POINTS WORTH REMEMBER-
ING ABOUT YOUR EYES.
Miss Mamie Nash, of Paris, is
visiting in the city this week the
guest of Miss Lou Shaw.
All Linen Brown Skirts, only
$1.50, ready made, at Williamson,
Blocker & Co's.
Do not use protecting glasses a-
gainst strong light, except you are un-
able to evade the strong light entirely;
it is much better to evade the strong
light; if, however, you must use pro-
tecting glasses, do not use green,.blue
or yellow glasses, but use glasses call-
ed Smoked glasses, and make it a rule
to use the Ligltest smoked glasses
that will be convenient, and have
their magnifying power as weak as
possible to wear easy—avoiding at all
times the cupped, (concavo-convex)
glasses, which are especially injurious
to the eye.
Do not be persuaded by an optician
to wear so-called tinted glasses, the
most common tints worn being ruby
and sapphire. Do not risk buying
your glasses like you would buy oth-
er articles, but get a physician that
has made a special study of the eye to
examine your eyes and give you a
prescription for them. Consider that
you have but two eyes, and that you
would not like to lose either one.
There are about five hundred strengths
of lenses made and they may be com-
bined and ground together in a thous-
and ways. The best stocked stores
hardly ever keep more than fifty
strengths of lenses,you can readily see
that even the best fitting glasses these
stores have may be wrong.
Eye glasses are often ground from
cheap glass, some from green glass;
many have flows in them and some
are not ground at all, but moulded.
To fit glasses satisfatorily the frame
should be adjusted as carfully as the
lenses.
Again, remember that the best fit-
ting glasses cannot keep your eyes
in good condition, if you Peksist in
Doing Mobe Wobk with Youb Eyes
than youb body can stand. Your
eyes need rest as much as your arms
or entire muscular system. Many
whose eyes are normal, have blurred
visions after prolonged use; this can
be corrected almost entirely by glas-
ses, a glass that will assist the eye to
do the same work with more ease.
Then again there are sometimes eye
troubles caused by impairment in gen-
eral health and can be relieved only
by medical treatment.
Any style of frame furnished desired
also any size of eye. Those having
frames and require only a change of
lenses can be fitted with little ex-
pense. Satisfactian guaranteed.

A little 18-month-old child of
Mr. and Mrs. Z. Rogers, living
eight miles east of McKinney,
lost its life last Saturday by fall-
ing from a gate. In falling its
head was caught between two
pickets, from which it was sus-
pended and choked to death be-
fore its absence was discovered
and it could be recovered.
The Musical.
The entertainment at the High
School building last Friday night
was quite a treat to the visitors,
and the house was filled to over-
flowing. The music was good,
and reflects credit on the offorts
of Mrs. Williams in her care for
the advancement of her pupils.
In the operetta "Maud Irving,"
the acting was good, but the

ing "star" if he devotes himself
to the Thespian art.

The gynaecological sandal,
lately invented and . patented by
Dr. F. E. Pope, of this city, is

at once its great utility in cases
where it is necessary to perform
an operation. Like the use of
anaesthetics in surgery, it will
prove a benefit to both patient
and operator.

Married.
At the Methodist parsonage on
the evening of June 4th, Mr. W.
D. Hudson and Miss Mary Leath
were united in marriage, Rev. J.
E. Vinson officiating. The Sig-
nal wishes them the greatest
success and happiness through
life.
At 3 o'clock, p. m., Wednesday
evening, Mr. William H. Jones
and Miss Effie Gill were united in
marriage at the residence of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.
C. Gill, in the west part of town.
Rev. A. L. Barr performed the
beautiful ceremony that united
this happy couple, who with the
bride and groom and a few invit-
ed guests were seated before a
table laden with a bountiful sup-
ply of delicacies prepared by
Mrs. Gill in honor of the occasion.
Many kind words were said ex-
pressive of best wishes for the
future happiness of the bride and
groom.
Mr. Walter Scott and Miss Kate
Magill were united in marriage
by Rev. J. E. Vinson, at8o'clock
last Tuesday morning, at the res-
idence of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. W. Magill in
this city. The happy couple im-
mediately took the cannon ball
train for a trip to the Tennessee
Centennial by the way of New
Orleans, followed by a shower of
rice, and the proverbial old shoe,
with all it implies.
Good people, if you want a good
cold refreshing drink of any kind
it will pay you to go to J. H.
Lloyd's confectionery and ice
cream parlor—always got 'em.

church, assisted by Prof, and
Mrs. Runcie, will give an enter-
tainment on the 23rd instant.

Shot Twice Through the Heart Be-
cause of a Humorous News-
paper Article.
Ardmore, I. T., June 7.—Clar-
ence B. Douglas, Republican pol-
itician and aspirant for a place
on the Dawes commission, shot
and instantly killed James Wil-
liams, editor of the Daily Chron-
icle, this morning at 9:25.
It is supposed the shooting was
a result of the publication of a
humorous article in Sunday's
Chronicle, containing allusion to
Douglas. The men met in the
middle of Main street, Douglas
approached Williams, a few words
passed and Douglas shot twice,
both shots passing through Wil-
liams' heart, one shot being fired
after Mr. Williams fell to the
ground.
Douglas was arrested immedi-
ately after the killing and lodged
in jail, pending his preliminary
hearing on Jnne 9.
James Williams was 41 years
old. He was a well-known news-
paper man here and in Northern
Texas. He was editor and pro-
prietor of the Chronicle at Den-
ton, Texas, a number of years,
and established the Chronicle
here last summer.
Great excitement prevails be-
cause of the prominence of the
parties to the tragedy. Mr. Wil-
liams' body will be buried at
Denton, Texas, on the 8th instant
under the auspices of the Knights
of Pythias, of which order he was
a member. He was a man of
wide acquaintance and had many
friends in the Indian Territory
and Texas. He was a member of
the Texas Press Association, and
was particularly well-known in
that fraternity.—Dallas News.

A Small Blaze.
The two warehouses belonging
to J. T. Holt and situated near
the T. and P. railroad in this
city, were burned down last Mon-
day evening. The fire originat-
ed from the burning of the trash
taken from the two houses pre-
paratory to storing this year's
crop of hay. E. W. Walder had
just removed his stock of hay
from one of the buildings before
the fire occurred. No insur-
ance. Material is on the^ ground

City Council Meeting.
The City Council met in regular
session last Monday evening and
transacted a little business. All
the members were present except
Guthrie, who is visiting in Tenn-
essee. The street committee got
after the Santa Fe folks with a
sharp stick for not putting in a
culvert at the intersection of their
road with Garoutte Avenue. The
finance committee scotched the
street commissioner's pay in the
future if he failed to make his
report in accordance with its in-
structions. The cemetery com-
mittee reported the completion of
the fence enclosing the negro
burying ground to itself, and the
setting of a trap to catch coons
depredating on flowers and shrub-
bery in any other part of the
cemetery.
The printing committee had
awarded the printing of ordi-
nances, etc., to the Signal and
Citizen, jointly, for ensuing year.
For the printing of legal forms,
letter heads, and such like work,
that was to be let to the lowest
bidder when such work was need-
ed. The sanitary committee re-
ported the condition of the city as
being good,i.e, no worse than usu-
al. The electrician's report show-
ed a a mall margin of collections
over expenditures. About $3000
in accounts were allowed, putting
the city a little deeper in the hole.
The mayor, who had counted
noses, asked for permission for
the Vitascope Company to give
exhibition in the city hall.
When it came to a show-down he
found that aldermen are like
common people;" they don't
always vote as- they talk, and the
majority fcr the measure was so
small his honor, the next day,
flatly refused another company
any effort to try to get the use of
the hall .for them.
The council adjourned till the
21st instant.
Take Notice—I am now ready
to deliver ice at your store or
residence. I guarantee prompt
service and will sell you ice as
cheap as anybody.

Teachers' Contracts.
There has been more or less
dissatisfaction and complaint for
the last three years concerning
the propriety and lawfulness of
trustees entering into contracts
with teachers prior to the organi-
zation of the new board of trus-
tees.
Hardships have been imposed
upon some, because boards of
trustees, in a few districts, con-
tracted with teachers for a longer
period than one year at a time.
The facts are that contention,
strife, and much trouble have
been brought about on account
of the above two reasons.
Trustees were permitted to
make such contracts under a rul-
ing of the state superintendent.
This year the state superin-
tendent has referred the whole
matter of teachers' contracts to
the attorney general. After be-
ing advised by the attorney gen-
eral, the state superintendent
writes me that "contracts made
either for a longer period than
one year or made for any year
prior to the organization of the
board for that year are not law-
ful." The law contemplates the
separation of each year's school
business, except in so far as is
otherwise expressly authorized.
The teachers for one school year
should not be emyloyed by the
board of trustees, as organized,
for the previous year, but that
such employment should be de-
ferred until the board has organ-
ized for the year for which the
employment is made.
In pursuance of the above, I as
county superintendent, do hereby
declare 'my disapproval of all
contracts made for next scholas-
tic year. Trustees cannot law-
fully contract until the organiza-
tion of the new board and this
organization cannot be effected
before July 1, because the trus-
tees elected on the first Saturday
in June cannot qualify until July
1, '97. Therefore, all contracts
that have been made and present-
ed to me for the next scholastic
year are invalid and new con-
tracts will have to be made on or
after the first of July. My action
in this matter is based upon in-
structions from the state super-
intendent.
Section 23 of the school laws
makes his instructions and regu-
lations binding for observance on
all school officers and teachers.
Respectfully,
F. M. Bralley,
County Supt.
Miss Bettie Gilmer left yester-
day for a two week's visit to
friends at Durant, I. T.
This line offers superb facilities

Memphis to Washington and solid
trains from New Orleans to
Washington. All through trains
from Memphis or New Orleans
carry Pullman Palace Sleeping
Cars from Memphis and New
Orleans to Washington, Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New
York without change.
The Southern Railway runs
double daily trains and unexcell-
ed dining cars.
The time via the Southern
Railway, New Orleans to Wash
ington is thirty-four hours and
New York forty hours without
change. Time via Southern
Railway from Memphis to Wash-
ington, thirty-two hours, and
New York, thirty-eight hours,
without change.
Be a friend to yourself and ask
for tickets via the Southern Rail-
way. Summer tourist tickets to
summer resorts will be placed on

of a life time and you should take
advantage of it.

and 29; and August 2, 5 and 9.
Early Wednesday afternoon
while Mr. Newt McClure was at
work in his blacksmith shop a
piece of hot iron flew up and
struck him in the right eye. Dr.
Price was near and gave imme-
diate attention. Upon the doc-
tor's advice Mr. McClure, ac-
companied by his wife, went to
Paris to receive the attention of
an occulist and has not returned
at this hour. We understand Dr.
Price says the sight of the eye
will be permanently destroyed.
It is needless to add that Mr. Mc-
Clure has the sympathy of all.
The Paris Advocate says Dr.
Moore, the occulist, thinks there
is a slight chance to save Mr.
McClure's eye, if inflammation
can be kept down.—Petty Enter-
prise.
