OPTOMETRY.

Having realized that Optometry
is a profession of itself which re-

not be worked in connection with
any other business as side line, 7
have opened an exclusive optical bus
mess, equipping my office with the
latest instruments for the refraction
of the eyes. AS regards my ability
to properly fit glasses, will say that
I am a graduate of the chartered
School of Optometry, which teaches
nothing but the Science of Optom-
etry." I also have the best text
books obtainable. With the past
three years actively engaged in this
business and the greater part of nine
years in the fitting of glasses, places
me in a position to offer my services
to the public as qualified to do any
kind of work pertaining to this pro-
fession.

NOTED MOUNTAIN ORATOR AND
POLITICIAN DEAD.

Hon. Fountain Fox Bobbitt, the
"Cicero of the Mountains" lawyer,
orator, scholar and legislator, died at
the age of seventy-nine at the East
ern Kentucky Hospital in Lexington,
Friday night, but the fact was not
known locally until Monday night.
Mr.. Bobbitt represented Lincoln
county i'm the Legislature, was once
a candidate for Congress from the old
Eighth District, and was in great
demand as public speaker at every
celebration or political gathering in
this section of the State. He prac-
ticed in all the courts of this section,
and because of his flowry oratory,
was known as the Cicero of the
Mountains" Some time ago his mind
began to weaken, and he was sent 20
the Eastern Kentucky Hospital, at
Lexington, where he remained until
the end. He had no near living rel
atives, and the body was sent to his
former home in Crab Orchard for
burial.

"REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK
FARM" MONDAY. NOV. IL.

In direct contrast to her more re-
cent Characterization of powerful
dramatic qualities, Mary Pickford's
next screen portrayal is none other
than that of the popular little figure
in American literature, "Rebecca OF
SunnybroOk Farm" During the past
year Our Mary has received count
less requests for her appearance in
this famous subject and her picturi-
! cation of quaint little Rebecca is in
direct compliance with popular de-
mand.
Mary Pickford's presentation Of
THE Poor Little Rich Girl will live
long in the hearts of American pict-
ure patrons. In this child part the
sweet little actress scored one of her
very greatest successes and her
adaptabilities to such portrayal were
generally conceded to be her most
notable accomplishments. However,
even greater than 1.-THE Poor Little
Rich Girl" is "Rebecca," who has
become favOrite national character;
in fact, a national type established
not only in this, but in other coun-
tries as well. Replete with native
wit of the rural districts and the
wholesome charm of untrammeled
American girlhood, this story offers
Mary Pickford a character that it is
generally felt, will prove the crown
ing achievement of her wonderful
career.
