Chester Reporter, July 20: One Of
the largest crowds that ever gathered
at Armenia was there yesterday for
the w. o. w. picnic, and everybody
reports a good time. Hon. D. E. Fin
ley, congressman from the Fifth dis
trict, and w. T. Slaughter Of Hickory
Grove, state w. o. w. organizer. were
the speakers, and were presented by
Hon. r. o. Atkinson. Mr.. Finley talk
ed about various matters Of national
legislation, while Mr.. Slaughter spoke
on woodcraft.. 900. Mr.. w. P. Timmie,
the we'll known contractor, died at his
home at o'clock this afternoon, fol-
lowing a stroke Of paralysis sustained
Monday night. DIR. G. B. White,
who takes an unusual interest In the
history Of Chester county and whose
intimate knowledge Of the subject has
been Of much profit to numerous indi-
viduals, has been in correspondence for
some time past with Prof. James w.
Cooper, Of Walla Walla, Washington,
who Is seeking information about some
Of his forbears. Some Of Prof. Coopers
ancestors lived more than a century
ago about nine miles southeast Of the
city Of Chester near the Peden's Bridge
road, and the land records Of the coun-
ty show that one, Hugh Cooper, died
in the year 1906 and that John Cooper
was his executor. Hugh Cooper had
two daughter, Mrs. Ferguson and a
Mrs. McGaughey. II there are any
persons in the county today who know
that they are descendants Of either OF
these two women, DR.. White would
like to be advised of the fact, 80 that
he can give Prof. Cooper the informa-
ton. Friends Of Mr.. ]. w. Wix and
family regret to learn that as soon as
they dispose Of the business in the
Valley they will leave Chester and
move to Winston-Salem, N. c., where
Mr. Wix closed a trade Monday with
Mr.. J. N. Davis for half-interest in
the latter's ladies' furnishings store.
Mr.. Wix Is offering his stock Of goods
for sale, and II he secures a buyer
promptly, will leave August 18th for
his new home. L. q. Mr.. John L. Tongue,
former member Of the county board of
registration, died suddenly last night
at the home Of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. o. w. Tongue, on Ashford street
