ton from the snow and cold. Get the
houses ready this summer for next
winter. If the house is already built
and has sufficient windows already, cut
a large, square opening in the south side
of the house and use the piece of wall
removed as a solid window to be opened
on sunny days, as in the case of the one
shown. 1t is thus possible to secure the
great advantages of an open scratch
ing shed in old houses. Where fowls
cannot get to the ground for months
during the winter, as is the case in
many of our states, such plan as this
is a necessity, if one is to secure winter
eggs and fertile eggs for spring hatch

blooded Mongolians. The Chinese are
found throughout the entire group,
but are most numerous in the cities,
there being 10000 in Manila. They are
the owners of the country and do the
bulk of the trade, being naturallymost
clever financiers. They, too, will play
an important role in the future of the
country. There are hundreds of
coolies employed in various occupa-
tions in the towns and interior, gen
orally Kings from South India, or
Canton coolies. These cannot be
classed as residents, as they usually
return home at the end of their term
of service. Whatever the future fate
Of the Philippines may be, or into
whose hands they may eventually fall,
one thing is certain, they cannot but
be bettered by the change. They GER
tainly cannot be worse off than under
the past misrule of the Dons.

To WHoN 1T MAY CONCERN:
We have been informed that
certain surveyors" are represent
ing to citizens OF the several tribes
in Indian Territory that it is nee
essary for them to have their lands
surveyed, in order to secure them
for allotment. That ii this is not
done, they viii lose their improve
ments, and are making other false
statements in order to secure en-
ployment.
The commission desires to in
form all Indian citizens that no
such expense to them is necessary,
and that, when offices are estab-
lished within the several nations
for selection of allotments, under
rules recently made by the secre-
tary Of the interior, it will be the
duty of the commission to see that
each selection of land is properly
described, and if necessary, to
cause survey thereof to be made,
at the expense of the government,
and any survey not made under
direction of the commission, will
not be recognized by it.

ques.i ion several times, how much it cost
Anderson County to arrest Chris Harris.
For tho information of some people who
think that ] had a good time running all
over the North and seeing the sights OF
the world at the peoples expense, l will
lust say that up to date Anderson Coun-
ty has paid me II dollar and sixty
cents! / am the little fellow who has
paid for that music, and ] have no re-
grets about it. or course, l have no
money to throw away, for the Sherif's
Office in this County don't pay near
what some people think it does. ! have
only done what ! believed to be my duty
as an officer, and I shall always try to do
tho same, or get out of the way and let a
man in that can. I have over two hun
dred dollars and a lot of lost sleep and
ana hard work in Harris, and no hope Of
any ever being paid back to me, unless
our Commissioners get Il real good spell
on them aud open their hearts some day
and hand me acheck for it, which | think
doubtful. Respectfully.
