Vinita has no-concern and is not
in the least alarmed at the pros
perity Of other territory towns.
No other place enjoys brighter
prospects, nor steadier growth
and trade. Despite the lack oI
titles to land, and especially town
lots, this town continues to grow
as. rapidly as is consistent with
substantial growth. Vinila has
many attractions for the home
seeker and to the man Of business
OF profession. When the rush
comes we are very sure to get our
share.

Of marshals is no guarantee Of pub

The mate desire Of the Indian to
pow WOW is one Of the reasons why
the fullblood Cherokee has not
been enrolled by the Dawes com.
mission. They are a great people
for conventions and treaties. Not.
withstanding the fact the govern.
mert has not kept faith with any
Of its treaties they still like to
make them. II the Dawes com.
mission had the time TO spare to
meet representatives. Of the full
bloods aud go through the cers-
mony OF a treaty, perhaps they
would consent to be enrolled.
Through the Sunday schools and
in other ways there is, at the pres.

woman who aspire to be well in
formed. No education is complete
without a knowledge Of the Scrip.

a course Of Bible study in the
