"a Legislator" writing in the Richmond
Dispatch about the different legislators has
the following about Hon. j. W. Churchman
of Augusta: "Iere is my friend and desk
make. Bill Churchman, of Augusta. He is
like everything from Augusta-big. broad,
and Of ford complexion. So far as L am
competent to judge, if this legislature is
weak in anything, it is backbone; but
Churchman is not suffering in that way.
He is as tenacious of his opinion and as
sound in his conclusions as any man here.
Old Nick himself, with an extra pair of
horns, couldn't turn him from the way he
is going. Churchman has had time with
two bills. He had fence bill he thought
would fill a long-felt want but he couldn't
make the fence high enough for Gwyn and
the big cattlemen from the Southwest; nor
could he get it low enough for the fellows
from the pine and hoop-pole districts. He
did 5000 worth of work on that fence, and
now there amt any more fence than there
was when he started. Then he had a bill
subjecting to attachment a mans wages for
supplies furnished to his family. He be-
lieved it best for the laborer; he believes if
you make man pay his debts he will be
honest; if you continue to broaden and
lengthen the laws enabling men to evade
the payment of their obligations, that soci-
ETY. will become corrupt. Well, what be-
came of that bill? One hundred and twen-
ty-three amendments were made to IT, and
finally it read that if A owed B $50, and
ATTEMPTED to collect it, that the court should
be compelled to give judgment for the $50
he owed B. 1t is needless to say the gentle.

Two Ways Of
Getting Glasses !!

One is to go to a firstclass
optician, haveyoureyes prop
erly tested and get you what
you need the other, to go to
a merchant who keeps specta-
cles, make a grab in the bag
as it were, get a pair that
don't fit you (although it may
seem so for the moment) and
run the risk Of running your
eye sight entirely.
If you need the services of
a good optician we can serve
you. We make no charge for
examination and charge a
moderate price for the glass
