When to Put on Glasses.
When your eyes tire, and when you cannot look for any length of time
at small objects, as in reading or sewing.
When you involuntarily frown or partly close your eyes when looking
at an object. «
When objects "swim" or become dim after being looked at for some
time.
When the eyes ache, smart, or water; when the lids get inflamed often,
or when you have pain in the eyeball or head.
When you have any nervous derangement which you cannot otherwise
account for.
If you have any of the above symptoms of defective vision we
would be pleased to have you come and see us? W e make no charge
for examination and if you do not need glasses wef rankly tell you so.

Chandler Oil and Development Co.
A business meeting of the stockholders
of the Chandler Oil and Development Co.
was held at the rooms of the Commercial
club last Monday. Permanent directors for
the ensuing year were elected as follows:
W. Burgess, Lee Patrick, John Embry, P.
S. Hoffman, G. W. Schlegel, F. B. Hoyt,
D. R. Owens, J. F. Ayars, and H. B.
Gilstrap. The bylaws reported from the
committee were adopted, with a few amend-
ments, and the board of directors elected
the following officers: President, W. Bur-
gess; first vice president, J. F. Ayars?
second vice president, G. W. Schlegel;
secretary and general manager, F. B. Hoyt;
treasurer, Lee Patrick.
Committees were appointed to go ahead
with the work of securing leases, and other
arrangements were made to get the work
started as soon as possible.
Newspaper Deal.
The plant, subscription list, good will,
accounts and business of the Democrat and
Telegram were purchased this week by H.
B. Gilstrap, proprietor of the News. The
publication of the Democrat and Telegram
will be continued for several weeks yet, on
account of legal publications now running
in that paper, and during that time the
name of Mr. Allison will appear as editor.
About the first of July the Democrat and
Telegram will probably be consolidated
with the Chandler News.
The ladies of the Christian church will
serve ice cream ••qnd strawberries next
j Saturday afternoon at* the Horseshoe
1 restaurant building. Ten cents. Every-
body invited. •
The fine strawberries now being marketed
by S. L. Bullard, D. W. Wolfe, and others
show in a very convincing way what can be
done with small fruits in this country.
Some very nice berries have beeu shipped
in from Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas,
but none that will begin to compare with
the home product. L. C. Fouquet is
marketing cherries that rival the California
cherries. There is no doubt about the
possibility of making a profitable business
of raising fruit here for shipping. If our
people will but take good care of the crop
they can make it more profitable than any
other grown here.
Getting' Ready.
The committee appointed to take charge
of arrangements for the Fourth of July
celebration is hard at work and reports the
coming blowout will surpass anything ever
held in Chandler. The boys know what
they are talking about, and everybody
should plan to help make this a grand
county celebration.

A Well Improved Place.
T. S. Duffy is having a well put down on
his place on east'Ninth street. Mr. Duffy
has illustrated well what can be accomplish-
ed in a short time in the way of improving
his home. His residence was only built a
year ago, and he now has. his yard set to
grass and his trees and vines have made a
fine growth, making his place one of the
prettiest in town.
Mr. Gaddis, a Carthage., Mo., capitalist,
was here the first of the week looking at
the country.
New Building's.
A. N. Shearer has begun work on the
excavation for a new business building on
his lot opposite the court house square.
His building will the same height and
general style as the Feuquay building.
A. B. Oleson is making good headway on
his new building adjoing the Mascho block
on the south. Mr. Oleson is a splendid
mechanic and shows good business judg-
ment in investing in Chandler prope.rty.
The Strassberger building, just south of
Marcus' furniture store, is nearing cqm-
pletion. This is the second building that
Mr. Strassberger has built here, and he
knows from experience that Chandler is a
good place to own property.
Band Organized.
A number of band men met at the city
hall Tuesday evening and decided to organ-
ize and prepare a first-class band to .take
part in Chandler's big Fourth of July cele-
bration. After an hour's practice, the
meeting adjourned til! tomorrow evening.
Every band man in town is invited to be at !
the city hall at 7:30 o'clock. Chandler has 1
as good mnsicians as any town in the terri-
tory, and with a little encouragement this
band can be made one of the best.

Gas at Stroud.
Last Friday, while drilling a well on lots
belonging to T. J. Tull, at Stroud, the
drilier discovered a roaring noise, which he
thought indicated the presence of gas in
the well, and he also found indications of
oil. The people of tlje town went wild with
excitement, the bard getting out and a
general jollification ensuing. The well had
reached a depth of only 70 feet, and while
nothing more than traces were found, there
is no doubt but that Stroud, with [the other
parts of Lincoln county, can get the gas or .
oil by simply going do\yn to where it is.
Building' Going On.
There are at present in course of erection |
in Chandler business buildings of brick and j
stone with a total frontage of 175 feet on
| Manvel avenue. In addition to this there
will be several fine buildings begun soon.

making a mighty substantial growth.

• Memorial Sermon.
The annual memorial sermon was deliver-
ed last Sunday at the M. E. church by Rev.
Ferguson, the pastor. The members of the
G. A. R. attended in a body, and the church
was crowded by those who desired to join
in honoring the soldier dead. The sermon
of Rev. Ferguson was an eloquent tribute
and a practical lesson. Appropriate music
added to the enjoyment of the services.

The Chandler hjgh school now has a
handsome new upright piano, purchased
