YOUR EYES AND K. OF P. GRAND
LODGE.
Poor eyesight robs life of some of
its chief joys. Some times the sight
is good, but the strain from seeing
makes the headache, gives nausea
and dizziness, these miseries are also
"joy killers." It is possible to re
ceive these organizations. Did you
ever consult an optical expert of your
own good Negro race, in his own
office ,in your own Pythian Tmple.
where none of the patients could in
sult you and the optometrist didn't
have to rush you out, and maybe
slight his work lest some patient get
offended? Well, you'll have the op
portunity at the Grand Lodge meet
ing in Dallas. -
A Colored optometrist, an expert,

of the best white schools in the

BLACK GIANTS RAINED OUT Iff

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BEAU
MONT LICKS FT. WORTH WON
DERS IN FIRST GAME AND
KtlNED OUT SECOND.
The jinx followed Dallas Black
Gian'a to the Southern loop and
rained them out both Sunday and
Monday. The Giants were unable
to demonstrate their strength, against
the 3.919, Buff Machine and local
fans of Houston were eager to see
the initiated fracas of the foreign
emergency.
Hovever, the visitors left Thurs
day for Galveston, where two bouts
with the Islanders will be staged
and will return to Houston, Satur
day and will take on the Black Buffs
tomorrow and Monday, June 1st and
2nd. . .
Beaumont Oilers bested the Ft
Worth Wonders in their first home
game of the Beason. The game was
featureless and the Wonders were
easy pickings for the Oilers and
smashes the visitors defence for an
8 to 1 count in their favor.
NEXT ATTRACTION.
Dallas Black Giants will hook up
in a duett of games with the San
Antonio Black' Bronchoes here Sun
day and Monday, June 8th and 9th.
The appearance here of the Braves
on dates mentioned above will be
the flrat since Charlie Bellinger with
one of the scrappiest Machines that
ever invaded local haunts and like
a ferocious wind swept everything
within its wake. Bellinger's Broncs
were a terror to all Texas clubs
during this period and with the dis
banding of this great combination
an impression that will live as long
as the old game was mado upon the
heart of farm In Texas. The Bron
choes are a historical set and and
if the 1919 Bronchoes keep up the
standard of the Alamo City, there
coming should mean ruff sledging
for the Giants.
DIAMOND TATTLING.

MRS. J. L. TURNER IS VICTIM
OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT
HER HOME.
Mrs. Annie Mae Turner, one of
j Dallas' most highly and respected
' young women was accidently shot
I Thursday morning a few minutes
past 2:30 by her husband. Attorney
iJ. L. Turner at their home 1821 Al
len' street
The shooting was merely accident
al. Mrs. Turner has been sick more
than two weeks, during the period
of illness, she has been occupying
a separate room from her husband.
Mrs. Turner, arose early Thursday
morning and had been out on the back
porch, it is presumed and in doing
this she endeavored to avoid noise
which would disturb the slumber
of her husband, who had been unceas
ingly working day and night for her
recovery, however as quietly as 'she
crept, a little noise was made and
awakening from a frenzied state of
somnolence, Mr. Turner grasped his
revolver and fired at the Innocent
form of his wife through the win
dow of the room In which he slept,
mistaking her for a burglar. The
contents of the death spitting device
hit Its mark and Mrs. Turner went
crashing to the floor saying "Law
yer Turner you have shot me."
In coming Into Jiis own and dis
covering his dreadful mistake, Law
yer Turner called for help and col
lapsed; Dv. G. W. White, at 1817
Allen, next door hearing the noise
of the gun and the cries of Mr. Tur
ner rushed over and found Mrs, Tur
ner seriously wounded. He sum
moned Dr. McMillian, Hamilton, An
derson, Penn and Dr. Samuel la, upon
the physicians' diagnosis it was found
that the bullet had entered the right
j side passing through punctuing the
upper portion oi uie uver uu rang
ing downward.
The shock was so sevtrev it is
presumed that paralysis has set up
on the left limb.
Only one shot was fired by Mr.
Turner. At this writing, Mrs. Tur
ner's condition is very, favorable and
great hopes are entertained for her
reoorery by attending physicians.
