On liz Success Depends.

Mexico people should burn Mex
leo coal. Mexico laborers are en-
ployed to mine our coal. Let us
assist home enterprises of all kinds
and help our merchants by pa
tronizing them whenever we need
anything. You can buy as cheap
here as anywhere. People send off
for articles and pay just as much as
our merchants ask them. Why is
this? Mexico merchants do not
advertise as vigorously as it would
pay them to do. A progressive, re-
liable business man will admit that
the more a merchant advertises the
more business he does.

GROVER CLEyELAND's ESTATE.
1t Has Shrunk Considerably Since His
Inauguration.

New YORK, October 23.-When
it was first rumored among a limited
class OF persons in New York that
Grover Cleyeland's personal pecu-
mary affairs were not in a flourish
ing condition there was general in
credulity. When Mr.. Cleveland was
inaugurated he was worth, over his
liabilities, about $500, 600; less than
that sum rather than more. This
consisted of real estate unincumber-
ed; a bank account amounting on
March End to some 81, 900, stock in
a street railway, and a snug sum,
stated to be $50 900, invested in
bonds and mortgages in New York
and Buffalo.
Shortly after Mr.. Cleveland's cleo.
ton he changed entirely the nature
OF his investments. No considerable
amount of his fortune was SO placed
that 1t might be affected by his Off
cial actions. In order to avoid even
the appearance of evil the President
elect had all his securities disposed
Of, and the proceeds invested in
such a manner that no official poll
cies of his could either increase or
decrease their value. This was
simply following a precedent set by
all Chief Magistrates, President
Harrison having done a similar
thing shortly before his Inaugural
ton.
But when the cares of his Office
began to weigh upon Mr.. Cleveland
he found it entirely impossible to
attend to his personal affairs. The
real estate, for lack of management,
yielded no revenue, and the stocks
were not holding their own. The
President never owes much money
$4,000 would pay his debts and
more almost any time-but the scale
upon which he lives and the losses
he sustained through his invest
ments have left him poorer by a
good deal than when be entered the
White House last March. 1t is
stated upon an authority which
leaves the assertion open to no dis
pute that Mr.. Cleveland is worth to-
day barely $25O,0OO, and his salary
is being spent as fast as it comes in.

BAPTIST CHURCH DEDICATED.
ss,oO0 Subscribed by Those Present
a. the Morning Meeting-Rev. j.
X. Harrison Preached q Splen-
did Dedieatory sermon.

The new Baptist Church in this
city was dedicated Sabbath morn.
ing, Rev. J.R. Harrison of Virginia,
preaching the ~dedicatory sermon
on Atonement to a large audience.
The church was crowded both in
the morning and evening, there be-
ing at least a thousand persons
present at night. The church cost
$4,000 and Sunday morning
there was a debt of 1900 on it,
which was subscribed by those pres
ent. The church Is now out Of
debt and is as fine church property
as there is anywhere in the state.
The protracted meeting, which has
been in progress at that church for
the past two weeks, closed Sunday
with 81 additions. This church
has had remarkable growth for the
past three years, during which time
Rev. A. E. Rogers has been the
pastor. When Mr.. Rogers came
here there were 1913 members to
this church and to-day there are
1928. In addition to the sixty
one who joined the church during
the late meeting there we're a large
number of professions. Thoos who
protested religion but did not join
will unite with other churches in
this city. The members of this
church and congregation, and es-
pecially the pastor, are worthy of
the warmest congratulations on
account of the splendid work &C,
complished.
