Health is good Crops are below
the average, but still there is plenty
in sight to live upon, and cotton
picking commences in earnest next
week, the price opening at 512c IN
the seed.
Much of the cotton crop is making
full yield while some fields will
pick less than half crop Early corn
will make less than half an acreage,
while late fields will reach the aver
age yield,
The festive occasion of the Chero.
kee stamp dance has Just closed here.
During the year that is just passed
several of these an Gent rites have
been observed by the Cherokees on a
small scale, but the one Just closed is
the annual stamp dance, and is not
locally confined, but the occasion is
celebrated by the entire tribe, and
MANY persons come from more than
a hundred miles for the purpose of
stamping around and chanting war
like songs to flames from the huge
stacks Of logs piled in the CEN
ter of the ring around which parade
the descendants ofthe copper-colored
Cherokee.
The stamp dance is one Of the few
remaining rites preserved by the
Cherokees in memory of the days of
long ago when their forest conclaves
were presided over by the chief, the
medicine man, the prophet and seer,
and the time will not be long till
this evidence of a savage race will
lie buried beside the broken bow and
the bloody tomahawk, for the
mighty march of civilization, organ
lied and supported by the onward
trend of the Anglo Saxon conqueror,
has impressed even the red man
with the sternness and the reality of
life, and has stricken from his hand
the feeble rod by which he sought so
long in vain to rule by foolish rites,
So far as we know the stamp
dance has no greater significance
than to indulge in an exercise that
revives the memory Of the day that
is dead. For among the copper col
ored crowd no longer mingles the
medicine man Of the ancient creed.
He has gone, and with him the
gloomy chief. Gone too the prophet
and seer. No birch canoe now slips
the rapids or the rect, No wigwams
stand like phantoms in the moon
light No silent footstep stalks the
deer. No more the dripping steel
shears through the scalp of those
whom Heaven made to rule.

Just What He Wanted.

A young minister settled over a
small country parish was instructed
by his parishioners to procure piano
for their use He did so, telling the
dealer to charge the kll for rental to
the secretary Of the $parish. When
the bill amounted to SOS, the society
being unable to pay it as well as the
salary Of the pastor, the music dealer
dunned the minister for the money,
telling him that he assumed the re-
sponsibility. The latter replied that he
never assumed the responsibility of
another, having all he could do to pay
his own bills, whereupon the dealer
threatened to sue him.
A short time after our friend re-
ceived letter from New York col
lection agency, to which as well as
several following he paid no atten-
ton until the following short but def
mite letter came:
Dear Sir-Unless you remit at once we
shall publish you all over the country as

unwearied Life.

Why should we ever weary Of this life?
Our souls should widen ever, not con-
tract;
Grow stronger and not harder in the
strife,
Filling each moment with noble act.
If we live thus, Of vigor all compact,
Doing our duty to our fellow men
And striving rather to exalt our race
Than our poor selves with earnest hand
or pen,
We shall erect our names a dwelling
place
Which not all ages shall cast down again.
Offspring Of time shall then be born each
hour,
Which, as of old, earth lovingly shall
guard
To live forever in youths perfect flower
And guide her future children heaven
ward.
