Spectacles

Most eye troubles are easily help
ed. And yet many folks hesitate
to wear glasses for looks sake.
They suffer headaches from eye
strain; they draw wrinkles into
their foreheads years before they
should come; they lose the happy
expression on the face that perfect
vision gives.
0: course it is necessary to have
glasses perfectly fitted;
Our opticians have the most ex-
pert skill; they have the facilities
for discovering the needs of eyes.
If they find that you need an ocu-
lists help they will tell you so. If
glasses only are required, we guar
antee to provide you with the most
perfect help obtainable at the most
reasonable costs.

Recollections of
The Civil War
(By Jehu Traner)

(By Jehu Traner)
After General Johnson fell back
from Allegheny Mountain to Fair
view in Augusta county, Va, near
Staunton, the Federal General.
Milroy, followed his trail and
camped at Monterey in Highland
county. He patroled the roads
with his scouts across the noun
tains within ten miles of Jobnson's
camps. y General johnson ordered
scout to find the rear of Milroy's
army. His scouts were Captain
Harden of Randolph county, and
Dock Laing of Barbour county.
A guide was procured and called
for volunteers. There were four
teen volunteers from the 25th and
31st Virginia Regiments. Haver-
sacks were filled forty rounds to
the man. On the fourth of May
we took up the march for the rear
of Monterey. After marching all
day we struck the Bull Pasture
river late in the evening. We
halted the scouts as their guide in
regard to crossing Jack Mt. He
could not tell and I volunteered
my services at once to pilot them
anywhere that they wanted to go.
We marched four miles north of
Mcdowell and when dark over
took us we were close to a house
known as the Botkin house. l
told the scouts that | knew Bot
kin and would 90 to the house and
see if we could camp with them
Botkin was away from home but
Mrs. Botkin said she was glad we
had come, that the Yanks wasn't
TWO miles from the house but the
Bath Cavalry was between here
and the enemy. By moving some
plumber out of the rooms she made
room for US and we soon laid
down to rest for the night with
orders for every man to lay by his
gun.
We were awakened just before
day by the firing of guns and the
laundering of horses feet doWn
Crab Run. In less than FIVE min
utes we were in line in front of the
house. The Bath Cavalry was in
full retreat, we could see. the flash
of the enemy's guns, one dashed
in front of the house and halted |
1t was too dark to tell whether hc
was friend or foe. The Captain
said, "T'll let you know and
fired on him. The horse wheeled
at the crack of the gun and he was
soon with his comrades above, for
he was mortally wounded and, died
that day. We stood our ground
until it was light enough to see.
We saw a troop of infantry coming
down the pike and we divided our
squad and ran across the road and
took shelter behind a cliff of rocks
and waited until they came within |
gun shot. Then we opened fire on
them. They retured fire but they |
were only shooting at the smoke
from our guns. They left the road
and took shelter behind a rail
fence.
We soon took up our march |
across Jack Mountain had been
on that path once before, down
the west side to the settlement
where the Monterey and Jackson
River roads forked. We crossed
Jacksons River along the side of
the McNulty mountains. Near the
gap we met up with a battalion OF
Infantry from Huntersyille on their
way to,join the Yanks at Monterey
We let them pass and then we
id the road and struck the
nsy mountains. We were

THE TRAGEDY OF WAR SHOWN

Griffith, the worlds master producer,
has painted the grim tragedy of war
in the livid colors 1t reserves. .Ea,. |
1t is q thrilling and awe-inspiring
revisitation of war--war in all its cru
elites: we behold not only the tragedy
on the field of battle, where fall the
dead and dying, but in the home where
wait the aged parents and little brother
and sister or daughter or son, for tho
message that too often comes telling
that the dear one has died for the nag
tho stars and stripes, or the banner
Of blue with the single star. 49,. 4,
On goes the story. 1t pictures the
departing of the boy from home-gay,
light hearted, happy. 1t shows him
dying under the fire of the enemy In
the miles of flame streaked trenches.
over which bursting shells carry death
to the little force so calamity defend
ing the line Of earth works and over
which shrek the deadly sharpnel. It
is all there--the desperate defense, the
determined assault, the fierce charge.
the disastrous retreat--the field covered
with the dead, as men in gray and
blue fall by scores and hundreds. Day
light fades, and still the fight goes on.
the scene Is illuminated by bursting
shells, the blaze from the mouths OF big
guns and the red glare from burning
homes. The blue Of the flag of the
south fiutters here, while there the red,
white end blue of the nations emblem
shows thru the smoke in the red tinge
Of battle flame.
These are but few Of the myriads
of chickering's of our national travail in
its new birth that are shown in this
sublime, grand. impressive spectacle.
