EYE DON'TS

Don't buy glasses as you would

an optician.
Don't wear other peoples glasses;
they were probably fitted for

Don't let some cheap fakir tamper
with your eyes; call on a legiti-
mate optician who has an Office

Don't wear blue or colored glasses.
They may seem to give relief,
but are really injurious. The
man that prescribes them should
be able to give more beneficial
results with clear glasses. We

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
conditions, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous sur

The Republican campaign was OF en-:
ed here on Monday, when the voters
assembled in the county building f, I
the purpose of nominating two candi-
dates for the House of Delegates. III G
meeting was called TO order by Mr.. G.
r. Talley and Col. S. Brown Allen
moved that as the time was not propi-
tious for the nomination, that it be
postponed, this was carried and the
meeting listened 10 a talk from Collet :
tor l.. p. Summers of Abingdon. Mr..
Summers paid his respects to the DEM
ocralc party, and Judge Mann, its can
didate, in particular, calling him the
"hypocrite from Nottoway" He ga, e
the negroes blow, when he said the
/ Republican party was white mans
party, and would be so run.
Mr.. Summers dealt at large on the
fact of counties being insulted by hav-
ing school superintendent from other
counties put over them. He approved
of the old public school instead of the
high school presided over by university
men. He approved offree school books
and appealed to his hearers to "break
off from tyranny and stand for self.
government
He abused Mann and especially the
Malone episode. He said 81 per cent
OF the white men have no voice in the
government.
He said he was glad from the depths
of his heart that the Confederate wal
terminated as it did.

be filled.
! Believing further that this is most
important period in the history of Vir-

which demands of each voter a special
duty of correctly informing himself as

in behalf of such advancement, which
should receive his support regardless
of POLITICAL PREJUDICES AND PAR
TY AFFILIATIONS.
therefore, by request of many citi-

myself an independent Candidate for
the House of Delegates, subject to your
choice only on the day of election,
among other candidates asking your
trust and confidence in the discharge
of such duties as may devolve upon
each member of that honorable body
at its next session in dealing with
questions of vital Importance now be-

AUGUSTA LADY DIES IN CHINA
MISS ELEANOR MARIE HILL, w H
WENT WITH HER SISTER TO THE
FLOWERY KINGDOM DIES

| THERE.
Private cable advices make known
the sudden death at Newchwang, North
China, of Miss Eleanor Marie Hill,
aged % years, youngest daughter of the
late John L. Hill, of Middlebrook, this
county.
Miss Hill had been visiting the fami-
lies of her two brothers-in-law who are
managers of English and Canadian in
surance companies for India and China
respectively. Details as to the cause
and circumstances of her death are
meager and uncertain.
The deceased is survived by her moth
er, now a resident of Summerdean, on
the Middlebrook postal route, and these
sisters and brothers: Mrs. B. H. Belts,
Newchwang, China; Mrs. w. A. White,
Singapore, India, and J. f. Hill, a
Chicago newspaper man. Prof. Charles
E. Hill, long connected with the pub
lie schools of Baltimore, Nd, and yet
a resident of that city, is an uncle.
There are other relatives in many States
of the Union, as well as in France and
various countries of Europe and the
Old World.
The family is originally Virginian,
John l.. Hill, Confederate veteran,
having been an officer in the Fourteenth
Virginia Cavalry, went to Maryland
after the war, and was for years a we'll
known educator of that State. A dozen
years ago the family returned to it's ma
tive Augusta county, the head of the
household dying only last spring, as
told at the time by Tie SPECTATOR.
The daughter, who has now joined
her father, was generally beloved. She
was known for beauty of character,
superiority of mind, sweetness of dis
position and physical attractiveness.
With every social grace, yet she cared
most for the wholesome, serious things
of life. The humble and lowly found
in her friend and loved her no less
than did those of more fortunate estate.

hARRISONBURG WET.

Harrisonburg went Wet by IS ma
jority on Tuesday last. There is no
town in all this country which so well
manages its owns affairs ss Harrison
burg, nor one which so much resents
the interference of outsiders. Harri-
sonburg has the Iightest taxation of all
the Valley towns. She has fine wa
ter supply, and an elegant and cheap
electric lighting plant. Her prosperi-
ty is universally known and her infiu-
ence felt. Harrisonburg has tried pro-
hibition. 1t didn't work, so she pre-
fers whiskey sold under the law, in.
stead of in violation Of it, the only
thing a thickly settled community can
do sensibly.
Staunton would have adopted the
same wise course if some leading Vir-
ginia politicians had kept their mouths
out of our affairs, and few of our peo-
pie who know that license is the prop
er way to handle this qcestion, had not
been sore, and allowed their feeling of
revenge to get the upper hand of their
judgment. Stanton ought to have as
much brains and good sense as Harri-
sonburg, but on one occasion it refused
to exercise those attributes.

A FEW FACTS.

Is there to be political downfall in
Virginia, or shaking up of dry bones?
This is the question we hear on all
sides. Who can answer it?
The time may not be quite ripe for
it. The people may be able to endure
a little more of the kind that has been
served up to them, but they are sharp
ening their knives. Ever since that
outrage against decency was inaugu-
rated, few years ago, of making an
office for political pet, known as In
surance Commissioner, an office about
as much needed in Virginia as billy
goat needs an umbrella, the results of
which, except as to its influence in de
pleting the State treasury, have been
undiscovered, was an eye opener to
Virginians. It would be source of
unending pleasure to many of them to
stop that drain on the treasury and
wipe out of existence that sine-cure.
Then came the last session with its
criminal extravaganza, when no less
than one million dollars of public
funds were frittered away. Now we
have served up to us as gubernatorial
candidate dish some good Democrats
call buzzard. 1t certainly has malo-
dorous aroma. 1t is a spot pouri" of
distasteful, indigestable scraps mixed
r. &c. +, I'd n
swallow, and did there not appear be
low the head of the ticket some re-
deeming names, it is doubtful whether
the ticket could be swallowed at all by
many good Democrats.
There is none of that feeling existing
today which prevents sensible, think
ing men from asking questions. AL
stitches have been taken out of many
mouths. There is universally none
of that blind partisanism which
assumes that what few leaders
do is necessarily right. There
has been a bowling and kowtow
ing to the powers that be in Virgins
so long, that the danger line has beer
reached, and those who undertake t.
put it over the voters of this common
wealth now, must do so for some othe
reason than because they have TIT
heelers to do their bidding, the machi
merry to do their work. 1t is our opinion
and in this we cordially endorse tn
sentiment of the Richmond News
Leader that as yet Democratic rule il
to be preferred to Republican rule il
Virginia. But many of those whit
preach Democratic rule in Virgin;
now, have preached and practiced Re
publican rule in the Nation for mum
Der of years. What is sauce for tn
goose is sauce for the gander, and thei
practice and teaching have well nigl
taught the people of many section
that they cannot be much worse hur
than they are, mo matter what happens
Those leaders preferred Mr.. TAFT to Mr.
Bryan. Possibly they can be cure(
with their own medicine.
