SURVIVORS OF CO. F JIN ANNUAL REUNION .Kocky Springs Place of Pino Moot lug. Addresses Delivered.- -Memorials Are Adopted. The survivors of Co. P, 3rd reg iment, South Carolina volunteers held their annual re-union at Kooky .'Springs church on Thursday of last week, there being present something over twenty of the obi veterans and an unusually largo crowd of peo ple in attendance. The day was fine, and the crowd most congenial; an excellent picnic dinner w;is served on the grounds at the conclusion of the exercises. Mr. J. O. Templeton presided over the meeting, Introducing the speakers and calling the company's roll. In terspersing the speeches were a num ber of musical selections, bountifully rendered by a choir of young people, with Mrs. Ft. 15. Hell at the organ, assisted by Mr. T. 13. Childless und his Miiis with their stringed instru ments. After the roll call of the veterans, Mr. Templeton introduced Mr. S. 15. Honey, editor of The Ad vertiser, who was the first speaker. Mr. Honeys address was from the standpoint of a member of the present generation, in which he showed the effect today of the confederate soldier's manhood, self-reliance and Individuality, not only in the war hut in the days of struggle after the war. He showed thai in the war and after., was developed such a type of man- j hood, such a spirit of self-reliance as to lay the foundation of the present day prosperity and hopes for the future. Following Mr. Honey, came Rev. .1. D. Croul of i.aureus who declared that he had had no time to prepare a set speech, hut thanked the people for their Invitation assuring them of his appreciation. The burden of Mr. Crout's spoocli was the coming vindi cation of the principles for which the confederacy stood, lie shying that In dications now point lo a general ac ceptation of the righteousness of the contention, and that we should soon no longer hear the expression, "(he lost cause." State Senator .1 no. II. \Vifarton de livered a most ex? ellenl address, holding tlx' attention of the people throughout and winning hearty ap plause, especially When he referred to i the women of Hie confederacy ami commended the building of a monu- i nient to their memory. Col. Wbarton added spice to his address by a UU1U- , her of well-put anecdotes, which the people applauded. His tribute to the confederate soldier, the bravest, most ? courageous and faithful thai ever shouldered arms, was powerful in its beauty and truth.. Col. Wbarton -poke for a half hour, ami there was not a dull phase in his speech. At the conclusion of the speeches a tribute to the three comrades of the company who have passed away dur ing the past year was rend by Mr. Templeton. ("apt .1. 1'. Sloan who was in command of the company was present and on (he platform during the exerciser.. The day at Kocky Springs was most pleasantly spent, the hospital ity of the people being unbounded and no efforts lacking to make every body have an enjoyable time.

Talk Myopia of the Hye MyO| ia means near sight. When an eye is myopic or near sighted the object looked at does not focus on the nerve, the focus is in front of the nerve, the eyeball, therefore is too long. Now, as we cannot change the shape of the eyeba'l, we put in front of it a concave lens. This kind of a glass has the property of putting the focus hack to the nerve. Myopic persons hold reading close to the eyes, objects at a distance being dim. Vision is certainly the most important of the senses, therefore a word to the wise should suffice.
