No independent news papor wants an ad fruin such or from any one else who does not ad varus on tue business principle that be is getting, directly or iu directly, full value for the money expended.

It was purchased by the government in 18GG, of the Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and Keminolo Indians, with a view to settling frocdmon and friendly In dians thereon. A good deal of the land is (if excellent quality, well tatered and tempting to land grab bers.

Somb papers are lauding Hon. Jaa. G. Blaine, because he has made Cleveland a friendly visit.
