THE MIST HAS ROLLED AWAY.
~ Old MANS VERSION

IT'S too nne thing for me to joke
about. said T d. Taylor. for nearly
thirty five. years n citizen of Rich
mond. but In the language ! see so
much in the newspapers, I've come
back by that ! mean that my per-
feet vision has been brought back. aud
any man we'll along In years knows
what that would mean to him.
Mr. TAYLOR IS a retired gentleman
living At SOC North Twenty fourth
street.
AN the comfort Of my life departed
when my cyesight began to dim" says
Mr.. Taylor. This happened. several
years ago. First there was sort OF
mist about everything looked at any
distance from nae, then came blurring
OF near by objects followed hY head
aches and spots before by eyes when
read for only a little time. In fact.
my eyes Just played out on nae.
ut was very annoying to have
friend pass me on the street and TO
have TO turn around and find out who
il was after he had said Hello. I
was continually taking the wrong car
because couldn't read the signs
quickly enough. All the reading !
could do WAS TO pick out the great big
type, and I'll tell YOU time hung heavy
on my hands.
"Refore I went to see Charles Lin.
coin Smith every pair of glasses | had
pat on seemed 70 be worse than the
last II strained my eyes more TO see
through them than IL did 10 go with
out any AT all A specialist treated
my eyes FOR, over six months Finally
he told me an operation was the only
remedy But now look at nay eyes"
Fhuekled the old gentleman, they're
just as good as they look, since /
have had the new method and these
glasses have been placed upon me. As
the gospel hymn says The mist has
rolled away, My vision has cleared
so that I can read any newspaper with
ease. ana I'm doing SO every day.

my chin bit higher. and as for head
aches or spots in front of my eyes.
We forgotten about them.
I've had q good deal OF experience
in my long life, but | never thought !
would ind aSy man who could so pre-
cisely apply method and skill to my
eyes to bring them back to almost
youthful yigor and utility as Charles
Lincoln Smith has done. Now for the
second time I'm able TO sit down with
an idea Of spending the rest OF my
years, in peace. comfort and happi-
ness, for it rs reel happiness TO have
your eEesIght made perfect. and you
can take an old mans word for that"

my eyes smarted, and splitting head

from infancy, was looking straight at
me. | ask I'd her who had straighten-
ed her eyes, and she said Charles Lin

he didn't use knife and didn't put

That set me to thinking. rea-

he could probably do something for me.

A Great Message.

On Monday night Jan. IS at
the Christian church Prof. l. H.
Boothe, Of the Eastern Kentucky
State Normal School, of Rich
mond, KY, delivered powerful
message to a large and apprecia-
tive audience.
He said the purpose of an Edu-
cation was not to take a person
away from work but to enable
the possesor to do more work and
to do it more effectively. He
spoke of the four great pushing
needs of Kentucky, viz: Good
Roads, Scientific Agriculture, {"
Fruit Growing" and Better
Schools. He said the first three
should be of an intelligent char.
acter and therefore of necessity,
must depend upon the public
school system. He held the un
divided attention of his hearers
for an hour and a half and al
expressed themselves very mucl
delighted with the message.
He spoke of the great work O
the Normal under the efficien
management of its President DR.
j. G. Crabbe.
Such a gospel as this constant
ly presented to our people vii
eventually elevate Kentucky an,
bring her into her own.
Let US all pull together an,
work together for a Create
Kentucky.

Good Roads.

Our time is too valuable to waste
in travelling over bad rords.
Until we have good roads we will
not have better markets.
The cost of good roads is less
than the tax of the bad ones.
Out of the mud hole and on to the
pike should be your slogan.
Fortune lives on an improved
highway, misfortune on a
poor one.
The growth of any community is
dependent upon good roads.
Happiness, contentment and
prosperity don't go with bad
roads.
Even heather countries realize
the value of good highways,
Mud holes are civilization great
est parasites. Abolish them
Unto another generation the ben
efts of good roads will ex
tend.
Do deeds that will live after you
Boost and build roads.

A Delicate Hint.

The editor of the Punta GOrda,
Fla. Herald is unafraid. In the
last number of his paper he comes
out flat footed and tells few of
his neighbors where they get
off at" His little hint is one
that applies to other communities
than Punta Gorda alone. Here
it is:
THE plan upon which this
newspaper is run is such that, on
the first day of any month, we
can suspend publication, refund
all advance Subscriptions and pro-
tect all liabilities. And that is
exactly what we will do whenever
the paper fails to pay expenses.
We are not such simpletons as to

welfare rests upon your ability
, and your own efforts.

terests of the town, might we'll
consider the possibility of a con-
dition arising that would justify
The Herald in retieing from bust
ness or reducing by getting out a

We are gratified to state, how
