BY THE PASTOR.
We closed our first year’s pasto
rate here oil last Sunday, and in
looking back over I tie work ot the
year we have much to encourage
us and much for which our hearts
should be grateful.
Under iue pleaching of the
pastor ninety—five souls have been
added unto us; during the recent
revival we had eighty-six, making
a total of one hundred and eighty,
one during the ) eur.
Since the first day of January
of the present year we have giveu
to iforeigu Missions $i;0.J.0O; to
Home Missions, $845 75; to Snr.e
MibSious, $44 50, und to other be
nevolences a neat tittle sum besides
Duriug the year more than two
thousand dollars was spent m im
provements, repairs and incident
als, ail of which was paid and a
handsome balance lett in the
treasury.
We Lauded our Evangelists,
King aud Wolslagel a check for
$3UU.OO for their work with us,
aud besides this, paid all the inci
dentals of the meeting.
We have a cummittee now pre
paring to install a splendid heat
ing apparatus for next Winter,
aud every interest fostered by our
church is being cared for. One
year ago we had 127 in Sunday
School; for the past four outida^s
we have had more than two hun
dred, and ou one of these days we
had 245 present.
We have baptized considerably
more than a hundred souls and
have others waiting for next Suu
day evening.
Our Philatheas will entertain
Friday evening, the 8th, in the
Sunday School auditorium, aud a
grand time is anticipated by all.
Our Young Women’s Auxdiary
will send the Pastor to the Con
vention in Nashville, Term., which
convenes ou the 13th.
On Sunday, the 17th, the Pastor
will preach the Commencement
sermon for the High School and
his/subject will be: “Working to
Win.” According to the usual
custom, all the city will take part
in this servioe, and it will be held
this year in the l3aptist church.
We hope that all the people who S
sing in the different choirs will
unite with us to make the song
service the very best possible.

sonal Worker’s Course” every
Tuesday afternoon at four o’clock
under the auspices of the Young

Don’t neglect your eyes. If you are nervous, irritable, and reading < r
close work causes pain in your eyes or temples and you suffer from head
ache, your eyes are weak. Properly fitted spectacles will save them and
save you much suffering. Common, cheap spectacles should not be used
under any circumstances. They distort ihe rays of light and do an injury
instead of good. Many people are blind because they neglect to have
their eyes properly fitted in time. Many children are regarded as dull in
school, when the trouble is their eyes.
Aave l(cur Children s eyes examined
and fitted if necessary, by a competent optician. Intelligent people wear
glasses. We straighten cross eyes in children, with glasses; in fact, any
defect in the sight, such as hypermetropia, presbyopia, myopia, astigmatism
asthenopia, strabismus, amblyopia, and all errors of refraction. We use
the Crystalline Lease only; nothing better made. We are prepared with
the latest instruments for testing the eyes, finding the real troubleand
correcting the same. W7e fit any style of frames. All work guaranteed.
