Christmas.

There is no anniversary on the calen
and which brings so much true pleas
ure to all classes Of people in this great
Christian land, and fills SO many hearts
with genuine happiness as Christmas.
To the young especially, it is an occas-
ion replete with fulfilled anticipat'ons.
and to the old it brings up memories
rich in joyful "reminiscences. The chief
feature of its observance is the gift or
PRESENT making custom, and this has
become matter of stupendous signif-
cance from a mercantile and financial
standpoint. This feature of ift-making
is only typical of that one great
gift, of which the Savior is the
Antitype, which God made to the world
when He sent His only begotten Son as
a propitiative for sin.
We have other memorial days which
pass and leave only ripple on the
hearts of nell, but Danish Christmas
from the calendar, and the void would
be apparent and grievous. The joys it
brings are not measured by riches or
prodigaliiy. The lonely cabin on the
hillside, where few coppers, perhaps,
built the expenditure for loves t. 'sti-
monials may contain more genuine
heartfelt happiness than the million
naire's palace, where gratitude ard love
require the evidences of riches.

An increase of nearly SlJ0,000 in the
Holt county bank deposits during the
past six months, is a significant indica-
ton of the prosperous condition of our

The Indian Territory.

Mr.. Frank Lyon, who left here for the
Indian Territory, has arrived at his des-
tina,ion. NARROW. In letter to THE
SENTINEL he says he was four weeks
making the journey, encountering the
most sagreeable weather rain, sleet
and snow, and of course the worst of
roads.
He is about 200 mi es west and about
400 south of Oregon, making a journey
of about 800 miles from Oregon. His
route took him through Topeka, En-
poria, Cottonwood Falls, Wichita, and
crossed the line at Caldwell, and from
there to King Fisher, Fort Reno, into
the Chictssaw nation, and through to
NARROW. The only poor county he
passed through was in Kansas in the
Cottonwood Falls section.
Oklahoma beats any country l was
ever in. 1t is in no way corn produc-
ing section, but as for wheat it cannot
be surpassed anywhere. Wheat and
cotton are the principal products with
plenty of corn, but this is not so large
as up in Holt. The soil seems to pro-
duce most anything you put in to the
ground.> 1t is also great fruit produc-
ing soil,
Oklahoma, at least that portion trav-
elled by us, seems to have a prepondence
of Dutch. and "niggers." but the section
in which We are located have popula-
tion largely made up of people from
Texas. Arkansas and Missouri, and a
most hospiiable class of people they
seem TO he. This section give no en-
couragement whatever to the blacks,
and they insist on their going still
farther.
The station platforms are piled high
with cotton bales, each ranging from
iS0 to 600 pounds.
Most of the lands are leased from the
Indians for grazing purposes by the
large cattle syndicates
1t is very common sight to see from
/ 200 to | ,a0D acres in one SOLD corn

of corn piled up in the fields. Corn
