A Prominent Business Man.

The we'll known warehouseman,
Mr.. D. Y. Cooper, of Henderson, was
numbered with the visitors to our town
Monday. We believe it was his first
visit this year, and we were pleased to
see him looking so we'll. Although
getting little bald he is still the same
handsome, wide awake. hustling D. Y.
Cooper, and ranks among the mos: sue
cessful business men in the old North
State. He has achieved great success
as a warehouseman, which is not
equalled by that Of any man in North
Carolina. He works for Henderson
first. last and all the time, aud is in
the front rank of every enterprise that
tends in the least to build up the town.
He is also a worker for the farmer
and always takes extreme pleasure in
seeing that every one who sells to-
bacco on his immense warehouse floors
walks off with the cream of the mar
ket on all grades Of tobacco, which are
always in demand on the Henderson
market
Mr.. Cooper informed us that he was
selling more tobacco than ever before
within his long experience in the ware
house business in Henderson which is
drawn from every tobacco territory.
He remarked to US that he had a hest
of friends III his old home county,
Granville, among the sterling farmers
to whom he extended a warm welcome
when they visited Henderson. and al
ways made it point to get the highest
possible averages for all grades of their
tobacco when spread out on the Cooper
warehouse floor-Oxtord Public LEDGER

Rev. JuniuS w. MilIard.

1t was our pleasure last Sunday to
hear Rev. J. w. Willard preach an ad-
mirable sermon from his pulpit in
Eutaw Place Baptist church, Balti-
more. Both as a man and preacher
Mr.. Willard is greatly admired and
popularity esteemed, and easily takes
rank among the ablest and most elo-
quent divines of the Monumental City.
AS talented and worthy son of North
Carolina and one who has added lustre
to her name abroad, we feel proud Of
him and it was very gratifying to hear
the many kind and complimentary
things spoken of him by the good peo-
pie Of his congregation and others Of
his Baltimore friends.
Messrs. j. H. Bridgers and Henry
Strause were interested listeners at the
morning sermon, and at the conclu-
sion of the service Mr.. Willard and his
sister Mrs. Jones held quite a levee
with their Henderson friends both
agreeing that the sight of US made them
real home sick for the place and people
they had come to love so we'll during
their stay here.
1t will be gratifying to Mr.. Millard's
friends to learn that he has entirely re-
covered from the throat trouble from
which he was suffering some time ago
and is enjoying good health and look
