How Much Salary Do You Get?
That is a very Important question when you go to figure up
what your expenses arc and how much you will have .spent after
all necessaries are paid for. You probably need some few pieces
of furniture and after you have bought them of R. A. Jones you
will not have to pay for them only as you are able say at the rate
of two or three dollars per month. Consider this matter! There
are thousands of persons buying this way every day and you may
as well be getting the benefit of easy payments as they. If you
have never tried tills plan let me show you how easy it is to pay
for goods you really need and you hardly miss the money. You
can furnish your home at R. A. Jones and pay by the week or
month as suits your convenience.

Employees Furloughed.
Townslto Cmiimlsstoncr Holley has
received ollicial notice fivnn the In-
irlor depailment notifying him ot
the furlotighlug ot employees of tlio
commission. With the exception ot
the chairman and one clerk every one
connected with this work has been
furloughed Indellnltely. It Is stnted
that tho action of the department is
piobably duo to tho tact that the ap-
propriation with which to carry on
tho work Is running low. llowovor
the commissioner is reticent about
the mutter and naturally his position
p events htm irom discussing the
1 iratier.
j There Is mueh odds nnd ends -In
connection with completing tho work.
I Muskogee I. T. Nov. a;i. liiforina-
lion ennio from Washington today
that tho tuwnslte commissioners who
have boon woiklng In the Choctaw
("ilckasaw and Cherokee nations will
in; laid olf temporarily In December.
I The reason nsalgnou Is that there
is a shortage of the appropriation lor
' such work nnd that no lumU nru
atallable.
I There aro nine commissioners
three In each nation and their iliillos
into to schedule and nppralsu the rval-i-e
of lots In tho government town-
' siies.
Tli tiro are about '!UI) or those and
the lots In most or them have been
apiu alfced and sold. Thuru are about
six towns in tho Cherokee nation
which have not been appraised. The
iMinmlshioiiers will Mulsh up this
work belore their furlough hugliu.
