FIELD NOTES.

The business of Muskogee has been
steadily improving and prospects now
leads the business men to look even
more hopefully TO the future. 1t is
stated by the citizens of Muskogee that
over two hundred thousand dollars
worth of capital is being used in the
erection of handsome buildings, such
as churches, business blocks, school
houses and residences. We see as the
ushering in of the fall seasons dawns
every citizen seems to be grati6ed over
the accomplishments of the past, and
the surprisingly bright future which
presents itself to this community. 1t
seems to me to be the beginning of
new commercial year The cotton
season generally opens the 1st of Sep
tember. The present crop is one of
great staples of the agricultural people
of the Indian Territory. This season
will prove the blue ribbon one i'll that
product. Real estate is a splendid in
vestment in Muskogee: those who make
investments will have no trouble in
disposing of the same at handsome
profit Mechanics and laborers are paid
good wages; good homes are being
built throughout the city. Every ad-
vantage desired by homeseekers can
be found 10 Muskogee. Four colleges
for the Whites, good public schools.

PieaSantOn Shot.

Editor Tribune: l see by the Fort
Scott Fairplay that the colored women
of Topeka have organized society and
sent out appeals for money, etc., under
the plea that it is to clothe the colored
troops Why, bless my soul, when did
Uncle Sam become a pauper? Every
soldier is provided with clothes and
food; in fact the soldier saves a consid-
cradle sum each year out of what is
allowed for clothes; we think there is
| considerable rot in this society to
clothe and feed the soldiers, and it
should meet with no encouragement
from our people. 1t is not patriotic to
say that this great government will
not provide for its noble defenders.
Topeka did at one time have an in
stitution that was worthy of the best
efforts of our people--we mean the In
dustrial school for colored children.
Surely, people who neglect an institu-
tion of this character lack the true es-
sence of charity. Our people need an
institution of this kind and the trxe
men and -xomen-cf -uuT oc1 would do
far more good in aiding the youth of
our land in becoming self-supporting
and planting higher thoughts in the
minds Of our young people than IN
aiding those who need no aid. We be-
lieve in our race, and we believe that
by teaching and impressing upon the
minds of the youth nobility of skillful
labor and the worth of education, our
people will be ready to hold their own
in this world, and to reach and grasp
the loftiest in life
Why should not our boys be taught
the trades? If we are men, we must
rise above the tide and not float on the
surface. Being satisfied with the po
sitions as walters and servants, hote
lackeys and boot blacks, will not raise
our race. Away with such foolish bun
comb; we love the soldier and are
proud of him, but we are not going to
give our hard earned money when we
feel that they do not need our aid.
If our people want TO do good, let
them gather the orphan children Of
our state and provide for them in their
youth and weakness, and fit them to |
become useful men and women and we |
can pledge them the earnest and cor
dial support of every true man and
woman of our race. Education is what |
our young people want. Build and
lay the foundation of an institution of |
this kind and the notoriety seekers of
Topeka will not appeal in vain for
help. IRA SMITH.

An Agreeable Surprise.

Sunday was an unusually important
day at the A. M. T.. church. in conse-
quence of it's being the last services of
this conference year. The morning, af-
ternoon and evening services were all
well attended, and Rev. Harrison ap-
peared to be at his best efforts in all
three sermons. In the evening there
was a crowded audience to hear his
farewell sermon, and at it's close there
seemed for a time thrill of genuine
spiritual revival throughout the congre-
cation.
A liberal collection was taken up, af-
ter which reports were read from the
stewards and trustees which approx
mated about 81 900 that has been raised
during the year by the members with
the assistance of friends. One of the
most pleasing features as mark of
apprecia tion for Rev. Harrison's finan-
cial efforts to liquidate some of the

address, thanking the members and
friends for their patronage, and ex-
pressing hope that his future minis
terial work might be far more prosper
Gus, if possible, than it had been
among his friends in Wichita. The
doctor was almost astounded, but man
aged to express his gratitude APPARENTLY

Next Sunday there will probably be

that some of the visiting ministers will

A BANANAS STORY.

My home is in Trinidad, an island
In the West Indies, and have relations
living throughout all tropical coun-
tries. | am an important fruit, and a
favorite with most people, as my flesh
is rich, and delightful to the taste. In
Tahiti our family have an acid flavor.
The plant on which I grow is from
fifteen to twenty feet high, and has
from twelve to fifteen long, ruff1ed
leaves At the end of nine months, a
purple bud appears in the centre
of the leaves; its constantly lengthen-
ing stem soon pushes it beyond the
! leaves, and it hangs down like a huge
heart.
AS the purple envelopes Of the bud
fall off, rows of buds are disclosed,
extending two-thirds around the stem.
Each miniature banana has a waxen
yellow blossom, with large projecting
stigma at the end The female flowers
come first on the stem, and nearer the
end are the smaller male flowers; both
contain much good honey During ma
turity the rows of male flowers wither
and drop off, while the ovaries of the
female blossoms swell into bananas.
There were several hundred of us on
our bunch, and in three months we
were each about ten inches long, wear
Ing dark-green coat. One fine day
the planter came along with his DON
key cart and proceeded to cut us
down.
1t was not very long before we were
carefully packed with straw in a ship,
and after a few days, landed at large
port. Here the railroad car awaited
us. Our bunch, with few others, was
left in country town, with a grocer.
During this long trip we ripened and
changed our green coats for bright
yellow ones; but if we had been left to
ripen on the plant, we should h"ve
been much more pleasing to the taste.
