What will the great METROPOLITAN ma

some one asks nearly every day. But
there is one which leads all others. IL
has gained the sobriquet of ''America's s
Greatest Newspaper" by just such re
markable pieces of enterprise as the one
which has just now attracted the atten-
ton of the press all over the country.
Last week the New York Sunday World
announced that it would give away an
album OF new and original music, con-
sisting Of ten of the up-to-date class of
songs that are now so popular, such as
songs of sentiment, coon" songs, cake
walks, etc. These ten sones the Sum
day World proposes to distribute. one
each week. with every cop OF the Sun
day World. When it is considered that
the average price of new music. written
and composed by popular authors, is
from 30 to 40 cents, the unparalleled
enterprise of The World in giving the
song away with a big Sunday newspa-
per- for which only five cents is charged.

LETTER FROM MISSOURI.

ULAH, Mo-, August 27.-Through the
kindness of Mr.. J. T. Watkins I am
furnished your valuable paper 1t is
more read than any paper received. 1t
brings our mind back to the days when
DIR. Fielding Peery first started the
CLINCH VALLEY News on its mission to
do good for our noble party in Sout.-
west Virginia. How we love to look
back to these days, when the first num-
Der of the paper came to our humble
home on the banks of Clinch river at
Richards. We were about the fourth
one on the first subscription list.
While we receive the Tazew well Rcpub-
lican, which is sent by Mrs j. +. Ratliff,
of your town, [ am often disgusted
with its abuse of the grand old party,
accusing us of SO much fraud, such as
stealing votes. etc Well do | remem-
ber the editors father, one of the good
and grand men of his day, and also his
uncle, w. p Cecil, " no passed over the
river but short time ago, who said in
the beginning of the sixties that a Union
man should be rode on a rail out of the
country. They all fell from grace-died
out of the true faith-and are gone
1t looks like prosperity has struck
northwestern Missouri. Such crops of
corn and grass, in fact vegetation of all
kinds, were never known here. We do
not owe it to McKinley-we owe it to
the sweat of the brow-to be gobbled up
by Mckinley and his trusts
Success TO our party in Virginia and
your excellent paper. l am proud that
you keep the low-down slang out of
your columns.
Mrs. Ratliff is my daughter so is
Mrs. Watkins. Yours truly,

A WORTHY CHARITY.
Appeal for a Christmas Offering for
School for the Blind.

To the general public:
In behalf of the pupils of this
Institution, in behalf of the many
who have knocked at our door for
admission, but whom we have
been financially unable to receive,
in behalf of the blind and deaf
mute Indians and whites of the
entire Indian Territory, we ear
nestly and prayerfully make the
following request:
That all christian people in this
land and country, and all persons
who feel an interest in the fur
therance and ultimate success of
this much needed work, make us
Christmas offering, either cf
money, provisions or supplies of
any kind. to aid in the further
support of this institution, and
we make special appeal to all
the ministers of the different de-
nominations who have charge
of churches in the various towns
and cities Of the territory and
neighboring states, to urge the
members of their congregations,
sunday schools and different
church organizations, to make a
self denial offering at Christmas
time, to assist in the carrying for
ward of this educational work for
the blind and deaf Indians and
whites Of this territory. "Cast
thy bread upon the waters, and
after many days thou shalt find
it" Give literally to this insti-
tuition, now, in its hour of great
need, and in the future when we
have succeeded in getting it upon
a firm financial basis, supported
by the government, you will dou-
bly, realize the truth of the scrip
ture which says, st is more bless
ed to give than to receive"

AcRosTIc.

The following poem was composed by Miss
Cherokee Parks. who viii be remembered by
a number Of Vinita people.
Mystic lady, earths fairest gem,
lntellects brilliant star
Stay. listen ponder. don't condemn,
Strive not my love to mar.
Gould my thoughts unfold to thee,
How much relief 'twould give,
Even though unheeded they might be,
Recollection bids them live.
Romantic visions are there engraved
On memories gilded sea.
Kind thoughts of thee are there enslayed
Ere longing to be free,
Enslaved by thee, angelic one
Permit them to be spoken.
All send me not away in gloom,
Reckless and heart broken
Know thou this much before we part
Supreme thou reignest in my heart.
