 According to a New York newspaper "The Merry Widow" casualties so far are as follows:
 It has driven two musicians from the stage to the sanitarium.
 It has robbed an admirably balanced opera company of three brilliant mem- bers to become, we hope, not less brilliant wives.
 It has brought to male singer, hitherto unknown, 30 brilliant proposals of mar riage.
 It has made the orchestra leader believe in musical hypnotsm.
 It has reunited parted couples and kept ministers busy.
 It has labelled the biggest and most embarrassing hat that ever happened, which stopped one train and saved one girl from drowning.
 And then perus, these few scratches of the yellow pen in explanation thereof:

new THEORY SUCCESSFUL
IN INDIANAPOLIS
L. T. Cooper Makes Many Converts During
STAY in That City.

'Mr. B. F. Campbell, of 1924 West
Washington Street, had this to say of
his experience with Cooper: 4 have
been a victim of stomach trouble for
the past five years-slck and suffering
pain all the time. Everything I ate
distressed me. l have been under the
treatment of many physicians, and
have taken all kinds of medicine, none
of which afforded me relief. l was
greatly discouraged, and was about
ready to give up, when Mr.. Cooper
came to this city to introduce his
preparations.
"I was sEeptical, of course, after
spending so much money and taking
such large quantity of medicine, but,
like the drowning man, was ready
to grab at a straw, SO 1 secured some
of Mr.. Cooper's New Discovery medi-
cine and began taking it. 1t seemed
to help right from the first dose.
have been taking it for several weeks,
and can now eat heartily and enjoy
my meals for the first time in five
years-eat anything, without pain or
distress of any kind. feel like new
being-life is worth living now"

health is not all that it should be,

The new theory (backed up by his
preparatory advanced by L. 7.
Cooper with regard to the cause of
most i'll health of the present genera
ton is being sown broadcast by this
young man.
Cooper believes that the human
stomach has become degenerate in
civilized races and claims that good
health is impossible unless the stom-
ach is re-vitalized. This he claims to
do with his preparation.
An article from the Indianapolis
Star during Cooper's stay in that city
has this to say of Cooper and his prep
aration: Residents of this city are
being astounded by L. T. Cooper and
his new preparation.
Reports that preceded Mr.. Cooper's
visit here told of his success in other
localities, but the immense success of
his medicine and the general belief
in his theory was wholly unprece-
dented.
$50 great is the rush of the public
to this young man that people stand
in line waiting tn cir turn for hours in
an effort to gee hin. The most inter
esting feature of this is statements
made by reliable citizens as to the
actual accomplishments CT Cooper's
medicine. Among recent statements OF
this character the following is a fail

A Word in Regard to East Lurn-

For The RobesonlAn.
The many happy remarks,
the oft repeated tokens of Chris
tian gratitude and fraternal af-
lection idicative of peace, har-
mony and progress, lead us to
say that We are happy i'll our
work.
Than ours, we believe that
no pulpit has more righteous
reason for profound and sincere
praise, because it has a great
people, loving, sincere, hum
bic and responsive, to stand
before. We apeako of the six in
elusive, conclusive and re-
spectively that it is our privil-
eye to try each month to fill.
We could wish to be more
worthy Of such a high honor:
but such as we are, it. gives us
great pleasure to say that, "on-
ward and upward" are our
watchwords and the member
ship of each individual church
is interested in every cause be-
lieved to be dear unto Him who
stands as Captain of our Saliva
ton.
| Now, it is a common custom
even with families, to compli-
ment the baby, while no other
child is disparaged. So with
our churches. Weshould like
to individualize and say a lot
Of good things for each one
which could justly be said, but
We know that all are willing to
stand aside and let US devote a
brief space to the youngest
church in the Robson Associa-
ton, East Lumberton. We are
speaking in point of organiza-
ton. Berea is IS days the cid
er, and the work there assum-
ing such magnanimous proper
tons was little short Of a mir
acle; vet our East Lumberton
work has gone ahead of our
most fancied dreams, and we are
constantly rebuking ourselt
saving, 30 thou of little faith.
wherefore didst thou doubt?"
The membership is growing,
the Woman's Missionary Socie-
ty is active; the Sunbeams are
flashing their rays of resplen
dent beauty and grandeur al
over the community, and the
Sunday school increases in at.
tendance and interest.
Just here we bow our heads
in humble gratitude to thu

the hearty and generous sup
port continually received from
