A Lesson for Meddlers.

The park well and wind mill seems
to have much attraction for the Curl
Gus, especially the town and country
boys who have an idea that nothing
is finished without they give the fin
ishing touch. One Of the above char
acters concluded last Wednesday
that he would check "Mr. Perkins"
in his mad revolutionary struggles,
and by taking advantage of him by
manipulating the pump handle, broke
the main shaft, whereupon the boy
fell PROSTATE into the hands of the
city Marshall whose sympathies
caused him to carry him before the
nearest practitioner, Esq. Black, who
after an examination of the injuries
done, wrote outa prescription which
was filled at an expense of $3.50 to
the boy. Boys don't monkey with
the wind mill, or you might have to
take similar dose.

Bible Society Meeting.

The Warren County Bible Society
will meet at early candle light on the
second Sunday in June, 1888, at the
Presbyterian Church in McMinnville.
The great purpose of the meeting is
to excite an interest in the cause of
giving all people an open Bible. The
only agency for doing this in this
country is through the American BIZ
BILE Society, headquarters at New
York. Ours is a mere auxiliary to
this. No Bible reaches the heather
except through this channel. The
Missionaries of all the churches OBJ
tain their Bibles from this great So
ciety, | have been Secretary now of
the Warren County Bible Society for
six years, and during that time have
received monthly and official records
of all donations to the cause from
every State in the union, including
every auxiliary society or individual.
And in the whole records no church,
nor church member, or church official
in Warren county has given a dollar
or nickle to this cause, except the
churches and people in McMinnville
and vicinity, and but few rarely seen
in attendance from other parts of the
County, at our annual gatherings. If
the heather are blessed and better off
without the Bible then we should
all return to the Roman Catholic fold
and take from our people the word of
the living God, for this heathen bless
ing will then fall to us. 1t is painful
to us to bear this testimony. But /
hope the sad facts will stir our coun-
try friends to act in this matter and
march to their duty in the premises.
1 know one liberal gentleman who
makes no pretense to piety, who q
year or so ago gave to this cause $500
This enables the Bible house at New
York to print 100 testaments. Those
gospels will not return void tc
God. And who knows or can count
responsibilities of good growing out
of this single donation, the soul:
made glad and yet to be made glaC
by the study of those gospels thus
planted in heather homes. Remem
Der one nickel will publish tesla
ment. Why not send it and man!
more to the American Bible Society
to enable it to achieve this good.

department over the first session,
coupled with the universal praise of
the character of the schools by pa
irons and numerous visitors, the
Board takes much pleasure in pre-
senting to the public a report show
ing that the schools have been con-
Quoted on basis showing the small
cost of tuition to be only ninety four
cents per month on the scholar. This
calculation includes several perma-
nent improvements added to the
buildings during the last year as in
cidental expenses.
The established and recognized
character of the schools conducted
upon an economical basis as shown
in this report certainly reflects great
credit on the judgement and actions
of both the Board of Mayor and AL
derman and to the Board of Educa-
ton, who were trusted with the Or
ganization and establishment of this
important work two years ago. They
have forever settled the question
school or no school.

oPHTHALMIC OPTICIAN,
Of Louisville, KY,

Is stopping at the WARREN

fering to those who are suffering with
defective sighta superior quality of
Pebble and Rock Crystal Spectacles.
They can be worn for any length of
time at one sitting, giving astonishing
clearness of vision by candle or other
artificial light, and comfort to the
spectacle wearer heretofore unknown.
DIR. KNAPP not only has the best
Glasses to be found in the market
but also carefully examines the eyes
of the patient and gives indispensable
advice as to their proper selection
and use. HN ay 'st rcll
Since spectacles are essential in the
protection of the eye and the preser-
walton of sight, they should be treat
ed as scientifically as the eye itself.
Their wrong or non use (when requir-
ed) not only produces large percen-
tage of eye Affections, but is conduct
tive of some of the most serious nerv-
Gus disturbances. They produce
Squirting, Rupture of the Retina,
Engagement of the blood vessels,
Weak Eyes, inflammation Of the Ocu-
lar Nerves, Amaurosis, Floating
Specks before the Eyes, Dizziness,
Headache, ETC., etc. This in time
may produce Nervous and Brain af-
flictions thereby not only entailing
Losses of Sight but untold suffering.
DIR. KNAPP is prepared with all
the requisite and ingenious instru-
ments known to modern Ophthalmo-
logy. He makes a thorough exam
ination of each Eye, to learn its ex-
act Shape, Condition, Refractive
Power, Accomodative Power, Con-
vergence, ETC., and makes a Lens for
each eye so accommodating the two
lenses, that the wearer sees with per-
/ feet ease, comfort and distinctness.
We guarantee correct adjustment
in the Curvature, Axis, Power of
