Cuba shows an immigration of
20,21 tin 1904, as compared with
1.8,1111 in 1903, says an exchange.
As to nntionality, these immi-
grants comprised 16,175 in 11*04-,
and 10,(81 in 1903: Americans
1.202 and 1,124; English. 338 and
388; Italians, 274 and 247—to-
gether with a few Gern ans,
French, Mexicans and S) ruins, in
both years. That the population
and Affiliations of Cuba will con-
tinue to be Spanish, largely,seems
to be indicated by these figures.
A meeting of the stockholders
of the Waxahnchie Cotton Mills
was he'** there last week, at
which a cash dividend of 10 per
cent was declared, leaving a bal-
ance of $42,000 surplus to be in-
Tested in improvements, etc.
Since beginning operations the
mills have made annual earnings
of 13 85 per cent, though the div-
idend heretofore has been ex-
pended in improvements, increas-
ing the facilities of the plant. I he
value of the mills has increased
from |9f),000, the original cott.
to $141,000. Enough goods has
already been gold to take up the
entire output of the mills until
the latter part of next May.

only those fires where the loss ex-
ceeded $10,000, places the total
of destruction by the flames in
the United States and Canada at
6252.334,050. The Baltimore fire
alone oontnbuted 170,000,000 to
«be total. The fires at Toronto
and Rochester added 115,700,000.

Do Not Suppress a Cough
When you have a cough do not
try to suppress it, but romovothe
cause. The cough :s only a symp-
tom of some disease, and tho dis-
ease is what you should cure,
then the cough will stop of itself.
The most common case of cough-
ing is a cold. Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough, and
preparations containing chloro-
form, opium, etc., are used for
that purpose, but they do not
cure the cold. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy on the other hand
does not suppress the cough, but
relieves it by removing from the
throat and lungs the mucus which
obstrncted the breathing, and al-
laying the irritation and ticaling
in the throat. It also opens the
secretions and effectually and per-
manently cures the cold as well
as the oongb. For Sale by K £

Rev Carlisle P B Martin, L L D
Of Waverly, Texas, writes: "Of
a morning, when first arising, I
often find a troublesome collec-
tion of phlegm, which produces a
cough and is very hard to dis-
lodge; but a small quantity <«f
Ballard's Horehound Syrup will
et once dislodge it, and the trou-
ble is over. I kiuw of no modi-
cine that is equal to it,and it is so
pleasant to take. I can most
cordially recommend it to all per-
sons needing a medicine for throat

Kodol Dyspepsia Chi
what yn «sfc
About two weeks ago a gentle-
man of this citv, having large
business iuieiests, needed a good
reliable man for whom he had a
good position with opportunities
of promotion. A ceitain young
man of this citv attracted his fa-
vorable notice, but. before offer-
ing him the position, he made
inquiries concerning him. The
young man was highly recom-
mended as sober and industrious,
but it was found that he had run
a bill with a grocer in this city
and when asked for payment not
only had not paid, but now never
went near the man he owed, buy-
ing hi- groceries and spending his
money with other merchants.
That settled it—h« lost tho job.
He does not know how close he
came to getting a paying position.
And probably there are many
such cases as this. The dishonest
man who after securing credit
never attempts to pay his debts
may imagine that he is just that
much ahead, but is he? In the
first place he must have a mighty
mean opinion of himseif. And
then he gets a reputation that is
a powerful poor business recom-
mendation. Many a good man
gets in debt and finds it htrd or
impossible to pay out. But he
does not repudiate the debt nor
does he dodge his creditor. When
he has money to spend be spends
it with the man who accommo-
dated him and he tells him that
he has not forgotten the old debt
and will pay it if he is ever able.
No merchant ever harbors ill will
towards such a man. Pay your
debts, young man. There are
very tew business openings avail-
able to men who have the reputa-
tion ol running bills and then
failing to pay.—Exchange.
