How Much Would You Take
For Your Eyes?
The biggest fortune wouldn't
buy them, would it? Ye(, many
people use their eyes in such a
way that they are destroying
them for nothing. It's thought
lessness that cToes it, but this is
no excuse.
Dr. N. Rosenstein, the eye
specialist of Durham, will be in
Roxboro next Tuesday July the
7th stopping at the Hotel Jones.
Come to see him and let him fit
you with proper glasses. He has
had long years of experience in
examining eyes and gtting glasses.
Charges very reasonable.
Bosnia and Herzegovinia.
The archduke was struck full in
the face and the princess was shot
through the abdomen and throat.
They died a few minutes after,
reaching the palace to which they
were hurried.
Those responsible for the ass
assination took care that it should
prove effective. There were two
assailants, the first armed with a
bomb and the second witharevol
ver. The bomb was thrown at the
royal automobile as' it sped to the
town hall, where a reception was
to be held.
The archduke saw the mjssile
hurtling through the air and ward-
that between the North and South,
but the annual pension list arising
from it is now twenty-nine million
dollars.
Any war with any foreign coun
try would mean a burden of debt
which people would be paying for
fifty years hence. We have no
right to place such a tremendous
burden upon posterity. Winston

Good Seasons To The North.
Mr. J. A. Long, who has just .;
returned from New York tells us
that all through Virginia and
states North they are having fine .
seasons and crops are flourishing. . V

ago, the plague is said to have
been prevalent' in Havana for some
months, 25 cases having been re
ported in that city.
Water Alright
There has been a rumor around
for the past two weeks that the
city water was unhealthy. Upon
hearing this rumor the town au
thorities immediately sent in a
specimen and had it examined by
the State Laboratory of Hygiene,
and a telegram was received by
Mr. J. M. O'Briant Tuesday
morning that the water was ab
solutely free from polution.
The water has been a little
scarce, but quite naturally owing
to the long dry spell. There
should' be no uneasiness about the
water after having this report
from the state. As a matter of
fact there are only a few towns in
North Carolina that have water
that can equal that of Roxboro.
