That is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with." Among the immense nwabers of peo ple who are now strong believers in Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs. M. E. Delano, a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass. She says: "For several years I was broken in health, caused primarily by stomach and nerve troubles. I gradu ally became worse, until recently I was compelled to go without solid food for days at a time. I had sour stomach, palpitation of the nerves of stomach and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme ner | vousness. I suffered terribly with in somnia, and my -liver, bowels and whole system gradually became de ranged. I felt instar.t relief the first day I began this Cooper medicine. I now feel like a new being: Today I walked all over town, shopping— something I have not done for years. "I make this statement wholly from a sense of duty. I f.>el I owe it to anyone who might find relief and renewed happiness as I have done." The record made by the Cooper med icines is astonishing. We will take pleasure In discussing it with -anyone who wishes to kfiow about them. «•& & Menzier. ; [The "Dee strick Skule" A crowded house witnessed tfte performance of the "Dee strick Skule" last Friday night. The play was given in aid of the Rectory fund, and netted a good sum, both for this, and for the owner of the rights in the per formance, Miss Sallie Battle, who was stage manager. Hon.'M. H. Yxrnnt, as school master, was a star actor. He suffered much both from the scholars and the committee, who reduced his "sellery'* to sl2 per mpnth, which, as he said, left very little for the support of a wife and sixteen children. Mrs E. L. Shuford was fine as Mrs. Honeysuckle. Mr. Patrick, a* the stammering boy, Mr. J. D. Elliott asthe dull scholar, Dr. Ramsay, as Mike, could not'have been beaten. Mr. w. E. Hol brook as Buddie, Mr. Gus Setzer, the boy who would drink water and hold the dipper, with both hands, the laughing girl, the cry ing girl were all excellent Mrs. ■ Cilley's lisp was the sweetest thing ever, and Mrs. Bourbon-- nais and Mrs. Moody as the twins ; would have made a cat laugh, J even if it had the tooth-ache. The ] manner in which Mr. Blackwel- 1 der rode a stick horse and other- ' wise disoorted himself baffles the 1 power of the English language i to describe it. M'ss Mattie Ab- 1 ernethy giggled so naturally that everybody else giggled just i as long as she did. Messrs: Link and Hufham were ideal committeemen for a ~!'dee stricK skule." Altogether the effect produced upon the by the Skule will not be forgotten. Wherever Miss Battle xoes wich this little play it is a success and money winner. We cannot too strongly endorse her to any com munity that is trying to raise money for a worthy object. {There is just one thing to re gret. Why, oh," why, 5 could not Mr. C. G. Bost have been induced to take a part? Remembering that famous Toaseball 'garfte, we ire satisfied that he would have left all the other scholars so far behind that you'd had to hunt 'em up with/a search- { light) ' T:'A The Play at LenQir College. _ These who braved the ele nents—and they were quit§« a lumber—on Monday night, Dec. Jth, to attend the annual play at Lenoir College were amply re- j jaid, while those who failed to attend missed a treat. The play, given by the Euronian Literary Society was "The Woven Web," and all of the characters were »markably well cast and well sustained. While all were fine, and showed that Miss Sawyer, (the teacher of expression) had given careful and intelligent raining perhaps Mr. R. F. Mous e , as "Uncle Toby" gave the nost enjoyment—his being a humorous part and delightfully played. Prof. Patterson as "the villain," Miss .Baker. as Louise Falconer, Mr. Smith as Walter Hastings, and Mr. Lineberger as "Tim" were all fine. The Le noir College Orchestra added much to the enjoy nent by the sweet music it ren dered. It is hoped the play will i >e repeated at an early date. Mr. H. Campbell killed two iir e porkers last week just one vt ar old, the two weighing 890 pounds, the largest -Weighing 4(6 pounds. Mr. Campbell told U3 he lac- ed 20 days of fe dhs these.hogs one year. ; Who is next? 1 . Burglars are still on the alert around Hickory. On Monday night they entered Mr- Lawson's residence just in the edge of the city limits, broke into two bu reau drawers and two trunks. Mr. Lawson was at home buti could not detect who the parties j were before making their escape Gunpowder Dots Thanksgiving'"passed off quiet ly.;..A few T rkbbi'ts * ind birds were taken,. But _we haye not heard of any turkeys losingtheir lives. Mr. and Mrs. J, R. Sherrtll, of * near Maiden,. Catawba county, B visited relatives and friends in this community last week. ~ 9 You need not be surprised at the cold wave, as there was a [ : wedding last Sunday. Mr. Ed - ICirby arid , Miss Brady Starnes ? were made man and wife by G. I W. Sberrill,. J. P.,- reciting the ' ceremony l ' in the presence of a few friends. Much- happiness 1 wished for the young couple. Died at her home last Wednes day evening at 7 o'clock, after long and painful suffering from cancer of the breast, Mrs. Dr. |B. G. Flowers. Her funeral was I held from Pisgah church,, Alex ander county, by her pastor, on Friday, after whichJier body was I iaid to rest to aw&it the general I resurrection. - In the death' q£ this good wom an, the church one of her most devoted and consecrated members; society has lost ai amiable and Obliging friend, and the home has sustained an irre parable loss.. Her taking away j was peculiarly sad, but we| *'mourn not as those who have j no hope; for she left unmistaka- j ble evidence that all was well j with her soul. . -- j We extend sympathy to the be reaved family, and. relatives, and point them for comfort to Him "whois too wise to err,land too good to be unkind." Our school, which has been in progress three weeks, seems to be meeting every expectation. Fifty-two pupils have been en rolled out of a census of sixty five. T Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Corpcning spent a few days with relative* in Lenoir last week. Mr. and Mrs. M. T. JJmathert visited their grand-mother Mrs. A. L.
