Cooper, Texas, May 24, 1917.
To Review Readers of Cooper:
I wish to explain why I have not
been seen by you but very little for
a week.
First, a week ago today, May 17,
1 went in company with the Worthy
Matron of Cooper Chapter No. 21!1,
O. E. S., to visit Lake Creek Chapter
No. 441, at a called meeting to con-
fer the degrees of the order on can-
didates. Arriving there about 10
o’clock and making a few calls on
relatives and friends found me at
the residence of the Worthy Patron,
elect, and will be when installed, my
successor in that office, where we
partook of a sumptuous dinner. At
2:30 p. m. we went to the Masonic
I hall and were heartily greeted by
| about twenty bright O. E. S. sisters,
who appeared delighted to see u».'
i After meeting, mingling and gossip-
! ing for the space of about half an
I hour the Worthy Matron called to
| order and the chapter was duly open-
ed as is their custom with a beauti-
him a few days before he started to
the camp and we doubted that he j
would ever get there but now he
looks almost the picture of health.
Very remarkable, indeed. We spent
the night with W. S. Chambliss, a
brother of H. II. Chambliss. The j
only necessary thing to say about ■
this was that Clark’s brother gave
him a cabbage head that was sound
and hard that measured 24 inches in
circumference and weighed 5 pounds.
Clark told us that his brother or-
dered the plants early in February
and set them out, 200 in number.
They all lived and stood the hard
freezes and they were a sight to see.
After returning on the following
Tuesday, May 22, we took the 7:05
a. m. train for Commerce to attend
a school of instruction of the O. E. S.
to be presided over by the Grand \
Worthy Matron of Texas. On the |
train we were greeted by six Eastern j
Star sisters of Paris enroute for the
same purpose, they were Mesdames. i
B. J. Jordan, M. N. Benson, J. A.
Gartland, Tom Fisher, N. O. Parker
We had a jolly
ful march and regular form. The an£l W. N. Manning.
Worthy Matron stated the object of time all the way to Commeice. It
the called meeting, and that two can- would be useless for me to try tell

MARRIED AT AMY.
In the Baptist church at Amy last
Saturday evening, Merrill Rattan led
to the marriage alter, Miss Roeda
Hollowell, Rev. J. W. Hargrove of
Cooper, officiating.
These young people reside in the
Hickory Grove community, 4 miles
east from the City, well known and
very popular among their associates.
The Review unites with their many
friends in extending congratulations j Our sympathies were very much
and best wishes for a life of peace, touched for him and his family,
prosperity and unalloyed bliss. | other visits are of very little im-
didates were in waiting and soon the
work was begun and completed with
satisfaction to the candidates and
pleasure to the chapter. Then they
had a most social meeting for a time
of which I will say nothing for fear
those few members who were not
present will feel bad, for the chapter
was fully represented by a large
number of enthusiastic sisters as
rarely ever assembled.
This Chapter has elected a fine
corpe of officers who will be install-
ed on the 31st of this month or as
soon thereafter as practicable and we
suppose on the first Thursday in June
their regular meeting. After the
close of the meeting we went to visit
our daughter, Mrs. B. F. White, and
spent the night.
In the morning Mr. White took us
on a tour of visits, only one of which
we will make particular mention,
that was Mr. H. H. Chambliss, who
is confined to his bed and is very
feeble, unable to talk above a whisper.
you haw royally we were received
and entertained but we will say that
it was the best and most satisfactory !
school we ever attended, not only in
the esoteric work but in jurisprudence
The Grand Matron, Mrs. Mable Lee
Eldridge, is a highly educated lady
well up on jurisprudence and parlia-
mentary law and we are sure she
will wield the gavel at San Antonio
i ext October at the Grand Chapter
with credit to herself and order.
We also met there our special D.
Deputy, Mrs. D. A. Saunders, of
Greenville, who will visit all the chap-
ters in Delta county during the com-
ing month. Sisters and brothers of
O. E. S. don’t fail to meet her and
you will be well paid for she, too, is
a bright stay.
I will close this by saying that
when we entered the train at Com-
merce for home we were accosted by
Dr. J. Ri Ratliff and brother, Mike,
on their way to Paris to see their
mother who is very feeble. They
were old residents of Delta county
and brothers of Judge Ratliff here.
They thought they would visit Coop-
er before returning home.

WASH GOODS
MODERATE PRICES
More women are buying
these fabrics now than at any
other time of the year. This
can be accounted for by the
fact that it is to be a wash
Goods season.
^ In the large collection of
these materials which we are
now showing are Percales,
Ginghams, Calicos, Pique,
Muslins, Cambrics and many
others in a wide range of de-
yyppL^ signs and colorings including
stripes, checks and dots.
These goods were bought
many months ago and we
own them considerably under the market-in fact,we can
and do save you from 3c to 10c per yard on nearly
every yard of cotton goods, under today’s market,
Better Buy Your Wash Fabrics Now
The government will be a big consumer of fabrics, and that dangerously lessens our chances of
getting good assortments. Prices are going up, too.
We therefore suggest that every one of our friends and customers will buy AT ONCE all of the
fabrics they will need for many months to come because there is no telling when we will be able to
offer such good assortments and such good values again.
These extremely moderate prices are greatly responsible for the many yards that we are selling
daily.

DISTRICT COURT JURY LIST.
a*
Headquarters for Walking Plows, Wheel Plows
and Plows for Light Tractors
I Below is a list of the petit jurors I
' for June term of 8th Judicial District* I
court:
Call on us for anything you want in the way of
farm implements. Ask to see the
John Deere Light Tractor Disc Plow
and notice these features:
The John Deere Disc Plow for light tractors meets the unusual
and severe plowing conditions where disc plows are used. Two set-
tings of the discs take care of all conditions of plowing.
Plenty ot clearance between the discs. This great amount of
room prevents choking in trashy ground.
High frame with disc beams sloping downward gives great clear-
ance for woik in trashy la,id.
Furnished regularly either as a three or four-disc plow. The
three-disc can be converted into a four and the four-disc can be re-
duced to a three.
High-speed chilled disc bearings. Discs revolve freely in both
trashy and hard ground.
The hitch has a wide range of adjustment, both lateral and ver-
tical, thus enabling the successful operation of the plow behind any
tractor sold.
Levers can be operated either from the land or the seat.
The John Deere Light Tractor Disc can be set to cut 8 1-4 inches
per disc or 10 i-2 inches per disc. This applies to both three and
four-disc plows.
