Buggie and harness $49.00, but
orders without the cash will
likely go back on you, for.it is
the no-risk .cash business that
makes him able to down every

A Bear Hunt.
Editor Headlight:—Perhaps
if you will give space in
your columns, 1 may interet
some of your readers. A
few days ago, near Sweat’s mill
pond, Mr. John C. Highsmith
was riding along the road, and
saw a very large bear cross just
in front of him. He wont at
once for help aud in a short
while Messrs W. E. (the great
bear hunter) N. J. Smith, Jes-
sie R. Booth, and Ivey Davia
were at the place where
Mr. II. first saw the bear, a dis
tance of five miles from the
Okefenoke swamp. They had
a lot of fine dogs and away they
went for the swamp. It
was night, aud about one mile
away in the swamp when the
dogs treed their game, but the
hunters took a light and soon
came np with the dogs and
bear, aud at once the old “cuff”
began to come down. They
fired several shots at him and
he fell, but not dead, when Mr-
N. J. Sweat fired and shot him
through the heart killing him

The organ of sight, which is the
source of so much pleasure as
well us benefit to man, is very del
icate. A great many persons, not
appreciating this, arc using cheap

perfect glasses in the world, being
especially adapted for the preser
vation and sometimes restoration
of the sight.
