the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com.
which was submitted by President

held in Baltimore on Monday, shows a
slight decrease in a net earnings and
a large decrease in tonnage moved, the

crease Of s5.7Ia.I44, and the net earn
iugs were S5,94I,o73. decrease OF

S29. less than last year by S4oo, $50
The tonnage moved is I5.357I75,
which is less than for any year since
1880.
At the same time The total expenses
of the road were S22, 5oa, COZ. which is
a decrease of s3.48I, 292. Out of the
available income. after paying fixed
charges, dividends. and various in
debtedness. there remained balance
sufficient to pay dividend Of $500
900. or two per cent on the common
stock of the company for the six
months ending November IS. 1904.
In the mean time the work Of improv.
ments and betterments has proceeded
at cost Of over 81 900, 900, notwith-
standing the hard times and other
drawbacks. and altogether, consider
ing the business depression of the

that the company has already negoti-
ated in London terminal loan for s.
/ 500, 900, with proviso in the mortgage
! for another loan Of So. 500. 600. all of

 ''Perhaps you would not think so but a very large number of diseases in New York come from carelessness about catching cold,'' says Dr. Syrus Edson. Ut is simple thing and so common that very few people unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any at- tention to cold. New York is one of the healthiest places on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a great many cases of catarrh and con sumption which have their origin in this neglect of the simplest precaution of every day life. The most sensible advice is, when you have one get rid of it as soon as possible. By all means do not neglect it." Dr. EdsOn does not tell you how to cure cold bnt we will.

 The death of old man Jimmie Cross which occurred some days ago, was the occasion of much sorrow in this com munity. He was good citizen-was always attentive to his religious duties, and we fully believe he has passed to a home of rest.
 Little Freddie Cross very promis- ing son of Mrs. Mamie East man died of malarial fever about the 25th of February. Freddie attended school in Goodwin two years ago when Miss Mattie Bond was teaching, who said he was boy of the best principles He was also very popular with his school mates.
 A sad affair occurred in Goodwin on Tuesday last. Owen Henley and J. T. Walker, had a personal encounter in which Walker was killed. There are several reports about the cause of the difficulty and it is difficult to get the particulars. It is conceded that Henley was retreating and warned Walker re- peatedly not to advance on him. which he (Walker) continued to do. Public sentiment is that Henley acted in self defense.
