Emporia is one of the busiest and

The Emporia Independent know, h>w
the town became such, and for the
lack of public spirit than any other
kind, it says:
?More towns die for want of confl
dence on the part of business men and 1
benefit of other burgs of the ambitious
cause. When a man In search of a
home or a business local! >n goes into
a town and lind? everything bllaifui
of hope and enthusiasm of the pros
pecta of the place, and all earnestly
M work t-> build it up. he soon be- j
comer imbued with the samo spirt,
and as a result he drives down Make.-,
ar.d goes to work with the um? in
terest. When, however, he goes to a j
town where every one expresses doubt
and apprehen3l?n for 'lie future pros?
perity of the place, moping abi.ut and
Indulging In mournful complaints, he |
naturally fee's that it Is no pin eg foi j

off his feet while he pails out with ai j
possible speed for some other place.
Consequently try ar.d make a Uva, en?

Will You Accept a Million

That Amount of Money Invested In
Bonds Would give Income Almost
Equal to Salary of President of
United States
What man or woman la ?her? who
would not f?-el overjoyed by coining
into possession of a million dollars?
What joy and comfort it would bring,
what pleasures and privileges it would
afford; what influence) it would en?
able the possessor to carry
A million dollars?what a fortune.
The owner of that much money could
buy almost an-, thing the heart w ished
for it would enable one to dress as he
or she would like to dress It would
provide such a home as would be a
1'ara-liae for the most exacting. It
would lo almost anything for human
enjoyment that matei !al things can
do. and when a peraot docs possess a
million dollars there is nothing de?
sired that is not supplied.
While the million dollars would af?
ford all of these pleasures and com?
forts, there are things that even that
mraefc money would sink Into Irislgrtl
ricanre beside?things that would even
outweigh many million; in value to
the numan being For who would ac?
cept a million dollars for their gjro
sight'.' One of the five senses, the
[ Sjaalglll. is the most <it llcate and Mai
; der, and at the aatne time the most
Important One mijrht lose the son so ;
of taste, as tea-tasters, for instance,
do and vet they go on and get aome
rasl pleasure out of living. One might
become deaf and still enjoy life. The
sense of smell might leave a person,
and e\en then not cause any great in?
convenience. The loss of the sense of
toucu would be a calamity, but it
would not altogether darken one'a fu?
ture.
But the eyesight That Is the most
precious privilege of all Millions of
dollars could not buv It A million
dollars would not even tempt one to
part with that sense What would life .
be without the eyesight'.'
Then, if the eyesight is worth more !
than a million dollar*, what are you
doing to care for It? What are \au
doing to preserve tha' great sense?
If you would spend money lavishly
to dress well and look well: to build
? comfortable home and furnish it
comfortably; to get around you the
things that tend to rr..-ke life a happ>

keep vour eyesight good? It is man's

A RICHMOND HOME
BUILDER JUBILANT
scccfss rnow*!) dkcade*s uik*t
of c. W. DA VIM. MEMBER
OR FIRM Ol DAVIS
BROTHLHS.
"Trie home builders* Is the way
Richmond people think of Davis Broth?
ers, of 25If West Main Ptreet. one of
the best known firms of building con?
tractors in Richmond. This concern
has been a great factor in the progress
of Richmond. Its specialty is residen?
tial rtructures In the West End. More
:han 000 new houses have been built
by it. and only last jear eighty-two
new dwellings were added to Rich?
mond through Its operations.
.T. \Af Davis is th? man who looks
after the business en< of the firm,
while C W. Davis, of 2013 Floyd Ave?
nue, superintends the actual construc?
tion work.
Mr. Davis has Just passed through
a most pleasing and unusual experi?
ence, which came as ?. most pleasant
surprise to him and which he Jubilant?
ly relates:
"For ten years I had been constant?
ly troubled with sevise pains across
the forehead and temples, which great?
ly interferred with Sny work and made
my life miserable. I consulted the best
talent available without the slightest
benefit. I was treated hy one special?
ist after another with the same re?
sult. It was just a continuous pro
l aaaioll from one practitioner to an?
other
"My work over my plans and blue?
prints was such a strain on my sight
that I had to give it up every few
hours. It almost drove rr.e to distrac?
tion. I couldn't read much without
paying for it dearly afterward.
"Two years ago I had an attack
which resembled vertigo. I thought
that there was some organic trouble,
and consulted my phy.?ician. After a
thorough examination, he declared
a bilious condition was responsible
for the attack and treated me accord?
ingly. Similar sensations, though not
so severe, continued for several weeks.
When they ceased the old dizziness
and pains remained.
"Then, about six or seven weeks
ago. another severe attack of the same
nature was experienced. I felt my?
self staggering wlldlv. as if some irre?
sistible force was trying to throw me
to the ground. That time I saved my?
self from a bad fall by leaning against
the wall until the spell passed. For
three weeks these ?targering spells
continued. T?ey oftep came upon me
while walking in the street. They
came without warning and everything
seem-'d to swim before rny eyes, and I
reeled like a drunken man. My con?
dition caused me the greatest appre?
hension.
"As soon as the rirst attack of this
period came I went to my physician.
He again diagosed it as a bilious at?
tack and treated me accordingly.
Then when the staegt-ring spells con?
tinued, he suspected that it was my
eyes which were responsible for my
, misery. He advised me to consult a
? specialist.
"Altnottgh I told my physician that
I had not any hope of ever receiving
I any benefit for my eyes. I determined
to make one more attempt I con
; suited Charles Lincoln Smith, whose
remarkable success with others had
come to my attention. The result is
that I have not had a single attack
since he first applied his method and
prescription glasses, and I have no
BOOTS pains or dissiness.
"Kver since my eyes first started to
trouble me. more than ten years ago.
I have been constantly afraid of fall?
ing every time I have ascended a lad
i der on any of the manv houses which
'we have built. My work, as the techni?
cal and practical men.bet of our firm
j make It necessary for me often to
' perform this sort of work. Charles
i Lincoln Smith's method anil prescrip?
tion glasses have made me see so well
ar.d have made me sure of myself.
' that I now run up a ladder with at!
. the igility and confide.,ce | had when
I I was a hoy His glasses seem to suit
my -yes so well that I hardly know I
I have them on.
"Ton see." concluded Mr Davis,
I "Ch tries Lincoln Smltl '? method and
! prescription glasses l.^\e made a new
? man of me. and I o?n t say anything

35 YEARS WITH THE
CHESAPEAKE & OHIO
A POPt'LAR RAILW4.V MAX i:\ll.
TAM.
Thirty-five years of Mr*lea with the
old Richmond and Alleghany Railroad
and the Chesapeake rind Ohio Rialway.
which took over the older property,
make A. I?. Payne, station agent and
telegraph operator at Columbia. Va.,
one of the best known railroad men
in his section of the State
For twenty-four years he has been
I stationed at Columbia, where he is the
oldest C. & O. employe. His charming
' wife, who practically has lived all her
life at Columbia, and who is remem
? bered as an efficient teacher in both
public and private schools in that !o
' cality, states:
I "I suppose I ought to enthuse the
most over the remarkable results ac?
complished in my case but my hus?
band is even more eTultant than I.
"For four years I suffered from the
nervos of my eyes, especially the left.
I despaired of ever obtaining any re?
lief. The pains would start in the left
eye and then go to the right and to
my temples and forehead, and some?
times would extend to the back of my
neck and shoulder blades. At periods
I would be afflicted with intense pain
] for three or four days at a time. This
started four years ago. and though my
husband had me try all sorts of treat?
ment for It. I neve, obtained even
: temporary relief.
M' health began to be undermln
j ed. I would have nausea, when these
pain* came, so that I could not par
' tnke of a mouthful of food. I had to
take to my bed and louldn't hold my
head up.
"I tried everything of which we
heard to gain some benefit, but noth?
ing was of any avail With my house?
hold duties and children, the horror
of my condition was aggravated. I
formerly was a school-teacher, and I
naturally took great interest in the
education of my children Often when
I would try to help them with their
studies the books would seem to wab?
ble In my hand and everything about
me seemed to move. The slightest at?
tempt to use my eyes for sny length
of time always had this effect.
"I never dared to ride on the cars
alone, as the movement of the train
alwavs brought on an attack of nau?
sea.
"M.- husband read in the paper of
Charles Lincoln Smith He now says
that it is the best th'riv, which he ever
read in his life, for th-ough It I have
been rescued from a I.fe of anguish
such as few people eve- experience.
I "I was skeptical wher. mv husband
suggested that I can rn him. but as
we had heard of rumerous results
which seemed little sort of miracu?
lous, which he had arnleved. Mr. Payne
insisted that I consult him. Our
home is sixty miles from Richmond.
To obtain the services of Charles Lln
? in Smith It was necessarv to come to
Richmond fie.juentlv and. of coarse,
a ith the- proapect o* being sadden I >

"Both my eyes were affected at that
1 time, but the chief trouble was with
the left one . I could scarcely read or
sew or do any of the other thousand
1 and one things that a person of normal
eyesight can do.
"The first time I left Charles Lin
; coin Smith's office and walked out up?
on Broad Street with t;ir glasses upon
my nose. It was as if I had entered
a new world. It was like I was in en?
tirely different su-roundings from
what I ever had beer it. before.

; no good whatever. Ho told me that my
case was hopeless. Just as they had
told me years before.
"Then I heard that Charles Lincoln
