Last Saturday Mrs. Annie

THE COMMONWEALTH CLUB.
Rooms Have Been Fitted Up In The
Trust Buildlnq--Will Have Buffet
Department.

The Commonwealth Club,
which has been talked of for
some time, is now a reality, and
rooms have been nicely fitted up.
on the fourth floor of the Trust
building. Everything is fixed up
quite cozily; the reading room
and library card room, billiard
and pool rooms, and buffet room
with kitchen attached, all present
a very dainty appearance.
The various club rooms have
already been opened up, and are
being literally patronized by the
members. The buffet, however.
has not yet been thrown open,
but in a short while the members
can step into it for lunch. An.
experienced cook and caterer is
to be engaged.
The Commonwealth originated
from an idea of General Julian
5. Carr and of the old Chamber
of Commerce, whenssvera times
they made an effort to have a
club feature. An entrance fee
of $50 is charged, and other dues
to keep up the running expenses.

o. E. Holmes, the deaf-mute
journeyman printer, is now CON-
positor on the Recorder, a posi-
ton that is his for good. He
practically sets up nearly all the
reading matter of the paper, and
is very also handy at makeup
and on ads, besides first-class
Job work which he can turn out
in a jiffy. Until recently he was
a member of the Sun force.

The merchants discussed at
length the condition Of business
in the city, and everything was
reported to be in excellent shape.
Collections show a decided in
crease, and to all appearances
We are rapidly recovering, if not
5already from the recent panic.
The organization of the mer-
chants is stronger this year than
ever before, and they are doing
an effective work. II will be re-
membered that just recently they
took action against the Norfolk
and Western Railway in regard
70 the unjust freight rates given
Them. They have often appear
ed before the corporation COM
missioner TO give testimony of
Unjust rates granted them in
comparison to those rates given
70 Virginia merchants. They
have done everything in their
power to secure fair treatment.
Our merchants seem to be very
much pleased with their hopeful
Prospects, and are getting a
hustle on themselves to make the
coming year one Of the best they
have yet experienced. From the
ong list Of officers and the num-
rous committees il is evident
hat they intend to transact busi-
less. With almost every mer-
fhant Of the city enrolled as q
member Of the organization, they
an accomplish a great deal.

their working capacity, and at
the earliest date possible the two
places will be connected. Man.
ager r. L. Peters. who is look
ing after the lwork personally,
assures US of that. s"
The history Of the road is fam
iliar to almost all of us. 1t is a
SIS. 600 turnpike given the coun-
ty after the failure of the bonds
to be. voted last year in a general
election. The matter came up
this springbefore the county COM
'missioners, and they turned the
work over to Mr.. r. L.. Peters,
who began the work several
months ago.
To complete the macadam on
the road and construction of the
bridges. it would have required
almost a year. SO Mr.. Peters has
decided to double his force of
hands, and also purchased a new
roller and crusher on Wednesday
from Mr.. A. p. Gilbert, repre-
S senting the Kelly-Springfield
Road Roller Company, of Spring
field. Ohio. With the additional
help secured and with the use Of
the new roller, the work on the
road will be rapidly pushed to.
ward completion. Mr.. Peters
hopes to finish by the middle Of
January; he is required to com.
plete two miles per month.
The cost Of the macadam over
the road will be about $4,000,
but the whole expense to the
county will approach SIS, 900.
The.cost of the seven bridges
will be in the neighborhood oi
SIS, 600, thus making a total cost
of something like SIS, 900. The
construction of these bridges
will be turned over to another
company, the Carolina and Con.
struction Company, of Burling.
ton. Those, including one bridge
of two hundred feet, another Of
seventy-fve, and the remaining
FIVE smaller ones will be con-
structed of concrete, the plan OF
making steel spans having been
abandoned.
Work on the road has already
been finished up to the place for
the first bridge. Mr.. Peters, al.
though he has been interrupted
on account Of delay Of the bridge
company, has made remarkable
progress, and will carry out his
part of the contract. The Caro-
lima Company are experts in the
bridge line, and will possibly
complete the construction Of the
bridges shortly before the road
work is finished.
With the rapid progress now
being made, we will soon have
occasion to rejoice. This road
has long been needed by our
farmers, and it Is hoped that
Roxboro and Durham in the fut-
ure will stand even more closely

the trouble was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have good ap-
petite, then again could not bear the
sight of food; she was restless at
night, had 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 up trying any,
thing else, when we began to read Of
Cooper's New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jes-
sic 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 grow better
each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr.. Cooper, your medicine is worth a.
thousand times more than you charge
for it. I know of a number of people
troubled the same way 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.
1cine. We are agent for it in this city.

PECULIAR PROPERTIES
OF new MEDICINE
Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tention by Expelling Internal
Parasites.

The interest created in leading cities
during the past year by young Mr..
Cooper with his new preparation, 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 i'll health, and it is an
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 i'll health. He claims that few
can have 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 the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as rule as.
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car.
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of large parasite by Mr..
Cooper's preparation during his stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr.. Cooper, the mother said: j.:

old, has been suffering with this
trouble for over seven years. Until
