HAVE 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

The examination to secure cenj
sus enumerators for Atkinson
county took place Saturday, con
ducted by Postmaster William
Smith. It was a very tame affair,
only one person from each of the
three districts appeared and took
the examination which was held
at the school auditorium. These
three persons were Mrs. Geo. F.
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.
