GLASS SATISFACTION

No one likes to wear glasses,
but we would be unfortunate
indeed if we were deprived of
this artificial aid to failing Wis.,
ion. The next best thing to
no glass is the satisfaction af-
forded by having the right
glass. We desire to make a
walking advertisement of every
person to whom we sell glasses,
and we endeavor to do it by
giving the greatest ease and
comfort any glass can afford.
We have the adequate knowl-
edge and experience to enable
us to do this. If we do you
good work you will tell about
it sometime; if we do you bad
work you will tell about it at
all times.
Prof. Griffith, of the Ameri-
can Optical Company, will be

Melon Growers Meet.

A meeting of the marketing COM
mittee OF the melon growers asso-
ciation of the Arkansas valley was
held in Rocky Ford Monday.
Seven members of the different as
sociations were present. Reports
from the several associations we're
quite favorable. Some points will
have melons ready for the market
by August 10th. The presumption
is the yield Of cantaloupes will be
large and each association will have
cantaloupes enough to fill the con-
tracts made with the Western
Poultry and Game Company, of
St. Louis.
There are various reasons why
Ii will be very much to the ad-
vantage Of all cantaloupe growers
who expect good prices for their
melons to be identified with the
melon growers association. Ar
rangements have been made where

16. 900, and federal loss at 1000. North
Carolina had a few troops there and
they were worthy OF the state that gave

facts Tito a very edifying paragraph.
Although by no means new to h read.
ers Of The Messenger, we copy It:
North Carolina furnished one~ffth
of the entire confederate army from
first to last. At the surrender at APP
pomattox one-half the musketS stack
ed for capitulatfon were from North
Carolina troops, led by General w, r.
Cox. North Carolina made the last
charge, Planners battery from Will

Dina troops under Pettigrew advanced
farthest up the slope at Gettysburg.
The last general engagement of the wal
was fought ait Bentonville, N. c., Major
General Hoke with IA, 900 of our heroes
held $4,000 union veterans at bay for
three dreadful days. The military pop
ulation OF North Carolina in 1860
was lis, 1869. She furnished 125, 900 SOL
diers, Of whom 10000 died either in bat-
tie, from wounds, in prison, or in hos
pitfalls The greatest loss by any regi-
ment ON either side in any battle was
by the Twenty-sixth North Carolina at
gettysburg, Colonel Harry Burgwyn
commanding. Tt lost 5SS. In one COM

are some repetitions of names owing
TO the transferring of men from one
arm of the service to the other. They
ought to be all corrected, and the exact
number ascertained. The legislature
should not delay, but have his attend
