I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. Thursday. ArorsT iv*. T1 BALLARD The latest and host of all reading and walking or combination glasses made at any price. As invisible as any double vision lens sold. Costs less than any other so-called invisible bifocal. Less cement surface to fog or blurr. Made thinner, lighter and neater than any other bi focal for sale. They are being sold all over the United States under various names. They are not patented, consequently you pay no royalty on them. We have every BtfOeal made. Let us demonstrate them to you; if you are annoyed by the use of two pairs of glasses or have Bifocals now which are not satisfactory to you, consult us. B. WALTER BALLARD, Wbo, less than ope year ago, introduced the Ballard Bi focal, which has gained a reputation for this firm that few Optical houses have attained in a lifetime. It is not this lens alone that has given us the lead, but the service we offer is seldom found elsewhere. Not how cheap but how well we can serve you at all times. BIFOCAL Ground on a deep Toric curve, giving the larg est visual field of any glass made. Prevents eye lashes from touch- 1 ing the glass, excludes • the light from the outer corners and gives real coiAfort to every wearer. The leading Oculists and largest manufacturers have pronounced the Toric lens the most perfect and comfortable glass for the eyes, when properly ground, but 'it is absolutely necessary that they should be ground and not cast or molded. Our facilities for grinding Oculists’ prescriptions and frame adjusting are not equaled in the entire South. Every man an expert in his special department. We carry every patent nose glass made in our stock —no waiting for us to order them.

The familiar campaign poster, bear ing the face of the political candidate, may be a scarce article in the coming campaign, owing to the spreading of the lithographers' strike. Miss K. Mai Davison, of Dong Pine, Nebr., is the Democratic nominee for county attorney in her county. She la probably the first woman to be named for this office In the United 8tates. Secretary Shaw, after touring the state. Is of the opinion that Missouri !h likely to be the hottest battleground of all this year’s political campaigns. The Democratic plan to bring In Mr. Bryan and other national leaders to defeat the efforts the Republicans are making to carry the state. The Sixteenth congressional district of Texas, which has Just renominated Judge William Robert Smith, is the largest In area in the United States. It is 600 miles long hy 400 miles wide. It Includes fifty-seven counties nnd is larger than the entire New England states. Special to The Georgian. Anniston, .Ala., ‘Aug.. 23.—Lieutenant Governor R. M. Cunningham, candidate for governor of Alabama, spoke here yesterday evening before the largest crowd yet assembled to hear any of the candidates of this campaign. He had spoken at Jacksonville before an equal ly large crowd. He advocated rate re form and stated that he stood for bet ter school houses and facilities; as op posed to the working of children of a tender age in the cotton mills through out the state. The election in Maine next month Is expected to give the first line on the probable results of the congressional elections throughout the country In November. Oregon, which holds Its election In June, sometimes tells the story, but this year the election In that state gave no Indication of how the wind blows. But it Is believed that tbe result of the contests In Maine will foreshadow the general result. If the four congressmen from Maine are re elected by normal majorities. Chairman Sherman will venture to declare with confidence that the rest of the country is safely anchored to Its Republican moorings. Rut If the majorities of the four Maine congressmen should be cut down, or If one at least of them should be defeated. Democratic campaign stock surely will go up with a rush.
