Newspaper Page TextHAVE YOUR EYES CHANGED There is a slow but con- I stant change in every per- Bf son's vision. Glasses that M fitted you perfectly a few Ip years ago are probably en- || tirely unsuited to the needs of your eyes to-day. Every person who wears ■ glasses should have their * eyes examined at least every If two years. ||l Call and see us and let II .us find out whether you’re II wearing the proper lenses. || If a change of lenses is nec essary, we will furnish them # promptly and reasonably. * ■ We guarantee a correct fitting and absolute satis- II faction in every case. £1 W.R.

McCranie, Sr., for the V\ illacoo chee district; Mr. Audrey Wall for the Axson district and Mr. M. A. Pafford for the Pearson district. PEARSON TRIBUNE. PEARSON Cffgf anft County Fresh Tennessee mules just ar rived. Adams, Sutton & Co. Mr. W. I. Hinson, of Argyle, was the guest of his sister, Mrs. H. P. Smith, last Sunday. Mr. A. R. Harrelson has moved his Shoe shop to the Allen build ing on King street. Mr. James L. Harrell and family motored up from Colon and spent Sunday with his parents and other relatives There has been preaching ser vice at the home of Mr. N. A. Cox for several evenings this week, by a Holiness preacher. Dr. Jfeff Pafford has been in the city this week visiting his parents. Don’t know where he is located since he returned from military service. We will pay you cash for your corn and hay. Adams, Sutton & Co. Mr. A. Cohen has moved with his family into the House Bunga low, facing the railroad below the depot, now owned by Dr. Joe Cor bitt. lie needed a larger residence than the one he was occupying. Mrs, Ella Fair Drawdy has bought a nice cottage home in Pearson and moved here to send her little gil lto school. The cot tage is located at the northwest corner of Bullard and Church streets. All the teacher of Pearson High School returned from their week’s vacation Sunday, and the school opened Monday morning with re newed vigor. Think both teachers and pupils enjoyed their short re spite very much. The Tribune is glad to learn that Mr. John 11. Haskins, whose serious illness was reported, is gradually improving and, without a relapse, will soon be entirely re covered. He lives in the south west section of the county. The county commissioners has post|Mined the Bond election until next spring. The Tribune is not informed why this was done, but suppose it was on account of being premature, anti satisfied it was done for the best of all concerned. The Tribune is informed that Elder G. Tom West and family will move back to Willacoochee. Mr. J. 11. Webster and family will occupy the home they vacate, and Mr. Ivey McNeal and family will occupy the home vacated by Mr. Webster. There has been considerable moving about in Pearson during the past week. Mr. McCoy Belch has moved twice within the past month; Mr. J. C. McMillan has moved to the Tillman home vacat ed by Mr. A. R. Harrelson, who moved to the dwelling owned by Mrs. Jordan. There is a city ordinance that requires the owners of hogs, cattle, sheep, goats and like animals and poultry, dying witbinthe city lim its, to bury or otherwise dispose of the carcass, so that the citizens of city will not be disturbed by offensive odours. The city autori ties should see that this ordinance is enforced. Mr. George W. James, whose serious illness was reported last week, has been carried to a sani tarium in Alabama to be treated for Pellagra. His malady has de veloped into that dread disease. The Tribune hopes he will soon be fully restored to health, and sym pathizes deeply with his family in their sorrow. The Times urges the city authori ties of Willacoochee to put a ban on all sorts of carnivals and catch penny shows. The suggestion is a good one and the Tribune heartily endorses it. Thejj spread im morality and disease in their wake, and there is nothing edifying, or upbuilding in them. It is degrad ing to all who patronize them. Our esteemed friend and sub scriber, Mr. Archie Hodges, has complimented the Tribune with specimens ol his sugar cane crop — one stalk of green and one of red. They were finer specimens than that of Mr. Harrell, and that gen tleman will have to come again. The editor is quite sure he has never seen finer specimens than those Mr. Hodges brought to this office Monday. Hon. Jeff Kirkland, Chairman of the Board of County Commis sioners, went up to Atlanta Tues day night for the purpose of secur ing jAtkinson county’s quota of State convicts. He was accom panied by Mr. R. H. Dickerson, who will be the county convict warden. They will procure all the necessary adjuncts to organizing a convict gang for Atkinson county. , GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 Notice to Home Guards. Capt. O. B. Tally, of llomerville, was in the city Tuesday, and call ed to see the editor. He has been unable to deliver all of the certifi cates of honorable discharge to the enlisted men of the Pearson Home Guard.

You are also requested to enclose a $1 contribu tion to finish paying up the debts of (he Company. Any one hav ing claims against the company are requested to render a state ment of such claim to him. Organizing Chain Gang. Mr. Jeff Kirkland, of Nicholls. was in the city Monday and cor dially greeted by many friends, lie has the distinction of seeing his own obituary in print. It was thus: lie went with the Ameri can Expeditionary Forces to France, and while he was there it was re ported he was dead, and the home papers, including the Tribune, printed the news of his supposed death with appropriate remarks. Jeff is glad to get back and is en joying himself sure enough. [Special Notice.
