A GRAND REUNroN-A GOOD
TIME RXpnnTnn.


The cornerstone of the new fe-
male seminary will be laid with
appropriate ceremonies, at Table
quah, on tho 25th day of April
next. A hearty invitation to be
present at the occasion is extended
to all, far aud near. An old time
reunion Of the people for the pur-
pose of friendly intercourse, the
exchange of civilities, the renew =
al OF old friendship, the correction
of unfriendly and mistaken inn
pressions; q kind Of a general
"love-feast," where, for the tim e
at least, all scctarian and political
differences will be forgotten in the
more worthy and laudable efforts to
please and be pleased, is what is
wanted and what is expected.
People must know each other to
understand each other. Friend.
ships lasting with life, often spring
up between parties who were enc
mics or Indifferent friends at q
distance, on becoming acquainted
with each other.
Fathers and mothers with their
sons and daughters, and sons and
daughters with their sweet-hearts
failing out into generations, in
fact, everybody, irrespective of
race, color or previous condition, ARE
heartily invited to attend.
But right here, fellow citizens,
give ear to words of wisdom. Get
out search-warrant for the biggest
basket on the place. IT you have
none of capacious dimensions,
dry goods box will do-just so it
is big one. Kill a half dozen or
more of your fattest chickens. lfI
you have no chickens, two or three
fat turkeys will do. A fat shoat
wouldn't 60 bad, neither would a
nice ham or a quantity Of break
fast bacon, if you can't do any bet
ter. All of these things fried,
boiled, baked, stewed, broiled or
roasted "to a turn" hanked about
with cakes, pies, loaves of bread
with here and there a corn dodg-
er looking honest and home like
all of these things, and more too if
you can add to this bill of fare
bring with you to Tahlequah on
the 25th day Of next April. They
will be needed.
The most noted speakers are in
vited to spread themselves on the
occasion. Education, progress
and civilization will be twisted in
to n three strand strand cord that
will lift you to the moon, and by the
time you get back, you'll think
that you have not brought enough
and regret that you have spared
the old rooster.

THE CHIEF AFTER THEM.

Last Saturday Chief Mayes took
the mail hack at Tahlequah, en-
route for home by the way Of Mus
kogee. He wished to consult with
Agent Owen on various national
matters, in order to see his way
clearly in some administrative
work he has in view.
Last council the law providing
for the appointment of commits
sion to try claims to citizenship,
was SO amended that all residents
in the country by right of prima-
.faeie evidence and the or der of the
commissioner Of Indian affairs
may be summoned to appear be-
fore the commission to prove, if
they can, that they are Cherokees
by blood and entitled to citizen
rights in the country. The Watts
generation, who have been resi-
dents in the nation for q number
Of years, by order of the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, because of
primG.fdeie right to citizenship,
have been cited to appear. The
chief has been informed that Gov
ernor Watts, who seems to be the
head and front of this colony of in
truders, has positively refused to
honor the citation. He claims, il
is said, that tho Indian Office at
Washington has decided the Watts
case, and that il is as good as they
want. Their rights must be de-
termined, let the case go as il may,
for or against, and if they refuse to
appear, seyerer measures must
be adopted and enforced.
The question is, will the gov.
ernment of the United States in
terfere with the conceded authori-
ty Of the Cherokee nation to deter.
mine all claims to citizenship, or
with the exercise of that authority
in disposing ofthe so-called prima-
facie citizens of the country, who
refuse to comply with the order of
the commission They cannot re.
main here, assuming and enjoying
really more privileges than ac-
knowledged citizens, because they
are not subject 10 tho laws of the
country.
The authority exercised by the
commissioner Of Indiaa affairs in
ordering the undisturbed residence
Of persons on er paris evidence,
until he saw fit TO order or concede
otherwise, and then require the
nation to pay for the improvements
,f such persons should they fail to
establish their claims, is a sha me-
ul abuse OF power even II he had |
(, and which the supreme court of
he uailsd States decided he did
.ot have.
