AN OPTIClAN

Is one who makes the scientific ad-
.justment OF Spectacles his special bus,
mess. He must thoroughly understand
the science of physical optics, and the
measurement and curvature OF lenses,
and the action Of light, its reflection
and refraction upon the human eyes,
and it's workings as perfectly as a
matchmaker understands watch. he
must understand opthalmoscopy, retl-
noscopy and opthalmometry, and be
able to make every objective and sub
jective test with accuracy and precis-
ion, to measure every defect OF refrac-
tive error, visual acuity, or muscular
imbalance, and to select and adjust
lenses which will place his eye in per-
feet focus.
1 am devoting special attention tto.
this science, and have prepared myself
for expert work. If your eyes trouble
you in any way, see me and will make
careful examination and tell you Just
what ought to be done.

Or to make it clear to you, the house in
which We do business has become too
suall to conveniently accom- modate our
large and growing trade. Hence wehaye
secured larger and more desirable house
on Granite Row. Now, we have not for
gotten what job it was four years ago
to lug about nine thousand dollars OF
stuff up here from our little old place,
though the back doors were almost touch
inc. and how much more of job will
it be now for us to move over twenty-five
thousand of Goods clear across the Pub
lie Square. We don't want to do it, and
we amt agoin' to do it. No, we are just
going to make grab pile of it, and let
our friends and enemies come in and
carry it off for us. To give you an idea
of our intentions in the mstter-listen
For every ten cents traded with us we
will give you help-move ticket. If you
trade soc. worth you get five help. move
tickets. and so on. These tickets entitle
the holders to free grabs at the pile, or 1c
in trade for each ticket held. Nor is that
all. Every little boy or girl who comes
in and buys 25c. worth of Goods, or is

The ProtestanU ministers OF Marshall
town, Ia, have formed sermon trust.
The State Board which controls penal
and charitable institutions has made a
schedule rate of So which it will pay
for sermons preached in institutions
underits government. The ministerial
union has reached the conclusion that
the rate is too low, and its. members
have agreed that they will not preach

the board will import cheaper preach
ers, or whether twill pay the price
demanded by the combination, remains
to be seen.

4 convention of the wheat growers
of Georgia was held in Macon last
week, and much good is expected from
the meeting. The Greenwood papers
suggest that similar convention OF
the wheat growers of South Carolina
should be held in that town, and we
heartily second the suggestion. Such
! gathering, we are sure, would be a
benefit to the farming interests OF the
State. Oul farmers can produce all
the wheat they need, and they should
be urged to SOW larger crops of it.

That the Democratic party should be
preparing for thoroughly organized
and clearly defined attack upcn the
trust evil, a course in which it will be
upheld by the people, is due solely to
the logic of circumstances. Within
the past year the growth Of the trusts
has been unparalleled in extent and
all-embracing in the variety of COM
mercial and industrial fields monopo-
lied. The records OF the State OF New
Jersey are filed, page by page, with
the listing of trusts brought into being
under the accommodating laws OF that
commonwealth. The combination OF
capital thus affected reaches an aggre-
gate Of billions of dollars.
