 of Industry CORONA IS PROSPEROUS Indian Head Mills and the Mines Make 1t an Inviting Place for Invest
 pent of Capital.
BY FRANK V. EVANS.

Y Cordova, April 30.-(SpeciaD- is quite transposition of scenery and of general environment, when one jumps from the Central of Georgia Railway, where it passes through the cotton and corn fields of East Alabama, to the branch of the Southern Railway passing from Birmingham to the Mississippi line on the west.
 In the first place the outcoming cars from Birmingham this way are always crowded and the passenger must enter a coach early at the car-shed in Birming- ham, if he expects to be provided with a seat, before fhe passes numerous mining towns along the way. Then, 100, the roadway is not so smooth as elsewhere in the state and 1t wends it's way along upon angles, grades and curves. which make the passenger quite satisfied with a not-very- fast schedule.
 What an immense feeder to Birming- ham and to the railroads too are these Warrior coal fields. And without them and the sturdy men and brainy capital ists, how could we have a Birmingham? From North Birmingham to point far beyond this the Southern and the Frisco roads have cut their way through the very hearts of the great deposits of black diamond; and quite near to each

other are numerous and quite thickIy inhabited mining towns; and each one of these is a perfect hive of industry.
 Great Systems lntersect.
 Cordova. in Walker county, is where the two great systems intersect; and consequently Cordova is quit an impor- tant town. Not only that but the de- posits of coal which are so rich at this point have drawn capital' from the east; and they have erected here the great Indian Head Cotton Mills with modern machinery and 27,472 spindles. It will be hard to find anywhere else in the uni verse a cotton mill site like unto this the tipper of the coal mill at the doors of the boiler room; and the company mining it's own fuel from it's own mines. How wonderful.
 Twenty tons ger day is consumed and at d minimum cost. It was this cheap fuel Idea that drew the great mill to the hills of Walker county and not the cheap cotton idea, for l am told that nearly all the cotton here used is brought from the Mississippi delta.
 The mills are located just one mile from the Warrior river and from that stream draws an abundant supply of water. by a thorough system of water works erect ed and owned by the same company.
 To China and Japan.
 These mills manufacture a grade of goods which for some years found a ready sale for exportation. Their entire product of sheeting, drills and flannels were shipped to China and Japan until the war between those countries inter fered with trade. Then again relations were begun which lasted until the pres ent entanglement between Japan and Russia, which has turned these valua- ble goods to the domestic markets. The mills consume about 900 bales of cotton ger annum, and give employment to @O people The houses for the operatives are neat. and cleanliness and order are Tn evidence on all sides.
 The late Col. Ben. M Long. who came to this section from Georgia early In the 70s and purchased vast acres of coal and timber lands in Walker county was the real founder of Cordova. It was by his foresight, public spirit and wisdom that capitalists were induced to estab- fish these mills: and that the town has builded to such importance. He lived here for many years and died at his homestead on hill near by. in sound of the movements of the machinery, of mines and mills, and the voice of these forest trees sang his requiem at the close of an active and useful life

A Cold in the Head or Throat Is AL most Certain to Develop Into Ca
 tarrh If Neglected.

~ ATARRH usually begins as a colo A in the head or throat and is neg
 lected until it becomes chronic; then it begins to dawn on the victim that he has catarrh. Unless he is very fool ish indeed he will not rest easy until the catarrh is entirely cured. Thousands pay no attention to it until 1t is too late.
 If Peruna is used the cold never be- comes chronic, and hence catarrh is pre- vented. But after catarrh has become thoroughly established, Peruna will cure it, but it will take much longer
 Men and women of national reputatio as well as thousands in the humber walks of life publicly endorse Peruna. Peruna does all that is claimed for 1t. If cures catarrh.

BIG SUIT FILED
 AGAINST RAILWAYS
MERIDIAN WOMAN WANTS $25, 1000 DAMAGES FOR DEATH OF HUS- BAND-LIvELY WAR BETWEEN THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES.

Meridian, Miss April 30.-(Special.)- Suit has been filed in the office of Circuit Clerk Cameron by Mrs. J. o. Autry, ern and Alabama Great Southern rail- roads for $25.OOo damages for the death of her husband, William L. Autrey.
 The plaintiff alleges in her petition, that her husband came to his death as re- suit of a collision between trains of the defendant roads at Kewanee, near Me ridian, on March s. 1904, and further al- leges that his death was due to the neg ligence of the company through its opera tor. who allowed the train on which the deceased was employed to go out on the road and come in collision With the other train, thus causing his death.
 This is the first suit filed in connection with the Kewanee wreck in which five persons were killed and their bodies burned. Autrey was fireman on the Southern Railway train.
 A lively fight is promised between the local branch of the Cumberland Tele- phone company and the independent con- cern which has secured franchise from the city to operate telephone system. Assistant General Manager Leland Hume of the Cumberland company of Nashville. Tenn, was here yesterday. and it is learned that he held a confer ence with the manager Of the local branch regarding improvements to,I be made here in the near future, which will embrace a change from the present sys- tenn to the central energy system, doing away with the ringing up Of central

lively and healthful competition to the commissaries. The town is incorporated and Dr. J. M. Miller is mayor. There is here located and sustained an excellent public school which is absolutely free. There are no saloons in Cordova, but there is a dispensary, which yields quite a handsome sum, 40 per cent of which amount goes to the schools and 50 per cent to the general fund of the city.
 Four churches flourish here, Baptist, Methodist and Christian, and each has a comfortable house of worship. The town is furnished hydrant water and electric lights from the plants of the h. dian Head mills.
 As stated Cordova is in the very midst of the Warrior coal fields. In the very town itself are several coal mines and many close by. The Alabama Coal, Min eral and Lumber company the Cordova Coal company, and w. A. Grays mines, besides the Indian Head mines, are in active operation right here. There are two botels, the leading one being the "Cordova Hotel" owned by and formerly called the Indian Head Hotel" It is now excellently managed by MT. T. B. Slussel.
 Valleys Have Rich Soil.
 The little valleys around Cordova are rich in soil, and the farms. though small.
 
 for all they produce in the way or corn. cotton, vegetables. fruit poultry and eggs and the writer is informed that prices for these range at Cordova close ly approximating the Birmingham market.
 This country is still well timbered and number of saw mills are doing a profit able business. Much poplar in the rough state is daily shipped from Cordova.
 The Indian Head mills begun operation in 1897, and have been successful each and every year. The capital of the com pany is $GO0000. The officers are Arthur Amory of Boston. president; Harcourt Amory of Boston, treasurer; Scott Max well of Cordova. general agent. To MT. w. M. Stokes the efficient paymaster. the writer is indebted for information. MT. Stokes is a young South Carolinian. who has occupied his present position since the mills were first started.
 Cordova is only thirty-three miles from Birmingham. and it is worth trip here to see the uniqueness of the enterprises and their location.

Bprinu.. Yirae the Best Season of the
 <7 Year to Treat Chronic Catarrh.
Notwithstanding That Great Number of People Have Been Cured of Chronic Catarrh by Taking Pe-ru-na During the Past
 Cold Season,
Yet It Cannot Be Denied That the Cold, Wet, Stormy Weather Has
 Retarded Many Cures.
And, in Some Cases, Actually Pre-
 vented Cure.
<-PR1NGrIME has come at last. ant

PRINGTIME has come at last, and - now is the time for all catarrh suf-
 ferers to begin a systematic course of treatment for this disease. The great est difficulty in the way of treating chronic catarrh is that the patient is so liable to catch cold during the treatment and thus delay a cure.
 This liability at this season of the year is, in a great measure, removed, and no one should neglect the opportunity to take treatment.
 Peruna is acknowledged by everyone to be the only reliable and unfailing cure of catarrh wherever it may be To- cated When you take Peruna you are not experimenting with an unknown remedy.

 have used Peruna in our family for years and I am very pleased to say that 1t cured me of catarrh of the lungs when the doctors gave up all hope of my recovery. I used Peruna for six months and at the end of that time my cough had disappeared, my appetite was much better and l had gained ten pounds and looked the picture of health. l am in perfect health now and feel that Peruna not only cures catarrh. but builds up the system, and is therefore a grand medl- cine. Miss Margaret Fahey.
 The best cure or preventative known 10 the medical profession up to date for catarrh in all it's conditions is Peruna. During the uncertain weather of spring time 1t is an unnecessary hazard for any one to neglect to guard himself from talk ing disease, by taking Peruna
