He was a devoted husband end an effect lonate father and leave a widow and five children to mourn their loss: R. L. Cooper, of Staley; Mrs. T- J. Fowler, Mrs. J. C. Hob-, son, D. It. Cooper and Miss Alice Cooper, of Greensboro. Brother Coopepr served three years of his lit ip the Confederate army. He was secord l'eutenant and belonged to compry I, 40th regiment . North Carolina troops. He 'was a faithful soldier, loyal to his country and true to God. He was in the battle of Port Fisher where 1,000 fell at his right h nd but the cannon ball did sot come nigh unto him. But the pale messenger of death has come and laid its cold icy hand on him and takrm him from our midst- Our loss is- Ms eternal gain. May God ' bless and comfort the bereft. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still, j v A place si vacant in oar borne, WhUh never can be filled. Written by one who knew him welt How To Build Up Market For Produce. Now. the first thing I would ad vise the farmer to do Is to have the editor print htm some envelopes to use In his correspond nece, and f-robnbly some letter-heads. It will cost but a trifle .more than to buy thn mimr'nnd enveiooes ai me siorej and maybe not so much. When a man gets a letter from you with your nr.me and address printed neat ly on the paper, he concludes that you are at least of enough im portance to put your name, before the world bo it can be seen. Then get familiar with the editor as a factor in selling your stuff. It you give him 15 cents to run a three-line reader In his paper, say ing: "Turnip Greens, Onions, Radishes Henry Jones will be in town on Monday with urnlp greens, on ions, and radishes," you will have the people in their residence streets laformd of your coming, and ready to Duy more quicKiy man u you have to argue the Question after you- arrive. If you ask them In ithe paper to telephone an order to rou . before you start to town you may aell out all the stuff you propose to take before yon have it ok your wagon. . Tell people through the paper that your Klondike strawberries will be ripe by Wednesday, and. aell for 16 cents a quart. Tell them you have killed a beef and will deliver some desirable pieces of meat on certain date, at wholesale prices, al ways naming the price. Your paper will help you to sell Ihe cow that you do not find a pur chaser for among your immediate neighbors. It will locate a man who would take a dosen of your eggs for setting, at a reasonable price, but who does not know you, have them unlets you tell him m a psper. The paper is merely a man with a bigger audience than you can get yourself, and It "tells the story to all cf them. It tells wht you want to sell, and it tells it for cry little cost. Bion H. Butler in Progressive Farmo. Rev. M. M. Shields, of Greens boro, wi'l preach In the Presbyteri an church next Sunday morning and evening. Trash Cans, in the Towns. Trash cans should be supplied In abundance in every town. The ap pearance of the town is indicative of the character of the Inhabitants. A man who is methodical, n hla business matters has a place for each thing, also a good housekeep er. These men and women must have a place for trash as well as their business papers and household prticles. With trash cans provided at short Intervals of space along the streets it would be as easy to throw trash In tbem as on the streets. The throwing of trash on the streets Is only a habit anyway; we are creat ures of habit. Fru'ti - peelings thrown about the streets draw flies which sre tie filthiest thing- possi ble and lead to all kinds of diseases- Instead of going to the expense of having a man to cleano cur streetc.let as adept a reso lufion for the Jfew Year that we will provide trrsh cans for our streets and fee that we and others put our trash in, them. The Health Habit. Avman is sent to the penitentiary because he has disobeyed the laws of the land- He goes disgraced in the eyes of his friends and society. A man is sick' largely because he lias violated the laws of nature and nature's God. Such persons, instead of foell g d sgracd, often fecla sorr for theniselves' r.nd go about craving sympathy from every one who jwilf listen to their story. Health is the most, natural tilling !n the world. .. Man was never ln tendecto be other than healthy and happy. If he Is, he is out of! har- inony with nature. Physicians no longer enlim all the credit for curing people of disease. Tne chief function of physicians is to lead men back in line with na ture. Nature heals, and all the heal ing forces rae perfect natural. Most ofu a know rules of health. They are common knowledge these days The trouble Is that mpny of us co-Dr sfder ourselves exceptions and post poned punishment does not deter us from violating these laws of na ture. I But we must do more than know the- laws of health. We must brjng our will power to bear to see that we live them. We must make these laws pa't of ourselves, a part 1 of our business, a part of our very life, our every-day habit, if you please. Health Is a habit with a vast num ber of people already, and more arc getting the habit every day. They make it their buelnees to be well every day, ad the feellg of discom fort at being sick is only equaled by their fecljngs of disappointment and disgrace at not being contlnnal'yl up to their habitual standard. The Bazaar a Success The frlenda of the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy, Randolph Chapter, will be glad to learn of the success of the bazaar held In Asheboro Dec. 6, and 7. The suc cess of it was due in great measure to mejllberrllty cf the merchants and manufacturers and others who geerous'y devoted many servicable gifts. In behalf of the chapter, wish to thank them and assure them of sincere appreciation ef their gen erous co-operation with us In am ef fort to benefit the Confederate Sol diers and their descendants. The hearty thanks of the chapter Is also due the cltisens of Asheboro for their Ubsral patronage. Miss May D. McAlster, President Wilson Warns Moneyed Men. President-elect Wilson held up a warning finger Tuesday night of last week to any one who might delib erately start panic to show, that the intended legislative policies were wrong. In his speech. jit the banquet of the Southen Society of New York declared that the machinery was in existence for starting an "un natural" panic- "Frankly," said Gov. Wilson, "I don't think there Is any man living who dares to use that machlrey. If he does, I prom ise him, for my fellow countrymen, a gibbet as high' as Hainan's." He said that of course it would not be a literal pilbet, but it would be a gibbet of public disgrace which would Hve as long as the memory Lf that man's family survive.

The ruling of the Postmaster-General that such ' articles as butter, lard, fish, vegetables, ber ries and even eggs, when properly packed, may be transmitted under the' parcels post, optis 'wide the door for readjustment of trade con ditions,' It remains to be seen how the regulaticns will work out, but j it looks as If the retailer might first feel the operaticn of the law, 'but whether In an increased oit -diminished trade is not yet apparent. On the other hand, many articles may not be sent by parcels post. Matches, " liquors, explosives of all kinds, pistols' and revolvers, live or dead animals, hides or pelts and books and printed matter are for bidden. Books . and printed mat- tor must go as third-clrss matter. as at present. This precaution Is necessitated becfuse the parcel? post might be, t greatly flooded with business. In all probability, when the system Is, In successful operation the latter matter will be accepted, for there Is a greater reason for Its inclusion than Its exclusion. ' r.

Imag'ne a Chistmas shop with poor show window. You wouldn't expect to find much In such Htore. To a large extent the show windows are the indicator cards! or an index to the rest of the store. Sometimes, of course, they are not a true index, but they usually give some idea of what is back of them. Did it ever occur to you that you skin is teh show window of the body? Well, it is, and a pretty good indicator, too, For instance, a pale, white, skin shows anemia due to poor blood making or excessive blood breaking, A faint lemon hue means that the Mood is being excessively destroyed. Marked yellow means that bile is being poured into the blood. Pimples and boils mean that the surface germs have gone down into the skdn glands. Carbuncles mean that these surface germs have gone still deeper. Physicians diagnose scarlet fever and measles by the ap pearance of the skin. Likewise, the presence of chicken pox and small pox Usually detected by the looks of the skin. The blood easily shows through a thin skin and poorly through a thick one, but the human skin is never so thick but that tint is given to it by the blood. If the blood is rclh, or if there is much blood the skin is lng andr uddy. On -the other band, poor blood and little of it 'results in prllcr. Here Is much food for thought for the would-be putty girl. . Happy the store with the well trimmed shew windows, but thrice happy the pecple with the clear, bright skin. A Demand for Reform. j ; If North Carolina needs anything today that need is a . modern and efficient system of taxation jet only a day or two ago. wd. heard a promi nent editor declare that we would not get It soon, that legislators were as afraid of such a proposition as a dog law.

Sails ")ury Post. Blow Out the House. Frequently it Is extremely diffi cult, if not Impoesble, to adequately ventilate many cf our houses, owing to te way in which they are built. One of the best aids to such unfor tunate conditions is the periodlo blowing out or thorough airing .of curtain parts of such a house- la the home not infrequently the fam ily can be inducrd to move from one part' of the horse to another, or to different rooms, for five cr ten min utes at a time. Then the door and windows in the unused rooms can be left open long enough to drive out the stale, foul air. Such rooms will be found de'lghtfully sweet and fiesh when entnred offer such an, airing, and the top ecctkns cf the windows are left open eight of ten inches this freshness villi continue for some time. Schoolhouees should be thoroughly aired at every intermtsrion. There is no danger then of the children's becoming ccld, as they are exercis ing sufficiently to keep up the circu lation. In fact, they should aH be sent outside during intermissions, ex cept in rsjry weather- There la no ventilation like being outside in the open ar.
