IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME DOWN IN CUBA.

Ed. Democrat:—l receive your welcome paper regularly—would be lost without it. I see no better way of writing a short letter to my friends in good old Jasper and Other counties and states as well, than through your columns. To give this part of the beautiful tropical country justice would take too much space in your valuable paper. In part will say I have good health and am doing well. My investment has doubled in the last 30 months. I consider that a conservative average of all that came here as I did. There are many opportunities open here yet for men of a few or many thousand dollars capital. The main thing to consider is, where and how to invest. Look out for clever land-sharks of, the rottenest sort. If any of my friends wish to come to Cuba for pleasure or business, I would be pleased to meet them and give them a few valuable pointers. The revolutions in Cuba are a thing of the past. I was over to Holguim and Santiago, De Cuba, of late. The U. S. quartermasters at each barracks state they have orders to evacuate Cuba on Feb. 27, which is final. The extreme temperature at this point for the last 31 months was 38 to 98 ip the shade. Yours, etc.

C. F. ARNOLD.
