AS IT LOOKS TO AN OUTSIDER.
What Tennessean Thinks of
Gastonia and its People Ao
Industrious, Hustlin; and
Progressive Community.
Col. VV. B. Stewart, of Dun
lap, Tenn., who has been spend
in? the Christmas holidays here
with relatives, when asked by
The Gazette man what he
thought of our town replied
that it is one of -the most pro
gressive communities he has
seen anywhere. Colonel
btewart is a well-known young
attorney of Last Tennessee and
is in close touch with the indus
trial, social and political life of
the Volunteer State.
Speaking of Gastonia he said;
"This is one of the most
progressive towns it has been
my fortune to see in a long
time, evinces a healthy growth
and shows a commendable pub
lic spirit.
"The first thing which at
tracts a stranger's attention any
where is the schools and
churches. There can be no
'substantial town without both.
This you have in Gastonia. Es
pecially in churches, your
town is far ahead of most towns
of its size
"The many mills around
shows that your town is push
ing forward with the character
istic energy of the other towns
of the cotton belt, and has a
greater number of cotton mills
than most towns of its size.
This shows that the town is
fully awake and has been hust
ling for tbe.se industries, while
some of her neighbors have
been asleep.
"Few people realize the great
importance of the South as a
manufacturing county, es
pecially as to cotton factories.
With the opening up of the
Panama canal we have a foreign
market for all goods that is al
most unlimited. You cannot
begin to calculate the money
which will come to us
for these goods. Your towu
seems to be alive to the situa
tion and will grow with rapid
strides along the lines already
beirun.
"Your town does not need
diversified industries so much as
the thorough development of
the cotton business. Make this
your specialty. Get more mills,
make all kinds of cotton goods
and you will do well enough.
"With your many natural
advantages for this character of
business, with the progressive
.spirit of your town your sue
cess tor tne luture is assurea.
Gastonia should and I believe
will be one of the best towns in
the?State within a short time."

REAL ESTATE DEALS.
Gastonia Insurance Realty Co.
Buys Tract of Land on New
Hope Road Other Deals.
Last week the Gastonia In
surance & Realty Co. made sev
eral transactions in Gaston dirt.
notwithstanding the fact that it
was Christmas week and bus
iness dull in most all lines.
One of these transactions was
the sale of the Ed Berry place,
in the Union neighborhood.
which this company purchased
recently at a-commissioner's
sale. It was sold to Mr. J. B.
Biggers, of York county, SC,
who will build a home ani move
his family there to reside.
This company also sold to
Messrs. Craig and Sloan Rhyne
a house and lot on Second street.
A purchase made by the com
pany was that of a tract of twen
ty-five acres of land south of
town on the New Hope road.
There is always more or less
doing in real estate circles in
Gastonia but the fact that, at a
dull season like the present and
right on the heels cf ao-called
panic, property sales are active
speaks much tor financial con
ditions and prospects in
t'.i.ia.

The interest created In leading cities
during the past Tear by young Mr.
Cooper with his new pre pant tion, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
Quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr. Cooper believes that Internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon
sible for much ill health, and it is i
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
of all ill health. He claims that few
can hare poor health with a good di
gestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels tne parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie BIrdsaJL daugnter of
Mrs. Ida Blrdsall, Irvine at 2138 Car
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
.relieved of a large parasite by Mr.
Cooper's preparation daring Tils stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr. Cooper, the mother said:
"My child Jessie, who is fourteen years
old. has been suffering with this
trouble for over aeven years. Until
this morals C14 sot k&OT vb&t
the tronblo was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have a good ap
petite, then again could not bear the
eight of food; she was restless at
night, bad a bad breath, especially
when she got up of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were Just
on the point of giving np trying any
thing else, when we began to read of
Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago va purchased this medicine. Jes
sie has been using it regularly, and
this morning -this parasite left her
system. I don't wonder that she has
always felt bad. and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tapeworm
I feel sure that she will giow better
each day. and enjoy perfect-health.
Mr. Cooper, your medicine la worth a
thousand times more than yon charge
for it. I know of a number ox people
troubled the wammjnr as Jessie has
been, and I certainly expect to tell
them personally to try your medicine.'
we would advise anyone who has
been troubled for some time with gen
eral poor health to try this great med
