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.

CANDIDATE 8PEAK8
TO LARGE AUDIENCE.
POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS.
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.
