When YOU get Ia the valley of Chel-
sea. / t., you will see large banner
0 flag floating to the breeze, bearing
the name Of the man who has made
the most wonderful success in the
Cherokee nation Of all others, aud
although his time is up. he is still
here. The farmers Of Chelsea and vi
entity are reaping harvest; they are
getting goods at living prices since his
return and to see the people crowding
to his store, and each one carrying a
sack of Skinner 4 Ratclifl's choice
tiour, It would look to a passer by like
he was doing the trade OF the town.
Ills implement house and hay barn is
the largest one in the territory, be-
sides he owns blocks q aud 2S, all but
3 lots, which is the best part of the
town. lie is carrying a stock of 3l5,-
600 in goods and has all kinds of farm
machinery, which he is selling to the
farmers on easy terms. When
farmer comes TO him with anything
to sell he finds Blackwell paying the
highest price for it, and selling goods
at the cheapest price The success Of
this man is beyond human conception.
lie came to Chelsea four years ago
with fifteen cents and to-day has
twenty-one miles Of pine lumber and
wire fence, enclosing 5000 acres of the
finest land in the Cherokee nation.
His expenses for labor run into thous-
ands each year, and TO add TO all Of |
this. Black well is burning kiln Of
brick. 1t is said they are to build a
tine brick on lot 3, in block 2S, tor a
banking house, which is to be the First
National Bank Of Chelsea, /. T., and it
Is whispered that Mr. a. j. Blackwell
Is to be president. The farmers may
well say. "Hurrah for Blackwelll2' as
he is the only man who ever brought
prices in their reach. Come one and
all and take advantage of those low
prices. Mr. Blackwell's intentions are
20 sell goods for cash, and to loan out
II the bank money TO all his customers
1t low rate Of interest, so they can
1ay cash, and not have TO pay so to 100
Der cent, for goods. BlackWell's idea
$ excellent and will be the thing for
.he farmers. A. j. BLACKWELL,

TIE NENSIN BRIEF.

| Senator Jones admits that he and
his colleagues did not accomplish as
much AS they wished, at the Monetary
Conference. But the discussion has
done a vast amount Of good to the
cause, and jnst'ies the hope that
when the Conference shall meet az ain,
next May, something decisive will be
done for silver.
Charles Foster, Secretary of the
United Stat s Treasury. says that the
gold reserve wi be maintained. This
will not suit our free coinage friends
who charge that all hi metallists are
goldbugs; but it is nevertheless the
only way in which silver eau be mains
tanned, as q money metal, under exists
ing circumstances.
James G.. Blaine may be dead, by
the time this reaches our readers. The
great statesman was surely sinking, at
last accounts, and was not expected
to live over day or two.
The Worlds Fair will be open on
Sundays. That may as we'll be con-
sidered settled. as an injunction to
prevent its closing has been applied
for on the ground that the park in
which the Fair will be held is public
property, and no right exists to debar
the people from it any day OF the year.
The Government directors will
recommend that the U. P. debt be
extended for so or 100 years at 2 per
cent. per annum interest. This is an
excellent propostion-for the u. P !,
as almost any business man would
gladly see the time Of pay ment of his
debts extended over such a lengthy
period ut such low rate OF interest.
Queen Victoria, aged 70, is study
ing Hindostanee. Her studies are not
so lacking in interest as they nigh,
otherwise be as her teacher is a sturdy
young fellow n years of age. who is
almost constantly with her. He
attends her in her apartments, drives
with her everywhere, AMI the two
seem inseparablr. Perhaps the old
lady would not be such an apt pupil
even with much more learned but
aged professor.
Joe Goddard has posted forfeit of
S3ooO with the sporting editor Of a

sire to fight Corbett. Goddard de
clares he will fight for $4,000, or

event OF Corhett's refusing the chall>
