The prizes were offered for the best letter? during the" months of Oct.

Roseman, was the scene Wednesday evening of one of the most enjoyable enter tainments ever given to the young people of Lincolnton. Miss For ney Roseman entertained a num ber of her friends from eight to eleveu in honor of the New Year. Promptly at the appointed time the guests began to wend their way up the winding drive which leads to the summit of the histori cal battle hill of Ramsaur Mill on which is situated this attractive home. Lanterns were placed at the various turns in the road which runs through the grove in front of the house, lest some might drive against trees or lose them selves in the. deep forest of tall pines and stately oiiks which al most surrounds the house. The pallor and halls were taste fully decorated in the colors of the season, Miss Roseman was assisted by Miss Mary McK'ee in receiving the guests and this was done in such a pleasant manner as to make everyone feel entirely welcome from the very start. After the guests had all arrived an interesting and amusing guess ing contest was started. The gen tlemen were given slips of paper, on which were written the names of States of the United States, while those given the ladies con tained the names of the capitals of these states; and the young lady and gentleman holding state and capital to correspond, sat together during the contest. Cards, upon which were written a brief fairy story, with some words left out, were given each couple; and the object was to fill in these spaces with the names of nuts. Several couples tried for the prize, but by drawing numbers, Miss Stella Del linger and Mr. Steve Reinhardt became thelucky" couplr and to eachwas given a handsome hand painted picture frame, with the words, "My King of Hearts" painted on that one given Miss Dellinger, and "My Queen of Hearts,1 uhativeirMrTReiif hardt. '' Delicious refreshments, consist ing of olives, pickle, cream wafers and nut salad daintily prepared in apple shells, were served. Entertaining games were played and the three hours passed as if only a few minutes. The enter tainment was concluded with var ious selections on the piano and songs by several of the young ladies and the guests - bade the hostess good night, declaring that theyhad never experienced a more enjoyable time and departed for their homes. "'-'r Those present were: Misses Mary and Stella Dellinger, Nettie McMullen, Jennie Childs, Mary and Annie McKee, and Katherine Crawford, Messrs, Mason Pressley Clifton Spence, Victor Fair, John Heim.

Little de lightfully entertained a number of their friends last Friday evening between the hours of eight and eleveu in the greatest social event here of the season at their beauti ful home at Southside. The host and hostess, always full of cheer and hospitality, were overflowing with the peculiar happiness of the Christinas season. The home, sit uated grandly on the summit of a pretty knoll, in a yard seldom des titute of .the song of the bird and of the breathing fragrance of flow ers, commanding the most beauti ful visions of the hills on either side of the river, and its immediate vicinity fancifully clothed with green pine trees and stately oaks, was a place amply tit to indulge in the great merriment of this great season; and the home, together with the peculiarly pleasing charms of the host and hostess, was the very essence of the mirth and so cial festivities of this eventful season. The enjoyment of the evening was great, both because of the beautiful decorations of the house aud also because of the manner of entertainment. The beautiful and commodious, parlor, which served as the reception rcom, was most tastefully aud fancifully decorated. The grand chandelier suspended in the middle of the room was be decked and loaded with holly and mistletoe; holly with its deep red berries and dark green leaves and mistletoe with its mysterious, yet significant, associations; also the heavy frames on the walls were load ed with the same emblems, of peace and gladness. In the left 'hand corner of the room, as one entered, a large .brown owl, painted on card board, was suspended diagonally across the corner; with no eyes he did not seem capable of asking the old, old question, "Who? Who?" The corner opposite the owl, and in which he seemed very intently interested, was daintily and artis tically decorated by means of deep red and dark green crepe suspend ed from the ceiling and gathered at the bottom like a curtain; be tween the folds of crepe could be seen a richly colored sofa aud beautiful sofa pillows. The dining room was also decorated beautiful ly with the same emblems of peace and happiness, the color scheme of the holly and mistletoe and the crepe being perfect. The manner of thcentertainment was also a source of the most pleas ing and agreeable enjoyment. In receiving at the door and in the entertainment of the evening Mrs. Little was very ably assisted by Miss Florence Rhyne, her sister, and by Miss Mattie Burgiu. After theguests-had been gayly chatting for about an hour, a gentle gust of wind spent its force lightly against the cloth near-the owl, causing it to move apparently impatiently and anxiously; Mrs. Little an nounced that each one was to be blindfolded,- giveiL aiLeyevith a pin in it, and was to attempt to restore sight to the owl. The cou ple placing the eye in the most correct position was to receive as a reward, the - privilege of sitting in the beautifully decorated corner, "The Cozy Corner." Mr. James Shuford and Miss Kate Burgin were the ones who showed their superior ability in doing things blindfolded; and as they disap peared in the "Cozy Corner," the old owl, with eyes on his toes, on his chest and wings, and someH Fresh Christmas Goods!

Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach, which he claims to prove with his new medicine, is being given more respect and comment every day. Cooper claims that 90 per cent, of all ill health is due to stomach trouble, When Interviewed about his theory re cently, He said: "Stomach trouble is the great curse ot the 20th century so far as the civilized races are con cerned. Practically all of the chronic 111 health of this generation Is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. "To be sure, there was sickness in those days, but it was of a virulent character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are afflicted nowadays. ? "I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength. This weak ness has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus In perfect shape. The sole reason for my success is be-. 0CQOOOOOO 1 Pay Your Debt We are opening a new set of books and don't want to transfer any 1907 accounts.

That Is why I. have had more people come and thank mo wherever I have) gone to introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with." Among the immense numbers 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 instant 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 feel 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 know: about them. Lincoln Drug Co. Last Years s o o o o o o Drug Co; Drug Store
