The Old Band.


It's mighty good to git back to the old town
conslderin' I've Becn away twenty year and
since i moved then. to Kansas of course sec a
change.
A-comin' back, dnotiee things that's now to
me aud strange,
Especially at eyenln' when yer new band fell
lers meet
In fancy uniforms and all, and play out on the
street.
What's come of old Bill Lindsay and the sax
horn fellers; say?
want to hear the old band play.
What's come of Eastman and Nat Snow, and
where's War Barnett at
And Nate and Bony Meek. Bill Hart, Sam Rich
son and that
Air brother of him played the drum as twicet
as big as Jim7
And old Hi Kerns, the carpenter; say, what's
become of him3
/ make no doubt, yer new band, now's COM
petenter band,
And plays their music more by note than what
they play by hand,
And stylisher and grander tunes, but somehow
anyway,
Iwant to hear the old band play.
Such tunes as AZ John Browns Body and
Sweet Alice, don't you know7
And "The uamels is A-comin',p and " John

And dozen others of 'em " Number Nine"
and " Number 'Leyen,u

of heaven,
And when the boys 'ud saranade, I've laid SO
still in bed
I've even heard the locus blossoms dropping
on the shed.
When Lilly Dale" er "Hazel Dale" had
sobbed and died away; -
Iwant to hear the old band play.
The new band maybe beats it, but the old
band's.what said
1t allus peared to kind of chord with somepin'
in my head;
And while I'm no musicianer, when my blame

Nigh drowned out and mem'ry squares her

She won't her never will fergit, want to jes

And take aud light right out of here. and gil

To all who are interested in acquir-
ing a right in the Cherokee ma.
ton, the following will be inter.
esting:
When the Cherokee people lived
in their homes east of the Missis.
sippi river, the government Of the
United States took four census of
the Cherokees by blood. First in
1928, second in 1885, third in 1913,
fourth in 1854. These became
matters of record in the War De-
partment in Washington, ID. G.. In
eighteen hundred and eighty-four
the national council of the Chero.
kee nation by an act of ssid council
provided that all whose ancestors s
names appear on the Cherokee
census rolls can establish their citi-
zenship by establishing their line.
age from said ancestor.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch of
October "a, has the following:
"Tahlequah, |. T., Oct. 24.-lt
has inst leaked out here that a gi-
gantic scheme is on foot by certain
leaders of the Cherokees to allot
the Cherokee st.ip to citizens of
this nation. Ex- Indian Agent, r.
l.. Owen, a half breed Cherokee.
and very wealthy, is at the head Of
the project, and has been secretly
at work on the scheme for several
months. The plan is to have alaw
passed at the approaching session
Of the Cherokee legislature to allot
the entire strip to citizens of the
Cherokee nation and issue them
individual patents To their pro rata
share. 1t is believed by so doing
that the land can be held without
much trouble from the government.
a few months ago such an idea
was not in favor, but so well has
Owen worked his rabbits foot
among the Cherokees that the pro.
ject is now prevailing sentiment
among all classes Of Cherokee citi-
zens. Owen has been at work
writing to several Cherokee new =
papers and travelling through the
nation and talking up his plan.
Three of the papers referred to now
openly advocate an allotment oil
the strip in this manner. Owen is
a shrewd lawyer as we'll as poll
tician and his idea is to get the
land allotted to Cherokees with the
privilege of selling their part il
they desire, and then he will en-
rich himself by buying up claim'
at small figures.
The legislature meets here No
vember 2, next, and this will bC
one of the first things to attend to-
but whether the United States gov
ernment will allow the allotment
by the Indians is yet to be seen
The matter is creating much inter
est here just now, and further de.
velopments in that direction will
be watched for eagerly"

A NmwspAPrR Mnnr1No.

A meeting of the Indian Terri
tory Press association was held
last Friday at Caddo and general
reorganization took place. Mr.. +.
a. McAdam Of the Chickasaw
Chieftain, Ardmore, was elected
president, Editor Schenck of the
Caddo Banner vice president, B.
s. Smiser OF the Atoka Independ-
ent secretary, j. w. Baldwin Of
the Muskogee Gazette treasurer.
An executive committee consisting
of II. T. Miller of the Purcell Top
ic, +. G. Hubbard of the Phoenix
and M. e. Milford of THE CHIEF.
TAIN was also elected. A consti-
tuition was adopted and all arrange.
ments perfected for an active,
working organization. The first
Friday in each April was named
as the time of the regular annual
meeting, the place to be nominated
by the president and ratified by
the executive committee.
Elaborate preparations had been
made by the citizens of Caddo for
the entertainment of their guests
and banquet was spread at the
Nail hotel which will not be sur.
passed in variety or in excellence,
in this territory, for many days to
come. But il was not only in this
direction that the people of the
town showed their appreciation of
the visit. In whatever direction
the gentlemen of the press turned
there was someone at hand to antic-
ipate their wishes and minister to
them. Caddo is not as large as ST.
Louis, but her people are giants in
generosity and hospitality and
when a us. Court is wanted down
there they can command the In
dian Territory Press to give them
"lift."
