suffered a total loss of about
$5,000. Ilis insurance policy
had expired just a few days
before.
“Alva Jones lost all of his
tools and equipment of his gar-
age, but fortunately, there were
no cars in storage at the time-
carried $600 insurance.
The hardware establishment
of B. H. Wiggins was also wiped
out, but a small portion of the
stiK k was saved. Loss, $3,000
with $801) insurance.

at the time and to that is attri-
buted no further spread of the
flames and the total destruction
of the entire business section
of the town.
b. C, Cassies’ business
house across the street and
south of the McKntire building
was pretty badly scorched and
damaged probably to the ex-

dam.'ige from broken windows
due to the intense heat from the
burning buildings and stocks
from the opposite side of the
street, but each of the firms
was provident enough to be pro-
tected by insurance.
“The origin of the fire is a
mystery, but up to this writing
no theory has been advanced.”
The same issue reported that
“The 62nd district court con-
vened in Cooper Monday morn-
ing with his honor, Judge A. P.
Dohoney, presiding.
“While the jury was being
impaneled, and as a prelimi-
nary, the court proceeded toun-
do the work of some ministers,
and thus the old bonds of wed-
lock were smashed into
smithereens.
“As with a rapid fire gun
there were four couples sent
in opposite directions with a
desire, no doubt, to once more
embark upon the matrimonial
sea.
“The jury for the week fol-
lows: H. M. Parker, Paul Lamb,

And, “Sheriff Freeman and
Deixuy Hud Maynard “winded”
a booze joint last Sunday even-
ing and with their ears to the
ground and nostrils sniffing the
breeze, were guided to the Stan-
ley farm east of Fnloe where,
under the sod a ten gallon keg
containing half a gallon of the
kind of brew that had caused
many an Indian to imagine that
he was dancing with his ances-
tors in the happy hunting ground
was brought to the surface,
transferred lo the waiting auto-
mobile and conveyed toCooper.

shine it seems was also en-
dowed with ears and a nose,

The October 15, 1920 issue
of the Cooper Review reported
“The bridge across South Sul-
phur River at the deep well has
been completed under the dir-
ection of Tom Arnold and is
being used extensively by the

The Review also stated that
“J. Doug Morgan is here this
week with his big tent show and
as usual brought us agood rain.
He is having good crowds,as he
always does, fur Della county
people are good patrons of the
shows and especially aro they
fond of the good tent show ”
Public Weigher John Boyd
reported the number of bales
of cotton received in Cooper
this season as 4,173 with prices
ranging from 17 1/2 to 21 cents
per pound.
And, “About two o’cock Fri-
day morning, fire was discov-
ered in the Vasco ginnery own-
ed by B. B. Jackson which was
totally destroyed entailing a
loss of $10,000 with $5,500 in-
surance. The cotton seed house
was also destroyed with several
tons of seed. The origin of the
fire is supposed to be lightning
as it followed the electrical
storm which had prevailed sev-
eral hours during the night.”
Under the heading “Dan Cu-
pid at the Old Stand” the Re-
view reported “The low price
of cotton does not effect the
matrimonial market as from the
following permits to tie-up is-
sued by County Clerk J. T. Tay-
lor, will show that Dan Cupid
is still doing business at the
old stand:
W. C, Cavanaugh and Miss
Laura Wright; L Harcrow and
Miss Grace Wheat; Roscoe
Ware and Miss Madge Pickens;
O. J. Florence and Louvinia
Files; F.ruest Wicker and Miss
Nettie Fletcher; Connie L. An-
derson and Miss Fula Kerley.”
Also, “In honor of Mrs. Jesse
Walker who is leaving here to
make her home in Oklahoma,
the Afflatus Club entertained
Tuesday afternoon with a
charming affair. The beautifiil
new O. W. Simmons home where
the party wasgiven was attract-
ively decorated with ferns and
roses.
“The members of the club
were in the receiving line and
Mesdames R. M. Walker and
Clovis Hooten directed guests
to the different rooms. After
all had arrived tally cards were
passed and partners matched
for rook. The rooms where the
tables were arranged were
pretty with various cut flowers.
“At the close of the games,
the menu committee served
salad, sandwiches and iced tea.
The club then presented the
honoree with a flower basket.”
And, “Miss Cara Phillips left
Tuesday morning for New York
where she will study music for
the winter season. She will have
as her teachers, Frank La-
Forge, and Rudolph Ganz. Mias
Phillips, artist pupil and as-
sistant teacher of Hans Rich-
ard and Moses Boguslawski,
is an accomplished pianist, both
in concert and accompaniment
work, and this course will add
greatly to her accomplish-
ments.”

This column of questions and anwsers on federal
tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public
service to taxpayers. The column answers questions
most frequently asked by taxpayers.
Q. Is it true that many stu-
dents with summer jobs may
qualify for exemption from
Federal income tax withhold-
ing0
A. Yes, many students with
summer jobs, retired persons,
and others working part-time,
may be able to qualify for ex-
emption from withholding by
filing a Form W-4E with their
employer. These forms are
available from employers and
many IRS and school place-
ment offices.
Individuals who qualify for
exemption from withholding
are those who did not have to
pay income tax for the pre-
vious year and do not expect
to have to pay tax for the cur-
rent year. These eligible tax-
payers generally will be in one
of three categories:
1. Single persons with an
annual gross income for both
the previous year and the cur-
rent year of less than $2,050
($2,800 if 65 or older).
2. Married individuals en-
titled to file jointly with a
combined income of less than
$2,800 ($3,550 if one is 65 or
older or $4,300 if both are 65
or older) for each of the two
years;
3. Individuals with unearned
income (such as interest or
dividends) who may be claimed
as a dependent by another
taxpayer, but have gross in-
come of less than $750.
Those who have a question
about whether or not they are
eligible should contact their
nearest IRS office.
Q. Will IRS publications tell
you about court decisions that
take a position on tax matters
more favorable to the taxpayer
than the IRS position?
A. Explanations and examples
in Internal Revenue Service
reflect the official IRS inter-
pretation of tax laws enacted
by Congress, regulations is-
sued by the Treasury Depart-
ment, and pertinent court de-
cisions. There are certain mat-
ters in these publications on
which some courts have taken
a position more favorable to
the taxpayer than the official
IRS position. Until these vary-
ing interpretations are re-
solved by higher court deci-
sion or otherwise, the IRS
must necessarily continue to
state the Service viewpoint,
Q. My maid is quitting next
month. Is it true that I’ll have
to give her a W-2 Form?
A. Yes. Under new IRS rules,
you must report total wages
paid (whether or not income
tax was withheld) and social
security tax withheld from
maids, gardeners and other
household employees. Nor-
mally, Jan. 31 is the deadline
for giving the employee her
W-2 form and for filing a copy
with the IRS along with your
Form 942 fourth quarter re-
port of social security tax
withheld. But if the employee
leaves before Jan. 31, as in
your case, you must give her
the W-2 form within 30 days
after her last payday. Include
a copy of the W-2 with your
final Form 942 return for that
employee.
For more details, see the in-
structions on your Form 942.
Forms W-2 will be mailed to
you along with your fourth
quarter return. Extra copies

NOTICES
From The City of Cooper
TRASH DUMPING
The Citizens of Cooper and Delta County are
urgently requested to cooperate with the City
concerning the dumping of trash and debris.
You will note that the City Dump grounds
have been cleaned up to meet the demands of the
State Health Department and the Environmental
Protection Agency at a substantial cost to the
City.
Signs will he erected on the grounds designat-
ing places to dump. (NO BURNING PLEASE).
The trash, debris and everything you leave at the
dump will have to be gathered up and buried. So
please use the designated dumping areas as it is
almost impossible, and very expensive, to gather
up the trash scattered over a large area. Remem-
ber it is your money we have to spend to meet
Health Standards.

cars must be removed from our City Streets. All

ODIS G. WATKINS, Mayor
can be obtained from any IRS
office.
Q. When will I receive my re-
fund check?
A. It normally takes 6-8 weeks,
but it may take longe*- if you
mailed your return near the
filing deadline. Delays will also
occur if the return is incom-
plete or inaccurate.
If you have not received
your refund or a letter ex-
plaining the delay within 10
weeks after mailing your re-
turn, contact your local IRS
district office.
Q) When should I report in-
terest earned on my Series E
Savings Bonds?
A) You should report inter-
est when the bonds are cashed
or report the annual increase

Rt. 3, Box 144
Cooper, Texas 75432
“Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but of incor-
ruptible, by the word of God,
which liveth and abideth for-
ever. For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the
flower of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower there-
of falleth away; but the word of
the Lord endureth for ever...”
(I Peter 1:23-25)
In the above scripture, as in
many other similar passages,
there is affirmed the perman-
ent eternity of Divine Revela-
tion. This is the eternal pur-
pose of God (Fph. 3:11), spoken
by God through Christ (Heb.
1:1-2) and revealed through the
apostles (John 16:13), which
shall not pass away (Matt. 24:35)
Consider some of the obvious
applications:
1. The word of God shall re-
main in spite of man’s indif-
ference. Felix was indifferent
to the truth (Acts 24:24-26); as
were the Laodiceans (Rev. 3:15).
The majority of our own gen-
eration tends to ignore the truth;
yet the truth will not cease to
exist because of man’s indif-
ference toward itl
2. The word of God shall re-
THF FTERNAL WORD
main in spite of man’s ignor-
ance to it. That man is ignor-
ant of the word of God is evid-
ent! Man seeks to justify him-
self by everything except the
word of God. But still the fact
remains that man is made free
from sin by this word, and this
word alone! (John 8:32) It is
this word which “saves”CJames
1:21; Rom. 1:16). The Word of
God is the “seed” by which a
person is “born again”. (I Pet-
er 1:23)
3. The word shall remain in
spite of the multiplied number
of additions, subtractions, and
substitutions made by men. If
the Bible requires what a man
needs to do, yet man is rebel-
lious, he will find a way around
doing what God requires. If the
Bible has not suited man, he
will change (preach differently,
etc.) it to suit his own conven-
ience. But the word of the Lord
remains eternally true!
Surely, no lesson can be more
basic than respect for the Word
of God. The New Testament is
the full, final and complete re-
velation of God to man (2 Tim.
3:16-17). By it we are saved,
and by it wc will be judged.
(James 1:21; John 12:48)
