THE EYESIGHT OF LEOMINSTER . It is difficult to over - estimate the boon this remarkable man's visit will confer upon the town . It is a recog nised fact that over 50 per cent . of the population of our large industrial centres suffer from defective vision in one way or another - and , the percentage in Leominster is higher than in many large The close work in the This is , perhaps , inevitable . factory , work - shop and office - the straining of the eyes over the desk or work - table , frequently in bad light result sooner or later in an urgent need for glasses . DO NOT DELAY . Mr. Buck can only stay in Leominster for five days . Make a point of visiting him early . To miss the op- portunity now may mean a lifelong regret , and , perhaps , serious eye trouble . Even if the eyes seem all right , go , and consult him . Hundreds of people make a point of doing this , as they know there is no fear of being advised to wear glasses when these are unnecessary , that , if all is well they come away satisfied their eyesight is sound in every respect . And it costs them nothing . HOURS OF ATTENDANCE : 10 to 1 : 2.30 to 7 . Don't put down this paper until you have fixed in your mind a time to go and see Mr. Buck . Let him tell you exactly how things are with your eyes . It may cost you nothing ; in any case the cost will be much less than is ordinarily charged .

There has recently been a remarkable of tragedies in Hereford . The latest occurred on Friday last when George Devlin , 43 , single , of 31 , Canal Road , was discovered hanging in his bedroom . Deceased , who had lived with his aged mother and a sister , had not worked for some time . His health was in a serious state owing to consumption and rheumatism , and he was unable to walk owing to sciatica . From a letter left by the deceased it appeared that he suffered from the delusion that he was going to be turned out of the house . He said his " bad turns were coming on again and he was afraid of doing harm to some one so had decided to finish . Dr. Dickinson , who gave medical evidence at the inquest , said de- ceased's case was utterly hopeless . A verdict of suicide whilst of unsound mind was re- turned and sympathy was expressed with the family . • It seems that with the increase of fares the special concessions which used to be granted to hop - pickers have been withdrawn .
