Vinita's Big Stores.

1t IS doubted If there is so large a
per centage Of good stores IN any town
in tn United States. One OF the
reasons why this is the case is found
in the fact that until recently the
trading privileges were controlled by
the Cherokees exclusively, which has
had tendency to concentrate the
trade, and build up big stores. An
inspection of the offerings in any is
sue of THE CHIEFTAIN will show that
purchasers are not suffering in con-
sentence.

ost in the Mails.

J.M. Lining was in from Alluws
Tuesday and called to see why The
CHIEFTAIN, for which he sent soc
a few weeks ago, did not come. The
money never reached this Office, aud
the inference is that Bowers, the as
sistant postmaster at NUwata, who
has lust been sent to the penitentiary,
got the letter and its contents, as it
went through that office. Mr. Linz
ing states that several remittances to
the Kansas City Star met the same
fate.
