For Style.
Don,t imagine glasses can be worn for style. A glass which possesses a focus when it does not correct a defect, invariably causes one. Another popular terror is that a person should put off wearing glasses as long as possible. It doesn't matter what yonr age is, if you feel that your eyes are not giving you the proper service, have them attended to at once by a competent optician. Competency is our specialty.

THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
GRAND SUCCESS, ARTISTICALLY, FINANCIALLY AND SOCIALLY.
Greenfield's First Music Festival Far Surpasses Expectations and Was the Leading Event of the Kind Ever in the City.
The first May Music Festival ever given in Greenfield was held at the new Christian church Thursday night. It was an over-whelming success as it surpassed in excelence and attendance, the anticipations of all. The Festival was originated, prepared and directed by Prof. J. E. Mack, who has charge of the music in the public schools of our city and also is director of Mack's orchestra, the finest organization of the kind ever here.
The program consisted of solos, choruses and orchestral pieces, and all were of surpassing excellence. It was as follows:
PART FIRST.
Reading of Paper "Music and its Effects' Mr. J. E. Mack. "Fairyland Waltz" Veazie
Chorus and Orchestra.
A Funeculi-Funeculi (song) Denza
Mr. Edward Nell.
'War March of the Priests from Athelia" Mendelssohn Orchestra. •Sogno D'Amor" (song) Gregh
Miss Girtrude LaFevre.

Mr. J. E. Mack.
The Steersman
Frank M. Els con.
A Allah Chadwick 11 Cannot Help Loving Thee Johns Mr. Edward Nell. "The Red Scarf," Veazie
Chorus and Orchestra.
'Only a Woman's Heart." (Song.) Graham Miss Gertrude LeFerre. The Directorate March Sousa
Orchestra.
Miss Pearl Randall and Mrs. J, E. Mack, Accompanists.
We have heard nothing but praise for the entire entertainment as it, was simply grand in a musical way and shows what Greenfield can do when she attempts anything in this line. Mr. Mack's paper on "Music and its Effects," was a fine thing as it caused a more 'thorough appreciation of music as an art and impressed all with the pleasure and benefits to be derived from its cultivation. The first piece, "The Fairland Waltz," by Veazea, chorus and orchestra, completely captivated the audience and each number following was equally pleasing. When all did so well it would be unfair to make special commendation, but it

each one delighted their hearers. Mr. Ed Nell, of Indianapolis, the famous baritone, delighted the people with his elegant selections and fine voice. Mr. Nell is making a reputation all over the State. He congratulated the chorus of Greenfield, saying it was the best drilled chorus he ever heard for a city of this size.
Mr. Elston proved himself in line with the best of baritone soloists. His numuers were highly prized by the people. His voice shows careful training and placing of tone. Both Mr. Elston and Nell spoke very highly of our city and people.
Miss LeFever sang very sweetly. Her numbers were of the best. Her voice is full, round and very powerful. She has full control of the high register. Her lower tones are rich and pure and shows careful study of tone placing.
Mrs. W. E. Huston has a beautiful, rich, sweet, voice. The people of Greenfield are to be congratulated in having such an elegant soprano singer as Mrs. Huston. She surprised the people last evening by singing so elegantly with the orchestra accompainment.
Mrs. J. E. Mack and Miss Pearl Randall accompanied in an artiatio manner. Their touch and technique w&s very fine.
The violin solo of Prof. Mack was as usnal up to his high standard. He is a

'master violinist.'' Pretty little Nell Larimore rendered a violin solo, Romance Op. 35 by Gregh, that showed fine tone, quality and good e^ecutipn. She is young as violinist

the
city. v. The large and commodious church, which is the best place in the city for such an entertainment, was very handsomely decorated with beautiful and fragrant flowers. The audience was a representative one from among our best citizens and aumbers from the country and surrounding towns. The receipts were •$'73 and the price of admission was very low. It is only fair to say that had the people knewn how delightful and enjoyable the. festlrjjd was, the audience would have been much larger. The management,however, is well satlsfiedi and promise® a similar entertainment this fall, and then a grand event next May with three evenings. Too much cannot be said in praise of Prof. Mack, who is doing so much for our city in
musical way. As music is
one of the most delightful-and charming of the Arts, we will.be glad,to see, it cultivated and patronized by our people. The festival was a grand success and we congratulate all connected with it.
TEMPERANCE MEETING.
Semi-Annnal Convention ol the Hancock County W. C. T. U. First M. E. Church Greenfield Wednesday, May 27 '96.
State President, Mrs. Beck presided. The exercises were taken as named on the programe. Devotional exercises were coi ducted by Mrs. Anna Nigh. The address of welcome by Mrs. Mary Swope was cheering and true to the cause. Response by Mrs. Maggie Shultz, of Charlottesville, was bright and up-to-date on the questions before us. The usual committees were appointed, after which reports from the different departments were heard. The bible reading by Mrs. John H. Binford was full of most excellent teaching and gave us a new impulsa and fresh courage, realizing to us the firmness and all endncing nature of our work for God and humanity.
This was followed by noonl Ide prayer led by Mrs Anna Nigh. Afternoon session was opened by Vicepresident, Mrs. Adah New. The programme with but little variation was ably carried out. Iostead of the paper by Belle Hatfield. An interesting discus.- Ion on Scientific Temperance Instruction, developed the need of a special committee to see that teachers in our public schools observed the law in teaching the effect of alcohol and narcotics on the liuman system and if need be, remind the teachers of the penalty attached to this section of the law. An interesting question box was opened by Mrs, Shultz, who was ably assisted on answers by Mrs. Beck.
The address of Mrs. Beck at night closed the convention. Mrs. Beck's talk was unique and interesting. Mrs. Beck is a woman of culture and fine appearance. Her theme was "The Building of the Wall. Mrs. Leonard, of Rushville, presided.
The Wilkins Drug Store Sold.
Today the administrators of the estate of the late Arthur Wilkins sold the drug store belonging to the estate. A four year old horse sold toEd Custer for $10. 50 and a gold watch for $14.50. It was for one of Arthurs brothers. There was some spirited bidding on the store. Lee Barrett made the first bid on the store $15,000 which was followed by bids from V. L. Early, W. H. Pavley, Will Rafferty, Tom Selman, H. A. Gable of Fairmount and a couple of gentlemen from Middletown, Ohio. The contest finally narrowed down to Mr. Gable and the Ohio gentlemen with Mr. Gable a winner when he raised the Middletown men from $2,650 to $2,560 Auctioneer W. W. Rigdon plead most potently for a fair price for the store and got it. The stock invoiced $3,278. Mr. Gable is a glass manufacturer at Marion and bought the store for his nephews, F. B. and J. L. Gable of Pittsburg who with their mother will move here at once. The young men who will have charge of the store are both experienced druggists and the older F. F. Gable.is a graduate of the Pittsburg School of Pharmacy. Mr. Gable who purchased the store is a 32 degree Mason and a very nice appearing gentle man as is also his nephew J. L. Gable who is also here and will have charge of the store with his brother.
To Headers Of The Ually Kepublcan.
The fact has been proven time and again that the business man or firm who advertise their business and invite the people to trade with them are the energetic, pushing, active business men of the place in which they reside, and that they are the most liberal men with whom to deal. At the same time, they make the effort to supply their customers with what they want. Therefore, we urge upon all readers of The Daily REPUBLICAN to always consult its colums before trading anywhere. Bargains are offered through its colums every day snd these can be learned by examining the pages of this paper. ltf
