Mlssissippl Indians.

NooDSlppl AHuiAnss
A government commission will visit
this State to inquire into the condition
OF the Indian tribes now resident in
Mississippi, with view to moving them
to the Indian reservation lands in the
West. There are about 1000 or more
Indians in this State, Choctaws and
Chlckasaws. They are located in the
counties of Newton, Noxubee, Kemper,
Scott and Rankin. Unless the govern
ment undertakes to coerce them, it is
certain that the Indians Of Mississippi
will not move to the West. They love
the soil which holds the ashes of their
sires for hundreds of generations
They can speak the language of the
white men and love to tell the tradi-
tions of their race, reveling in the de-
parted glory of their ancestors. Many
of the older Indians have formed warm
friendships among the merchants with
whom they come in contact.
To Investigate Indian Claims.
The members of the Dawes commits
sion who are coming to this State for
the purpose OF identifying the Missis-
sippi Choctaws who are entitled to lands
in the Choctaw reservation under the
treaty of 1880 made between the gov
ernlnent and the Choctaw Nation, are
expected to arrive at Carthage, Leake
county, on December 10Th and sit there
until the oath. From thence they &C
to Philadelphia, Neshoba county, sit
ting from December Goth to 5lst, in
elusive, thence to Decatur, Newton
county, sitting from January I'd to 7th
inclusive. The head of each family OF
some adult member of the family must
be before the commission at one or the
other of those places to give the com
mission such information concerning
the family as may be required.
