BIG COTTON SALE.
& Rushin | Turn Loose
Richter
250 Bales at 15 1-2 Cents Per
Pound.
The biggest sale of cotton
ever made in this city was made
here this week when Richter &
Rushin sold to E. R. Pringle
250 bales at the comfortable
sum of 15^ cents per pound.
The lot netted Messrs. Richter
& Rushin a check for $17,328.-
53, the largest ever drawn upon
the Cairo Banking Cc. Earlier
in the fall the firm had two
checks on this bank, one for
$8,000 and another for $12,000,
but this last caps them all.
Messrs. Richtei & Rushin
have been actively in the cotton
market this fall and from this
source alone have realized a
nice little profit something like
$5,000.

ows whose husbands died in ser
vice or from disease or wounds
received therein, $182,400; to
indigent widows of soldiers,
$99,240. Aggregate for 1903,
$857,415, aggregate paid up to
1902 to all beneficiaries, $7,260,-
622; aggregate pensions since
1865, $8,118,037.

of $60 per annum, in advance,
for indigent soldiers and widows

ding to the character of the dis
ability, from $5 for loss of one

When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a
cold should be to relive the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the
free use of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. This Remedy liquefies
the tough mucus and causes its
expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs, produces a free expectora
tion, and opens the secretions. A
complete cure soon follows, This
remedy will cure a severe cold in
less time than any other treat
ment and it leaves the system in
a natural and healthy condition.
It counteracts any tendency to
ward pneumonia. For sale by
Wight & Browne.

considerable complaint from the
people of the towns along the
line who desired quick mail
communication, and in answer
to their request the car was put
on. This mail is due to reach
Cairo at 4:47 P- m - A pouch is
also sent west from here.

Where there use to be a feeling
of uneasiness and worry in the
household when a child showed
symptoms of croup, there is now
perfect confidence. This is owing
to the uniform success of Cham

the use of that remedy says: 1 4 1
