A RECENT dispatch from Atoka, 1.
T., says: The Cherokces are hay ing
an exciting session at their council
meeting. The Governor, Chief Bushy-
head. and party are charged with
grave misdemeanor in securing three
hundred thousand dollars some year or
SO ago from the United States Govern
snent as per capita payment. 1t is
charged that to secure this sum. con-
siderable percentage of which went
into the pockets of leading parties in
the transaction, the claim of
the Cherokees to the neutral
land strip, northwest of the Cherokee
Nation adjacent to Kansas, was heavily
compromised, and it is now doubtful
if the Nation can justly and legally
prevent the United States from obtain
ing clear title to these lands. The
Bushyhead party denies that such
compromise was made, and that they
are true and loyal to the interests of
the Cherokees and entitled to the
gratitude of the people in securing
three hundred thousand dollars from
the United States Government to ena-
bic their people to buy provisions at
time OF great scarcity and distress.

Why Whist Promises to Become More Pop
ular With the Young Folks.
Two of our well known society young
gentlemen and two fascinating young la
dies, popular in social circles, met at the
home of one of the latter on Chapline street,
and during the evening game of whist was
INDUCED in. During the progress Of the
game the cards were dealt out, one, two,
three, four, a young lady receiving the
Jour spot. Now, according to the old and
accepted rules of the game one OF the young
gentlemen has the right to kiss the recipi-
emit of the four spot However, it was not
observed on this occasion, either on account
of the bsshfulness of the parties or because
they were not alone. The young gentle
man to whose lot this pleasant duty fell,
who, by the way, is q handsome blonde,
asserted that if such thing required he
would insist upon and claim his rights. The
other Young man, offered to bet him
$40 that he would not The bet was taken,
and the blonde young gentleman offered as
a premium to the young lady s. Of the
smount, which she refused, but he Insisted
and urged that she could devote the money
10 benevolent purposes and she yielded
Thus the compact was sealed and the play
went on. After events showed that the
agreement was not broken, but whether he
received his share Of the bet or the benevo'
lent cause its share could not be discovered
Whist will now undoubtedly have more at
fractions for the young folks, the gentlemen
in particular, and they are all diligently
practiclng the art of boxing the cards.

By this process Of saving be sccumulates
10 bis stocking 81, 600, say IN Eve years.
SO far a. he Is concerned. he pays the loah
10 the stocking or strong box in time, which
averages lust onehaf Of the time for which
he pays interest on $1,000. Consequently
If the loan Is for Eve years he pays Eve
years interest for money which he has had
the use Of for only an lsysage Of
two and one-haf years. If the loan is at
the rate Of s per cent. per snnum he
viii pay $500 interest, or really IL per cent
per snnum for the average time the money
is of service to him. If he does not hoard
the money In the manner mentioned he
viii never redeem his mortgage. There is
only one likely way and, that is by the drib-
let savings plan mentioned. The building
society when sound in financial condition,
furnishes the weekly and monthly plan aud
sllows profit on these savings, or dues by
the borrower deposited, in order to relieve
the poor man Of actually payingt2 per cent
per an mum when be imagines he is paying
but per cent. At present building society
borrowers are not paying over one-hah the
interest An ordinary loan costs if it is per-
fectly Just to consider that the cost of re-
paying is 9 factor in the calculation.
NOTES.
Wheeling has six active building sssocia-
tons.
There are twenty-seven active associations
in West Virginia.
There is some talk about organizing
State league Of the associations Of our
State.
One of our citizens bought two houses
last winter, borrowing the money from one
of our building associations. He receives
from them in rents each month nearly
double the amount necessary to pay his
dues and interest to the association. 1t Is
not often men can buy property without pay
ing out dollar.
The States Of Ohio and Pennsylvania
have building associations in almost every
county. In Cincinnati alone, there are
upwards of thirty while Philadelphia has
about double that number.
The Crescent and Standard associations
of Wheeling report good business. They
have from twenty.seyen hundred to three
thousand shares sold.
The Economy Building Association will
close its first year and hold its annual cleo
ton on the 3lst Of this month. They have
sold about $500 shares and are getting
from six to eight cents premium for their
money. There iS 20 premium on stock as
yet.
The Mutual will have its election and be
gin its third year on March 18th. They
have 5000 shares taken, and are getting
from twenty to twenty-five cents premium
for their money, with steady demand. The
stock of the Mutual is worth $l.2j pre-
MUM.
The Citizens finished its first year, last
Tuesday. The election will take place
next Tuesday evening, at which time, a
statement Of the year s work will be furnish
ed each stockholder. The association has
sold over three thousand shares, and has a
steady demand for money, at ten cents
premium. Its stock is worth torty-niue
cents premium. It's statement will show
Dit TO be in a very prosperous condition.
