last week contained the following in
reference to this road: "While over in

Capt. D. II. Sally invited us to take a
drive with HIM out to'the line where
the grading was going on of the new
Blackville and Aston Railroad. We
rode over mile or two Of graded por-
ton of the road, the work is being ac-
lively pushed forward, seventy-live
hands are steadily kept at work grad
ing. The road passes through fer
tile and level country and it will be
built at a minimum cost. Capt. Sally
is now engaged in laying ont the sight
for Il town at Five Forks and has al
ready sold several lots. AS there is a
prosperous back country surrounding
the proposed town, he expects the
place to flourish amazingly. There is
no doubt Of the road being built, the
grading for Is miles is being pushed
from Blackville and also from Capt.
Salley's and this much Of the road will
be ready for the iron by Jan. 1st. Capt.
Salley expects to see the iron horse at
Five Forks by March 1St. The road

IADvERTIsING.-No successful MEL
chant fails to advertise his wares. The
business men who have made the
greatest fortunes were the most liberal
advertisers. No investment pays half
as well as judiclous, attractive and i'll
cessant advertising in Il paper People
do not come unlimited anywhere and
purchasers require to be told at all
times and seasons where to 60 fOr bar
gains. Many kinds of advertising,
more or less expensive, have been tried,
but it is the firm and fixed conclusion
of all merchants of character and ex-
perience that there is no substitute for
the paper. It's said that New Workers
advertise more freely in dull than flush
times, but they never neglect, in any
season, to let the public know what
they have for sale or what they want.
Business has been reduced in New
York to a science, and advertising has
become the fine art.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--The house COM
mittee on territories yesterday heard
delegations of Indians representing the
five civilized tribes of the Territory In OPP
position 10 the bills for the organization
of the territory Of Oklahoma. The In
dams expressed general opposition to
these and all bills affecting their present
relations with the government. All they
wanted was for the government to keep
faith with them, and the organization OF the
territory of Oklahoma they claimed would
be violation of the treaty, Replying TO
ex-Representative clark's charge that
Oklahoma was now simply pasture
ground for cattlemen, they made counter
charges, in which they accused Mr.. Clark
and others, who urge the organization OF
the territory, of being in collision with
the Railway companies and cattlemen.
