KRYPTOK What are Kryptok Bifocals? They are a combination of glass, allowing you to see both near and far with oue solid glass. No removing t*f your reading glast>. to see distant objects: n<> seams, lines of blisters to worry you or attract attention of others to your age. Absolutely invisible while on the face, they have proven a revelation to thousands who have come to us for them. Why are we successful with Kryptoks? Because we are extremely careful in the examination of your eyes, the correct grinding of the glass, and perfect adjustment of frames to each individual face, all of which Is absolutely necessary to Insure comfort and appearance. If you have Kryptoks bought elsewhere and cannot use them, bring them to us and we wi.l find the trouble. Ask our old patients, or any of our patients, what the Wilson Service Is to the public? W. R.

The Waycross Journal Herald vsf Saturday afternoon carried this item of news: "Postal Examiner Jimmie Morgan is today conduct iug an examination at the Central High School for the post mastership at Pearson. There are eight appli cants for the position.’’ It is; understood in Pearson that there were only six applicants, viz: Messrs. Win. Smith, N. E. Harrell, | L. L. Sutton and W. J. Cribb, and ! Mesdames Loduskie Sutton and : Alice Hartley. Mr. Smith is the! present incumbent. Mr. C. F. Davis returned last Saturday from a visit to his old home in Carroll county. He re ports the farmers of Carroll very despondent over their crop pro speets; they have made very good food and forage crops, but they have depended on cotton for a money crop and the boll weevil has practically destroyed the crop. Many of them are offering to sell their farm stock at ridiculously low prices, because they will not be able to feed them. They seem to be in worse shape than our At kinson county farmers, and their condition is bad enough. BIFOCALS Morris-Rozar. A quiet marriage was solemnized Wednesday at tlie home of Mr. and Mrs. J.

ANOTHER LANDMARK PASSED Death of Hon. Monroe Corbett, Aged Ninety-Three. < )ue by one the doughty pioneers who faced the dangers and vicissi tudes of frontier life and won from savagery and wild animals this goodly land for their deeendants, are passing to their reward. So it is in the death of Hon. Monroe Corbitt at the home of his son, Mr. Lamar Corbett, about five miles south west of Kirkland, on last Friday, lie was born in 1828 in Hamilton county, Tennessee, and came to this section of country with his parents when he was a mere boy. The country was in tested with savage Indians and all sort of wild animals. In 1818 he joined a local milita ry company for the purpose of protecting his home, relatives and friends from the attacks of the red man,.who had gone on the warpath and gave the set tiers trouble for several years —really until the creation of Clinch county in 1850. lie was at the battle of Kettle creek near Waycross and Cow creek, near Stockton. In all the skirmishes and battles he was in with the Indians, he came out un scathed. For this service In* was drawing a pension from the United States government of $24 a quarter. In 1801, or about ten years later, he answered the call of his State to defend his country against the aggressions of Northern fanatics and abolitionists. He remained in the Confederate army until its surrender to the overwhelming number of the enemy, lie took part in numerous skirmishes and battles and came out without a scratch. For this service he has been receiving a pension from the State of Georgia. Mr. Corbitt was not an educated man-lie had learned to read and write, and was a man who loved to read and a good patron of the local newspapers—he has been a subscriber for the Tribune ever since it lias been published under the present management. He had no superior in native ability. He was one of a family of nine children —six hoys and three girls. His brothers were Alien, Henry, Calvin, Coloijel and Thomas; his sisters were Mesdames Eliza Hask ins, Nancy Rostwick agd Wealthy Newbcrn. All have passed away except Mrs. Newborn. He intermarried in 1871 with Miss Sonhronia Summerlin and to this union were horn four or more children. His aged wife and three children —Lamar and Preston Cor bitt and Mrs. Jodie L. Corbitt — survive him. He was a man of splendid phys ique, tall (about six feet and five inches) straight and well proper tinned. He was a great fisherman and hunter, especially the latter and (luring liis life had slain many deer and other wild animals. He had known very little sick ness in his long life. About a year ago, old age creeping upon him, he began to show signs of weakening, and about six weeks ago lie was stricken with paralysis, which hastened his death. He had never concerned himself on the subject of religion or his duty to embrace Christianity un til about two weeks before his death. He then united with the Methodist church at Kirkland, and was baptized by immersion, owing to his helpless condition, in a large bathtub, at the hands of Rev. N. T. Pafford, of Mcßae. He departed this life, aged 93, on the 12th day of August, 1921, and the funeral and interment took place at Live Dak Methodist church ami cemetery two days later. 668 cures Dengue Fever. Mr. and Mrs. Ira Murray are bowed down with sorrow over the loss of their baby boy by death. His death was caused by erysipelas which affected the spinal column, and from which fever was develop ed.
