Rev Job Turner.

| Bristol News: One of the most in
teresting men in Virginia, if Virgin
la can entirely claim him now, Is Rev
job Turner, the deaf mute Episcopa
minister.
His mute eloquence never fails tc
attract the deaf mutes who always as.
semble whenever he breaches and
drink in the sweet of his ministrations
through their eyes.
His graceful and striking symbols,
his evident inspirations and earnest
ness as depicted by his actions to the
unlnitiated in the sign language, are
very interesting and touches the sym.
pathies of those blessed with all the
senses for those who have them not,
In new light.
MIR. Turner married a deaf mute
couple in Bristol last week. His busy
life is indicated by statement In the
Bristol News. that he then left that
city to engage in pastoral work as far
west as Little Rock, Ark, and down to
Baton Rouge, La. He returns to preach
in New YORK. March 1st.

!: MAGNIFY[NG
) GLASSES

There is nothing so injurious to
the eyes as glasses that greatly mag.
nifty. They are invariably too strong.
1t is not natural for the eyes to see
objects too large or too small. The
object of glasses is to make everything
clear and distinct, but not enlarged.
To place the eyes under perfectly nat
ural conditions and to relieve all over
work and strain. 1t is to this kind of
work that the optieian is especially
trained. He must take a careful
measurement of every curve and mus
Gle of the eye. He must be able to Sc
lect glasses to neutralize and cor.
rect every defect. They must be of
the right focus and the right strength
and must be in correct position before
the eyes. If you ought to have glasses,
or believe you ought, I will be glad to
make an examination aud tell you just
what you need. make no charge for
