Let Them Come.
Last Monday we received a letter from j.
7, Miller, of Arkansas City, in which, after
subscribing to the Eouo, be says, "tf CON
gress does not open the Cherokee outlet strip
to settlement by spring, you may expect a
lot Of US fellows down among YOU BY April.n
We wish to say right here that we know those
Kansas boys, having lived among them for
more than twenty years and they are just the
fellows we need. Come right along, CherO
kee outlet or not; this is the place for you
and il you don't say so after a trial we would
almost be willing TO guarantee your fare back.
We can point you to a number of Kansas
farmers who came here about three or four
years ago with only few hundred dollars
who are worth today more thousands than
they brought hundreds. There are plenty of
chances yet but don't delay too long. No
chance for a crop failure here, No drought,
no grasshoppers and no overflow in this grand
parish 6OX64 miles in extent.
When you come bring with you some good
Kansas horses or mules (mules preferred)
and by all means let each family bring one or
more good mich COWS. Don't you believe
the stories they sometimes tell about northern
stock not doing well IN this country. Just
like individuals It needs little extra care
the first year until It becomes accllmated and
after that it is all right. Milk here sells for
ten cents per quart and there has never yet
been a time when this town had a sufficient
supply even at that price.
The children God bless them. Christmas
is always happy time for them. The Sun
day school children especially always have a
good time nowadays. Little do they under
stand the feeling that is almost akin to dread
that fills the hearts of some Of us who have
meagre incomes and large hearts, great de-
sires and little purses as we look at the
beautiful displays and try TO devise ways and
means to fulfill the expectations of each one
and still be able to settle up with the store
keepers and start even with the world at the
brgidning Of the year. There is no use talk
! ing, Santa Claus is getting to be almost as
dreaded a visitor as the tax collector.
The phenomenal increase Of the business at
this agency Of the New South Building and
Loan Association is attracting attention on
all sides. Two reasons may be assigned for
this rapid growth: First. the exceedingly
fair aud liberal terms it affO DIS those VIII"
wish TO build and the large interest paid to
stockholders; second, its model local officers,
especially the secretary P E. Chayanne, who
! is never too busy to stop and explain all the
! features Of the associations manner Of doing
| business. Call on Mr.. ChaYanne and invest in
n few shares for your wife or daughter for a
Christmas present.
It nay perhaps sometime dawn upon the
minds Of certain wOuId-be advertisers that
we mean what We say when we state that we
will not deyiate from our regular rates. We
refer to foreign advertisers who do sometimes
get space in papers OF little value at very low
rates. The Echo does not belong to that class
| Furthermore, we don't want any pianos,
organs, sewing machines, country hotels,
railroad stock, undeVeloped gold mines, or
any likeness Of anything that is In the heavens
above or the earth beneath in exchange for
advertising except money. Is this plain
enough?
The new passenger depo: Of the K. c., w.
& G. BY, at the foot Of Broad street is neat
and commodious. At present the freight and
telegraph Offices are also located here, but
| the freight office will be removed to the new
freight depot just completed, little further
west Mr.. Charles e. Kuester is the gentle
manly and accommodating agent and operator.
Mr.. Kuester has graduated from the s. P.R.R
office at Galveston, after a service of FIVE
years and Is thoroughly eonVersant with all
the duties of the position which he fills.
It was suggested to Mr.. VIM. Meyer the
other day by very practical business man,
who does uOt wish his name mentioned, that
be utilize the "settersn on his steps In front
of the drug store; the aforesaid b. m. affirm
ing that as Ineubstors they would be superior
TO any patent incubator yet invented. He
also suggested that after Matching com
menced, the settlers on the north side might
be used as "brooders," while the setting pro,
cess was continued on the east side. Thit
suggestion is worthy Of consideration.
The Rice Milling Company now have tive
warehouses filed with rice and are fast filling
up third. They also have over thirty carr
