An article from the Nashville, Tenn, Banner, published during l.. T. Coop ers visit to that city, throws some light on the remarkable success of the young mans theories and medicines in various cities visited by him during the past year. The article is as fol- lows:
 ''In view of the enormous sale of Cooper's preparations now going on in this city and the intense interest which Mir. Cooper has stirred up since his arrival, a representative Of the Banner spent Thursday afternoon at the young mans headquarters, watch- ing the swarm of humanity come and go.
 "During the afternoon the reporter interviewed many of the callers and obtained statements from all who cared to give them as to their expe- rience with Cooper and his prepara. tlons.
 "The following are selected from those statements as being typical of the general expression of the people seen:
 "Mr. B. B. Lasater, living at 1224 North Fourth avenue, when inter. viewed, said: I have been troubled with my stomach for the past two years, and have had rheumatism for more than five years. Sometimes I could not walk, and there were times when I could not even move in bed. Hard knots would form on my mus cles, which caused me intense pain.

TIIE MISSION CAUSE.
8 Interesting Lecture by DR.. j. w.
Wolling in O'Neall Street Meth
odist Church on Sunday
Evening.

At the urgent invitation Of Rev.
MIR. Miller, pastor Of the O'Ncall
Street Methodist church, DR.. j. w.
Wolling attended that church on
Sunday night and lectured on the
mission cause. The congregation was
very large, it being necessary to
place chairs in all the aisles to ac-
commodate the crowd. The singing
was very good and the most undivid-
ed attention was given to the lecture.
After speaking about the prepara-
ton necessary III the home churches
to do missionary work, DR.. Wolling
hung up his large mission map and
spoke of the work Of the Methodist
church in the Orient and in the Latin
countries, such as Cuba, Mexico and
Brazil. Some touching examples
were given Of the need Of Gods word
and Of the gospel worker especially
in Brazil, where the lecturer had
worked for twenty years. Then was
given descriptions Of the natural
wonders Of that sub-tropical cline,
the enchanting beauty of the birds
and insects, and some facts as to the
s%erpents, especially the boa-coIstric-
tor. TO say that the lecture was tru-
ly interesting is mild praise, this be
ing evidenced by the undivided at
