
bors out Of the mud. Let's build side
walks and let's do 1t now.
We are glad to state that with very
few exceptions every sidewalk In the
business district was swept off clean
Saturday night before the stores were
closed and a little later the street
sweeper came along and cleaned the
trash out OF the gutter. One firm.
