The meeting last night at the First Baptist church was a complete success in every way. The attendance was not quite as large as had been anticipated, nor as large as it should have been to hear the lecture, but good for the unpleasant evening. Mr. Tesh came up to the recommendations concerning himself and his work. It was announced at the meeting that the only reason he could come here was because of another engagement being canceled, until later, for which all who heard him were glad. The speaker is a southern man with the speech peculiar to the people, with a winning personality, in full command of his subject, which held his audience for more than an hour. He spoke of the need of men In all walks of life, who are Christian men, how they may be, and are being won. Being out under the auspices of the World-Wide Baraca and Philathea Unions, he dwelt at length on their work as an organized Bible Class, telling an imaginary, yet very real, experience of a strange young man In a strange city and how he was found out by the Bible Class, won lor Christ and the church, Ihstead of drifting into vice and ruin. _ Mr. Tesh left early Thursday morning for Hammond, where he speaks the last of four places in the state before going farther west.

Put Tour Mail Box Near the Wagon Road.

The postoffice department has begun investigation about the positions of the mail boxes along rural routes, with a view to expediting the carrying service. Each carrier will be required to make report through his postmaster of the position of ever# mail box on his route, and where the boxes are so situated as to cause the carrier to drive out of his way, or to drive through muddy places. The patrons will be notified to reset the boxes wherever they are out of the way. They must not be attached to telephone or telegraph poles nor to fences, but to neat, strong posts of proper height. If the defects are not corrected the carrier will be unable to deliver the mail to those that do not meet the requirements.

A. C. Prevo Dies at Medaryville Wednesday.

Asa C. Prevo, a former commissioner of Jasper county, at one time a resident of Rensselaer, and for many years one of the best known and most highly esteemed fhrmer in Gillam township, died at his home in Medaryville Wednesday, April 28th. His wife died during March, 1808. He leaves four sons and one daughter, as follows: Andrew W., George D., Frank G., Arthur, anjj Mrs. Maude Guild, wife of John Guild, of Roachdale. Albo two grandchildren at home, namely, Emma Brown and Millard Prevo. Although he had been in rather poor health for some time, he had rallied some within the past year, and had only been sick about a week when death came. Kidney trouble was the direct cause of his death, although he was also quite old, being about 78, The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but burial will probably be Sunday, the time having been deferred in the hope that the son, George D., who lives in Idaho, might reach home before the funeral. Misses Lizzie and Mary Comer, oi this city, are cousins of the deceased. Stephen and Barney Comer, of Union township, are also related. It is not the pbrt of a newspaper to voice the feelings of any one in their personal affairs, nor to criticise any individual because some other person wants It done. We-have our own personal troubles and keep them outside the newspaper columns. Thus, we hope that a friend who recently contributed an article for publication, In which they roasted another party will see that no matter how right the contributor was and no matter how wrong the other party was, the Republican can not take a hand in it That would simply cause more trouble between the principles and make this paper the subject of much criticism.

Optometry “Optometrist” means a person licensed nnder the laws of the state to test eyesight and fit glasses. Having recently taken the State Board Examination and was one of a few that successfully passed, the privilege to use this title has been extended to me and is the state guarantee to yon of my competency and authority to correct refractive errors by proper glasses, which is not only ap improvement to vision but a benefit to one’s general health. Bemember the word “Optometrist,” it will safeguard you against Incompetents who are neither capable nor authorized by law to test yonr sight or prescribe glasses. Yon owe it to yourself to get posted on the new Optometry law recently passed by the state for you and your family’s protection. I , ; If your eyes bother *you and cause you to feel bad, don’t put it off, bnt cjtll on the “Optometrist,” have your eyes properly taken care of and be relieved of your trouble. If yon break a lense or any part of yonr glasses don’t take them Just any place, thinking you can get the same thing, but take them to Catt, the Optometrist, then yon take no chances. * Remember this. In order to get the people familiar with the new title, “Optometrist,” which the state law has given the science of correction of visual defects by glasses, I will give $5.00 in gold to the person that writes “Dr. A. 0. Catt, Optometrist,” the greatest number of times on a B*4xsH inch postal card and mails to me on or before the first day of Jnne, 1909. Office over Long's Drug Store. DB. A. Q.
