J. W. Cook Suffers Stroke Paralysis. !
J. W. Cook , who Jlas conducted -
ducted a grocery storc just south
of the Secudty State bank for a
number of years , ntffered a strolce
of paral vsis 'l'ues a.y uigh t some-
'time , being discovered by his
son-in-law , ' 1' . II. Sharp , at about
9 o'clock yesterday morning in a
helpless condition in a room hc
occupied at the rear of the store.
Mr. Cook is 75 ) 'ears of agc an
has led a very active mercantile
lifc , having' bcen engaged in the
grpcery business for 51 consecutive -
tive years. He had not bCl'n
feeling well for several days and
uring his mdisposition occupied
a rOQJn at the homer of his
daughter. Tuesc1a > ' , however , he
felt better and decIded to remain
in his own room. At 9 o'clock
yest\.rday Mr. Sharp came up to
ascertain how Mr. Cook was feeling -
ing and finding the store door
loclted knew at once that something -
thing- was wrong. He wa 111
possession of a l ey and upon

able to articulate , on account of a
stroke of paralysis. Mr. Cook
.was at once conveyed to the Sharp

prevent his resuming business
