Cook was a Methodist in persuasion; claimed the Methodist Church as his church; was a firm believer in the Bible and its teaching and expressed in his last illness an unshaken faith in God and claimed the Savior as his Savior.
Cook was faithful to his duties,carefully and painstaking in his work; appreciative of the honors and obligations laid upon him by his friends and endeavord neither to forfeit the one nor avoid the other.
Cook was a hospitable, generous, high-toned gentleman; a friend to the widow and the orphan, a prominent Mason, a good neighbor, a true friend, a faithful public servant and a man who Copiah delighted to honor.
Cook had an easy victory, making breaks of 78, 64, 76, and 60, and winning by 357 points; and in the close of this year Cook played his first match for money with Roberts, Jun. Cook at the time was nineteen years of age, and Roberts twenty-one.
Cook followed with a 15, and presently the marker called them '29 all.' Then Roberts missed an easy kiss cannon, and Cook having the balls near the top of the table went away with a pretty break of 41, including six spot hazards.
Both were now very careful, and when at 370 Cook got away with a 28 his opponent succeeded with a 41, the marker shortly calling Cook 400, Roberts 404, the partisans of 'young Jack' being almost wild with excitement at this unlooked for alteration in the state of affairs.
