Last Monday was not Washing tons birthday. We are led to be- lieve from history that George was born, similar to other kids, on the 22d of February, 1732, one hundred and sixty-five years ago, and still you hear people crying "Washington's birthday" every 22d of February, when It is only the anniversary, of the date upon which dear little George first saw the light in his parents home in Westmorelapd county, Virginia. In drawing upon our imagination We are apt 10 rate George in tbo column of som ething supernatural during his boyhood days. With out disrespect to tho Father of his country, we feel justified in saying that George was much af- ter the order of other boys-went fishing, "with spool thread for fishing lines and pended pins for hooks," had stone bruises on his feet, wore a ragged straw hat and patched pants. We never read of George smoking cigarettes or chewing gum, of tho manufactured variety, and it is not written that he ever rode bicycle. We heard of George once making it warm for Q cherry tree with his hatchet, but we failed to learn the variety of the tree.

which, has this season, been cattle. Next season conditions may change and it may be hogs or corn. To his fourth supplication for the. key to wisdom, "The Great Religious
 Weekly" takes.pleasure in stating that Tn order for any industry to enhance its value. in an intrinsic manner. and that to it's producer, IS through the established fact, that it only reaches that point through the agency of the spur competition. Two farmers have for sale half dozen yearlipgs of the same age, first farmer gets SlO per head for his, well bred while his neighbor can only screw bis little knotty, warty beasts up to S6. It costs no more to raise the s10 per head herd than the s6 herd, competition there. Mir. Jones brings dozen little measly, gapey, scaly-legged chickens to town and gets 8 cents q piece for them. Mr. Smith brings in the same number, and the same age, of sleek plump, large-sized Ply mouth Rocks and gets 20 cents q piece for them, cost of prod ction being equal. Competition-See !? Striving to excel, enhancing the producers happiness and that of bis custome CTS. Farmer Jones has hog twelve months old, of the long, lean, lank, razor-back varie- ty, which after feeding S3 50 worth of corn, turns him out 175 pounds of pork-S613. Farmer Smith butchers shoat of the lm- proved variety same age, and re- celved the samo amount ot food. which returned it's owner. 250 pounds of pork worth sS.75. Smith can afford to "compete." To ahe fifth and last inquiry, relating to the disposition of increasing habi- tation, we will state that circum- stances will forbid the pleasure of our being present on that occasion and we respectfully refer "W." for information to our youngest great grandson, who will have charge of the paper on that date.

Washing. tons birthday, last Monday morn ing. Now it remains for the peo. Die to be sub jected to the monoto- ny of the railroad companies in hlndering and blocking the way 10 the construction of the little build ing from which so much comfort and convenience is expected by the travelling public. In this con- nection an object lesson has been taught the people from which here- alter members of the legislatures, who pledge themselves to the Hoest interest" of their constitu- ents. will be known by their fruits, !. e, their vote on any measure con- nected with railroads where the interests of the people are at stake.

There are about 400 chair facto. ries in the United States, whose annual output is about 36,000, 900 chairs. In view of these facts, it is necessary to know who does all the sitting. Many suggestions have been assigned as to their de- struction, but a writer in a New York paper, after figuring on fires, lights, etc, says there is no doubt that the percentage of destruction Is largely increased by the grand army of people who arc certain that one chair is enough for two persons, and 1t may be that this circumstance furnishes . complete unraveling of the whole mystery as 10 what becomes of all the chairs.

The Supreme court of the United States having decided that all slaves of the Cherokee Indians, living within the bounds of the B. l. T. at the time of emancipation or who returned within two years after and have since resided within the bounds of the territory were entitled to property rights equally with the Indians and under thls decision about a million a half dol. lars;were due the negroes, the long delayed, much talked of Freed payment was commenced at Hay den, a small town twelve miles from Chelsea, the nearest railroad point, last Saturday. Capt. James G. Dickson, who has made more Indian payments than any other man, and who aroused the ire cf q would-be dictator and editor of Vinita last fall, because he saw proper to mako part of the Shaw nee outlet fund payment away from Vinita, was selected as the person best qualified to perform thls duty, though a large number of well qualified gentlemen were appll- cants, IS prooi:that the "light was not turned on" strong enough by the "Punch and Judy" Just why the Indian slave should be allowed 10 share in the estate of his master any moro than those of the whites is . question to puzzle the mind of any fair minded man-except the judges of the Supreme court of the United States. The Indian Terri. tory negro is the most progenera- tive race on the face of the globe. according to their last census.
