TAYLOR & TAYLOR, Lawy ' r s; Simmer’ lie - - Gemma*: THE WESTERN WORLD. Tahlequah, I. T., July 10, ’BB. Ed. News:—Having promised to write something in regard to my trip I will now endeavor to fullfllit. On June 25th we started for Chattanooga. It is useless to say much about Chattanooga for your readers know it; wilt say, however, that she is a hummer and has more coons than any city in the South. On arriving in Chattanooga we put up at a good hotel, and retired ear ly. Before retiring 1 acted the sea lion performance. I will have to refer you to Jess Hawking for par ticulars —especially when the water is chilly. Sufuce to say, we got a good night’s rest, but Jobie com plained of being nio;-<f.iito bit. Next morning we boarded the Memphis and Charleston train bound for Springfield byway of Memphis. The crops along the Tennessee river are line but rather late. After leaving the river for some distance the country is rough and broken, but the scenery was truly magnifi cent; sometimes we were running through tunnels and again over high trestles with deep, dark chasms beneath which makes a fellow feel kinder shaky, sorter like passing a graveyard at night, not exactly afraid but awful lonely. The road was good steel rail, well ballasted with rock, so I felt safe. On we went o’er hill and dale with grand ami romantic scenery on every hand, jiist in view long enough to attract attention then lost in the distance. Didn't see a great deal of farming country until we reached Bridge port; here we crossed the Tennes see river. Saw some beautiful farms and the crops were splendid. The prettiest farm I saw was an Island right at Bridgeport. It contained several hundred acres all in corn. We had a splendid view from the bridge and it looked like one vast canebrake. Some of the old breast works are still visibie at Bridgeport and no doubt some of my old Chattooga friends have a vivid recollection of Bridgeport. For quite a distance along the road the farming interest is confined principally to grain, grass and stock raising. Nearing Decatur we struck the cotton belt; also the two essentials to produce cotton —our colored friends and the mules. The crops are very good all along, but smaller than I expected to find them. In some localities they have had too much rain, consequently the crops are in bad condition and needed a few days of elbow grease. We stopped only a few moments in Decatur; didn’t see much of the town; but oue thing I did sec was a crowd of pretty girls. Decatur seems to be well supplied with that material. I was under the impres sion that Jobie was not much of a ladies man, but J was laboring un der a mistake, and I am willing to bet the last nickel I’ve got that Jo bie can see a pretty girl just a little quicker and further off than any man in Georgia. After leaving Decatur we passed through some very good farming country, very nice little villages with new build ings going up. and seemed to be in a thriving condition. "We arrived at Memphis at 7 p. m., were trans ferred from the M. <t (’. depot to the Kansas City, Ft. Scott <F Gulf line. Stayed in Memphis only a few minutes; crossed the father of waters, I'ie obi Mississippi. Had a view of President's Island, Ft. Ger man beer gardens, etc. After cross ing the river we struck the swamps which were lonely and dismal. Night was coming on and we could hear the hooting of owls, and croak ing frog.-’, and the thick, dark foli age on either side made everything look uninviting. After running through the swamps a few miles we saw some beautiful farms, smooth ■ and level with hundreds of acres in ! cultivation, and land very rich. The ; crops were as good as could be I grown on any soil and the corn crop was splendid; so thick that I you could hardly walk through it. As the sun was sinking in the west, being weary of sight seeing we re paired to the sleeper and had a good night’s rest. Arrived at Spring field, Mo , at 8 p. m., Wednesday. Here we learned that we were two | hours 1 te. W- stopped :• . the I Hotel T. oyer, h.: 1 a good brs ';l':ist, i and then proceeded to take in the ■: ! city. Springfield is a pretty town, 1 i the location is good, it is situated i right on top of the Ozark moun-1 tains, about two thousand feet! above the sea, and has about thir- j ty thousand inhabitants. The bu siness houses are good substantial * buildings. Business seemed to be lively. Springfield is on a boom and has been for some time. One thing about the place that appear ed to be a little odd. The public square was right in the center of the city. They have a double track belt street car. You can see all over the city for live cents They have beau tiful streets and many palatial res idences, all new and built in mod ern style. I was kinder stuck on Springfield, but not on her prices for real estate nor on the politics. They have a steam in the city call ed the river of Jorden ; so I stood on the banks of Jordan. I didn’t hear of their baptizing any one. We left Springfield at 5 p. tn. for Monette. After leaving Springfield we passed through some beautiful country; high, undulating prairies, I rich land, nice farms and fine crops. They raise a great deal of grass, principally timothy. We saw one orchard of six hundred acres. This is certainly a fruit country. We arrived at Monette at 7 p. m., and had supper at the Ataway house, a new hotel and a good one, and they dish up good grub. The proprietor’s name is Ataway. He is a son of old man Ataway who used to keep the Ataway house in Rome, on Bridge street. Monette is a very j pretty little town right on the prai rie. It has iifteeen hundred inhab itants and is only a year old. They ask boom prices for real estate. We ; left Monette at 8 a. m., arrived at I Vinita, Indian Territory, in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I’ll write you of Vinita in my next. I tell you, old pards, this is writing under difficulties. The girls keep passing by and 1 will look at them. Five or six called and their tongues are going like bell clappers and the children are climbing all over me and one little Cherokee girl wants to kiss me and I can’t object, would you? when the little kid is a sister to the belle of Tahlequah. [No; especially if she is a favorite sister.—Ed] We arrived at Uinita on the eve ning of the 28th ult. Uinita is sit uated on a high rolling prairie at the junction of the 51., K. & T. rail road and tire A. I’. road, 419 miles a little south of west from St. Louis. The population of this place is about a thousand: mainly whites and half breed Cherokees. It is surrounded by a wide undulating prairie, furnishing an abundance of luxuriant grass. I found at this; place a number of obi acquaintan ces, many of them from Georgia. Most all of them are my relations, - for you must know the people of the Cherokee nation all like a large family where each one is akin to the other. We spent a day in Uini ta—was entertained by old friends in a very agreeable manner. We then took the South bound train and went to Muskogee, about sixty miles south of Uinita. This is on the M., K. & T. railroad. Muskogee is in the Creek Nation near the Cherokee line. The location of I this place is beautiful, to say the I least of it, surrounded ns it is by ! fertile prairie kinds. The country between this place ami Uinita, is > j one continuous prairie with the ex-j ception of skirts of timber along] [ the water cources. Along the line of this road was to be seen thous ands of cattle lazily grazing upon its nutritious grasses. The princi pal water courses along this route are the Verdigris and Arkansas rivers, the latter some six miles north of Muskogee. On Friday ! morning, the 29th, we got aboard | the mail coack on the route for . this place. Five miles from Mus- j ■ kogee we crossed the. Arkansas riv-1 !er just bi-low where Grand river i unites v. Ith this stream, two miles more brought us to Ft. Gibson. Ft. Gibson is situated on the bank of j Grand river and has the appearance ; of being a very old town, here is al- Iso a United States post at which ' i from two to three companies of the ’ I boys in blii' const.-ii. 'ly remain. ,j < • >!. C-:ipengc., of th 1 ' U. S. army is in command, and is the son-in-law , of James G. Blaine. The Arkansas Valley railroad, from Ft. Smith is about completed, running directly < through the main street in this ; place. Passenger trains will be put ionit by the Ist of August. We left Ft. Gibson on the mail coach in company with Aunt Ann Daniel and her cute and interesting grand daughter, little Sarnie Gunter. Aunt is the daughter of Richard Taylor, commonly called old Dick Taylor, who has been dead for many years. Dick Taylor was a half blood Cherokee Indian and lived in the old nation—in what is now cal led Catoosa county a few miles west of Ringgold. The house he lived in is now known as the Old Dick Taylor place, and I think was occu pied some years by Rev. A. J. Leet. Taylor’s Ridge, that beautiful land mark, so well known to the people of Chattooga county and north west Georgia, was named for this man. Aunt Ann, with much pride, informed us of this fact, who is now verging upon three-score and ten years. Well, after a thumping and bumping ride of twenty miles in a crowded coach with the thermome ter at 92 degrees in the shade, we reached this, the capitol of the Cherokee Nation. Os course the first thing on arriving at this place, was to hunt up the old folks at home—my father and mother. We soon found them and was much re joiced to find, not only them, but brothers and sisters, in the finest of health. Well, after a night’s rest : and a slight recuperation from the j effects of the hack ride from Ft. Gibson, we strolled out to take in ! the town and hunt up old acquain ! tances and friends—all kinfolks, of course. Tahlequah is situated on a district or county of the same name. Call ed districts here. Its location is in a valley reaching along a small stream, with elevated ground to the east and west. To the cast it is a timbered country, to the west is prairie. This to wnis well supplied I with springs of the purest water. The population of the place varies from about one thousand to sixteen or seventeen hundred. This in consequence of the numerous schools run by missionaries. The primary schools of the nation, together with the two high schools, male and fe male seminaries. When the schools are all in full blast they are attend- j ed by from six to seven hundred children. The Male semi.inry, a massive brick structure of their societies stands upon a beautiful eminence 1] miles south west of the capitol building and will comforta bly lodge 200 students. The na tion had the misfortune to loose its i female seminary of like structure las th" male, by fire a year ago. i The last National council which ! convened last fall determined im ' mediately to rebuild a new semina |ry and appropriated fifty-seven I thousand dollars for that purpose which is now being erected by the parties to whom the contract was awarded, three-fourth of a mile a little north east of the State house. This building is to boos modern architecture ami furnished with ali the appliances necessary for the uses of such structures. Tne build ing has 220 feet front. The main body of the house' is eighty feet wide with an ell of 112 feet. As the old seminary was lost fer want !of water on the spot, involving a loss of about eighty thousand dol- I lars, the natives have learned by | sad experience, that such buildings should have an abundance of water near at hand. ’Water is carried through pipes by a steam engine which will force it to any part of the building. This building will be made for the reception of the daughters of this people to be edu cated by the first of February next. I might as well remark just here I that more attention is given to the I education of the females than in .! any community that I know of oiz j equal population. This they say |is broad cast- upon the waters the ■ j fruits of which will bo gathered up many days hence. The eitszens of Tahlequah are merry, good humored, somewhat . inclined to rolicing, altogether tax ing th" world easy and to the square ; yard c irri's mor ■ good looking NO. 24. girls and young ladies than any town in America, according to pop ulation. In matters of this sort I consider myself an expert judge as you are well aware. Fortunately for us the National Council was in session on our ar rival here which, of course, brought people from all sections of the na tion. The object of convening the National Council in special session was to consider some railroad bus iness and the re-leasing of six mil lions acres of grass land west of 9(5 as they call it here. The lands have been leased to a stock associa tion at one hundred thousand dol lars per annum. The great desira bility and advantages of so much grass land has called to it the at tention of stock men all over the west and south west. The nation is now offered $160,000 for their lands for grazing purposes only. It is said today another stock compa ny will be represented here tomor row ami will offer $175,000. It is probable, however, this vast tract of grazing or grass land will reach $200,000 per annum before this land is let to any company. It is the finest body of grass land in the United States or its territories, and the nation is beginning to appreci ate its true value. Politics here, as elsewhere, con sist mainly of a wild chase after the loaves and fishes—the outs against the ins. We have had the pleasure of meeting and becoming acquainted with the principal chief, Joel B. Mays, who stands about 5 feet and ten inches and his avoirdupois is 270 pounds. lie is about 56 years old, and was born in old Cass coun ty, on Two Run creek not far from old Cassville. The assistant chief, Sam Smith, is a tall dignified full blood Cherokee and is said to be the finest orator in the nation. In de portment, manner and jesture he is ('hesterfleldian. I have had also the pleasure of becoming acquainted with the National treasurer, Rob’t. B. Ross, who is the grand-son of cx-Chief John Ross, L. B. Bell and others whose reputation and character I have known and heard of some years since while residing in this nation. Decidedly the most conspicious figure in the sen ate is Hon. George Sanders, a full blood of immense proportions. His weight is about 300 pounds, a great wag and of infinite good humor. He is called generally Sorgee, which is his Cherokee name. I have been astonished at the progress and im provements made by the Cherokees since I last visited this country. These are my people and I am truly triad to be able to state this of them We had a grand ball nt the Bates house last night. I will write you of it later. There is another ball in town tonight and I have an invi tation. 1 will close for the present. Say, don’t forget to tell the people that I will be back soon and that I I am still a candidate for sheriff, and IL H. Ellis for deputy. Tell Bert to keep on our own side of the line, that I hear that he has been over in Whitfield county. O. 1.. Wyi.y. The death of Sidney 11. Gray, author and journalist of New York, was caused by the rare disease of ossification. At the age of seventy he had two strokes of paralysis and from that time on his body was not acutely sensible, though his brain remained active. Twinges like neuralgia preceded the last stages of the change of flesh into bone. The area of acute insensitiveness moved slowly up his legs, until for | their complete length they were ns solid, senseless and heavy as stone. Drugs were of no avail in checking the steady advance, and when it reached the vital organs to attack them, death happily came to his . relief. Did You Ever. W. 11. Revels, M. D., Baltimore, Md., says: “I have been in the I practice of medicine for over eigh ' teen years, but never have I seen the equal of Hodges’ Sarsaparilla. ’ i It has worked miracles here in cur ’ ing Rheumatism and Scrofula. Have almost come to the conclusion that I cannot practice without it. II Sold by a’l druggists. Never take undue liberties with c the business end of a wasp, but g take, the News.
