The Cherokees are far in advance of u.s. YOUNG
Wolfe, Cherokee, writes to the editor of the
South Western Christian Advocate, the following
good news:


Our General Council has just closed Its req
ular session, during which we have had perfect
harmony. Many important laws have been en-
acted, which, if carried into effect, will prove We
ry advantageous to US as nation. Our nation
has suffered heretofore, much on account of the


soul-killng' effects of spirituous liquors, which
have flooded our country almost to perfect inun-
dation; and we have thought it wise in us to ar
rest, if possible, It's maddened course And our
council has passed law, which is to take effect
on the 1st of January, 1912, That all persons
bringing in or retailing spirituous liquors in the
Cherokee nation, will subject themselves to
fine of $500 and the liquor to be poured upon the
ground And it is to be hoped that the state Of
Arkansas will pass some law to cooperate with
this IN repelling this foul monster of death from
our beloved country, that from these western
"iids' the song OF praise to God and the Lamb
may be heard without distraction, to reyerberate
from hill and dale We have also Bible society
formed in the Cherokee nation, in which enter.
PRISE we hope to do something through the bless
ing Of God.
