It will be observed from the
above totals that there is listed

Cherokee freedmen) 37157.
During the past year birth
certificates were received and
approved by the commission
aggregating 504 and proof of
death of 015 applicants who
died prior to Sept. 1 1902 for
whom applications had been
made and there is no doubt
but there is a large number of
people yet for whom applica-
tion was made and whose
names appear on the commis-
sion's rolls but who died prior
to Sept. 1 1902 and are there-
fore not entitled to receive a
distributive share of the lands
and moneys of the Cherokee
Nation but the commission is
using every precaution to guard
against tho practice of any
fraud in this regard by requir-
ing proof that a person is either
living for whom application
for an allotment of land is
made or if dead the exact date
of death of said person so as to
determine whether or not the
person is entitled to an allot-
ment of land in the Cherokee
Nation.
After Sept. 1 1902 the com-
mission began as expeditiously
as possible to make lists of var-
ious classes of citizens entitled
under tho law to bo placed upon
tho final roll as citizens of the
Cherokee Nation and send
schedules thereof to the honor-
able secretary of the interior
for approval. Upon these
schedules the names of 27033
citizens "including Cherokees
Shawnees and intermarried
whites appear and a separate
schedule of 2749 Cherokee
freedmen have -been listed and
approved by the honorable sec-
retary of the interior or a total
of $29882 citizens. There are
2992 applicants other than
freedmen on doubtful cards and
3108 Cherokee freedmen on
doubtful cards in which decis-
ions are being prepared by the
commission.

Patronage hangs on a
thread; that thread is your
satisfaction. Treat you hon-
estly and it's as strong as a
cable; abuse your confidence
and it may snap like a cob-
web. We are striving to
build cables; therefore we
handle teas and coffees
imported by Chase &
Sanborn. This name means
a great deal in these days of
cheap everything; it is a
name that brings you a
guarantee and satisfact'tcn
that no other line of tea and
coffee will produce.
