147 YEARS AGO

– The treaty of 1866 recognized the right of the Creek Indian nations to tax non-citizens, licensed traders for the benefit of said nation.

– It’s a good time now to hold a general council of these nations. A mass meeting as it were.

– We would say it might be well to finish up Sitting Bull and Joseph, before turning over the Indian Territory to the land grabbers.

– Tons and tons of vegetables, cabbages, onions and beets, are going south to our neighbors in Texas daily over the M.K. & T. We could raise all these and save much freight. Here are the broad acres, there the open mouths. Who will raise the crops to fill the gap? We can do it.
