Pl>. 1-192,8°. A sixteen-page, two-column 

 paper, issued irregularly, mainly devoted to 

 religious and temperance topics ; edited by 

 Rev. Evau Jones and published by H. Upham, 

 Cherokee, Baptist Mission Press. It was 

 printed almost entirely in Cherokee characters, 

 less than four columns of English appearing iu 

 the first number and scarcely anything but 

 the titles of articles iu the last. 



The title given above is the caption of No. 1. 

 It is probable each issue had outside cover with 

 title-p.age ; the only ones I have seen, however, 

 are those for January and November, 1845, 

 the title of the former of which reads as fol- 

 luws: The Cherokee Messenger. | Edited by | 

 E. Jones. 1 [Three lines Cherokee characters.] 

 1 January, 1845. ] Cherokee: I Baptist Mission 

 Press. II. Upham, Publisher. | [Three lines 

 Cherokee characters.] | 1845. 



Perhaps these twelve numbers are all that 

 were issued of this series. I have seen one later 

 issue: Vol. 1, No. 2, Sept., 1858, J. Buttrick 

 Jones, Editor. B.aptist Mission, Cherokee Na- 

 tion, Mark Tyger, Printer. Pp. 1-16, 8°. 



The contents of this little paper are vaiied, 

 the first number, forinstanco, containing: Trans- 

 lation of Genesis into tlie Cherokee language, 

 parts of chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ; translation of Ban- 

 yan's Pilgrim's Progress ; Psalm I ; Peter Par- 

 ley's Universal History ; Cherokee alphabet, 

 characters as arranged by the inventor ; brief 

 specimens of Cherokee grammatical forms [pro- 

 nouns] ; Going Snake District Temperance So- 

 cictj'. On pp. 15-16 is an article iu English 

 with this same heading, as well as an obituary 

 notice of Rev. Jesse Bushyhead. 



These articles are continued in the later 

 numbers, Genesis being completed in No. 8 

 and the gospel of Luke being begun in the 

 same issue. The grammatic articles are con- 

 tinued in Nos. 2, 6, 7, and 9, these four numbens 

 being devoted to verbs.
