shoulders above the entire 365 members. Every incomiug congressman, when asked for his views on the probable work of the session, prefaces his remarks by saying that it all depends upou what Tom Keed wants doue. The picturesque Bailey, of Texas, who is the recoguized leader of the minority, is here with a big black slouch hat and a plentiful supply of the white linen neckties worn on all occasions by the Texan leader. J. Hamilton Lewis, the golden-haired fashion plate, who represents the Populist party of the state of Washington, is on deck with a dazzling array of "loud" clothes, noisy neckwear and a head full of troublesome questions for Speaker Reed to answer. Jerry Simpson, who divides time with Mr. Lewis in trying to worry Tom Reed, will have to hud some other topic than the non-appointmeut of the committees to - ? J discuss, as tue speaaer nameu me committees just prior to the adjournment of the extra session. Private John Allen, the humorist from Mississippi, is.on band with a choice collection of stories?some old and some new?which he will inject iuto the Congressional Record some day wheu the galleries are full. New York's favorite, Sulzer, is prepared to resume business at the old stand, and be will make another effort to free Cuba. In both houses the usual number of floral offerings will be placed on the desks of practically unknown statesmen by admiring female relatives and friends, and the galleries will be crowded with spectators, who will probably wish they bad remained at home instead of coming to the Capitol to hear the president's message unintelligibly read by the clerks.

L., 58(17, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, it has pleased Almighty (Jod, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, in His inscrutable wisdom, to remove suddenly from the scenes and labors of time to the wider scenes and larger labors of eternity, our beloved Brother L. K. Armstrong, therefore be it Resolved? 1st. That we bow meekly to the will of Him who doeth all things well, whose wisdom makes no mistakes, whose love would wound no heart. We recognize His sovereignty over us and His propriety in us, His right to dispose of us in person, property and life according to His will, and we rejoice that infinite love tempers every disposition and dispensation. 2nd. We mourn the loss of Brother Armstrong as a brother beloved, a worthy Mason, a genial gentleman, a friend to the poor and needy, ready to help with open purse and generous hand. 3rd. We tender our loving sympathy to his grief-stricken, bereaved family, and offer our affectionate condolence as sharers with them of a common sorrow which falls like an avalanche upon our hearts. 4th. That a page in our minute book be set apart to the memory of our deceased brother and suitably inscribed with the dates of his birth and death, and that we wear, for .'id days, the usual badge of mourning. 5th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of Hrother Armstrong, and that they be published in the county papers. Kespectfudv submitted. D. S. McAllistek, 1 F. K. Clinton, > Committee. T.

As age creeps on, the eyesight naturally grows dim, because the crystalline lens, through which all light must pass to enter the eye proper, loses its elasticity, and hence cannot adapt itself as readily to objects at varying distances, and, therefore, as things pass continually before it at different distances, its "range of accommodation" having become limited, a part, at least, of the objects are blurred because they are not brought into focus. This is not a disease, but the natural result of old age. Logical Reasoning. The above explanation shows just why old people gradually lose that sharpness .u'.. Thicho. OI Vision Willi;IJ IIIUJ SJlive unu. vv ing the cause, what then would be the remedy? Of course we must put something there to restore the "range of accommodation." How can this be done? By the use of an atificial lense to assist the natural lense, thereby reducing the necessity for such a large "range of accommodation" for the natural lens. How is this assistance to be supplied ? Why, by the use of the famous Hawkes Crystalline Lenses. The spectacles I sell are fitted with these famous lenses; therefore, they make life once more a real pleasure by relieving the great strain on the eye, and incidentally curing the headache which was caused by the imperfect sight. The peddler and ordinary dealer who Has No Knowledge Of the delicate construction of the human eye cannot fit your eye accurately. He is much more liable to do you harm than good ; and thus hasten your already failing sight. Can you trust him with your eyesight ? You would not allow him to attempt to put a drum in your ear, or to clip your tonsils. Then why allow him to experiment with your eyesight? It Does Seem Ridiculous, Don't It? Well! you ask, can you fit me then ? Yes, I ani satisfied that I can kit you perfectly. If I find that I have not the glass in stock that you require, I will tell you so and not sell you any. Without egotism, I will say that I had two years training under the greatest of occulists, Dr. Julian J. Cliisholin, And while I am not an ooculist, I do believe that I am better prepared than any dealer in this section to fit you with spectacles. I havejust put in a new and complete stock of both Spectacles and Eye Glasses, and ask your inspection of it. Clarence M. Kuykendal. H YMENEAL.

YORKVILLE ROLLER MILLS. Pklham Morrow, Manager. J. II. RIDDLE. PAY IT NOW. TO parties indebted to me for GUANO, I will say that it is necessary for them to settle their accounts ON OR BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER, for the reason that I can't grant further indulgence at this time; and it is absolutely essential that debtors govern themselves accordingly, for I have no desire whatever to send a man to see you, and thus starting the neighbors to talking. Let everyone take this matter to himself and give it the attention I am sure it deserves. Cheaper Than Ever Before. My supply of BAGGING AND TIES are now in stock and both are of the very best quality, and I am offering them at prices that will relegate the "second hand" quality to the rear. The fact is that the price at which I am offering the new goods should induce the farmers to dress every bale just like a dude. Come and see us and let us give you prices. WE HAVE $2 KIND TOO. Oh ! yes, we've got the $2 kind too?the everyday variety that we've been selling an me nine; nut we've got something better now, if you've a mind to pay for it, and the difference in quality is much greater than the difference in price. Yes, we've got 100.000 LONOLEAF HEART PINE SHINGLES, which we are offering at the low price of $2.40 per thousand. They are the best shingles ever put on this market. Plastering Hair, Lime, LATHES AND CEMENT can always be found at our store, and contractors or purchasers of large lots can expect close prices. J. H. RIDDLE. CAROLINA BUGGY CO. NO BUCCY ON THE MARKET IS EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUGGY at the price it is sold. It is not only the best buggy built in the southern states; but is also the best finished, in painting and trimming, while its durability is equal to almost any requirement. The painting never allows it to present a shoddy, makeshift appearance at any stage of its existence. While it is made to sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer and represent a value equal to the price for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND STRONG and always built of the very best material to be bad, and in all stages of its construction it is passed through a thorough, severe and critical inspection' by one whose first thought is to nave it built as nearpefection as human skill can accomplish. We make them to order , or keep them in stock, and it will be to your interest to consult us when in need of a vehicle. THE CINCINNATI BUCCY Can always be purchased from us and at almost any price. We can furnish them in any style desired. When you purchase a Cincinnati Buggy you had better first get our price, for the reason that if you don't you might throw money away. We sell them at their true value only. CAROLINA BUGGY CO. G. H. O'LEARY. FURNITURE! FURNITURE! PARLOR, Bedroom, Diningroom and Kitchen Furniture.
