once each month at which times the
public Is invited to come in and pur

have decided should be sold, as well
as having fixed a reasonable price

Buyers From Many States.
They come from Maine to Oregon
and from Florida to New Mexico to
buy these lands, for Uncle Sam is a
good advertiser, and today there are
more than a thousand prospective pur-
chasers driving over the country look

for sale. These represent the October
sales. There will be as many more

agent for sale. The agent investigates
the value of the land and whether 1t
is to the Indians advantage TO sell,
for the government still insists that
the Indian is ward, and then the
land is advertised for thirty days prior
to sale. These sales are given wide
publicity throughout those sections
where farm land is high and farmers
are seeking locations where they can
get more land for less money. The
Indian agent is preparing now $4,000
bulletins announcing these sales, the
regulations governing them and de-
scriptiye matter which will be sent
to the land and irrigation congress in
Chicago, Nov. 10, and the land show"
to be held in Pittsburg. Oct. Il TO 29
Titles Are Perfect.
The title that goes with these lands
is absolutely perfect. The Indian agent
has been selling land under this sys-

upon the land by the patent the In.
dian cannot independently transfer his
land, neither can he place a mortgage
len upon it.
The unallotted lands have never
been transferred since the government
granted patents to the tribes nearly a
century ago, and the deed that the
purchaser OF such land will get will
be a patent direct from the Indian
tribe to the purchaser, which elimi-
mates all possibilities of error or cloud
upon the title.

from 100 pounds or more and given a test

Baking Powder is not by-product or side

nothing else. 1t has been our sole work for
20 years.
Consequently our combined ability is
directed in producing the very highest grade

Club testiies to our success. We could
charge more for it and get it, but l cent an

Acreage to Purchaser Limited.
The land will be sold under certain
regulations promulgated by the de-
partment of the interior, but which
have not yet been made public. How
ever, no one person or corporation
will be permitted to purchase more
than GiO acres of land. The land will
be sold in each county where there is
unalotted land, probably at the county
seat.
The government has placed an ap-
praisement on this land and this ap-
praisement represents the minimum
price that viii be accepted for It. II
no one bids, the appraised value, the
land will not be sold at this time. The
appraisement runs from one dollar
to thirteen dollars per acre. This by
no means represents It's actual value
Most of the land is worth twice that
amount, but II shows that unless pur.
chasers run the price up themselves
there Is a chance to get a lot of
good land mighty cheap.

1 In 1889 the Legislature OF the
State of Tennessee gave Ats acres
of the Hermitage farm (the home
of Andrew Jackson) to the Frank
0 ,atham Bivouac, the first charter
organization of Confederate
$idiers in the South, for Soldiers
Home.
The ladies of Nashville organized
and chartered what was known as
the Ladies Auxiliary to the Con-
federate Soldiers Home At a
dinner given by this Auxiliary in
May, 1892, Mrs NJ C Goodlet sug-
gested the uniting of all organiza-
1tions of Southern women into one
grand body, to be known as
Daughters of the Confederacy.
This suggestion was taken up by
the newspapers and brought prom
inently before the public. Mrs
Goodlet also wrote letters to every
organization, of which she could
hear, and to number Of proml-
nent women in the South, inviting
them to mees in Nashville Sep
tember 10, 1894, for the purpose OF
organization.
Only three States sent delegates
to this meeting: Georgia, Texas and
Tennessee.
An association was organized
known as the National Daughters
of the Confederacy," and Mrs Good
let was made president.
March 80, 1895, by call of the
president, the association met in ex-
.traordinary session to amend the
constitution. At this meeting there
were delegates from Nashville,
Savannah, Wilmington, Charleston,
and Jackson chapters.
The Atlanta chapter invited the
association to meet in their city in
November, 1895, at which time the
name was changed to United
Daughters Of the Confederacy."
