INDIAN WOMAN
Who Passed Through Here
70 Years Ago.

Without doubt the oldest Chero.
kee living so far as all the old timers
know is Mrs. Ollie Thompson, who
resides on her farm near the little
postoffice of Oaks, about fifteen
miles north Of Talequah, in the. Cher
okee Nation of the old Indian Terri
tory. Mrs. Thompson is full-blood
and speaks little English, but she is
well educated in Cherokee and reads
and writes her own language in the
alphabet invented by Sequoyah. She
was born in 1901 in east Tennessee
and is consequently 10S years old.
Her son in-law, all old missionary
among the Indians, acts as her in
terpreter.
When asked how she knew she
was that old she laughed and an
swered that when she came West
with the Cherokees in 1888 she was
80, and had daughter as tall as she
was and sons that came TO her shout
der. Her father was man of infu-
ence among the old Cherokees back
in Tennessee and was one Of the wise
men of the tribal government.
She we'll remembers the time when
the Cherokees left Tennessee under
the escort of United States soldiers
and how reluctant they were to come
West. The leaders of the tribe were
bribed by the white men for pit
lance to consent to the removal of
the Cherokees and most of the tribe
always looked upon that act of the
leaders as an act beyond the scope
of their authority. The Cherokees
of Tennessee at that time had their
homes and stock and farms and were
living peaceably and happy when
word came to them that they would
nave to move.
In moving West the Cherokees
passed through this part of Ken
lucky and stopped several days in
aopkinsville. Several of them died
here and were buried on the banks
of Little River in the eastern part Of
the city.

rious band of night riders passed

HERE'S A WAY TO

Physicians Give Free Advice

May Profit.

It's matter Of general interest

Especially is this true of the chill

by a winter of unnatural manner of
living because of ill-considered food
and much tine spent indoors
Spring comes with its sunshine. its
fresh vegetables and all invigorating,
but the children are in no condition
to receive natures remedies.
Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician
told them when he was first called
in consultation. All good family
physicians say: "Give the children
Castoria. Healthy parents know
this remedy of old, for they took it
themselves as children. 1t was
more than thirty years ago that
Castoria made a place for itself in
the household. 1t bore the sigma
ture of Charles H. Fletcher then, as
tdoes to-day. The signature is its
guarantee, which is accepted in
thousands Of homes where there are

Much is printed nowadays about
big families. DR.. William ]. Nc
Cram. of Omaha, Neb., is the ia
Their of one of these much-read
about families. Here is what he
says:
las the father of thirteen chill
dren l certainly know something
about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience l
have, in my years of practice, found
Castoria a popular and efficient
remedy in almost every home"
Charles H. Fletcher has received
hundreds of letters from prominent
physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say
they use Castoria in their own fam
lilies but they prescribe it for their
patients. First of all it is a vegetabl e
preparation which assimilates the
food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleep
ing, and Castoria looks out for that
too. 1t allays feverishness and
prevents loss of sleep, and this abso-
lutely without the use of opium,
morphine or other baneful narcotic.
Medical journals are reluctant tc
discuss proprietary medicines.
Halls Journal of Health, however
says: Our duty is to expose danger
as record the means for advancing
health, The day for poisoning limo
cent children through greed or igno
rance ought to end. To our knowl
edge Castoria is a remedy which pro
duces composure and health by regu
llating the system, not by stupefyinl
lit, and our readers are entitled t
