everyone Is interested In her good

ChlckaGha has good points-the
churches. the banks, stores, societies
and the Chamber OF Commerce.
The churches have helped the poo
pie TO come together: to unite them.
The ministers are always willing TO
help ChIckasha grow and have better
citizens.
Many banks in various places have

that not a good word for them, a

them; they are wei. protected and

them.
