The Headrick Herald has turned
up its little pink toes to the cold bleak
winds, and is now a thing of the past;
Oh lay it away
So young and so gsy.
And make its bad narrow and neat;
Where Willows will wave,
And Popies will bloom
And nothing be seen but its feet. *
And in mid-winter
When the hail and the slush.
Will cover its last little bed;
Dick Simpsou can take,
McFarland along
And visit the place with their sled.
An exchange says: Ten years ago
a farmer put his initials on a dollar
and went to town, spent it with a mer-
chant Before the year was out he got
the dollar hack. Four times in six
years that dollar came back to h i
for produ e and three other times he
beard of it in the pockets of his neigh*
hors pockets of his neighbors. The
last time he gat it. four years ago, he
sent it to a mailorder house. He has
not teen that dollar since, and never
will. Tha* dollar will never pay any
more school or road tax for him never
help build ud any or brighten the
homes of his eommunity He aeut it |
entirely out of the circle of usefulne 9
to hint.

With the passing of tribal govern
w*ot of the Cherokee nation there
will pasa out of existence in the Unit-
ed States, the Cherokee Advocate.
This newspaper is probably the oldest
west of the Mississippi river; having
been established in 1844 by W. P.
Ross, whoes wi ow lives at Fort Gib-
son. The Advocate is a curiosity.
It is printed half in English and half
in Cherokee, the Cerokee side being
ptinted in Cherokee characters. There
are eightv-five characters in the Che-
rokee alphabet, and on that accou t
a printers case of type is quite differ-
ent from that in English and is quite
a complicated affair. There are in
the Cherokee nation only five printers
who are able to set this Cherokee
type for the newspaper. They are I*.
W. Foreman, Carl Siar, George Wof-
ford, Joe Sequichie, and I). E Small*
wood. These five have a greater
monopoly than any union ot trust, but
they have been k.iown to strike.
Another peculiar feature about the
Advocate is that the editor and man-
ager has to worry about how business
keeps up. 1 he paper is a national
institution end is supported by the
nation, the council passing sasp;
priatton evetv year lor its support.
The paper is distributed free fo the
fullblood Cherokee who cannot read
English. There are 1,000 copies
sent to them ev ry week. In additi-
on to this however, there are hund-
reds of copies sent out over the Unit-
ed States as a curiosity This is the
only publication that has ever been
printed in Indian language using Inr •
ian characters. In the other nations
of the five riviliaed tribes a good deal
of matter of interert to Indians is pu>.
lished in the Indian language «<f the
nation, but English characters are
used. Ex.
